In his fiat, to whieh he returned, everything seemed to hold a memory of Jackie. There was the big chair like a gig- antic peacock's tail in which she had liked to curl herself up; the couch on which she had lain asleep after supper on the night of her sue- cess in "Spateh-Cock'; the Erard grand on whose keys she played five-finger exercises; the vases that had so often held her flowers; the corner of exposed parquet where she often danced. . .. On one occasion, he being out, she had taken. advantage of his absence to construct in his bedroom a re- plica of the shrine she had made for herself. He had loved her for her simple faith and the pretty prae- tices of her religion.

But, recently according to stories he has told his neighbors, Robin Goodfellow or some other spirit developed a habit of riding his horses by night, returning them to the stable before dawn in a lather, while other spooks turned his cattle out of the barns and drove them over the landscape, and occasion-| ally braided the tails of his heifers. At the same time mysterious fire imps began to infest his house, and little fires appeared in all sorts of unexpected places.
