THE DOUBLE-BEDDED ROOM
A TRAGEDY.

In the Spring of 1860 I went to Stein
ton to transact some professional bust
ness and attend trial which was then
before the criminal, court at that time
in session. | reached the place late in
the evening, If er hard days journey,
and found that the only hotel in the vii.
lagc was full, with the exception of one
bed in double bcdded room.
'The other bed is occupied by a gen
tleman from New York. said the land
lord, and as an inducement for me to
help on the profits of the house, be add

AS | had nothing about me to tempt
even third-rate thief, and had never
given any of my fellow-men sufficient
reason for severing my jugular in the
dark, | decided to take the bed in ques-
ton, and soon after retired to the room.
My fellow traveller was already in bed
and apparently asleep, with his face
turned towards me. It was that of a
mild looking man of thirty-fve, of a
sandy complexion, with hungry look.
As | ran my eye along his outline under
the bedclothes, | did wish that be had

there is nothing like prospective danger.
There was nothing in his physiognomy,
however, that led ME to suspect him Civ

myself in bed, and, with my last thoughts
upon dear Mrs. Jones, [ was soon as un-

in his sleep.
20, Mary, how can you cast me of,
he went on, in the pleading tone of a
distracted lover How can you forget
the love that has followed you for so
many years, and never turned from YOU
in your misfortune when you stood alone
in the world?'
Then came pause, after which he
continued with more moving tones than
before
Say not so, say not so. Before he
with his wealth crossed your path we
were happy in each other, and why
should | be now cast off after you have
sworn by all that is high and good that
you would be mine. All Mary, if you
reject me my soul will be given up to
some dark deed that will destroy US
both. | shall have faith neither in God
or woman to restrain me-
Then you turn deaf ear to my last
prayer. You have chosen your own fate,
