AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'For years it had stood—unfinished—that little cottage in the Montbleu Woods. Then the workmen had arrived, had made a curious find of a box containing some papers, hidden high up on a beam. Pierre, whose duty it was to rent the house, read the scrawling writing on the papers relating the curious story of Jean and Yvonne, who had rented the cottage and who had heard the mysterious cry in the night. They had come under a strange and unearthly spell, and found tragedy and death. Pierre was worried. He consulted his friend, Luek, of the French Surete.'
