The snake swayed its head back wards and for

have attracted everything which came within
hearing of his music. Hubert himself was en-
tranced as he saw the serpent lowering, enai-
ing almost, il seemed, over the beauty it had
chosen for lis victim. He felt spell-bound
when the snake, attracted by the noise of his
entrance, turned its dark glistening eyes upon
him-a deadly fear came over him, such as no
danger TO himself could ever have produced -
With fixed eyes he stood as though rooted to
the spot. and large drops Of sweat rolled down
his face. He was as il paralysed, and incapa-
BILE of motion. He felt his heart bea, as thong h
it would burst through the barrier Of his ribs,
and his breath came slowly and painfully. Il
was like dreadful dream, made mote vivid by
the intense feeling Of reality there was about H.
How long he remained 10 this state he did not
know, probably not more than minute, though
that minute seemed ages Of torture, and then
Leila moved aneasiy, and at the motion the
snake resumed its dance asthough preparing to
strike. Still unable TO move he gained an i'm

Creel, pale and feeble, with hymn-book in
his hand, and mien all meekness and humili-
ty, was seen tottering from the prison to the
scaffold. He had no sooner ascended it, than
his eyes began to wander over the vast con-
course of people around him with scrutiny
that seemed like faith in dreams and while
the sheriff read the warrant, the convict's anx-
iety appeared TO increase; he looked and
looked again, then raising his hands and eyes
a moment to the sky, as if breathing last
ejaculation, when 10 F! as he resumed his first
position, the very person he described, stood
within six feet Of the ladder The prisoners
eye caught the sight, and the jaior at the
same moment seized the stranger by the col
lar. At first he attempted to escape, but be-
ing secured and taken before magistrate, he
confessed the deed, detailed all the particulars,
delivered up part of the money, informed
where another part was hidden, and was final
ly committed for trial-while Creel was turned

that he had given her the money, which he
had concealed about his person and that the
whole, from the prison TO the scalfold scene,
was contrivance to effect his escape, which
having effected, she was regardless of conse-
quences. Nothing could be done with her
