"Maurice! Maurice!" interrupted the girl, wildly. "Take me to the dead chamber." "Yes," said Jen to himself that night, as he retired to bed, "to-day I have learned sufficient to implicate Etwald; to-morrow I shall be able to convict him. Dido must confess or go to prison." "I don't think so," said he, with conviction. "Why should he kill Maurice?".

It was, perhaps, just as well for Anson that he kept out of Billy's way during this period. However very little that Billy did was missed by his pale blue eyes. He knew that his step-brother had visited the haunted house alone and had searched it nook and corner. For what? He had seen him fasten his rabbit-foot to a branch of a tree and dig, and dig.

"If what I relate appears impossible don't blame me," he said, abruptly, "and I feel certain that you will laugh when I tell you about Voodoo!" She swept Elinor off the stool, away from the crowded dressing room, and at last found a deserted corner behind a big cast. "We'll meet you at the door on Charter Street," Elinor reminded her, as she kissed her. "Be sure to be there on time." "To see me!" said Maurice, looking at his rival. "Then why did you not go to 'Ashantee?'".
