"Thon wo nro Just wbcro we started." "Not so bad as that. Miss Innos," Itlggs said oagorly. "Nlnn Carrlngton camo from the town In California where Mr. Armstrong died. Why waa tho doctor so afraid of hor? Tho Car rlngton woman know something. I lived with Dr. Walker seven years, mid I know him well. Thoro are fow things ho Is afraid of.

"Wlint wiib It Warner overheard tho woman say to Mr. Innos In tho li brary?" tlio detective asked mo. "Sho said 'I know thoro was some thing wrong from tho start. A man ihii't well one day and dead the npxt without some reason.' " How perfectly It all seemed to fit! Koslo. Tin1 domestic force was now down to Mary Anne and Mddy, with llio umlcr-g.trdciicr's wife coming i very day to help out. Fortunately, Warner and tho detectives wero keep ing bncl'.elor hall In the lodge. Out of deference to Llddy they washed their dishes once a day, and they con cocted iieer messes, according to their several abilities. They had ono triumph that they ntc regularly for breakfast, and that clung to their clothes and their hair tho rest of the day. It was bacon, hardtack and onions, fried together. They wero nl most pathetically grateful, however, I noticed, for an occasional broiled ten derloin. It was not until Gertrude and Itoslo had gone. and Sunnysldo bnd settled down for tho night, with Winters at tho foot of tho staircase, that Mr. Jamioson broached a subject he had evidently planned before lie enmo. 'Miss Innes," lie said, stopping mo as I was about to go to my room up stairs, "how are your nerves to night?" "1 havo none," I said happily. "With Halsey found, my troubles have gone." "I mean," bo persisted, "do you feel as though you could go through with something rather unusual?" "The most unusual thing I can think of would be n peaceful night. Hut If anything Is going to occur, don't daro to let mo miss It." "Something Is going to occur," he said. "And you're the only womnn I can think of that I can tako along." llo looked at his watch. "Don't nsk mo any questions, Miss Innes. Put on of hendstoncs, antl although, when I found myself last. I had an instinctive denim to keep looking back over my shoulder, I found that, the first uncnsl ncsa pist, a cemetery at night Is much tho "ame as any other country place, nilod with vague shadow's and unex pected noises. Once, Indeed but Mr .Inmlcson said It was an owl, and I tried to believe him. In tho shadow of the Armstrong granite shaft wo stopped. 1 think the doctor wanted to send mo back. "It's no place for a woman," I benrd him protesting angrily. Hut tho de tective said something about wit nesses, and the doctor only came over and felt my pulse. "Anyhow, I don't bellove you're any worse off here than you would bo In thnt nlghtmnre of a house," ho said finally, and put his coat on the steps of the nhnft for me to sit on. There Is n sense of desecration, of a reversal of the everlasting fitness of things, In resurrecting n body from Its mother clay. And yot that night, In the Casanova cburchynrd, I sat quiet ly by, and wntclfed Alex and Mr. .Jamioson steaming over their work, without a single qualm, except the fear of detection. Tho doctor kept a keen lookout, but no one appeared. Once In a while ho camo over to mo, and gave mo a roassuring pat on the shoulder. "1 never expected to come this," he said once. "There's one thing sure I'll not bo suspected of complicity. A doctor Is generally supposed to bo handier at burying folks than at dig ging them up." ImPU CHAPTER XXX. ' When Churchyards Yawn. It was on Wednesday Hlggs told us the story of his connection with somo incidents that had been previously un explained, Hnlscy bad buna gone since tho Friday night before, and with tho passage of each day I felt that ho might bo carried thousands of mllos In tho box car, locked In. per haps, without water or food. I had read of cases whoro bodies had been found locked In ears on isolated sid ings In llio west, and my spirits wont down with every hour Ills recovery was distlned to be al most as sudden as his disappearance, and was due dliertly to tho tramp Alex had brought, to Sunnysldo. It seems tho man wns grateful for his release, and when ho h nriied some thing of llalsoy's whereabouts from another member or his fraternity for It Ib a fraternity ho wns piompt In lotting us know. On Wednesday evening Mr. Jamie sou, who hnd been down at tho Arm strong bouso trying to see Umlse and falling was met near tho gate at Sunnysldo by nn Individual precisely as repulsive and unkempt :ib the one Alex had captured. The man knew tho dotcctlvo, and ho gave him a pleco of dirty paper, on which was scrawled tho words: "llo's at City hospital, Johnsvlllo." Tho tramp who brought the papor protended to know nothing, oxcopt this: Tho paper had boon passed along from a "hobo" In Johnsvlllo, who seemed to know the information would bo valuable to us. Again tlio longdistance telephono camo Into requisition Mr Jmnicson called tho h,ospital, while wo crowded around him. And when there wan no longer any doubt Hint It was Halsey, aud that ho would probably recovor, we all laughed and cried together. I am miro I kissed Mddy, ami 1 have bad terrible moments sinco when 1 Bouiu lo remember kissing Mr. Jauiinsoii, too, in tho oxcitoment. Anyhow, by 11 o'clock that night ISortrudo was on hor way to Johns villi, H80 mllos uway, accompanied by mm m Mil tw""T -dSKyviV?'- "V m a - "She Walked All Around the House heavy shoes, and Bomo old dark clothes, and ninke up your mind not to be surprised at anything." Llddy was sleeping tho sleep of tho Just when I wont upstairs, and I hunted out my things cautiously. Tho detective was wafting In the hall, and I was astonished to boo Dr. Stewart with him. They wero talking con fidentially together, but when 1 came down they ceased. There were a fow preparations to bo mado: the locks to bo gone over, Winters to be Instructed as to renewed vigilance, and then, after extinguishing tho hall light, we crept, in tlio darkness, through the trout door, and Into the night. I aski d no questions. I folt that they were doing mo honor in making mo one of the paity, and I would show them I could bo as silent as they. Wo went across tho Holds, passing through tho woods that reached almost to the ruins of tho stable, going over stiles now and then, and sometimes step plug over low fences. Once only homebody spoke, and then it was an emphatic bit or profanity from Dr Stewart when ho ran Into a wire fence. We wero joined nt tno end of five minutes by another mnn, who fell Into stop with tlio doctor silently, lie car ried something over his shoulder which 1 could not mnko out. In this way we walked tor perhaps 20 mimics. Tho doctor was pulling siiinowhat when wo dually came to a halt. I con fess that just at that mlnuto even Sunnysldo seemod a cheerful spot. Wo had paused at tho edge of a level oloarul place, bordered all around with primly trimmed evergreen trees, lletween them 1 caught a glimpse of starlight Milnlng down on rows of while headstones and an occasional nioio imposing monument or towering shaft. In spite of myself. 1 drew my breath in sharply. Wo wero on tho edgo of the Casanova churchyard. 1 saw now both tho man who had Joined tho party and tho implements ho carried. It wns Alox, armed with two long-hnndled similes. After tho llrst shock of surprise, I llattor my self I wns both cool and quiet. Wo went In alnglo llio botween tho rows l First, Looking Up at the Windows." Tho uncanny mouinnt enmo when Alex and Jatnleson tossed the spades on the grass, and 1 confess I hid my face. There was a period of stress, I think, while tho heavy collln was be ing raised. 1 felt that my composure wiib going, nnd, for fear 1 would shriek, I tried to think of something else what tlmo Oertnulo would reach Halsoy anything but tho grisly reali ty that lay Just beyond me on tho grass. And then I heard a low exclamation from the detective and I felt tho pres sure of tho doctor's lingers on my arm. "Now, Miss Innes." he said gently. "If you will come over " I held on to him frantically, and somehow I got there and looked down. s.i ', y ftol. umm&im w "But the Face That Showed in the Light" Tho lid of the casket had been raised and a silver pinto on it proved wo had mado no mistake. Hut the face that showed In tho light of tho lantom was a faco I had never soon before, Tho man who lay before ua was not Paul Armstrong! CHAPTER XXXI. Between Two Fireplaces. What with the excitement of tho dis covery, tho walk home under the Btars In wet shoos nnd draggled skirts, and getting upstairs nnd undressed without rousing Llddy, I was completely used up. Wlint to do with my boots was the greatest puzzle of all, thero being no place in the house snfo from Lld dy, until I decided to slip upstairs the next morning nnd drop them Into the hole tho "ghost" had made in tho trunkroom wall. I went asleep as soon as I reached this decision, nnd in my dreams 1 lived over again the events of the night. Again I saw the group around the silent llgtiro on the grass, and again, as had happened at the grave, I heard Alex's voice, tense and tri umphant: "Then we've got them," he said. Only, In my dreams, ho said It over and over until he seemed to shriek It in my ears. I wakened early, in spite of my fa tigue, and lay thero thinking. Who was Alex? I no longer believed that ho was a gardener. Who was the man whose body we had resurrected? Aud where was Paul Armstrong? Prob ably living safely In some extradition less country on the fortune he had stolen. Did Louise nnd her mother know of the shameful nnd wicked de ception? What had Thomas known, nnd Mrs. Watson? Who was Nina Cnrrlngton? This last question, it seemed to me, was answered. In some way the woman had learned of the substitu tion, and had tried to use hor knowl edge for blackmail. Nlnn Carrington's own story died with her, but. however It happened, It wns clear that she had carried her knowledge to Halsey the afternoon Gertrude and I were look ing for clews to the man I had shot on the east veranda. Halsey had been half crazed by what ho beard; It was evident Hint Ixiulse was marrying Dr. Walker to keep the shameful secret, for her mother's sake. Halsey, al ways reckless, had gone at once to Dr. Walker and denounced him. There had been a scene, and he left on his way to the station to meet nnd notify Mr. Jamioson of what he had learned. The doctor was active mentally and physically. Accompanied perhaps by Hlggs, who had shown himself not everscrupulous until he quarreled with his employer, ho had gone across to the railroad embankment, and, by jumping In front of tho car, had caused Halsoy to swerve. The rest of the story wo knew. That was my reconstructed theory of that afternoon nnd evening; It was almost correct not quite. There was a telegram that morning from Gertrude. IlalBey funxelotiK nnd Improving. Prob ably home In day or uo. (jKtrrmjDK With Halsey found mid Improving in health, and with at last something to work on, I began that day, Thurs day, with fresh courage. As Mr. .lamlesou had said, the lines were closing up. That I wns to bo caught and almost llnlshed in the closing wns happily unknown to us nil. It was late when I got up. I lay In my bed, looking around the four walls of tho room, and trying to Imagine be hind what one of them n secret cham ber might lie. Certainly, In daylight, Siinnyside deserved Its name; never wiib a bouso more cheery and open, less sinister In general appearance. There was not a corner apparently that was not open nnd above-board, and yet, somowbero behind Its hand somely papered walls 1 believed firmly that there lay a hidden room, with all the possibilities It would Involve. 1 made a mental note to have the house measured during tho day to dis cover any discrepancy botween the outer and Inner walls, an.l I tried to recall again the exact wot ding of tho paper .lamlohon had found.
