ter? Somebody must be ill, and was coming
to seek assistance; and was confirmed in this
persuasion when perceived that the foot was
approaching my door, the key of which had
not turned In moment more il opened, and
Fra Dominique entered, asleep. His eyes were
wide open, but there was evidently no specula-
tion in them; they were fixed and CLASSY, like
the eyes of corpse. He had nothing on but
the tunic which he was in the habit of wearing
at night, and in his hand he held large knife
At this strange apparition stood transfixed.
From the cautious manner in which he had
opened the door, and the stealthy pace with
which he advanced into the room, could not
doubt that he was bent upon mischief; but
aware of the dangerous effects that frequently
result from the too sudden awakening Of a
sleep walker, thought it better to watch in si-

reached the bed, he bent over it, felt with his
hand in the place where should have been,
and then, apparently satisfied, he lifted up his
arm, and struck successfully three heavy blows

one. Suddenly, however, whilst his arm was
raised for another blow, he started and turn

which he opened, and had it been large enough,
think would have thrown himself out. But
finding the aperture too small he changed his
direction. Again he passed close to me, and |
heard him proceed rapidly along the gallery,
and retire to his own cell Itwould be vain to
attempt to describe the amazement with which
had witnessed this terrible scene had been,
as IL were, the spectator of my own murder,
and was overcome by the horrors of this Wis
ionary assassination. Grateful to Providence
for the danger had escaped, yet could not
