CHAPTER X.—Continued.
' Wo thought it was he and Mrs. j
Bruce that we saw last night," Laid I
MaeArdel, pleasantly. "We wAe out
enjoying the moonlight when they |
drove down the road."
"Didn't see nuthin' else, did ye?"
asked Hoskins, in a confidential tone.
"Why, no!" laughed MaeArdel.
Why do you ask?"
"Wal," said Hoskins, drawing near-
er and speaking seriously, "Jenks says

went past him, daown th' road jest as
ho wuz a-turnin' into th' pike. His boss

an'it threw him agin th' dash an' cut
his hand some. He called mo up teh

looked scared enough to ha' seen 20
ghosts."
"Was his hand badly hurt?" I asked.
"Nuthin' teh speak of," said Hos-
kins. ".lest a little nick along the
side like he'd gouged a piece aouten
it."
"See here, Hoskins!" said MaeArdel
sharply. "We didn't see any ghosts
last night, and all your friend Jenks
could have seen was ourselves, in our
shirtsleeves, walking back of the
hedge by the river road. You remem-
ber how his horse jumped and ran,
don't you. Wire?"
"Certainly," 1 replied, obediently
"We wondered what the trouble was,
at tho time."
"Now, then, Hoskins," continued j
MaeArdel, looking at Ills watch and j
speaking rapidly. "Don't lei Jenks hear
a word about tills business. He don't
know that I had a trunk at the station,
and, If we can get back hero before
he wakes up, he needn't even know
that we've had his wagon."
"No fear of Ills wakln' up fur a good
bit yet," grinned Hoskins. "lie wuz so
scared when lie got in that he liked
teh ha' finished a pint o' whisky 'fore
I could stop him."
"So much tho better" said MacAr-
den, gathering up the reins. "Now, re-
member what I say, and keep this
business to yourself. We'll have some
l'un with him before begets through!"
We drove as rapidly as the tired
beast could carry us, until we reached
the gate leading into the stable
grounds, when MaeArdel nulled up
suddenly and said:'
"Let's dump the trunk in here. We
can carry it up to the house after we
get this horse and wagon buck whore
they belong. No one will touch It
here."
As soon as the trunk was on tho
ground by the side of the roadway
MaeArdel dragged out the parcel from
under the blankets and, opening it on
the grass, began to examine the pieces
minutely.
After a moment he straightened up
and exclaimed:
"It's just as 1 thought. It's the same
stuff that we found last night, and
the scoundrel went back and got em
all after we had gone to bed!"

settle down for better or for worse,
yen come along with a scheme to
oust her, bag and baggage, and turn
her place Into golf links."
"What of it?" I replied. "We are
going to provjde for tier elsewhere
and she will bo better off than she
is now."
"Vou know that, kut she doesn't,"
continued MaeArdel, "and there may
be other reasons why she does not
want to move. This seems to be a
pretty prosperous community, and ap-
parently no one about her is espe-
cially anxious to have tho house
open."
"No reason why they should want it
open," I said. "Practically all the serv-
ants are brought from the city and al- j
most nothing is purchased in the vil- |
luge, so the natives don't derive any j
material benefit from tho place."
"But they may when it's closed up," j
nol return to the house until that

dered on down the hill. MaeArdel
said:
"She don't look half bad, after all.
I confess 1 expected to see a very
different sort of woman."
A moment later ho muttered as if to
himself: "We'll get the story out
of her, though, or I'll miss my guess,"
beyond which sago remark he became
absolutely uncommunicative on the
entire subject.
We kept our word about returning
to the place before evening, and, after
lunching at Hoskins' and taking a row
on the river In tho afternoon, we ar
rived at the house a little after five
to await the appearance of Mrs.
Bruce. MaeArdel had been far from
talkative for some time, when sudden-
ly he said:
Ware, go back to the village right

away.
"They'll have a fine time doing it,"
I said. "Miss Carney isn't afraid of

The Ghosts Captured.

blankets in as nearly as possible
same condition and position as when
we found it, we drove rapidly back to
Hoskins' stable and were successful

"Now," said MaeArdel, "all we have
to do Is to tip oil' that, man at the sta-
tion, and we can keep Jenks in the
dark until we are reat|y to bring him
up with a round turn."
We walked the short half mile to
tho railway and found no difficulty
in bribing the fellow to silence con
corning the trunk, laying stress on

practicing on the driver of the "ex-

"You see." said MaeArdel, as we
rtrolled leisurely along the grassy
roadside "the whole business is plaiu

and to Impress tin- wondering natives
