CONSIDERATE

"What really convicted me was the fact that my contract to teach had

not been renewed that spring.  It gave Wynn a ready-made motive to pin

all very neatly and legally.  Three days after I was buried, my wife

committed suicide."

     Though Jason was a trifle afraid, he was nevertheless beginning

to enjoy himself.  What a story to tell his friends!  If only they'd 

believe him!  "I can't understand," Jason pointed out slyly, "how you

can be so free with this house if, as you say, you've been dead twenty-

one years.  Don't the present occupants object?  If I lived here, I

certainly wouldn't turn the place over to a couple  of ghosts-especially

on a night like this!"

     The man answered readily, "I told you that things are not as they

seem.  This house has not been lived in since Lillian died.  It's

not a very modern house, anyway and people have natural prejudices.

At this very moment you are standing in a empty room.  Those windows

are broken.  The wallpaper has peeled away, and half of the plaster

has fallen off the walls.  There is really no light in the house.  If

things appeared to you as they really are, you could not see your hand

in front of your face."
