It was through the children I first liecamc
acquainted with Mr. Van Decker maim. They
were pretty little tots then, the two of them,
and had such friendly ways with them that
it would not have surprised any one, I
imagine, that they should uttract where their
elder:.' seemed rather to repel; but my wife
and I were nevertheless conscious of a fer-
tain feeling of triumph when wo first saw
them in animated conversation with the
funny old gentleman, about whom people-
knew so little and speculated so much.
Wo were living at that time in a small
house in one of those old fashioned suburbs,
whence the city is easiest of access, even the
onrnibuggfcuv...$*» and. im being a matter of
consideration- tois.-ttnd we knew as little of
our neighbors as most people even in London.
We were - very happy, all the same,
being fully occupied—I on the city tread¬
mill which I am working still, with this dif¬
ference, that I am better paid for it—Mary
looking after the house and Children, and
keeping both after such a fashion that in our
poorest days it was a pride and it pleasure to
come homo to them.
“You are the luckiest man I knotv,’’ Mr.
Van Deckcrmunn said to me once—“or have
known,” ho said, correcting himself. “To
say whom I know would not be to say much,”
which, indeed, judging from our observa¬
tion, was true enough.
Nobody scorned t > know him to speak to,
but everybody in the neighborhood must
have known him by sight, for he was to bo
seen daily, summer and winter, taking the
same monotonous walk, and dressed in the
same odd fashion, in a brown coat cut in the
style of at least fifty years before, with brass
buttons, and a wide brimmed hat, beneath
which ho woro the most transparent impost¬
ure, in the shape of a wig with which I iio ve
ever come in contact. It was in great measure
tho contrast between this, which was of a
somewhat lively brown, and tho iron gray of
his bushy eyebrows which conduced to tho
Oddity of his appearance. His eyes were tho
only striking feature in his face, being dark,
prominent aud piercing, and the skin was a
network of wrinkles on parchment, hut no
one who had seen his countenance light up as
I saw it that Sunday eveiifug, at the innocent
prattle of tho children, would have received
other thou a pleasant impression of the little
old man.
We had come upon the trio rather sud¬
denly, Mary and I„ and had the reluctance
to speak upon either side been over so strong,
it must iu common courtesy have been over¬
come. We exchanged greetings accordingly,
and from that day forth tho acquaint¬
ance thus inaugurated ripened steadily
into an intimacy, in the course
of which I arrived at these primary facts
concerning Mr. Van Deckennann. He was,
as his name indicated, of Dutch extraction,
he had no occupation, and he lived, and had
lived for years, iu a house which would have
contained three of mine, in the most expen¬
sive situation thereabouts. What he wanted,
or over had wanted, being a bachelor, with
a residence of such dimensions it would not
have been easy to determine—tho less so that
ho saw no company, and that the establish¬
ment was restricted to two old servants-
like himself English by birth and breeding,
but of foreign origin—with a sort of “slavey,”
upon whom doubtless devolved the giant’s
share of such work as there was to do, under
them.
“lea are the luckiest man 1 hnotc, ’
We came little by little, as I have already
intimated, to sec a good deal of him; mora
in the summer, however, than iu the winter,
when I was glad enough to stay at home in
the evenings, when I got there, and he felt
naturally, at his age, equally indisposed to
turn out. But in the long, light days ho was
fond of dropping in on iis after dinner, aud
if we should sometimes have preferred being
to ourselves we were careful never to show it.
We were flattered by tho fancy he seemed to
have taken to us, and sorry for his loneliness,
and I do not pretend but that we appreciated
the fact that he might, if he would, be a good
friend to us.
It was in tho eourso of the second summer
of our acquaintance that one Sunday even¬
ing after church ve came up with him lean¬
ing over the palings of au old fashioned
bouse, at some distance from our own.
It stood back in its own grounds a
good distance from tho road, and such
glimpses of the building itself as were to be
obtained through the screen interposed by
the trees’and shrubs in front of it, gave one
the idea of a sufficiently gloomy exterior.
We had remarked upon its dismal and unoc¬
cupied appearance more than once, and won-
dered, seeing hew long it remained appar¬
ently uutenanted, at the absence of any indi¬
cation that it was to be either sold or let, but
we were not prepared for Mr. Van Dcoker-
mann’s first words.
“You have brought mo back to the pres¬
ent,’ no replied. “I had gone back further
than you could go, either of you. That was
my father's house; the hodse in which I was
born and bred._ pitching It remained os positively he left it,
with such up as has been
necessary, ever since he died.”
“But not-empty, as it is now* Somebody
has lived in it since then, surely?” my wife
said timidly.
“Tho old couple who take care of it, no¬
body else,” be replied, as we walked away
from it. “Every! Kxly has a craze of some
sort, they say, Mrs. Thurnell, aud that is
mine. You have heard of certain rooms in a
bouse being kept sacred to tbe memory of
certain people? Why should not I go a little
further and keep the whole house so, when I
am about it'f
The sharp tone and the laugh thqt accom¬
panied it grated on the ears of us both, and
my wife’s hand pressed my arm a little ner¬
vously as she answered:
“Certainly, you have a right to do what
yon like with your own. If yon did not care
to live in it yourself-
He turned round upon her before she had
time to finish the sentence, striking the
ground with his stick as though he would
have driven it into it to emphasize his words,
setto voice, which bore evidence to his ex¬
citement.
“Live in it myself— I—after ali that bad
'iff. irt y 'yg; • ", -y
Happened m iu i woum inner nave oeggeo
my bread on" the road* — rather — Good
heavens! what would f not rather? Bat
there, I beg your pardon,” lie added, cooling
down. “I can’t expect you to undet-sUmd,
bow should yon? If you Lad spent theretbe
most miserable boyhood, barring one thing,
that ever man had to look back to, you
would hateftt as I do.”
“And yet you don’t got rid of it alto¬
gether t” I interposed at this juncture. “Why
not pull it down and sell the faux) for build-
lag upon? You would make a good thing
tiiOT- -.
“Why hot? Because I am a tool, l sop-
pose,” he returned curtly. “Because, if there
arc many memories for which I hate it, there
wm a few for which I love it. What was it 1
saw in your little maids, do you suppose, but
a likeness to another little maid, dead and
buried long ago—the only bit of sunshine
that ever strayed within those four walls, the
only creature that loved me, or that (had to
love. She was my cousin, and she was an
orphan. How she came to be left to my
father's care I never clearly understood, but
sho came to us before I could remember, and!
she was more to him than ever I was. There
V" tpo good a reason that ho should not care
much for me. He had not been fortunate in
his marriage, and it had soured him, but he
must have been hard and cruel to begin with,
or he could never have done by his own flesh
aud blood as he did by mo. I was not good
at my books, what cleverness I had lay in an¬ i
other direction, and, unhappily for me,
went to a day school, so that my father's eye
was never off me, and he took it upon him¬
self to sec that I did the task that was set me.
There was ho kind of punishment -be dia
resort to. I was flogged, starved, imprisoned
by turns. It was as though he thought
ho was wreaking his vengeance upon
my mother through me. The only
way in which Alice got into trouble was by
espousing my quarrels—the only way, heaven
help her sweet soul!—from first to last!”
He paused for a moment, his voice husky
with emotion,.and Mary laid her hand gently
on his arm.
“Another time, Mr. Van Deckermann, tell
ns another time,” sho said in her soft voice.
“I should like you to know,” he replied, un¬
steadily, “and I should never bring myself to
speak of it again. By the time I was 16 I had
come to the end of my patience. My father
was fast becoming as miserly as he was cruel,
aud I could see plainly if I were to wait for
him to give me a start in Ufe I might wait
for ever. I knew that our name was well
known at the Cape, and I trusted to its be¬
ing a passport there of which, in conjunction
with the business faculty I was conscious of
in myself, I might make use to my advant¬
age. I resolved to work my way out, and as
soon as I had made enough to keep a wife, to
come back for my cousin. It was at the gate
at which you fifand me standing just now I
said good-by to her.
“I had been away nine years before I saw
my way to making a home for her. For fhe
greater part of the time it had been such
hard work that but for the few pounds sho
managed somehow—I often feared by going
in rags or something approaching to it her¬
self—to send riu) now and then I must have
starved'outright. But at the end of themine
years I was able to write to her and Say I
would come for her. She wrote me in reply
that my father was very feeble, that sho had
owed him a home all her life, and that we
should wait until I could come homo for
good. It was a great blow to a man who
had already served for her so long, and was
thirsting for tho sight of her, but it was as if
I had no will of my own where sho was con¬
cerned. I stayed on where I was and set my
shoulder to the wheel harder than ever for
another three years. The Cape owed me
nothing; then at last I turned my back on
her. I had gone out a beggar, I came home
with a handsome independence. And what
was it, think you, I came home to? I had
toiled and slaved and denied myself all these
years for what? Merciful heavens! for
what?’’
Ho stopped suddenly in tho road, aud
wrung his hands, with an expression upon
his face which haunts me to this day when I
am troubled aud out of spirits. The same
thought occurred at the same moment to my
wife and myself. For some reason—possibly
with little, if any, blame attaching to her¬
self—his old love had bqen false to him. So
completely, as we found, when we came to
compare notes afterward, had this idea taken
possession of both our minds, that his next
words took us quite by surprise.
“You don’t ask me how I found her?” he
said in a harsh voice. “You don’t ask me
whether she was waiting to meet me where I
had left her—where yon found me just now.
You don’t picture her as I had pictured her
to myself hundreds and hundreds of times,
with tiie sea rolling between us; with’ her
arms round my neck, and her lips pressed to
mine, and the welcome I had been waiting
for so long looking out of every feature of
her sweet face. But you can fancy what it
was to me to look for her like that, and think
of her like tl&t, and then to find her, ns I
found her—dead and busied!”
His voice aank to a whisper in the utter¬
ance of those last words, aud except for a
murmur of surprise and sympathy, which
seemed all to which we found ourselves
equal, wo went our way for the next
few minutes in silence. Whether he
would have told us more had we
questioned him, I cannot pretend to aay,
but I have often since regretted what was
possibly a lost opportunity. He may never
have meant us to be any wiser, but, on the
other hand, if he did mean that, and was
checked by a reticence, which sprang rather
from too mnch feeling than too little, how
much might have been spared both him and
us! The inclination, supposing it ever to
have existed, had ceased to animate him be.
fore he spoke again,
“You can understand now,” he said, with
a resumption of his ordinary manner, which
was so rapid as to be remarkable, “why tho
very walls of that old house are at once
sacred and abhorrent, dear and hateful to
me. I con neither make up my mind to Id
other people live in It nor to let It go to rack
and ruin, and I would not live in it myself if
there were not another roof in the wide
world for mo to shelter under. But there, it
is all over and done with, and we will find
somothiug pleasanter to talk abont.”
It was about midsummer, to the best of my
recollection, this little conversation took
place, and not long afterward oar house, of
which we had only the half yearly tenancy,
was sold over our heads—a circumstance
which would have concerned us very little,
had not the new owner required it for his
own occupation. Conceive my astonish¬
ment when, under these circumstances, Mr.
Van Deckermann offered me the long unin¬
habited Cedars! I say advisedly offered me,
for the proposition was only submitted to my
wife after it bad been talked over at consid¬
erable length between ns.
The fact was, Mr. Van Deckermann frankly
admitted, tiie house daring its years of dis¬
use had acquired a bad name, and though be
believed me to have no more belief in the su¬
pernatural than he had himself, be bad no
wish to withhold from me the knowledge of
what would, it must be confessed, from the
vulgar point of view, constitute a drawback
to the very substantial kindness he talked of
conferring upon me.
“You are welcome to the house,” he said,
from top to bottom. It shall not cost you a
ncunv piece so long a* t live.'and when I am
dead and gone you will be your own land¬
lord, but 1 am not going to saddle you with
it under any false pretenses. The people who
take care of it say it is haunted. It is to tbeir
interest to keep others out of it, and they
have contrived -to live there themselves a
good many years in spite of it; but you may
take what they say for whatever you think
it is worth. I am not afraid of you, bat
women are weak upon these points, and there
is your wife to consider.”
I was obliged to confess thn* nr- wife was
not in this respect superior to t: .- cat of her
sex She might face a bar, i— -she would
certainly not wittingly run the risk of col¬
lision with a ghost.
“I suspected as much,” he said equably,
“and that is why I thought it better to in¬
troduce the subject in her absent '. I should
be sorry for her to stand in her o > .»light and
in yours, if it can be helped, and .bechances
are she would. Now my own belief with re¬
gard to the Cedars is that there has been
some sort of knavery carried on there for
years, and my object is to get at the bottom
ot it and to do you a good turn at the same
time. We can’t offer Mrs. Thurnell tbe bouse
with the ghost attached to it, with any rea¬
sonable hope of her acceptance of it—so
much wo may take for granted. The ques¬
tion is, is it worth your while to try and
dear the coast ot it before anything Is said
to her about it!”
The proposition was an odd one, to say the
least of it, but the game seemed worth
the candle, and I felt, moreover, how
poor a figure I should cut in the
old man’s eyes were I to decline it
What it was he wished me to do precisely, he
or didnotchoose
to tell me, but I consoled myself with the re¬
flection that impostures of the sort he sus¬
pected were, as a rule, of the clumsiest, and,
to make a long story short, I accepted the
Cedars on his own conditions. My wife, who
was told nothing to disquiet her, and who
naturally, therefore, was overcome by the
generosity which was being shown us, ac¬
companied Mr. Van Deckennann over the
house and was charmed with it, with the
style in which he proposed doing it up, even
with the old furniture stowed away in the
atties, and which was to supplement our
own, and it was finally arranged we woro to
take possession at Lady day.
It was not, however, until close upon
Christmas week, which we were going to
spend, as usual, with my wife’s father down
in Sussex, anything more was said of the
private understanding f between my new land¬
lord and myself; had been trying to over¬
come Mary’s scruples about remaining be¬
hind with the children, after I was compelled
to return to the office, and as there was an¬
nually the same little discussion between us,
my unselfish little woman generally get¬
ting the better of it, I was not sur¬
prised to find that our shrewd old
friend had reckoned upon this, and was
prepared with % suggestion in his own inter¬
est. Mrs. Thurnell might, he said, make her¬
self quite happy about me and do him a fa¬
vor at the same time by allowing me to be¬
come his guest for the few eyenings I should
otherwise have to spend by myself. The
longer change could not but be beneficial to
her and-to the children, and why should she
net have it? Besides, it was necessary fear the
carrying out of what he called our'innocent
conspiracy against her that some such ar¬
rangement should be made. To Mary it
seemed only a further proof of his kindness
and consideration, and the invitation, the
curious circumstances of which wero known
only to him and to me, was accepted accord¬
ingly. It was not, however, until I had dined
for the first time, tete-a-tete, with Mr. Van
Deckermann, I was made aware of what was
expected of me, and shall I confess that the
knowledge did detract somewhat from my
enjoyment of the best .glass of Madeira I had
ever been privileged to taste?
