He
pointed
to
the
huge
oaken
door
and
Frank
saw
that
it
was
ajar.
The
snow
on
the
porch
was
not
deep
and
they
saw
that
footprints
led
from
the
open
door
to
a
corner
of
the
porch.
At
that
point
the
snow
on
the
railing
was
disturbed,
as
if
a
hurrying
man
had
clung
to
it
a
moment
before
jumping
over
and
into
the
drifts
below.
But
the
tracks
led
no
further,
for
the
drifting
snow
had
covered
all
excepting
a
hollow
where
some
body
had
landed.
"Thomas!"
exclaimed
Frank.
"And
he
was
in
a
hustle,
by
the
looks
of
the
tracks.
Bet
he
was
frightened
while
at
the
telephone
and
beat
it."
They
entered
the
house
and
closed
the
door
behind
them.
It
was
growing
quite
dark
and
Frank
searched
for
the
light
switch.
This
was
near
the
door,
and,
at
pressure
on
the
upper
button,
the
spacious
old
hall
with
its
open
staircase
was
revealed
dimly
by
the
single
remaining
bulb
in
a
cluster
set
in
the
center
of
the
high
ceiling.
The
hall
was
unfurnished,
excepting
for
a
telephone
table
and
chair,
the
chair
having
fallen
to
the
floor
and
the
receiver
of
the
telephone
dangling
from
the
edge
of
the
table
by
its
cord.
"You
must
have
heard
the
chair
fall,"
commented
Tommy,
"and
it
sure
does
look
as
if
Thomas
left
in
a
hurry.
Wonder
what
it
was
that
frightened
him?"
The
house
was
eerily
silent
and
the
words
echoed
awesomely
through
the
adjoining
rooms
which
connected
with
the
hall
through
large
open
doorways.
