Th? Ghost of Lschrain Castle
Jl Thrilling Novel of Love, Intrigue, Tragedy and the Mystery of
a Famous Diamond
By MR8.C. N. WILLIAMSON,
Author of “Th’e Lightning Conductor,'
Etc* Etc,
CHAPTER XIII—Concluded.
With the fierce strength that only
desperation gives, the girl tore at the
hand which covered her mouth, and
regaining her liberty for a second's
space, uttered such a shriek as she
could not have given In a moment of
leae peril. It rang wildly through the
corridor, and waa terrible even In the
glrl'a own ears. It seemed to her that
11 might almost make a dead man turn
In hla grave to be called thus. But
would It wake John Kenrlth and Cap
tain Oxford ?
She could but pray that It might be
1, for the scream was stifled In the
midst by the hand which crushed her
face again, with an Iron grip under her
chin, and a pressure so savage over her
llpa that It seemed the blood must
spring through the delicate akin. Her
neck waa bent ao roughly that her mua-
cles were strained and her breath chok
ed back upon her lungs. A shower of
sparks seemed to rise and fall before
her eyes, smarting and raining tears
In the thick smoke. She struggled
again, but vainly, and In tpe agonising
struggle of body and mJnd against the
unseen, compelling force, lost breath
and cQnsclousness.
When she awAked, It seemed that she
waa lying on a bed—a bed at the same
time comfortable and familiar.
What had happened? Had she had
a horrible*dream? she masked herself.
There was the same pleasant, ming
ling fragrance of dried lavender and
old wood which she had smelled every
night when she had waked up In the
wonderful bed In the tower room. Often
she had told herself that these scents
would make her think of that room, no
matter where she might be, and how
many years might have passed. Only
last night she had thought that, not
knowing she was not to sleep In that
bed again.
But, she said In her mind, perhaps It
was part of the dream that she had
been changed to another room. Surely
she could pot mistake. No other bed
could be Just like that. And then If
she were not there, why should she he
In bed at all? What about the fire shin
ing behind tho closed door In the cor
ridor, her frantic knocklngs, her
scream, and the hand that had choked
away her breath? Had she really gone
thriajgh that fearful scone? Oh, she
could not doubt It. Perhaps, even at
this minute, Mr. Kenrlth and Cuptaln
Oxford were being burned to death.
Somehow she must save them.
She tried to sit up, but something
held her down. Her arms were crossed
behind her hack nnd tied together at
the wrist; she could feel where they
were bound. And her feet were bound
also. She was powerless to move, but
at least she could cry out.
Suddenly she remembered how near
the corridor of the burning room
os the tower. If the Are spread It
would reach the tower; and If In reality
she were lying on her old bed In the
tower room, It was only the question
little time before tho Are should
reach her, and she would be burned to
death.
Klspeth Dean was young anti strong,
the black depths or some hideous cubl
lette; but she rolled from the bed upon
a solid floor, covered with something
soft, like a thick nug. And the fall
was so slight that she was not even
Jarred.
For a few seconds there was com
plete stillness, and then something that
moved brushed against her cheek. She
believed that It was the bed being
rolled away again.
"Now I am to be murdered? perhaps,
was the thought that crept coldly Into
Elupeth'a mind; but she could do noth
ing to avert whatever fate might be In
store for her, except to cry out, and If
she did that) It would probably pre
cipitate her death.
It was by instinct rather than calcu
lation that she lay still, scarcely
breathing.
Voices whispered near her in the
darkness. She could neither recognize
the tones nor make out the words, but
she felt her fate was being discussed,
perhaps hanging In the balance.
"If only they would believe me faint
ing," she thought. "They will wonder
that I don't make a sound, and pres
ently they'll strike a light and look at
my face. 1 must lie wi^h my eyes shut
and hold my breath as long as I can."
Scarcely had she formed this plan of
action, when a stream of white light
fell upon her closed eyelids. With all
the force of her will she kept them
steady, her long lashes lying on her
cheeks without a flicker,
"FalntecL" came a whisper, louder
than before. •
"Can't be sure," murmured a second
voice. "She may be shamming.”
A moment later Elspeth felt the
pressure of a hand on her chest. "She
doesn't seem to breathe," was the
whispered copunent.
Well, then, let us leave her for the
present. She can't possibly escape." .
"She cun screen.”
"If she did, she wouldn’t be heard."
"Yet we are whispering."
"Loud voices might rouse the girl to
consciousness. It’s more convenient
that she should be as she Is. We've no
time to waste upon her now. Little
wretch! If she hadn't spoiled our game
down below with her yells, the Are
ould presently have saved us all
trouble. Our two birds would have
been killed with one stone.”
Too late to think of, that. There
must be no suspicion against us. We
had better go now. But I would feel
safer if I were certain she could make
no noise."
Simple enough to close her mouth.
You mean”—
Not what you think I do. We can't
afford to risk the smallest telltale stain
when we show ourselves downstairs
among the people who’ve boen roused
by the Are, and, besides, I've another
plan. The thing must be done before
morning, and in such a way that she
can be carried back to her bed and laid
there quietly, with no one to guess that
she met death by violence. A dose of
laudanum Is the thing; the bottle found
by her side. It will be thought that
she killed herself because she'd been
discharged."
You think of everything.”
I have had some experience; other
wise I shouldn’t be where l am.”
Can you get hold of the laudanum?"
Yes. I always keep plenty of stage
properties. There, I've made a gag of
a sort out of my handkerchief. A sec

Elspeth henril every word of this con-
was Intense" in her. and the cry on I J h^Vlomh'she
it. .vuv t„ h.r lit.. wn« rotirinrfui »von down her chin to open her mouth she
lay llitjp nnd motionless ns before, mak
ing no resistance. A great lump of cam
bric was forced between her teeth, and
still she feigned unconsciousness. Her
hearing seemed now almost abnormally
keen. She heard tho breathing of the
two men. She heard the soft sound of
footfalls on the thick rug of carpet,
nnd at last a faint click which seemed
to come from a distance. After that
all wus still, and she knew that she
had been left alone.
She had heard why the men woro go
ing. and It was reasonable to suppose
that they would be gone some time.
Still It could not be so very long, If she
were to bo disposed of "before morn
ing," nfter the fashion which had with
so much quiet grlmness been suggest
ed. They would need darkness to hide
the deed, If she were to be carried
through tho house and laid upon tho
bed In the new room whose number
they must already know.
It Is dllflcult to recognise a voice
from a whisper, and Elspeth could not
have guessed the Identity of either
speakor from the murmurs she had
heurd; nevsrtheless she waa sure that
she had guessed the name of one .man.
The other was still a mystery to her:
she had no Idea who he could be. But,
after all, It mattered little. Nothing,
Indeed, need mntter much to her now.
unless she could free herself and es-
cape.
To sxpect to do this seemed like ex
pecting to perform a miracle. And yet
Elspeth could not believe that she was
to die tonight. ltl u
For her there was but one ray of light
In darkness. She had hoard one of the
men say to the other that slu* had
"spoilt their game." That must mean,
the thought, that the alarm she hud
given had been heard; that John Ken-
rith and Captain Oxford had been
saved. And the idea that she had boen
able to do this gave her courage to at
tempt more. She did not know where
she was, but If she could only free her
self she could And out; nnd If, after
ward, she could escape, she would be
able to give at least one villain up to
justice.
••Oh, if I could only loosen these
band £ that hold my arms," she said to
hirself. "If I could do that, .all the rest
mid be easy, perhaps.
Klspeth Dean was a lithe !lnd supple
well as a slender creature, with all
the elasticity of youth and health,
a child she had boen able to do all sorts
of wonderful things with her lively lit
tle body, und she and her brotner, two
or three years older than herself, had
often played a glorious play in which
they were contortionists In a nursery
circus. It was many years since the
£rl had practiced any of the feats for
which she hid been famous among her
little companions, and Indeed, she had
forgotten all about Hem until this mo
tnent.
Now, however, she suddenly remem
Ik rod how well. In the old days, her
body hud been ac-ustomed to obey her
will. And In the desperate danger
which threatened her she called up her
ancient skill to her old. So did she
writhe and twist her slim arms and
shoulders as to loosen the bonds made
to hold less supple muscles. Presently
she felt a slight relaxing of the bands
which held her wrists. Slowly, slowly,
grudging each moment, she twisted one
hand out of bondage, the fiftieth part
of an inch at a time. Then suddenly it
was free, nnd she could have sobbed
In Joy and thanksgiving, though she
as far from being out of danger.
With one hand nt liberty. It was but
the work of a few seconds to tear the
gag from her mouth, and to release the
other hand. Then she sat qp, and un
wound a long, narrow strip of wooly
material which felt like knitted work,
from her ankles. She was free to move,
free to escape—If she could but And a
way.
Tremulously, tottering a little at flrst,
she scrambled to her feet, and for the
flrst time since .she had rolled from the
moving bed seriously asked herself
where she was.
Gropingly, she tried to And a wall,
stumbling on, catching her foot in the
wrinkled folds of a rug, and saving
herself from a fall by seizing an edge
of some hanging drapery. Thus she
steadied herself, and found behind that
drapery the wall for which she had
searched. Her hand touched a surface
of wood, and passing her Angers along
it, she discovered that it ended as i
door might end, in a framing of stone.
"The tower wall!" she said to her
self; and remembered how the head of
the strange old carved bed In the al
cove had seemed to be set In the wall.
'•That was thfe secret of it,” she
thought. "It was made for a murder
trap in the old, old days when people
used often to get rid of their guests
In the night, and no one outside ever,
ever knew what had become of them.”
The girl stood still for a moment, viv
idly recalling the sounds whlch^fcad
robbed her of rest, as she lay In that
curious, carved bed in the alcove of
the tower room. If she were right in
her guess, sho must be now In some
secret passage Just behind the wall;
and If the footsteps she had heard
there were made by human beings, not
ghosts, those human beings must have
found their way in through some hidden
entrance.
Elspeth would have given anything
now for a match, even a single match;
but It was useless to wish, and she be
gan to feel along the surface of wood
for something like a spring. She could
discover nothing, and, giving up hope
at last, she groped farther on, until to
her delight she came upon a steep, nar
row stairway. It also was covered
with some thick, soft material, as If to
deaden the sound of footsteps, but here
and there a board creaked; and tho
girl fancied that the noise was like
some she had heard, lying In bed. In
the tower room.
The stairway was so exceedingly
steep as to resemble a ladder, and the
girl counted thirty steps before she
reached the top. Above was a floor of
wood, which she tested with her hand
before trusting her feet upon it.
She imagined now that she must be
In the rbom above the one she hud oc
cupied In the tower; and as she had
been told that it was in a ruinous con
dition, she stepped carefully, but she
found no sign of loose debris as she
moved cautiously along, literally inch
by inch, nnd it occurred to her that the
stairway she had seen bricked up had
probably been made a no-thorough tare
tor some other reason than tho one be
lieved by Mrs. Warden, the house
keeper.
There was no time to speculate upon
that now, but Elspeth could not help
recalling the night when the blood-red
drops had rained through the cracks
between the oak rafters In her room.
Now she was In the abode of mystery,
yet she could guess as little at the ex
planation as on that night when she
started at the fuillng rubles as though
unable to believe her eyes.
As sho moved slowly along she
stretched out her arms, trying to touch
the wall, as she had before, when sud
denly she tumbled over something
which lay at her feet—something soft
and heavy, over which she would have
fallen If she had not recovered her bal
ance with a quick backward step.
In the excitement of discovery and
progress Klspeth had almost forgotten
her fear, but now it returned upon her,
like a cold, overwhelming wave.
What was this sbft, heavy bundle on
the floor of the hidden room In the
tower? She hardly dared stoop
touch it with her hand, which grew ice
cold with fear of the coming contact.
Though every moment was of the ut
most Importance now, and life or death
might He, for her, in the difference of
a second, she bent down with slow re
luctance. Her groping fingers touched
something smooth and silky, like” a
woman's hair, and her Impulse w
spring up with a shriek. But she
forced the cry back, and Instead of
drawing away her hand sho passed it
over the silky surface once again.
There was no doubt this time. She
was touching a woman’s hair, hair
elaborately dressed In thick waves and
coils. Still compelling herself to do a
thing against which her flesh and blood
rebelled, she touched a face so cold
that It might have been carved
stone; then, when her trembling An
gers had outlined the features, wan
dered to a marble throat and motion
less breast, clothed In silk, she yielded
at last to her Impulse and shrunk back,
sick with horror of the thing she had
found In the darkness.
Who was It who lay there, dead
Who was the perpetrator, who the vie
tim, of this crime—since crime it must
surely be? Klspeth could not guess;
neither nerves nor brain were in a con
dition to make guesses, and her one
thought waa now to escape from this
horrible place—wherever it might be.
She groped for the opening at the
head of the stairs, and found it again,
risking a fall by almost running down
the steep steps; and thankful a* she
