THE HAIRY MONSTER by NEO MILLER i am not a scientific or learned man if i were perhaps i might be able to set down the events which i am about to chronicle in such a manner as will be of enormous value to the scientific world had the events which i am about to relate been witnessed by a man possessed of a knowledge of science the world would undoubtedly have been made richer by the passing of Dr. Carroll. For then we would have a true explanation of all that took place within the mysterious laboratory which he had fitted up for himself. We would then have a solution of the most mystifying series of circumstances which I have ever heard of. Alas, that I alone know all the absolute facts surrounding the affair, and I alone of all the world am perhaps the man least fitted for the task of setting them down,
for, as I have stated, I know nothing of science, or of the principles involved in the doctor's experiments. The best I can do is write down the actual occurrences in the best way I know, and permit my reader to draw his own conclusions. Were I a writer of fiction, the reading of what is to follow might have been made much more pleasurable, but then perhaps I might have yielded to the temptation, which I have found to be very common to writers, to polish up and gloss over certain occurrences which took place with a view of making them more thrilling and interesting the events themselves are thrilling enough and if you do not find them interesting the fault lies only in my meagre ability to relate what i know to be the absolute facts why dr carroll with his host of scientific friends should ever have taken a fancy to me is more than i have ever been able to figure out certainly i am not one who would attract attention from such a learned man as he
In fact, I was but a servant of the doctor's, yet at times he treated me with more courtesy than he did his colleagues in science. I was his gardener, with a little cottage of my own on the edge of his estate, and very often in the evening the doctor would drop in for a quiet smoke and a few minutes' conversation, and on one or two occasions I have known of his actually deserting a learned company of savants to come to my cottage and converse with me. Naturally, I believed that Dr. Carroll thought a great deal of me, and I would have died for him. I think his eyes were the most noticeable thing about him. Strange magnetic eyes they were, which, when one once looked into them, seemed to possess the property of holding his gaze until the doctor chose to look away.
Hypnotic, I guess you would call it. Certainly no man could ever forget the eyes of Dr. Carroll. and because i could never forget the eyes of my master a group of analysts judged me insane bah they do not know what i know and probably never will from time to time the learned doctor had been engaged in scientific experiments though i never did know the complete details of those experiments I did know that the doctor held an enviable place in the world of science, and that he was the author of several books which had caused sensational stirs among his fellow scientists. In fact, I was at all times impressed with the depth of the doctor's learning. And I have never ceased to marvel at the things he sometimes showed me in his laboratory.
Horrible, grotesque, and sometimes seemingly supernatural were the things which he brought before my attention. Had I been superstitious or of weak heart, i know that i would long ago have died of the horrors which he showed me but the calm precise doctor often complimented me by saying that i was able to see such things in the calm dispassionate light with which all scientists must view their experiments thus encouraged i continued my infrequent visits to the laboratory and endeavored to manifest an enthusiasm for the horrible and eerie things which he showed me though often after seeing some of his terrible creations
