Vj^HAT a spot to be in! Almost midnight,
"* with the rain falling as he trudged
down a lonely street in a strange town,
lost! Martin Hall regretted the impulse
that had made him stop off for a visit
to an old school chum. This was the
street — but it was too dark to make out
the numbers of the houses! Martin stopped
before one of them. It wasn't a cheerful
looking place, with its windows staring out
like blind, ominous eyes — but maybe he
could ask directions here!
There was a long wait until the door
creaked open. He could dimly perceive
a man and woman on the threshold, dress-
ed in strange, outmoded clothing. "'Could
you direct me to Henry Travers' house?"
he asked. He was amazed to see them
whisper together, but finally the man an-
swered. "Mr. Travers lives here," he said,
"but he won't be back for an hour. Why
don't you come in and wait for him?"
It was good to get in out of the howling
rain. Martin was amazed to find that the
house was lit by a single old oil lantern.
By its fitful gleam he studied his host
and hostess^ wondering who they were.
They were a sinister pair — the man with
fierce, staring eyes and the woman with
a lean, catlike face. Finally the man spoke.
"We're glad you happened by," he said,
his voice hollow and far away. "There —
there's a window down the cellar that we
can't get closed, and the rain's coming in.
Could you — come down and help us close
it?"
Martin wanted to say that he wouldn't
go down into that cellar for anything in
the world — but before he knew it, the
man had seized the lantern, and they were
on their way. The cellar was a ghostly
nightmare of darkness. "W-where's the
window?" he stammered! but only a mock-
ing cackle answered him. His host handed
the old lantern to him — carefully, as if
he were almost afraid of it — and suddenly
Martin saw that he stood at the edge of
a deep pit. And he saw the woman mov-
ing close, a long knife in her hand. A
shriek of fear burst from his lips. He had
no weapon to save him, but he hurled the
lantern. There was a ghastly, terror-strick-
en cry as it burst in their faces, and
suddenly — they disappeared!
Martin never knew how he got out of
the cellar — how "he fled from the old house.
There was a gap in his consciousness —
all he knew was that suddenly it seemed
to be morning, and he was wandering past
the identical spot. But there was no house
there! All that was left were blackened old
foundations, as if a terrible fire had oc-
curred there many years ago. A passerby
supplied directions to the home of his
friend, Henry Travers, and there, as if
casually. Martin asked the story of the
eld ruins. And he learned that a half-cen-
tury ago, a man and woman had dwelled
in the house that stood there — and that,
according to local legend, people who
came to call on them were never heard
of again! They would lure them to the
cellar, where they would murder and then
bury them. The story had come out when
their house was destroyed by fire. In the
act of burying a victim, they had dropped
the lantern, and were destroyed in the
quick-spreading flames!

HERE7WHATD0 YOU TMNK
READIER?
THE lobby of the Pioneer Hotel in Red
Gulch was a crowded spot, jammed with
people who were vainly trying to register.
But there wasn't a room to be had — it was
Rodeo Week, and every lodging place in
town was filled to capacity. But even if
rooms were available, that wouldn't have
helped Silk, Lefty and Pete, three, crooked
characters who had drifted into town look-
ing .for easy pickings. They were dead
broke — and in search of a victim! And now,
they figured, they had found one. For the
man speaking to the room clerk was none*
other than Slim McKee, a noted prospec-
tor, just in from one of his periodic gold
hunts. Slim was known for his luck in
never returning empty-handed — and this
time was no exception, judging from the
bulk in his waist, which spelled an overflow-
ing money-belt. But he was also known as
a mighty fighter and dead shot, which was
the reason why Silk, Lefty and Pete were
laying their plans carefully!
"He's a friendly cuss who trusts every-
body," whispered Silk, "an' he's gotta find
some place to sleep ! I been thinkin' about
that old empty house just. outside o' town
— the one these local yokels claim is haunt-
ed! We'll tell 'im we're gonna bunk there,
an' invite 'im to come along. We talk about
a ghost there, see, an' laugh at it like it's
a big joke! But when we get 'im in there,
we make with the spooky stuff! The inno-
cent yap '11 be scared so silly that we can
take 'im off guard, slip 'im the business an*
make off with his gold!"
The plot seemed to work like a charm.
Slim McKee was charmed by their friendly
offer and agreed that talk of ghosts musl
be purely foolish local gossip— and so off
they went to the haunted house! It was
already dark when they reached it, and
they couldn't deny that it was an eerie-
looking structure. Unconsciously, they low-
ered their voices as they entered the old
and abandoned place. Inside was dual and
ruination — together with an odd and op-
pressive atmosphere which cast a strange
terror — in , all except Slim McKee! "Shore
am sleepy, boys," he announced, as he fold-
ed his coat into a pillow., "Guess I'll hit
the hay!"
Silk nudged Lefty. "Tinje to start in
with the business!" he whispered. "Give
out with some good sound effects — spook
variety!" He grinned approvingly as a
weird clanking filled the air. "Attaboy," he
muttered.
Lefty gulped, his face startled. "/ didn't
make that noise," he breathed. "It came
from upstairs! Maybe — maybe it was
Pete!" .
Silk was about to speak, but, stopped.
Lefty's face — why was it that unearthly
color? What gave it that corpselike blue
tint? It was a ghostly light that was bath-
ing the room — where did it come from?
His eyes were playing him tricks, that was
it— better get on wirb the business of scar-
ing Slim McKee until he was ripe for
plucking! "Okay," he muttered, licking his
lips. "Here goes with a gen-u-wine phan-
tom groan!" He opened his mouth — then
stopped suddenly.
•-AHHH-EEEEEE!" It had come from
upstairs, no doubt about it— a long drawn-
out, wailing moan like an eriho from an old
tomb! It must be Pete— it couldn't be any-
body else! "Pete!" Silk found himself
shouting hoarsely. "Pete!"
In answer came a high-pitched, gurgling
scream of horrible fright. Past the door-
way ran Pete, his face a mask of pale hor-
ror. He didn't bother opening the sagging
old front' door— he crashed right through
it! A choked gasp, a whirr of movement —
that was Lefty following him. Abandoned
by his accomplices, Silk found every limb
atremble as he edged fearfully into the
hall. Almost against his will, he felt his
glance being drawn to the staircase. Then
his eyes widened and his mouth opened to
shriek — for on the stairs stood the thtny!
Now it was coming toward him— silently
— on and on! He tried to run, but he was
paralyzed. Scream after scream burst from
his lips, but then the creature was upon
him — and the. screaming stopped!
Disgustedly, Slim McKee left the old
house. He'd had enough! Hard enough for
a man to get his sleep without all those
strange noises! "It musta been those guys,
tryin' to make me believe that place was
really haunted!" he grumbled. "Huh — as
if I'd ever fall for any of that stuff!"
For three hours— the ghostly battle rages!
