"That is mere nonsense," returned Siebach, irritably.
I said nothing more; but after breakfast I found an opportunity of speaking to Auberthal alone.
"I should like to investigate this matter," I said. "Will you help me, Auberthal?"
He laughed.
"Certainly; but I don't believe in ghosts, you know, Bazarac. I trust you don't?"
"FOR A FEW MOMENTS THE RIDER REMAINED MOTIONLESS."
"I have seen some very strange things in connection with ghosts; at all events, will you keep up to-night, and follow the Stone Rider with me?"
"If it will afford you any amusement."
"Don't speak to Siebach about it, then. He evidently does not care for the subject," and I related to him the incident of the glove.
