OUR SHORT STORY--
OUR SHORT STORY THE HOUSE OF FEAR. I PART II. C"' confess that, as we ascended the four j Soaked steps to the rotten porch before °°r sensations were not as remote from I 'Would have wished, but Budthorne V ^^tiOTed. He seemed1 to treat the matter t<niItlonplaoe ocourrenoe. He put the key and tried to turn it as calmly as the ave done the same thing at his own «lid k I helped him until and we went into the wide hallway. oatm<*Ph»e of the place was sufficient to I fear, but it was only ordinary *or damp and moild and slime. The lki% had. become a freahold to them. We > ^ovi^d with digging implements and Budthorne lighted the latter and we room on the right. The loathsome 4%1 rAg. tltlllt fatten upon decay had glutted them- 'Ves there at their ease. Even the light that r ^rough the elata of the shutters and ln? panes seemed unclean. 8oni« groping we found the cellar stair- <11 Tvent down the weakened steps with >0^ 48 "Miy be imagined, the cellar was in %tN tion than the house. I had become 1 !I{}¡)k iny companion's coolness, and when at him then I saw no signs of the r4old ng I felt as we walked to the front. The ?e ta Was 80 thick upon the earthen floor that tt.l'ik?DPed some time with the mattock before I ?11?;? the ^one. I had the lantern and I "-l'clt.°rne -on dug out the object of our E He lift^ it out gf t'he pit with ?. hands without hesitation. As he held it up to the candle I coU'Jd not help looking over my shoulder into the foul shadows, but whatever connection there was between the ball and the fear that came upon one in the night had been broken, at least for a time. The sphere was covered with earth, but the young man tapped it with his finger nails and expressed his pleasure that it had not rotted. We returned to the side room upstairs, where he put the ball upon the wide window sill, and began to scrape off the dirt with his knife. He uecame completely absorbed in the task and though nothing of his fetid surround- ing's. My mind was divided between wonder at his interest and my repugnance. At last the sphere was clean and he held't up triumphantly. I cou-Id not help admiring the wonderful skill displayed in its construction, but at the same time was powerfully affected by thoughts of the places from which the tiny bone cubes had como and of the frenzy of the brains they had helped to encase. I "A brave scion of the third generation," h..1 said to himself, as he examined the Arabic words upon the lid, which ;;t.ÜI moved easily upon the hinge. At the instant an insight into his motives I came to me in a flash. He was not merely curious about the sphere and the blijlit it had brought upon his house; he was the scion of ihe third generation, and that he was a brave one his demeanour hid already amply proved. I _? decided not to tell him of my guess then, and merely o»kod "What will you do now?" "I shall leave this curiosity here and come back to-night to feel this fear that scaped ficm it. I hope ,It is not all imaginary, for it would add to its value if I- could tell of an actual experience with it." "WiM it be agreeable if I come with you P" "Perfectly." He placed the ball carefully in a corner, and we left the house, securely locking the c'oor. We returned to Philip's and told the ta-gerly- waiting company of the finding of the ba.11, but, as we had agreed together, withheld' our intentions for the night. About eight oclook in the evening, we excused ourselves from the other guests, and started for the house. The clouds had cleared from the sky and the waning moon was just rising. I shall not attempt to tell my expecta- tions. They were not pleasant, yet my curiosity concerning the influence that had escaped from the sphere was strong, And I was further steadied in my purpose by Budthorne's placidity. As we wailked along the road by the- creek the house stood high above it in the moon light like a spectral mansion, and when we entered the lane I began to hope that be would abandon the project. There was no prospect of this, however; he showed no more apprehen- sion than if we had been on our way to a tcena of gaiety. When we reached the porch of the house he turned to me and said, quietly "I have led you to bellieve that I think ibis taJe of the fear one has in this old house at night is imaginary. I want to tell you now that I think it is trv,,e. tju a few moments it will have a grip on Wi. he pour heart isn't a stout one, this is tta 5sai»t to turn back." "I want to experience it myself," I answered. "Besides, I believe I have p-uessed your real purpose. You. are a scion of the third genera- tion, and vou have a theory as to what such a person -might "Precisely. I am glad you have guessed1 it. I believe nothing but bravery will compel this fiend to go back into the bail. I mean to put it on the floor with the lid open and fight it out." "It looks plausible, but "Have I the necessary bravery? That:6 the point to be decided, you think. To make a fair test I must be alone, and when I begin it I shall ask you to leave me. Your presence would be some stay to my courage, and, as I interpret the words on the ball, the scion of the third generation can conquer this demon of fear only by his unaided bravery. I shall tell you when I desire you to come out." He was wholly unmoved, and he unlocked the front door with a, perfectly steady hand. I followed him into the hall, closing the door behind me at his direction. In an instant both knew that Abner Letherby's experience had not .been fancied nor exaggerated. The halil was utterly dark, the odour was almost nauseating, and I shrank from the filth and decay around me, but it was not fear of these that seemed to close around my heart. It seemed to be an element of the air that filled one with an over- powering dread, as heat or coild produces its effect, except that thi's was an unnatural inexplicable effect, as if one should have the sensation of freezing in intense beat or be scorched or blistered by heat in a zero tempera- ture. The house was quiet and peaceful, no hideous apparition appeared, yet I felt everj nerve quivering with fear. Budthorne rtraek a match, lifted the c&ndlle ;O't* the Hum Just inside of the room. and lighted it. He held it up before him and we peered into the shadows. Nothing frigfhtful appeared, but my fear increased as if I were inhaling it. Budthome turned toward me and I looked at him over the candle flame. His face was drawn and his lips trembled slightly as he whispered: "It is true." "Terribly true," I replied1. He walked to the corner where he had placed the ball and came back to the centre of the room. He put it on the floor and set the candle near it. He carefully opened tihe lid, then said: "Please go now." "I should not leave you alone here," I wid. "You are not a strong man, and no one could stand a strain like this very long." "I ilhaliJ risk it." "But what is to be gained ?" "Nothing, perhaps. Nevertheless, I. am determined to test the meaning of those Arabic words." I saw that I could not dissuade him. I felt my own will weaken more and more each moment, and wa,s fully convinced of the truth of old Abner'a statement that insanity or death would result from braving thie malignant influence. I could not, however, oppose young Budthorne's wish, nor could I drag him bodiiiy from the place. But I could bring Philip, and the two of us could compel him to come away. I went to the door thinking of potting Philip, of my cowardice in leaving Budthorne there, and of escape from the place, all in a mental 'jumble, for the sensation that I was about to suffer death in some horrible form, as described by Abner, had come upon me. I thought swiftly of many ways in which men had come to their end, but none of them seemed so full oftenoru death brought on by this cause- lose fear. I felt that the young man could not stand this dreadful test, and from the sill I looked back, fu"ly expecting to find him escaping with me. But he was standing near the hall, erect, determined, and pointing to the door. I fled through the hall, flung open the front door, and ran out upon the porch. I was instantly reKeved of the supernatural fright. I turned at once to go back and plead with Budthorne to come out, but he had followed and shut the door. I heard him lock it inside; then came a noise as of some small metal object falling upon the bare floor far back in the i!ong. dark hall. He had thrown &way the key so that he could not quickly escape. I called to him, urging him to give up his mad experiment, but he did not answer me. I leaped from the porch and ran most of the way to Philip's home. The company was sitting before the fire, and my excited entrance broke up an animated discussion. When I had told of the trial Bud- thorne was making Abner sprang up and exclaimed "He cannot live an hour in that place. Philip, you and Mr. Richards must use force if he will not come out willingly." "I came to ask Philip to go with me," I said. "I could not persuade him to abandon this dangerous experiment." Philip and I were soon hurrying toward the house. Armstrong Hailed us as we were passing his home. "Isn't that young fellow in the old house to-night 1" he asked. "Yes," Phillip answered, and hurriedly explained our mission. "I'll go with you." When we arrived at the porch of the touse I called Budthorne but he did not answer. I called again aa loudly tu» I could, but the silence inside was unbroken. With a sickening appre- hension of what had occurred I threw my v eight against the door, but, it resisted. Philip and Armstrong helped me, the bolt snapped with a loud noise, and the door crashed inward. I sprang into the hal-l, but stopped in astonish- ment. The air was still] foul and close, but it had been relieved of the element of fear. The quietness of the side room, however, tave me a foreboding entirely different from the unnatural dread of death. This room was almost dark, the candle having burned into the stick during the hour of my absence, find shedding then only a circle of light upon the grimy ceiling. We stopped' upon the sill and strained our eyes into the shadows. It required but an instant to see what had happened, and we sprang forward. Budthorne lay upon the floor with his right hand resting limply upon the baill, the lid of which was tightly closed, but he did not move. Armstrong caught up the candle, raised the tallow end higher in the stick, while Philip and I turned the prostrate man upon his back. The light showed his ghastly faoe, set with a desperate determination, and his eyes open and staring, with a vacancy that filled us with a natural dread. I put my hand over his 'heart and cried!: "He is alive. We must get him out of this at once." We carried him out upon the porch, and Armstrong hurried away to bring a team. When he arrived with it, and Budthorne, still insensible, had been carefulMy placed in the straw bed, I asked Philip to take him hoime as rapidly as possible and secure medical attention, adding that I would remain. "What crazy experiment are you bent on?" he asked. "None," I answered. "I intend to put that fiendish ball where it will do not more harm." "Make it sure," he commented, as they drove away. I walked back into the hall of the house with some nervousness, I freely confess. But I quickly difseovered that it wlas groundless, Budthorne had driven out the demon of fear beyond all doubt. I went into the fide room and the expiring flame of the candle dimly revealed the bone ball upon the floor. I put my hands upon it to lift it, and could not help springing erect m amazement. The wonder- ful weight Abner Letterby had spoken ef had come back to it. With much fear that it might fall and break and the spell escape again I picked it up with great cax*. than blew out the candle and walked out upon the porch. At the foot of the hill on whileh the house stands the creek has cut its way through many strata of rocks, thus forming1 a narrow gorge, at the bottom of whieh the water is very deep. I decided to drop the tall into the stream there and hastened to the place. b. order that it might not strike any of the jagged rocke and be broken, I lay flat upon the ground and stretched my arms far out over the chasm. Whether the contact of my hands renewed the spell or my excited nerves re-produced the sensation so recently experienced, I do not know, but ar unnatural fear teemed to come out of tke moonlighted air and death in frightful forms seemed to throng the quiet night. I released the sphere, I saw it fall, glistening in the moonbeams; there was a splash and an echoing gurgle in the gorge, and all was still. I rose and hastened to Philip's home, rejoicing that the spell had been broken, but anxious for the brave young fellow who I' had accomplished that desired end. 11 found him very ill. He lay at Philip's r home for many weeks on the verge of dearth from acute brain fever. He finally grew well enough to be taken to his western home. He has never entirely recovered, for the strain has left a dangerous affection of'the nerves which forbids all reference by himself to his trial or any question from others. His success, how- ever was complete. The last time I visited Philip we went together to the former "House of Fear." It is now one of the brightest and 'handsomest homes of the locality, and one of Armstrong's sois lives there in undisturbed quietness and contentment.
ARE WE REVERTING TO SAVAGERY?
ARE WE REVERTING TO SAVAGERY? Are we reverting to savagery? The ques- tion (says the "Globe") is sucrgested by several facts. Firstly, as the "Daily Mail" poiiita out, the verdict of the jury in the Bratt divorce case establishes the maxim that a man iA&.y beat an extravagant wife with a walking-stick, without legal cruelty. Secondly, a "Society" paper has for months been publishing corra spondenoe favourable to corporal punishment for girls. And, thirdly, the "Gentlewoman,* in deploring the fact that discipline is 110.. enforced in girls' schools, quotes with approval from Kipling: "You may ride with an unused whip, ridf with an idle heel, But once in a way there will come a day when the colt must be taugilt to feel." We shall be selling our wives at "Smiffei" again soon. (
