When I bought my country place I

made an offer for it and everythingon it just as it stood and the deed wasthus made out The house was 130years old and there was some very oldfurniture In It including a clock reach-ing

¬

from the floor of the hall nearly tothe ceiling It had not kept time formany years The works were rustyand the pendulum which had been de¬

tached stood in the corner of the caseWhile the party from whom I madethe purchase and I were looking at theold clock he gave me the following rea ¬

son for the pendulum being iu that po-

sition¬

He said that there was a tra-dition

¬

that one of the fpriner ownersof the premises had been warned that I

the clock would foretell the hour ofhis death How this ghostly informa ¬

tion was to be conveyed was not desig ¬

nated but the warned manJhoping to

disarm the ghost detached the pendu ¬

lum and set it in the corner of thecas One night in autumn when ttewinds were blowing and the rain faiing he was lying wide awake whensuddenly the old clock In the hall be-

low¬

began to tick What induced himto count the strokes from the very firstone he didnt know but he did countthem till the three thousand five hun ¬

dred and fortieth stroke when a sud ¬

den sinking sensation came over himand he called for assistance He diedone minute later or on the three thou-sand

¬

six hundredth strokethat is inexactly one hour from the first stroke-

I thanked my informer for thisgrewsome tale and told him that if hewould verify it I would sell him theproperty I had just bought from himfor one half what I had paid him butthe days of ghosts had passed andsuch stories no longer affect people asthey once did-

Nevertheless conscious as we arethat there are existences beyond ourken one must be superstitious The-se 1 had been planted in me and oftenafterward when I lay awake at night-I would fancy the slightest sound tobe the tick of the old lock I wastempted to sell it but in the firstplace my wife greatly valued suchold truck in the second I was ashamedto confess even to myself that I wasafraid of it You laugh at me buthow many people are there who donot prefer to first see the new moonover the right shoulder This aloneindicates that we are all in a measure

I

superstitious Whether by nature orinheritance I dont know

One autumn my wife left me to begone a few days There was only aservant at home besides myself Thenight following my wifes departuretile house seemed unusually stillin ¬

deed it was unusually still I cantsay I felt unwell but I was what Imay call discomposed My usual hourfor going to bed was 10 oclock butthis night I sat up till 11 and eventhen felt no inclination to seek mylonely couch I got to sleep howeverin about half an hour After going tobed

During the night I awoke suddenlySometimes we awake at night feelingcomfortable lie awake for a short tijmeand go to sleep again But this night Iknew the moment J awoke that I wasin for a season of wakefulness Itwas a bad night The wind was fitfuland a slow rain had been coming down-all day I f lta terror creeping overme though at what I could not divine-I was not afraid of the dark or thewind or the rain Nevertheless I wasin an uncomfortable condition ti

I had been awake oply a few moments when I heard a tap tap taptap for all the world like the ticking-of a clock Why I did so I cant ex-

plain¬

I but I counted each tap or tickfrom the first Then it occurred tome that the ticking came from theclock in the hall below The workshad note been cleaned the pendulumstill stood in the corner but if ever Ihad heard any sound coming from acertain direction I heard that clockticking and the ticks seemed to meto be exactly one second apart I kepton counting not from c pice but fromsome unexplained compulsion I tried-to stop counting but do what I would-I couldnt lose the number of the beats

There I lay every minute growing-more and more discomposed counting-the seconds by sixties knowing that atevery sixtieth second another minutehad elapsed The story that had beentold me about the clock thus warninga man of his death would not be banIshed By the time I had counted1200 strokes I was in a terrible condi ¬

tion and at the three thousandth I

knew Iwas nearing collapse I re-

member counting 3000 beats afterwhich I must have become uncon¬

sciousWhen I came to myself it was com¬

ing dawn J was weak as a kitten Iwished to get up and call a servantbut had not the strength Later Iheard one in the hall and called Adoctor came my wife was telegraphedfor andwell I was not out of bedfor a month When I went downstairsajraln tile old clock was not there Mywife had removed It
