Tho gordener's name was Wllllnrn
noil. He luul boon on tho place almost
from tho tliun of Mr. Sidney's purchase
of It. Ho was attached to It, proud of
IiIh work nml fond of It and Its results.
JIo had n neat little cottage beyond
the gardens. Ills wfo was very pleas
ant and thought too inticli of my serv
ices. Williamson himself was a lino
man, and I ntn Interested In gnrdoifing.'
Consequently, having to visit the fam
ily every day or every other day, I
formed u habit of talking with him.
When, by cliance, 1 spoke of tho
ghost story to Williamson, with no
more purpose than 1 ever had had In
these Inquiries. I noticed that he was
u bit embnrrassed.
"I take no stock In the stories nbout
tho pool," lie said. "I'd Just as lief
pass It ut midnight as mlddny al
most." "He honest, Williamson," I suggested
laughingly.
"Almost, I said," he replied. "But I
did see something nt tho pool."
lie was a straightforward, unlmng
lnatlvo sort of mnn. I was sure he was
not about to Indulge In romance.
"I kuow something of these stories,"
he said. "I have not gossiped mlno
nbout I wns coming from town lato
after midnight. It was the second
year of our being here. It was In the
fall or late summer I do not remem
ber. As I came along the mud by tho
pool, I saw the figure of a man stntvl
Ing by the edge of tho river. It was
light enough for me to see that the
llguro was leaning on n stick or cane.
I stopped and was going to call out,
but for some reason I don't know Just
why i didn't. The llguro did not
move. I began to feel creepy and
went on as gently as I could. Fifty
feet farther, I heard a rustling In the
brush and I thought I saw a face. I
'couldn't be sure, but I thought I did.
I know I heard a rustling. When I
got out In tho open, I ran the rest of
the way homo on tho turf."
"There was nothing very alarming
about that," I suggested. My romance
weeded more substance. "Ion saw a
man and heard a noise."
"There was nolhng In seeing n man
nd hearing n noise," said Williamson.
"It was tho effect."
"That was due to the hour nnd tho
flnce."
"No. I'm not superstitious. I was
not thinking of the place. Tho man
on tho bank was different from it mnn.
1 could not see why. I didn't think ho
was a man. It was not becuuso I was
scared at first. I became scared as
I looked at hint. He did not move.
Jlu did not seem to be alive. When I
felt shivers starting up and down my
back, I knew I was scared. Then when
I heard the rustling, I went home us
quickly and quietly tin I could."
would be unjust don't you see It
would be unjust? to make a point
ngalnst him or behavior that Mr. Sid
ney causes. I'leasu never mention It."
She wns very much in earnest and
was not satisfied until she had my
promise that I never would speak to
Mr. Sidney of Jed until I had her con
sent. She then showed relief, and I
felt more distressed. .led had some
hold on this resolute lady that 1 should
have liked to break.
Jed's attitude tmvnrd me was n
thing to drive districted u person who
cared what It was. I did not. He
could bo Interesting, and then I was
Interested In htm. He could be stupid,
nnd I avoided him. He could be surly,
and I Ignored him. Ho could be quar
relsome, nnd I fought him back.
It seldom was a matter of sobriety
or Insobriety with him. He was best
natural to mo at times when he was
most Intoxicated. He was surliest at
times when he was perfectly sober. At
other times he quite reversed this. One
never knew from bis physical condi
tion what his disposition mlglit be at
the time.
Hc'served nt dinner when Mrs. Sid
ney, Isobel and I, more ceremoniously
than we cared to, dined. Certain do
mestic ceremonies pleased Mr. Sidney
and he liked to know that In some re
spects tho baronial character of his
place was being maintained as he
would lmvu maintained It If he had
been active.
When Jed was In good nature, ho
frequently sought me out for talks, and
when be was In good nature, I en
couraged Idm. I did not want to open
up any secrets the house mlglit have,
merely to learn what they were, but I
know Mrs. Sidney needed help, and I
thought I might give It if I knew how.
I also thought that Jed somo evening
when pleasantly and good naturally
drunk nnd garrulous might say more
than ho Intended. There wero many
opportunities, hut he never did.
Ono night this was In September
I was walking about the placo with tho
mastiffs at my side. I stood a while at
tho edge of the woods looking at tho ,
"I hope It Is to osk me to take Jed
In hand," I said.
"No j It Is to nsk you to permit mo
to announce the engagement of my
daughter Isobel to you. Don't bo
nlarmed. It shall not make any dif
ference In your life. It Is a desperate
expedient I am using out of u diffi
culty." I felt ns If I were In a spiritual fog.
"Is that the only way I cun help you
out?" I asked.
"The only one." she said. "I have
thought of everything."
"Has It to do with Jed again?" I
nsked.
"With things I ennnot possibly ex
plain. Is there any one who would be
distressed by such an announcement?"
"Not a soul," I said, "except Miss
Sidney."
"I would not cause pain," said Mrs.
Sidney. "Are you sure there Is no
one?"
"Mrs. Sidney," I said, "you are the
only lady who ever has given me a
thought slnre I knew my mother. I
am merely wondering what Miss Sid
ney will think of me In such it role.
Will she understand why I take It? I
am not hesitating. I hope I do not
seem to be, but I knowI suspect
that your decision Is sudden."
"Isobel's affection for us Is greater
than her demand for Independence,"'
said Mrs. Sidney. "If nhe knows that
I asked you to consent to this an
nounetfment, she will think of you as
a proved friend."
I laid suggested all the precautions
that were reasonable. "You certainly
may moke any use of mo yon want
to." I said. She thanked me and said
good night.
Isobel's view of our engagement was
purely comic. She may have had a
roc uil of spiritual revolt, but comedy
and consideration for her mother as
serted themselves. Mrs. Sidney, when
she told Isobel of the engagement, had
me present. The mother was really
embarrassed, almost flustered, but she
was determined. Isobel was greatly
amused.
It may be Imagined that I was not
irolc. I might better have been a
ix figure taken from a display win
dow. I felt like one, a thing with a
wax Miillo and no animation.
"It Is merely precautionary," said
Mrs. Sidney uneasily. "It Is quite Im
possible to explain. You will have to
accept my Judgment, Isobel. Dr. John"
an odd halfway bouse toward lntl
nincy sho readied and stopped at
"Dr. John has been kind enough to
do as 1 asked hltn. I need and want

pin doing."
I felt a touch of emotion at that.
Unconsciously, Intent upon her main
point, phc had Included me at the fire
side and had spoken of her "children."

down by the pool.
I was In the brush for fifteen min
ute, and It happened Unit while I was
there I saw from a little prominence
the figure of Jed on ahead with his
shotgun. He was some distance away,
hut I could see that he was going
stealthily from tree to tree In an odd
fashion for one hunting for rabbits. It
was as If he were stalking something
rather than trying to kick rabbits up
out of the brush.
I went on toward the pool. Once

at night.
I walked slowly across tho Inwn
toward tho sldo where Mrs. Sidney's
rooms were. A small balcony opened
off her sitting room. I could hear her
talking to some one on this balcony.
The person she wns talking to, as I
heard In another moment, was Jed. I
was then utmost under tho balcony.
"I am a rcsoluto mnn," Jed was say
ing. "I'll hnve my own wny. I'll have
what I want. I'll mako you glad to
come to terms. 1 in a rensonnble man,
too. Now, admit that I've been con

quietly and rapidly as I could, but I
heard Mrs. Sidney, her voice vibrant
with Indignation, say:
"I ought to have you whipped."
That Is silly, unreasonable passion,"
said Jed.
"I shall not hesitate to kill you,"
sold Mrs. Sidney.
Then I went out of earshot. The
fact that .Tod could threaten Mrs. Sid
ney In this fushlon was Inexplicable.
It could not bo explained by his serv

When I snw that ho was again begin

"You mustn't try to, Isobel," said
Mr. Sidney anxiously. "I am doing

loiter In the evening I saw Isobel,
finding her alone In tho library, where
she wiwi rending. I went In to get a
book beforo going to bed. She was
by a lamp near the fireplace, and she
looked very beautiful.
"I want in tnlk- to von." she said
when she saw me. "Do you know the
explanation of this?"
"No," I said.
"You are not quite honest," she said.

"Of course, something Is extraordi

you sit down?"
With n soft witchery of femininity
he pervaded and glorified the room,
hut she was peremptory. I was not
sullen, but I felt defiant.
"Hccnuse I don't want to sit down,"
I said.
Isobel smiled indulgently at me.
"Oh, sit down, Dr. John," she said.
"I want to talk to you. We are en

There also had been found a heavy

in the blood.
I had not been sitting on the banlc
live minutes when I was startled by u
shot from the nearby thickets, and n
bullet hit within two feet of where I
was sitting, knocking off the bark of
a tree. The report was not that of a
small shotgun such as Jed had car
ried. It was the report of a rllle or
pistol.
The chipped bark showed that u bul
let, not shot, had hit the tree, and I
was unpleasantly conwloiis of what
had happened. Jed hud shot at me,
probably with a large cal'her revolver.
He could not have had t rllle, unless
he had one bidden In tre brush. I
had seen what he carried, not only as
ne left the house but as In was dodg
ing through the thickets.
It likely was n pistol or .. revolver,
and that was why he had trlssed me.
I was stupefied for an lus'ti'.it, and I
did not Jump or start. I wn motion
less, not even looking nrouml, but I
was thinking rapidly. A subconscious
protective Idea formed almost Instant
ly, and when the next moment another
shot came from behind me, I fell for
ward on my face, rolled a couple of
feet to a bush, turned my face In the
direction from widen the shot came,
got out my pistol and- lay still.
After a minute or two which seemed
a very long time. Jed's face came In
view in the brush. He looked malevo

cuutlous. I think he was uncertain
whether to leave my body where It lay
und have It discovered, or throw It Into
the river nnd have my disappearance
unexplained. His decision was given
him by the noise of a farm wagon ap
proaching on the road, and be disap
peared. I was ready to shoot him if
lie came near me.
I was young and had youth's confi
dence, but nevertheless this event
would have sent me away from Hart

Mrs. Sidney. They needed even my
small help and 1 had to remain. 1 had
to remain, but 1 had also to protect
