Mr. Cameron burst into a loud and hearty
laugh, which continued until Mrs. Harley and
Constance, attracted by this strange noise from
what they thought the chamber Of dead man,
rushed in. As they entered, Mr.. Cameron
held crab up before them, laughing immoder-

The delusion was now explained. The sound
ofthe crab, dragging itself along with its heavy
claws, had been, and very naturally. mistaken
for the steps Of human being. The size Of the
animal enabled it to find its way easily under the
somewhat loosely hung doors. A manner o.
painting, for which this animal is known, aided
the deusion.
