CHAPTER IV.
A SECRET CHAMBER.
"The cabinet now, dad, and at once," when they went up the stairs and were standing in the room.

"Just give me three guesses about the mystery; but first let me examine." It was pretty to see Kate opening the doors, curiously carved with hunting scenes, and searching the interior, tapping with her knuckles and listening for a hollow sound.
"Is it a treasure we are to find?
Then that's one point.

Not in the cabinet?
I have it; there is a door into some other place; am n't I right ?" "Where could it be?
We're in a tower cut off from the body of the Lodge, with a room above and a room below;" and the General sat down to allow full investigation.
After many journeys up and down the stair, and many questions that brought no light, Kate played a woman's trick up in her room.
"The General wishes to show me the concealed room in this tower, Janet, or whatever you call it.

Would you kindly tell us how to get entrance?
You need n't come down; just explain to me;" and Kate was very pleasant indeed.
"Yes, I am hearing there iss a room in the tower, Miss Kate, that strangers will not be able to find; and it would be very curious if the Carnegies did not have a safe place for an honest gentleman when he wass in a little trouble.

All the good houses will have their secret places, and it will not be easy to find some of them.
