But Bill was much too excited to take the game which followed very seriously. Antony, on the other hand, seemed to be thinking of noth- ing but bowls. He played with great deliberation for ten minutes, -and then announced he was going to bed. Bill looked at him anxiously. "It's all right," laughed Antony. "You can talk if you want to, Just let's put 'em away first, though." They made their way to the shed, and while Bill was putting the bowls away, Antony. tried the lid of the closed croquet-box.

Miss Norris had used it in order Lo bring off her dramatic ap- pearance as the ghost, Possibly she had discovered it for herself; pos- sibly Mark had revealed it to her secretly one day, never guessing that she would make so unkind a use of it later on; possibly Cayley, having been let into the joke of the dressing-Up, had shown her how she could make her appearance om the bowling-green even more mysterious and supernatural. One way or an- other, she knew about the secret passage, So she must be hurried away. e Why? Because if she stayed and talked, she might make some inno- cent mention of it. And Cayley did not want any mention of it. Why, again? Obvigusly because the passage, or ew the mere knowledge of its ence, might provide a clue.

He certainly did not seem to be anxious, but he could hide his feelings very easily beneath that heavy, solid face. Bill came in noisily-- Bill's face was an open book. Ex- citement was written all over it. "Well," he sald eagerly, as he sat down to the business of the meal, "what are we going to do this morn- ing?" "Not talk so loudly, thing," sald Antony. Bill looked about him apprehen- sively. Was Cayley under the table, for example? After last night one never knew, y He raised his eye for one "No. But one doesn't want to shout. One should modulate the voice, my dear Willlam, while breathing gently from the hips. Thus one avoids those chest-notes which have betrayed many a secre In other words, pass the tomst."
