We again questioned the servants, but with the same result, and then we went quietly up-stairs.

Arriving at the landing, we saw Miss Forrest and Miss Gray leaving Mrs.Temple at the door of her room.

Tom hurried to Miss Gray, and took her by the hand, while I, nothing loth, spoke to Miss Forrest.
"There's surely some trick in this," I said to her.
I felt her hand tremble in mine as she spoke.

"I do not know.

It seems terribly real, and I have heard of such strange things." "But you are not afraid?
If you are, I shall be up all night, and will be so happy to help you." I thought I felt a gentle pressure of her hand, but I was not sure; but I know that her look made me very happy as she, together with Edith Gray, entered her room a few minutes after.
When they had gone, I said to Tom, "I am not going to bed to-night." "No ?" said Tom.
