CHAPTER I.

The House of Mystery '";

' A high and narrow sate of carefully

joined boardsstanding ajar in a fence

of the same construction! What Is

there in this to rouse, a -whole neigh

borhood and collect before it a group

of eager, anxious, , hesitating people?

1 This is Judge Oetrander's place, and

anyone who knows Shelby or the gos

sip of Its suburbs knows that this

bouse of bis has not opened its doors

to any outsider, man or woman, for

over a dozen years; nor have his gates

been seen in all that time to gape at

anyone's Instance or to stand unclosed

to public Intrusion. The secluBion

Bought was absolute. The men and

women who passed and repassed this

corner many times a day were as igno

rant as the townspeople in general of

what lay behind the gray, monotonous

exterior of the weatherbeaten boards

they so frequently brushed against

'The house was there, of course they

all knew the bouse, or did once but

(there were rumors of another fence, a

isecond barrier, standing a few feet In

side the first and similar to it in all

Tespects, even to the gates which cor

responded exactly with these outer

and visible ones and probably were

just as fully provided with bolts and

bars.

And now! in the freshness of this

summer morning, without warning or

any seeming reason for the change,

the strict habit of years has been

broken into and this gate of gates is

:not only standing unlocked before

their eyes, but a woman a stranger

to the, town as her very act shows

has been seen to enter there! to en

ter, but not come out; which means

that she must still be inside, and pos

sibly in the very presence of the

judge.

iWhere is Bela? Why does' he allow

his errands But it was Bela, or so

they have been told, who left this

gate ajar ... he, the- awe and

terror of the town, the enormous, re

doubtable, close-mouthed negro, trust

ed as man is seldom trusted, and

faithful to his trust, yes, up to this

very hour, as all must acknowledge,

in spite of every, temptation, (and they

had been many and alluring) to dis

close the secret of this home of which

he was not the least interesting fac

tor. What has made him thus sud

denly careless, be who has never been

careless before? Money? A bribe

from the woman who had entered

there?

What else was there to. believe?

There stood the gate with the pebble

holding It away from the post; and

here stood half the neighborhood, in

a fascination which had for its motif

the knowledge that they, themselves,

if they had courage enough, might go

in, juBt as this woman had gone in,

and see why, what 6he is seeing

now the unknown, unguessed reason

for all these mysteries the hidden

treasure or the hidden sorrow which

would explain why he, their first citi

zen, the respected, even revered Judge

of their highest court, should make use

of such precautions and show such un

varying determination to bar out all

comers from the place he called his

home. "'

It had not always been bo. Within

the memory of many there it had been

an abode of cheer and good fellowship.

Not a few of the men and women now

hesitating ' before its portals could

boast of meals taken at the judge's

ample board, and of evenings spent in

animated conversation in- the great

room where he kept his books and did

his writing. , ,. t

But that was before his son left him

in so unaccountable a manner; be

fore yes, all were agreed on this

.point before that other bitter ordeal

of his middle age, the trial and con

demnation of the man who had way

laid and murdered his best friend.

1 Though the effect of these combined

sorrows had not seemed to be immedi

ate (one month had seen both);

though a half-year bad elapsed before

all sociability .was lost in extreme self

absorption, and a full one before he

took down the picket fence which had

hitherto been considered a sufficient

protection to his simple grounds, and

put up these boards whicb had so com

pletely isolated him from the rest of

the world, it was evident enough to

the friends who recalled his look and

step as he walked the streets with Al

gernon Etherldge on one side and his

brilliant, ever-successful son on the

other, that the change now observable

in him was due to the violent sunder

ing of these two ties. . Grief slowly

NOT A MATTER OF INTELLECT

Though Not Generally Understood,

"Culture" Really Appertains to

the Spirit . . , ,,.

W talk much of culture and get

It mixed up with learning and schol

arship.', It may be these things, but

never unless it has another quality,

-and that is gentility. Culture is a

matter of the spirit, rather than the

Intellect It is not as John Galsworthy

says, scientific learning, social method,

and iron discipline, nor the power of

appreciating and producing works of

feels more than It thinks." Think of

a mean, crabbed, short-spoken man be

ing cultured! He Is the very opposite

of it. We have seen tall scholars who

could 'read Greek, solve the calculus

and discuss- Spinoza, who -were, not

as much cultured as a rabbit. . ,

settled into confirmed melancholy, and

melancholy Into eccentricities.

Judge Ostrander was a recluse of

the most uncompromising type; -but he

was such for only half his time. From

ten in the morning till five In the after

noon, he came and went like any other

citizen, fulfilling his judicial duties

with the same scrupulous care as for

merly and with more affability In

deed, he showed at times, and often

when it was least expected, a mellow

ness of temper quite foreign to bim in

Us early days. . The admiration

awakened by bis fine appearance on

the bench was never marred now by

those quick and rasping tones of an

easily disturbed temper which bad

given edge to his Invectivo when he

stood as pleader in the very court

where he now presided as judge. But

away from the' bench, once quit of the

courthouse and the town, the man who

attempted to accost him on bis way to

bis carriage or sought to waylay him

at his own gate had need of all his

courage to sustain the rebuff his pre

sumption incurred. "

The son, a man of great ability who

was making bis way as a journalist in

another city, bad no explanation to

give - of his father's : peculiarities.

Though he never came to Shelby the

rupture between the two, If rupture

it were, seeming to be complete

there were many who had visited him

in his own place of business and put

such questions concerning the judge

and his eccentric manner of living as

must have provoked response had the

young man had any response to give.

But he appeared to have none. Either

he was as ignorant as themselves of

the causes which had led to hie fa

ther's habit of extreme isolation, or

he showed powers of dissimulation

hardly in accordance with the other

traits of his admirable character.

direction, but left the maw of curi

osity unsatisfied.

And unsatisfied it had remained up

to this hour, when through accident

or was it treachery the barrier to

knowledge was down and the question

of years seemed at last upon the point

of being answered.

Meantime a fussy, talkative man was

endeavoring to impress the rapidly col

lecting crowd with the advisability of

their entering all together and ap

proaching the judge In a body.

"We can say that we felt it to be

our dooty to follow , this woman in,"

he argued. "Didn't you Bay she had a

child with her, Miss Weeks?"

"Yes, and"

"Tell us the whole story, Miss Weeks.

Some of us haven't beard it. Then if

it seems our duty as his neighbors and

well wlehers to go in, we'll Just go in."

The little woman towards whom this

appeal was directed Immediately be

gan her ingenuous tale. She was sit

ting In her front window sewing. Ev

erybody knew that this window faced

the end of the lane in which they were

then standing. She could see out with

out being very plainly seen herself;

she had her eyes on this gate when

Bela, prompt to the minute as be al

ways was, issued forth on his morning

walk to town for the day's supplies.

Always exact, always In a hurry

knowing as he did that the judge

and kindly boys are passed by. There

Is more hope for the latter in a life

of strife than for the former, 'and

Cable Over Whirlpool.

,;, An aerial passenger cableway Is

soon to be built across the whirlpool

at Niagara falls to enable visitors to

get a close view of that marvel of

nature and to experience the thrills

connected with such a view without

incurring any danger. The system,

which is described with illustrations

in the - August ' Popular Mechanics

magazine, is similar to one recently

Installed at San Sebastian, Spain, for

spanning a chasm between two moun

tain resorts, and to . the one that

climbs' the first ttage of the Wetter

born in Switzerland. , The whirlpool

Is ; situated . in " Canadian territory,

about six wiles ' below; Niagara falls.

The cableway Is to be about 1770 feet

long, with 'the; cables stretched at' an

elevation of about 2G0 feet above the

whirlpool--uXheiicar,. (which, haaial

ready been built In. Spain, bas a ca

pacity of fifty passengers.

S'.S .i as t '

would not leave for court till bis re

turnhe bad never, in all the eight

years she had been sitting in that

window making buttonholes, shown

any hesitation in his methodical re

locking of the gate and subsequent

quick departure. . r

But this morning he had lingered In

the gateway peering to right and left

In a way so unlike himself that the mo

ment he was out of sight she could not

help running down the lane' to see it

her suspicions were correct And they

were. Not only had he left the gate

unlocked, but he had done so pur

posely. She bad about decided that it was

only proper for her to enter and make

sure that all was right with the Judge

when she saw a woman looking at her

from the road a woman all in purple

even to the veil which hid her fea

tures. A little child was with her, and

the two must have stepped into the

road from behind some of the bushes,

as neither of them were anywhere In

sight when she herself came running

down from the corner.

. It was enough to startle anyone, es

pecially as the woman did not speak,

but Just stood silent and watching her

through a veil the like of which was

not to be found in Shelby, and which

in Itself was enough to rouse a decent

woman's suspicions.

She was so amazed at this that she

stepped back and attempted to address

the stranger. But before she had got

much further than a timid and hesi

tating "Madam," the woman, roused

Into action possibly by her interfer

ence, made a quick gesture suggestive

of impatience if not rebuke, and mov

ing resolutely towards the gate Miss

Weeks had so indiscreetly left un

guarded, pushed it open and disap

peared within, dragging the little child

after her.

"And she's in there still?"

"I haven't seen her come out."

"Then what's the matter with you?"

called a burly; high-strung woman,

stepping hastily from the group and

laying her hand upon the gate still

standing temptingly ajar. "It's no

time for nonsense," she announced, as

she pushed it open and stepped

promptly in, followed by the motley

group of men and women who, if they

lacked courage , to lead, certainly

showed willingness to follow.

One glance and they felt their cour

age rewarded?

Rumor, which so often deceives,

proved Itself correct in this case. A

second gate confronted them exactly

like the first, even to the point of

being held open by a pebble placed

against the post. And a second fence,

also! built upon the same pattern 'as

the one they had Just passed through;

the two forming a double barrier as

mysterious to contemplate in fact as

it had ever been in fancy. In gazing

at these fences and the canyonlike

walk stretching between them the

band of curious invaders forgot their

prime errand for a moment.

But whatever the mysteries' of the

place, a greater one awaited them be

yond, and presently realizing this, they

burst with one accord through the sec

ond gate into the mass of greenery

which, either from neglect or Inten

tion, masked this side of the Ostrander

homestead.

Never before had they beheld so law

less a growth or a house so completely

lost amid vines and shrubbery. Two

solemn fir trees, which were all that

remained of an old-time and famous

group, kept guard over the untended

lawn, adding their suggestion of age

and brooding melancholy to the air

of desolation infesting the whole place.

One might be approaching a tomb, for

all token that appeared of human pres

ence. ' Even sound was lacking. It

was like a painted scene a dream of

human extinction.

Instinctively the women faltered and .

the men drew back; then the very

silence caused a sudden reaction, and

with one simultaneous rush they made

for the only entrance they saw and

burst without further ceremony Into

the house. .

A common hall and common fur

nishings confronted them. More they

could not gather; for blocked as the

doorway was by their crowding fig

ures, the little light which sifted in

over their heads was not enough to

show up details. Halting with One ac

cord in what seemed to be the middle

of the uncarpeted floor, they waited

for some indication of a clear passage

way to the great room where the judge

would undoubtedly be found In conver

sation with bis strange guest.

self-satisfied demeanor who had start-

MOST DIFFICULT HINDU FEAT

Dancing Girl Balances Eggs on

Threads That Are Stretched From

Rim of Wheel.

Of the many wonderful feats per

formed by Hindu Jugglers, one of the

most remarkable Is the egg dance.

Usually it is executed by a girl, fan

tastically dressed. She makes bse of

a willow wheel, around which at equal

distances are threads, and at the end

of each thread there Is a noose, held

open by a bead.

This wheel the girl places on her

bead, while she carries a basket of

eggs on ber arm. When the muslo

strikes up she begins to dance, and

the wheel begins to spin around. She

then takes an egg from the basket

places it in one of the thread ,noosee,

and throws it from her with sufficient

force to draw the knot tight; The

spinning of the wheel keeps the thread

stretched; with' the "egg at the end of

ahead; but even she quailed when she

found , herself face to face with a'

heavy . curtain instead of a 'yielding,

door. ,

"Look at this! " she whispered, push

ing the curtain inward with a quick

movement, 1 y

Sunshine! A stream of it dazzling

them almost to blindness and sending

them, one and all, pellmell back upon

each other! However dismal the ap

proach, here all was in brilliant light

with every evidence before them of

busy life.

The room was not only filled, but

crammed, with furniture. . This was

the first thing they noticed; then, as

their blinking eyes became accus

tomed to the glare and to the unex

pected confusion of tables and chairs

and screens and standing receptacles

for books and pamphlets and boxes

labeled and padlocked, they beheld

something else. .

The judge was there, but In what a

condition.

From the end of the forty-foot room

bis seated figure confronted them, si

lent, staring and unmoving. With

clenched fingers gripping tho arms of

his great chair and head held forward,

he looked like one frozen at the mo

ment of doom, such -the expression of

features usually so noble, and now

almost unrecognizable were It not for

the snow white of hie locks and his

unmistakable brow.

Frozen! Not an eyelash quivered,

nor was there any perceptible move

ment in his sturdy chest. His eyes

were on their eyes, but he saw no one;

and down upon his head and over his

whole form the sunshine poured from

a large window let into the ceiling di

rectly above him, lighting up the

strained and unnatural aspect of his

remarkable countenance and bringing

Into sharp prominence the common

place objects cluttering the table at

his elbow.

Inarticulate murmurs swelled and

ebbed, now louder, now more faintly

as the crowd surged forward or drew

back, appalled by that moveless,

breathless, awe-compelling figure.

A breathless moment; then the hor

rified murmur rose here, there and

everywhere: "He's dead! He's dead!"

when quietly and convincingly a bluff

masculine voice spoke from the door

way behind them:

"You needn't be frightened.- In an

hour or a half-hour he will be the

same as ever. My aunt has' such at

tacks. They call it catalepsy."

Imperceptibly the crowd dwindled;

the most discreet among them quite

content to leave the house; a few, and

these the most thoughtful, devoted all

their energies to a serious quest for

the woman and child whom they con

tinued to believe to be in hiding some

where inside the walls she had so au

daciously entered. . '

'" The small party decided to start

their search by a hasty inspection of

the front hall, when a shout and

scramble in the passages beyond cut

short their intent and held them pant

ing and eager, each to his place.

Frightened, they drew their gaze

from the rigid figure in the chair, and,

with bated breaths and rapidly paling

cheeks, listened to the distant mur

mur on the far-off road.

What was it? They could not guess,

and It was with unbounded relief they

pressed forward to greet the shadowy

form of a young girl hurrying toward

them from the rear, with newe in her

face. She spoke quickly.

"The woman is gone.-; Harry Doane

saw her sliding out behind us just

after we came in. She was hiding in

some of the corners here and slipped

out by the kitchen way when we were

not looking. He has gone to see "

Breathlessly Miss Weeks cut the

girl's story short; breathlessly she

rushed to the nearest window, and,

helped by willing hands, succeeded in

forcing it up and tearing a bole in the

vines, through whicb they one and

all looked out in eager excitement

.! A "motley throng " of people . were

crowding in through the double gate

way. Some one was in their grasp.

It was Bela! - Bela, the giant! Bela,

the terror of .the town, no longer a

terror but a struggling, half-fainting

figure, fighting to free himself and get

in advance, despite some awful hurt

which blanched bis coal-black features

and made his great limbs falter, while

still keeping his own and making his

way, by sheer force" of will, up the

in every noose. Her fantastic costume,

her perfect motion, and all the eggs

swinging on stretched threads at once

present a curious sight

It requires much art to execute the

dance, for one false step would cause

the eggs to be dashed together and

the dancer to be disgraced. , V '

After dancing for some time with

all the eggs swinging around her bead,

she takes them out of the noose one

by one, all the time keeping the wheel

balanced, and in motion, and again

the season's plaids and stripes, are in
