At tke great coach entrance of tha
old house I paid the driver and let him
go. II# waa anxloua to be gone. It
waa growing dark. Then I begun ring
ing the bell.
At tHe third ringing there was a re
sponse, In the form of a servant, a
man, butler or doorman, past middle
age. H^ was crusty.
"What do you want?” he asked.
' I explained that I was Dr. Michel-
son and wanted nothing that I was not
wanted for. I did not like his manner
and was not Inclined to ignore It or to
propitiate him as ordinarily one
would. He had, at first sight, an ex
traordinary power of exasperation. At
the time I did not understand my
weakness, but afterward I did. The
man was abnormal as ao Irritant
Thus my appearance at Hartley
houae was so unfortunate that If the
servant** contumacy and my reaent-
roent had had another moment, the
door would have hem slammed Id my
fact and I •ktmld have hem walking

lane t thought I heard an-
other sound than that of the ctlrfchig
of the latch. I had. It was the throw
ing of a bolt on the outside: Jed had
locked me In. I made sure of thla by
trying the door. It could not be
opened. Here was an astonishing sit
uation for a first night In a place. My
impulse was to make a noise and ask
for an explanation, hut on second
thought I did not. My room was on
the second floor, and I saw, looking
out of the window, that It would not
be Impossible to make a descent on
the outside In an emergency. I de
cided not to begin my stay with a pro
test against any habits of the house
or occurrences In It, In the night I
was awakened out of a sound sleep
with go Idea that I had been disturbed
by noises, but nothing I could hear
sustained It, and I went to sleep again.
I waa up early, dressed snd found
that my door had been unbolted. I
examined the outside of It for a bolt
and had difficulty In finding ooe. so
Ingeniously had It bem cuarealed. The
knob seemed a part of the decor*flow
of tho panel, and tke belt waa of tkln

tinued out Into the water to a heavily
buttressed fashlno. Only a good swim
mer could have rounded It and come
into the place. It looked like a care
fully but strangely designed protection.
In the dog kennels were mastiffs
nnd a number of Airedales. I said to
Jed that It seemed as If precautions
had been taken against a perceived
danger. He had been affable during
the day, but his face clouded instantly.
“The wall was here when Mr. Sid
ney bought the place, but we are In a
way Isolated,” he said shortly. “It is
reasonable to take precautions. It will
be a precaution for you not to go roam
ing the grounds at night. The dogs
are not friendly then.”
His surliness was easily passed over.
I was good humored and wished to
prove It «

I was apprehensive. My driver had
been. If not unupproachable. at least
stupid anil dismal.
It somewhat astonished me when
suddenly he began to talk. We were
then about a half mile from the house.
"I wish you had come an hour
earlier,” he said. X. .
“Why?" I asked. .
‘Tm not a coward," said the driver,
M —at least, no-more than usual, but I
don’t like to be In here alone, and
I’ve got to go home alone.”
In a fashion he expressed what
might have been my mood If I had
known more of the place. I could
sympathize with him. The rain had
done this for me.
"What have you to be afraid of?"
I asked. "Is something haunted
around here?” It seemed as If so
beautiful a spot ought to have this In
terest. He stopped hla horse.

"Are you going to stay here?** he
asked.
"I are supposed to," I said
"A dollar won't make you welcome,"
he said, and left me looking at tha

I was called to dinner and had It
alone In a large dining room. When
I had finished a maid told me that Mr.
Sidney would be glad to see me if It
were convenient for me—that he did
not need me professionally, but that
socially he would be delighted if I
could come to him.
He was sitting tn a large arm chair
In a great room with a great fire
place. Later I perceived the fascinat
ing details of the room, but Just then
Mr. Sidney had all my attention.
Dr. Brownell had told me of the re
markable will to live which I should
find. It was Instantly apparent. The
old man wax wonderfully alive. Ha
waa abrupt but smilingly and charm

I held myself la rradli»e«a to attend

waa ten o’clock before I waa sum

animated.
"We must arrive at a schedule," I
suggested. "This Is a little too late In
the day to satisfy Dr. Brownell’s Ideas
of what my duties are.”
“But, my dear doctor,” he said, “I
do not wake until nine. I need my
sleep.. I do not go to sleep until one.”
"I should advise earfy hours,” I said.
“Of course you would, but you must
remember that you are dealing with a
man, at the end of his life, trying to
make the most of It. I like to remain
awake late.”
“Then you must,” I said. “I shall
consider it settled to see you at ten."
“And, I hope, sometimes to sit up
with me until one. Do you like chess?”
