NEWYORK-SAVANNAH ATLANTA * NEW ORLEANS CHAPTER XXVIII. Tho Promise Kept Oh. you can Imagine what they were. ’Monica. Raymond doee not explain. I suppose It tie 11 accused him of prevent ing me from yielding to hie request, and threatened to punteh him In some way or other for his conduct. Ills letter was evidently extremely violent In Its lan guage, for.Raymond says he fears Ba sil must either have token to drinking or else must be deranged. "•If he gives you trouble In any way let me know Immediately, and I will return at once nnd have a Anal under standing with Basil.' These are Ray mond's very Wonts. Monica, nnd I feel exceedingly fearful over the matter nnd only thnt t had promised Dr. Mueller to come here this afternoon I think I should have gone straight to Redbrow and given Basil a piece of my mind nt Inst!" “It was ns well you did not. Syl via. It would probably have only made things more unpleasant for you. I think there will be a much quieter, more natural way out of the difficulty than that you should figure as a trage dlenne. And here Is Dr. Mueller him self bearing down upon us. How pic turesque he looks In that Velvet coat and brond hat!” Dr. Mueller was Indeed approaching In the glorious sunshine of the Sep tember afternoon, and Sylvia had not time to question the meaning of Moni ca's cabalistic words, as to the "much quieter and more natural way out of the difficulty.” She decided to Investl- gaet the matter, however, at another time. < A Love Betrayed. "I caught sight of you from that wooded knoll over ther,” Mueller said, smiling radiantly as he shook hands with both girls. "It was very good of you to come so early In the after noon. We shall have plenty of time now to go through the house before the twilight gathers.” Mueller's strange eyes had turned to Sylvia Thurston's sweet face, lingering there for a little with a look In them that Monica, at least, found It no diffi cult task to Interpret. “He's over head and ears In love with Sylvia, of course,” Monica said to herself. "And I think hell succeed In winning her, too, whatever her feelings may be for Basil.” They were slowly crossing the park In the meantime, following an Irregular oaks and cedars. The boom-boom of the waves quiv ered In tho mellow nlr. came with every light gust that rustled tile fading leaves and whlspored amid the yellow clover. "And now to explore the haunted mansion,” Mueller said, as they turned down a bypath leading to tho front avenue, and soon found themselves In the sheltered park, In the heart of Which the old mansion dreams amid Its brooding trees. The Hsunted House, An Irregular, straggling pile, with steep roofs, tall Ivied chimneys, long narrow windows lurking everywhere nnd thickly bordered with the dark green and golden Ivy which almost cov. ered the walls from basement to roof such was The Hollow* and In the quivering, amber sunshine of this ra dlant September afternoon It certalnlj did not Impress Sylvia Thurston will any of the weird attributes of a haunt, ed house. When she entered the mansion, how ever, and followed her host from room to room, from gallery to gallery-, Syl via's Impressions become gradually al tered, an.l she began to feel a queer llttlo thrill now and then, which warn ed her not to glance either behind her or between the apertures of partly opened doors. •'Why, Sylvia, you have grown quite pale!” Monica said, taking one of her friend's haiyds reassuringly In her hearty grasp. They had explored the "haunted" Red Gallery by that time. “Do let us get out of this. Dr. Mueller, please! It Is all very Interesting, but Just a little bit trying to the nerves.” "Very well, then; let us go down to the Inhabited part of the house. But prepare yourself for a shock. The rooms contain the bare necessaries of civilisation." They descended to the west drawing room, a beautiful old room, with an Im mense oriel window, from which the view of the lake and the magnificent old trees that studded It was Indeed a Joy to the eye of the beholder. With the exception of a dozen spin dlelegged chairs, upholstered In a faded yellow satin, a few tables and lounges and an ancient, high-backed piano, the room had no other furniture, and Dr. Mueller proceeded to explain the mean ing of such a' state of things. Mueller’s Explanation, "Tou sec, I’ve only come to this house by way of an experiment. I said to myself that I should test It for a month or two; and on this account It was not worth while getting It prop erly furnished. These old things were brought here from my place near New York, which, since my father's death. Is occupied only by a staff of servants. And now let us get over to our tea and talk to our hearts' content." The meal was a very pleasant one, and when It was over Monica turned to Sylvia. Now, Sylvia, forget all about the haunted gallery and let tu be merry! For my part, I feel Inclined to sing something, If I may?” And she glanced laughingly at her host. , "Certainly, Miss Peard. This old room hasn't heard a song probably for many years; It will be a very wel come renewal of its -former festive days.” "Let us sing something together, Syl via,” Monica said. ‘Til tell you what— let us sing that old English ballad that Raymond taught us some years ago— 'The Logan Stone.' "We've not sung it for a long time now.” “The Logan StoneT" Dr. Mueller echoed, with an odd, startled Inflection in hU voice. Yea; It Is a quaint, plaintive old song; Dr- Muelter,” Monica explained. "The lover and his sweetheart are In Stone, and one night the girl Is acci dentally drowned on her way to the tryst; but her wraith comes and stands beside the Logan Stone on the cliff, Just above the Bpot where she was drowned, and when the lover takes her hand In his, lo!— '"Twas cold, so cold— And she gave a drenry moan! Then led him to the pool of death Below the Logan Stone.” Monica crooned the weird, minor air of tho old ballad os she repeated the words; and as Mueller listened a gray shadow crept over hi* face—or was It but the shadow of the muslin curtains swaying In the breeze from the sea? "No, Monica, please don't ask me to sing that song!" Sylvia said very earn, estly. "But I thought It was quite a favor ite of yours, Sylvia? It certainly used to be at one time." "Yes; when Rnymond first taught It to us. But not nftcrwnrd. Why, don't you remember, Monica, he got It from that poor girl, Pattle Pollard, the nleco of the landlord of the Black Horse Inn, near Tarrytown, where Raymond stay ed once, of twice for some months? Whenever I hear the song I can not help thinking of Pattle’s own tragic death and of all that wretched story." She turned to Carl Mueller. "I dare say you read all about It In the newspapers at the time, Dr. Muel ler. The Black Horse Inn Poisoning Case,' It was headed; I must say I have always believed that that mys terious Dr. Newell was guilty. He must have been a hateful man!” "Yes, I remember, of course, I re member," Mueller returned absently. "It was a very mysterloua affair- very.” Continued In Tomorrow’s Georgian, NATIONAL NEGRO LEAGUE OPENS Topeka, aKns., Aug. 15.—The eighth annual session of the National Negro League opened Its sessions yester day In the representatives' hall of the capitol building, In which 600 prominent men of the colored race from all-over the country participated.
