No reason was given for his opposition and David's attitude was quite as much of a puz zle. Ho talked 'of some shadow In his past, and was on the point of telling Una what If was. But she stopped him. Their love, she said, had to dcr with the present, the future; It had nothing to do with the past. Nevertheless, she wished Daid had set himself right with Lelghton. "WI15- didn't you answer Uncle Harold?" she asked. At first he avoided her glance, snapping his riding-whip nerously among the wither ed sunflower stalks. Then ho turned to her. "I don't know," he said. "You knew ho was wrong " "In a way yes. And then. I wondered If, after all, he was ,rlghtr As I said, I can't explain It to myself. You stopped my speaking to you about It. And yet, do you know, after talking with our uncle, I con vinced myself I thought I convinced myself that I was tuiworthy of you. that our marriage would be wiong." "Don't say that!" sho exclaimed, angrily. "Unless your love for me has changed, It is the one right thing in the world as mine 11 for you." "Beloed! Let It be so." he said, his dark mood vanishing. "Let the first day of our new life be the first day of our past. Do you remember that first day? Coming down the river we spoke hardly a word. You laughed at me, called me lazy, the boat slipped along so slowly. And you were right ! Watching you I forgot tho stupid business of rowing. Xeer before were you so beautiful but now you are a million times more beautiful ! How I wanted to kiss you l If I had dared kiss Just n bit of your dicss. anything blessed by touching you ! But I didn't not then ! How It all happened after ward, when we landed at our island. Is the mystery or, rather, the most natural thing in the world. I was tongue-tied as ever. Not a word In the language was In reach of me at least, I couldn't think of one. Natu rally, the dictionary men left out our words they didn't know you. And yet we under stood ! Did the birds tell us, 1 wonder, or was It written on the trees, or whispered In the golden air? Love talks without words. But now " he broke off abrupty "now I must answer Uncle Harold." "Why?" "I wish I could talk It over with Raoul," he went on, not heeding me question. "Why with Raoul?" "You don't know Raoul." "Tell me about him." ' "He understands me, that's all. We have been together a lot. But what's the use of thinking of hlni 1 He's In India, probably or, maybe. Bogota yes. It must be Bogota and will stay there for years." "You are fond of him?" "No ! 1 can't Imagine any one being fond of him. He fascinates you. He's queer. He is my age, yet his hair Is white even his eyebrows and his eyelashes are white. Fancy a young man with white eyelashes ! There's not a hint of color In his face. And his eyes you can't tell what they are ; neither can you avoid them when they stop twitch ing and fix themselves on you. Did you ever see a human being Jump out at you from a pair of eyes? It sounds foollth : butt then, you've never seen Raoul! Love leaps out of your eyes and all the beauty of trees and rivers. Ood made your eyes and put you In them Just to help people. It was the devil who made Raoul's eyes." They lingered at the far corner of the ter raced garden where a low hedge of box over looked a deep, silent grove of balsams. Be yond, at.one side, the gray hills of fr:jne lelgh, tire square tower bearing aloft a single ray of light, rose Indistinctly against a back ground bf firs. The familiar scene, softened by the twilight, dispelled their first feeling of uneasiness. Everything had changed. Once more the world was brightened by their love. The touch of Una's hand, the fragranco of lier hair, the Joy of her quherlng lips, were, for David, the only things that mat tered. Since their first meeting, a year ago on the Derwentwater, In England, love had grown with these two. On the night before that meeting David had reached Keswick, where Una was staying. .Sklddaw and Helvellyn. when first he saw those fam&us peaks, were dimly outlined behind the evening mists. Next morning the sky was cloudless, and although David was familiar with the scenery of Alps. Andes and Himalaya, the charm of this English landscape touched him deeply. The peace ful lake, surrounded by steep hills of living green, and holding on Its breast thickly wood ed Islands, stirred a new longing within him. These hills. It Is true, were not comparable in height or sweeping contour to the majestlo altlitidea of Southern Asia or, Western South America. Neither was the Derwentwater equal, In certain scenic effects, to similar bodies of water that had won his admira tion in distant countries. Here, nevertheless. Nature was revealed In her loveliest moods and David yielded himself delightedly to her gracious Influence, As he floated dreamily In his skiff on the Derwenttvater. the dip of his oars made the only visible ripple on the glassy surface, of the lake, while the rugged outlines of the hills, drenched In sunlight, seemed to weave a fairy circle Into which the world of ordi nary experience, might not enter. The scen,e reacted Inevitably on his own emotions. For 'the first time In many months a feeling of complete reatfulnesa possessed him. a, mood ripe for. arMkm , Wid U that haiy kind of pBiU.lo JHWMy't rlp tf fe-ma., PHILADELPHIA, , TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, Islands whose sylvan shadows lengthened' oer the water's sunny surface. The hollow echo from oar and rowlock, the grating of prow on pebbled beach, broke the silence that had surrounded him ever since he left tho little wharf at Keswick The lightest of sum mer breezes stirred the topmost branches above him. Invitation was In tho air, rest beneath the trees. This was surely tho morn ing of the world, and he was tho discoverer of this nameless island Strange that It should bo here, unmarred, untouched, un known, In populous England! There was welcome in tho ciarkle of twigs bemath'hls feet; a responslc thrill fiom the green moss upon which ho thiew himself. As he tried to catch the blue of the sky be yond the moving canopy of green, ho Idly wondered whether he was the first to pierce the Island's solitude, whether Its secret had been kept for him. Remaps It was in answer to his unuttered queiy that the stillness was suddenly broken by the faintest echo of silvery laughter. Ho listened in surprise, for the Island was far too small, ho Imagined, to' screen cither house or camp from the view of any one approach ing It, and before ho left his boat he had satisfied himself that no other summer Idler was here before him. Xuertheless, there was that tantalizing laughter,' coming from a portion of the island opposite the beach on which he had landed and theie was the shattering of his day-dreams. He parted the low-lying branches of some bushes growing between him ard tho shore, but could see nothing save the clear ex panse of lake upon which there was neither sail nor rowboat. He pel eel veil, however, judging by the dlstanco of the wnter below him, that tho shore of the island must here become a dlmlr.utio cliff, in the shelter of which, doubtless, was the being whose laughter he scarcely knew whether to wel come or shun. The fairy-like spot obviously had some pros.alc owner who was there to enjoy what was his or hers. The laughter was unmistakably a woman's. DaId ro"o hastily from his retreat beneath the trees, uncertain whether to apologize for his intrusion or to slip away unpercehed. After all. the laughter chimed In pleasantly enough with his roving fancies. Thero had been wood nymphs before, If one can believe the old romancers, who sang the carefiee Joys of the glens they Inhabited and per haps tills was a wood nymph. His curiosity aroused, Dald peered again through tho branches. This time he saw her. Sho waa not a wood njmph of old mythol ogy, but an Incarnation of the spirit of youth that all morning pursued him. She was clad In the simplest of sailor suits, the blouse of gray silk1, opening loosely about her delicately molded throat and neck, her hair rtraylng In tawny ringlets oer her shoulders and reaching down to the book which she held in her lap, At her side sat an old man of stal wart frame, white-haired, with tho stiongly lined face and sharpened features typical of tho student. A wide-brimmed Quaker hat lying at his feet emphasized his freedom from the conventionalities of dress, and was In strict keeping with his long black coat and voluminous trousers. They were reading a boon together, a book that had evidently provoked the disturb ing laughter and brought a grim look of amusement to the old man's face. The nolso made by Daniel, howetor, broke up their pleasant occupation. The girl turned her head, gazing curiously at the spot whence came the sound of rustling leaves. What she sow stirred her as nothing ever had before. Her glance met David's, and to both of them It seemed as If all their lles they had been waiting for the revelation of that moment. Her pulse quickened ; her check paled, then grew rosy red ; her gray eyes dilated with mingled alarm and pleasure. Tho sudden, deep Impression was dashed by a singular Interruption. The girl's com panion, his back half turned to David, his face still expressive of amusement, and look ing straight before him at tho ripple of water kissing the pebbles at his feet, spoke In a loud, harsh voice: "Una," ho said, "remember the schoolmas ter! This man's world Is not ours. What does he know of Rysdale7" She looked down confusedly, aware that her uncles for It was Howard Lelghton without seeing this stranger who had to quickly aroused her Interest, spoke as if he knew wno ne was anu an about him. When she looked again Daid was gone. Between that first meeting and this eve ning, a year after, when they stood together in Una's garden at'Stonelelgh, they had lived through much of love's first golden record. Their experiences had not always been cloud less. Howard Lelghton, it Is true, did not ac. ttvely oppose their marjlage, but he had borne himself In a manner that showed, at times, either a singular Indifference or a covert mistrust of the man who was so soon to take from him his brother's only daughter. It might be from Jealousy, it might be from a perfectly natural feeling of caution ; at any rate, he never discussed their plana with them, he never explained his attitude toward them. Never again did he allude to the schoolmaster, nor account for the strango words he had used on the llttlo island In Derwentwater. For the most part he watched their court ship with a sort of whimsical curiosity, but always withholding his assent from the marriage to which they looked forward. Una was Indignant at his final attempt to separ rate them. Ills suspicions and David's qulxot'c manner of meeting them Increased Her faith In her lover. Neer before hud she been to perfectly happy as she was this evening with him. In the garden's autumnal silence. "It will soon be forever," she whispered, "Yo.i are not'afrula?" 1 "" U were powlple for our loye to die. If (t vere.aa ;"rtJ.lX a tho, cunfloweni. it ue If li were powltrie for our love to die. would be afraid. Tell me that no one has tho power, David." Ho held her from him for a space, his ees searching hers. "You alone have the power, Una," he slid. From a slowly moving figure amid the bushes behind them came an uncompromis ing question; "Dald, ou havo told her?" The dusky outline, the large Quaker hat, tho wide-skirted coat catching occasionally among the dry twigs and branches, revealed Harold Le'ghlon He stood In the center of the pathwny, his gray eyes fixed upon them, awaiting an answer. "David has. told me." said Una firmly "You have told her?" he repeated. "I June told her that I loved her," he answered. "Is that nit?" "1 told her that I am unwoithy of hoi." "Why nre you unworthy of her?" "You speak as If you knew bomethlng against me," said David. Then added fierce ly, "Tell Itl" ., With an odd smile on his face the old man looked nt Una. "He says he Is unuortliy of ou you arc free," ho sold. "Una, how do you chouse"" She bow'ed her head before her lover. "David, I love jou," she said The old man turned toward the house "David, I see your horse Is tame ; you ha e ridden him to death," he said dryly "You had better spend the night nt Stonelelgh ' CHAPTER III A Chapter on Giojfs STRANGE thing happened that night at Stonelelgh. Tor the first time In tho annals of the younger Rysdale generation, the great bare rcMin at the top of the hou, adjoining liar old I.elghton's laboratory, had i guest. In th" dayp of tho St. Maur Brothcihood tho monks used this room as nn onitiuy. The shadowy line of a crucifix, which had oire risen above nn unpretentious altar, could still be traced In the rough plaster on the narrow east wall. At cither side of this crucifix the blackened marks of hvgune sconces were visible, while In tho north and south wolls of the apartment there still re mained a number of huge spikes, rusty with ago and swathed In cobwebs, from which had hung the fourteen stations of the Cross. Since the departure of the monks this ora tory had been virtually abandoned by their successors at Stonelelgh. The earlier mem bers of the Lelghton family had shared the dislike of their fellow townsmen for miv thing approaching "paplstiy" To this prejudice, r.s it affected the use of tho oratory, w.is afterward added the belief That the gloomy chamber was still frequented by certain ghostly members ciMthe ancient brctheihood into whose spectra wmngs it was Just as well not 10 piy too cioseiy. a mo. monii was nnu enough, according to s(ne of Harold Leigh ton's ancestors, but a dead monk who "haunted" was too disreputable altogether to have an thing to do with Hence, as there was more 100m at Stonelelgh than i-ould prof itably bo used, it was thought best to close up this ancient oratory, leaving it to such grim v Isitants from the past as might choos it for 11 meeting place. There had been seasons, how ever, when dust and cobwebs were sufficiently disturbed to bring some semblance of cheer Into the desolato apartment. Thus, the festivities accompanying the marriage of Una's grand parents had reached their climax here In a ball at which the local worthies mingled with a number of excellent persons from that out side world nf fashion vaguely known as "the city." Xo spectral guest, tonsured or other wise, appeared on this occasion, and when the revels were ended the legend that Stone lelgh 's oratory was haunted no longer com manded the respect, or even the interest, of the credulous. That was morn than half a century ago; and now David Meudon was the guest of this neglected chamber. He was In joous mood. A man moro tenacious ot impressions could not have thiown off to easily the Irritation caused by tho meeting with Harold Lelghton in the garden. The elder man's suspicions would have poisoned whatever possibility there might be of immediate enjejment. The presence .of Una, however, her unqualified acceptance of him, her uncle's huddcnly changed attitude, effectually dulled David's resentment. Lelghton had agreed, appnient ly, to the plan for an early wedding, and had even proposed that the married couple should live at Stonelelgh. In spite of Dav Id's great wealth, neither lie nor his Immediate ancestors had been iden tified with a locality peculiarly their own; they had never had 11 family home. With Una, on the contrary, thp last of the Leigh tons, tho ancestral tie that roots Itself under some particular hearthstone 'was especially strong. She was pleabed, therefore, with the offer that promised to make Stqneielgh hers and so. In the main, was David. He liked tho old house; Its history ap pealed to his Imagination. He stood some what In awe, It Is true, of Its present owner, and the prospect of living with him did not promlso unalloyed happiness. Hue there was something about Harold Lelghton, a sug gestion of mystery, that went well with th's ancient place, nnd completely satisfied David. Ho laughed at the Stonelelgh traditions, but when Lelghton proposed spending the evening In the oratory he gladly asseqted David had never been In this part of the house, al though he had often wanted to explore its possible mysteries. The opportunity to do this had not como until now. "Yes, there are ghosts here," Harold Lelgh ton replied to the oung man's Jesting query as he, David and Una entered the great bare room together. "Then you believe In ghosts?" "Of course, Uncle Harold believes In them," exclaimed Una. "I believe in them, and so do you." "That depends. Show me one and 1 might." "Well." commented Lelghton, ":his Is the ghost room, and here we are. Perhaps your skepticism will find something to try Its teeth on. In honor of St. Maur we ought to have a demonstration." "Splendid!" laughed David. "But you don't mean it. People never mean w hat they say when they talk approvingly of ghosts. You are known for a skeptic yourself, Mr. Lelghton, You accept nothing that has not passed muster with science." "There may be a science of ghosts." re torted the Favant. "Science Is 'not limited to any department of human knowledge. A scientific theory Is based on a collection of facts How do you know I ha)e not made a collection of ghost facts?'" "And so havo a new theory of ghosts to offer !" "You don't really think those old monks como back, uncle?" objected Una "Oh, I'm not going to tell the sticrcts ot my laboratory so easily and to such a pair of tyros," was the evasive, answer. They stood before the great fireplace which a thrifty ancestor had built into the east wall, and enjoyed to the full the warmth that had not as jet reached the remote spaces of the gloomy chamber. It needed if fire to bring some show of comfort to this wilderness of dust and cobwebs. A few pieces of Colonial furniture stood out In the melancholy wastes a faded lounge, a gar gantuan dresser, several stiff-backed chairs still nursing their purltanlsm, At tho far end of the room various objects of a de cidedly modern appearance, suggesting the workshop of a physicist, aroused David's curiosity. F-or an explanation of these he turned to Lelghton. "Is this your laboratory?" he asked. "What do you think of it 7" was the leply. "Plenty of space, Isn't there? A man could have a score of ghosts here ghosts of monks, you know nosing about for their comfortable old quarters." "Not so very comfortable In their day, uncle," suggested Una ; "nor In ours, for that matter." Lelghton chuckled grimly. "Are you In terested In ghosts, David?" he asked, look ing keenly at him, "What do you mean by ghosts?" "Ah, that's It! This old room are there ghosts In It, I wonder? The nail marks In the walls, the stains where the lights' were hung, the shadowy remains of the altar can )cru shake off the feeling that the broth erhood Is btlll at prayers here, that It still has Stonelelgh for Its home?" "The brotherhood no longer existB." "There's a family tradition, anyway, that (Ireut demand for the KVKNINO I'UIII.IO LKDUKIl ma) rnuan ou to mlmi an Imtail incnt of this very Interratlnf trr.

A very great aunt of mine, for lnstnncc, once ventured alone Into this room ond was met by a stalwart be ing who scowled at her from under his brown hood and waved her majestically out of his presence." "That's the kind of ghost one likes to hear about nnd see." commented David, "It didn't please my aunt particularly. The fright prostrated her for months. Other Imaginative ancestors have heard the monks (hunting together, and seen spectral lights moving about here at midnight." "You epeak as If ou believed It all" "I can't bojjefrauded of my family tradi tions" "How queer It Is!" exclaimed Una. who had been wandering about the room nnd now lejolned Harold ond David before the fire place. "I like It, even If It Is dirty. Why have jou broken your rule and brought us heie, uncle? And why do you talk as If vou believed In tho Stonelelgh ghosts? You know jou don't " "Ghosts!" -he ejaculated "I have been making some experiments recently I thought j-ou might be Interested In them" "Experiments In ghosts," ruminated David, who believed Lelghton capable of nnvthlng. "Ves," said the old man, enjoying his bt'Wlldeimcnt "My ghosts may be different from those jou have In mind If you have followed the recent developments in psy chology vou piobahly know that there are ghosts' attached to the living, whatever the i-ase may bo In regard to the dead." "No. I never heard that. "Not In those words 'Olipsts' Is not a term used by the scltntlt. It Involves n medieval superstition. But I am lntetested In tilings moro than In words, and I am not afraid tn say that wp have been rediscov ering ghosts" vUncle, don't talk enigmas or nonsense, remonstrated Una "I confiss, sir, I don't follow j-ou," added David "Did jou ever feel that you had lost your self?" asked Lelghton abruptly "I don't understand" "If vou forget a thing, vou lose iust that much of j-ouiself, don't jou?

Here, however, she was being cairled dangling along, at the end of Xlght Heron's long hill, for nil the world like pictures she had seen of a teeny weeny bain- being borne hv a Stork. She found It a ticklish way to travel, What If her pajamas should give way where Night Heron gripped them? What If he should happen to sneeze-' But her pijamas proved stout nnd Xlght Heron did not sneeze. He can led her safely over tho lake and Into a dark, dismal looking swamp. Deep, deep into the morass he flew so far that she felt she could never find her waj out unaided. And she -couldn't get out without Ilyirg, for there appeared to be scarcely any solid footing, just water und mud and sink holes. Flushes of lightning from th appruuiiilng She louinl it a luklUli way to travel stoim and occasional moonbeams coming througli the trees revealed patches of fan tastic beauty in the swamp, but it was beauty which Peggy was jln no mood to enjoj.

Xlght Heion shivered and How forward faster than ever. Soon he camo to an .Island In the swamp, upon which lie alighted.

In the center of the den flickered a ghostly blue flame. By Its pale light, Peggy made out a fantastic creature squatting on a heap of sticks and matted plants. The creature was sullenly glowering at her. This was the Witch of tho Night. (In the next chapter Pegov hraves the u-rath of the WUch of the Night.)
