CONSIDERATE

                                  PART 12

Jason felt in his pocket for his cigarettes.  "Well," Jason said,  "You

seem to know all the answers.  Have a cigarette.  Or don't ghosts smoke?"

The man extended his hand.  "Thanks," he replied,  "This is an unexpected

pleasure.  You'll notice that although there are ash trays about the

room, there are no cigarettes or tobacco.  Lillian never smoked; and 

when they took me to jail, she brought all my tobacco there to me.  You

see this room exactly as it was at the time she killed herself.  She's

wearing the same dress, for example.  There's a certain form about these

things, you know."

     Jason lit the cigarettes.  "Well!" he exclaimed.  "You certainly 

seem to think of everything!  Though I can't understand, even yet, why 

you want me to get out of here.  I should think that after you've gone

to all this trouble, arranging your effects and so on, you'd want 

somebody to haunt."

     The woman laughed dryly.  "You're not the man we want to haunt,

Mr. Williams.  You came along quite by accident.  Mr. Wynn is the man 

we're interested in."

     "He's out in the hall now," the man said suddenly.  He jerked

his head toward the door through which they had come.  All at once

things didn't seem half so funny to Jason as they had a moment before.
