CAUSE FUD ALAIQM The family was out so Celia had declared a reading night. Her conscience told her that she ought to read the biography for her next day's English lesson, but she had no desire to do so. She was longingly looking at the covers of a new mystery book when the telephone rang. uHello,,7 she said, l'Yes, this is Celia Andrews. This is Ted Barnes speaking, isnlt it? fCelia had recognized the voice of her younger brotherls pall. No, Tom- my went to the show. I don't know which one. All right. Good-byef, Celia put down the telephone and decided that she would take just one peek at the mystery story. lmmediately she became absorbed in it and soon found herself deep in the complexities of the mystery. She shivered when she came to parts such as this: 'clsynne heard soft footsteps approaching with a stealthy, pantherlike quiet- ness. It seemed as if someone or something was about to pounce upon her and per- haps deprive her of her lifefl As Celia was finishing this sentence, she thought she heard a sound. She looked up, beads of perspiration on her brow. Could she have imagined the sound? Yes, that was it. Her unruly mind was playing her tricks. Relieved, she went back to the hair-raising mystery and read a few pages distractedly. Somehow she could not help remembering that she was alone in the house. Anything might happen. Suddenly she clutched her book in fright. Did she hear something again? Was someone cautiously ascending the staircase? Was that a sound like the tolling of a bell? Straining forward, she listened again but heard nothing. 'cSilly,'7 she told herself, hyouire letting your imagination run away with you.', Thus comforting herself once more, she began to read. She had barely started when a noise startled her. She dropped her book and sat listening intently. The sound continued, a sort of clanging noise. lt seemed to come from the floor above. She had to know what it was. Nothing could be so bad as sitting and wondering what was about to happen. She forced her trembling legs to carry her to the foot of the stairs. Grasping the banister for support, she quietly crept up the stairs. The vibrating sound she had heard came from her room which was dark. Celia rushed in. She knew that she had to act quickly, or her boldness would desert her. Upon entering the room, she stumbled over something. A loud OW came from it. Celia snapped on the light. There was her brother Tommy on the floor ap- parently playing with her alarm clock. 4'Gee,', declared the injured Tommy, Myou donit have to kill a guy. What do you mean running in here like that? Celia could manage only a weak, mvlfhen did you come home?,' c'lVle? Oh, a little while ago. Didn't you hear me? l guess you was readinl so I came right upstairs. The guy in the 4Pitcherl was making sounds with an alarm clock sojln L'You thought you'd try it, too?', '4Yeah, boy, donit it make a spooky noisefw Celia couldn't answer that. She sent Tommy downstairs to turn off the lights. Then, in the privacy of her room, she sank exhaustedly down on her bed and shook her fist at the ghostly face reflected in her mirror, You coward you, scared by a silly alarm clock, huh? You ought to get the Carnegie award for bravery l Marion Bozzone.
