Thrills and Screams In a Wellington Suburb

To the Editor. Sir,-A week ago I paid a visit to some old friends, who live high up on one of Wellington’s hills. The day had been squally, but as I had promised faithfully io turn up, wet or fine, I kept my word. After a most enjoyable evening I was. about to leave when a "thriller" started over the air and my friends persuaded me to stay a little longer and listen-in. Tt was indeed a "thriller," and we sat spellbound, Just as the secret lover was shut in the freezing chamber with the insensible and guilty wife, and as the husband's mad laughter filled the room, a fearful commotion took place at the far end of the room in which we were sitting. The casement window flew open and a cold and fearful gust filled the room. I am ashamed to say I screamed, I later said good-night and prepared to leave, but I did not fancy the walk

down the hill very much for it is a fairly dark one, so I was much relieved waen my host, who evidently is a mind-reader, decided that a run, as far as the tram, for himself and his dog would be a good idea. I certainly thought so myself.-l
