“Is theh faywies wound heah, Betty? Can they see us?” inquired the little boy in awe-struck tones. “I guess he didn’t say ‘lick,’ Billy.” He was not more inquisitive than other boys, yet the mystery, the many uncanny tales told of the old house, fired him with a desire to know its secrets. Long before he was born a murder had left its stain there. The owners, suspected but unconvicted, moved away; and for years the house stared vacantly at passers. The coming of the Italians had only increased its bad name. Late travellers on the lonely road declared that shadowy forms and flickering lights passed the lower windows and down into the cavernous basement; yet no sounds ever came from behind the barred doors..

The heat and smoke increased alarmingly as they went on, the man puffing at the boy’s pace. In and out, occasionally doubling and returning but never losing altitude, Billy crashed on. His slender body slipped through underbrush by way of small apertures that would not admit the man’s greater bulk; he had to break his way. The boy, also accustomed to running, climbing, had the advantage of better breath; though the other could not, Billy still held his mouth shut against the suffocating smoke, kept his smarting eyes partly closed. “What’s the trouble, dear? What were you afraid of?” she enquired, as she raised him to his feet. “I don’t give two whoops ef he does,” Betty was bubbling with suppressed mirth. She took the child in her comforting arms. “Don’t cry, little one! We shall find her, never fear.”.
