Her yolce was so wonâ€" derfully clear, even in this whisper of singing, that I felt sure she could have made the music andible across the lake. l‘lainly, then, this was an invitation, and upon the strength of it I cut my distance from the shore im half.

So I cut off dnotber rod or two of distance. ‘The fire was mow quite distinet. It seemed to be on a flat rock not much «boveâ€"the water level, and behind it was a curving wall, a little clif ten feet high, but of this only the top was visible, for it was of course impossible for me to see anything that was diâ€" }egtly_ beh.{l‘ld the light.

I think a special dispensation must have been granted me, for I got through the first stanza like a niglitingale, but I perâ€" gpired freely with terror. ‘Then 1 waited, and by my sensations of duraâ€" tion it should hive been 4 o‘clock in the next afternoon~ when I heard a blessed sound from the shore. . It was the guitar, apd presently the lady sang again. She had chosen "Heart‘s Deâ€" light?‘ a q:.int little melody, and BibyI‘s favorite of all, as I remembered.

Therein it was the more agréeamble. 1 did not wish to réduce this adventure As for t-?fl singer, she was ntt,rly inâ€" visible. There was something mystical i this music, which seemed to proceed out of the red fire that, with the faâ€" miliar habit ef inanimate moving obâ€" jJects, assumed to the eye the rhythin of the song. I was so deeply fascinated by all !hll\ that I forgot my seamanâ€" thip and let my oar strike the boat‘s rail with a sharp sound. Instantly the music ceased, and I was tortured by a perfect silence. This was an emergency, and I knew it. The pinger might be at that moment esapâ€" ing by some secret path among the rocks. For a moment I was near to the deadly banality of addressing ber, mpologizing, introducing myself, comâ€" tmitting I know not what absurdity.

"Mâ€"mâ€"m." He had caught this sound from Mrs. Witherspoon and bad modified it in accord with his own.nature. As ut tered by him and accompanied by slow nodding of the head it meant: "So this man wants to buy flowers? Well, well! This is just what I expected."

The window was open, and â€"the blind blowing to and fro, pleasantly cooled the atmosphere of the room. To reach it she had to pass through Dudley‘s, and the outer door of thi was closed. Betty tapped upon the Panels; but it would be difficult, a: she knew, for any one in the inn» room to hear a lnock, and oppressed with a suddenâ€" anxiety, she turncd the handle of the door and opening it, stood just outside, listening in tently. Presently, to h>r great rclief, a long sigh reached herears, for in th: stillness she had hall dreaded to fnt Victor already dead. ‘The sigh was repeated and she could h>ar him turm ing restlessly upcn his bed and faint ly moan‘ng.

Was it credible that a sinistcr ond deadly int¢nt lay behind these seemâ€" ingly _«pernaturalâ€"apparitions? The mere idea turned her sick and faint. She put mer nand x~ zer head and staggered â€" a step forward into the room, and the movement disturbed Victor. * Betty could heat the beating of her heart, and her forehead was damp with terror; but she moved not a bair‘s breadth, and uttered no sound. The . hand in the wall grasped a phial, the fingers curved forward, and drop by drop its contents fell with a little splash down into the jug beâ€" low.. Then, noiselessly and mysterâ€" jously as it had appeared, the hand was withdrawn and to al appearance the partition wall resumed its notâ€" mal unbroken surface.
