Although I tried to pretend an in

if there was a mystery, why did they
stay there? Why didn’t they move?
Yet, as I pondered over the matter,
I was convinced that both my great-
uncle and his wife were rational.' I
dismissed without hesitation the the
ory that there could have been any
supernatural happenings to affright
them. It was probable, I decided, that
their fears might have been played on
by some conspiracy on the part of
their servants to induce them to spend
a season in Maine. Perhaps there
was some specter from my great-
uncle’s past now rjsing to confront
him that he was keekjng to hide from
his wife. It might he that she knewr
