And Lyon Berners leaving the shudder-
ing women of the party in the room with
Sybi and the dead, apd followed by all the
men, went to search the house and grounds
for traces of the assassin.
But the search proved fruitless. No
trace OF an intruder could be found, nor
was there any evidence of robbery. Fur
thermore, all the windows were fastened on

Captain Pendleton, an old lover of Syb-
IFS, and brother of Beatrix, saw that
there was no safety except in instant flight
He whispered Lyon to take Sybil to her
room, and then to meet him on the back
piazza. This was done, and then the cap
tain unfolded his already matured plans.
Lyon adopted them at once: and under the
skillful management of Captain Pendleton
and Beatrix, they got out of the house I'M

ted Chapel, where new and unexpected hor-
rors awaited them. -tr.T

CHAPTER III.
THE FIRST FATAL HALLow EVE.

1t was An-Hallow Eve, night long an
tlcipated with delight by the whole neigh
borhood, and much longer still remembered
with horror by the whole country.
1t was the occasion of Sybil Berners
mask ball. and Black Hall, the Black Val
ley, and the town of Blackville were all in
a slate of unprecedented excitement; for
this was the first entertainment of the kind
that had ever been given in the locality,
and the gentry of three contiguous coun-
ties had been invited to assist at it.
The throng at Black Hall was great, and
were various and well sustained .
But far the most beautiful, far the most
terrible figure in the pageantrY of the even
ing, was that of Sybil Bernersl She had
chosen for her character the unprecedent-
ed part of the approximation of the
Spirit OF Fire. 1t suited well with her
nature. Her costume was but the outward
sign of the inward fervor.
Sybll had confiaed the secret of her cos
tune to no one bat her husband, who was
himself attired as .HaroId the Saxon. >"

near them they were on their guard, SybiI

and intimate friends, Beatrix Pendleton.

THE ROBBER CHIEFTAIN,
He was the mildest hammered man

He was the mildest hammered man
That ever scuttled ship, or cut throat.
! Sybil had passed the day in the robbers
den with her strange companion, who as
tonished her by stating that the captain of
the band had been present at her masquer-
ade. Late in the afternoon, dinner was
announced, at which several of the robbers
appeared, with hleloch, a gigantic ruffian,
at their head. Moloch was the lieutenant
of the band, and in the absence of the cap
tain, ruled with brutal sway Becoming in
famed with wine, he took a seat by the side
of Sybil, threw his arm about her, and at
tempted to imprint kiss upon her lips.
Sybil struggled in terror and the gypsy
girl cried ont: 4 ......... .. II.

called out one.
'No, no, no" answered the others.

in despair.
''Satan is here !" responded a voice close

But Sybil saw that the giant turned pale
and trembled like thelhbled mountain in
labor as he left the seat by her side and
skunk into another ut some distance.
The wine passed freely at the robbers
table, and the men grew merrier, wilder
and more uproarons Sybil became very
much alarmed; but not so much by the
NOISY orgies of these rude jewellers, as by
the dreadful gaze of Moloch fixed upon
her from the opposite end of the table
where he sat, and the offensive languageof
Satan's eyes whenever they turned towards

THE PURPLE DOVE.
By MARIAN DOUGLAS.

With trembling heart / followed
Where Jimmy led the way.
Up to the highest scaffold
Among the clover hay:
There, where the dusty rafters
orr heads We're close above,
The treasure that we loved the best,
With rainbow neck and downy breast,
Stone dead. but faithful TO her nest,
We found the purple dove:
And .sOi'' said Jim. and 80 = said j,
And both of us sat down to cry.
My mood was April's ever,
But tears were few with jim;
II dignified my sorrow,
To have it shared by him
He stroked the glossy feathers,
And smoothly made them lie;
"'Twas only yesterday she fed
From out my hand, and now she's dead =
80 Jnnl those pretty wingsl" l said;
.To think they'll never fly
1t is too hard II cannot love,
1 never eau. another dove"
And then wcpt in earnest,
As if my heart would break,
AS loud in lamentation -
As mourners at wake:
While Jim his face, in silenee,
Hid in the clover hay,
And wonld not once look mp; and so
We sat, how long do not know,
Till, "Children I" called a voice below
We knew we must obey;
And down we came once more,
The dead dove in my pinafore.
The hyacinths in the garden
Were blooming pink and white;
We made grave among them,
And buried her from sight.
Since then orr share OF tfoIlbie
We've had, both Jim and !, -
Tho common pain that comes to all,
And spccial trials great and SMALL
But still, selfpityiDg, recall
] he grief Of days gone by,
And those hot tears of childish love
Which fell upon the purple dove.

& Novel Libel Suit An Attorney Sues
Twelve ,Iurymen.
From the San francisco gTmca. May y.

from the san francisco I1nlGS. May %.
A. G. Waterhouse brought suit i'll the
Twelfth District Court, yesterday, against
VIM. Dwyer et al, for $50, 600 damages for
libel. The plaintiff sets forth that Dryer
aud the eleven other defendants, all Jurors,
in giving verdict against James Garnet
rs guilty of felony, coupled with said YER
diet a recommendation that the District
Attorney procure an Indictment against
plaintiff Warehouse, thereby, as is alleged,
charging plaintiff with said felony. The
proceeding of the jury in the above case,
which was tried in Sacramento, was very
unusual, ana the settlement OF this novel
libel suit will be watched with interest.
About one year ago difficulty arose be-
tween James Ganctt and John S. Barrett
about n block of lind lying in the eastern
part otthe City of Sacramento Each held
conflicting titles to certain portions of the
block. A settlement was agreed upon be-
tween them, bnt IN some way or other Gar
nett made n deed for certain interests
which, rs was alleged, he had already
decided away. Barrett carried the matter
before the Grand jury, and Gamett was
indicted for felony in selling the same pro-
perty IL second time When the case came
up for trial, Garnet proved that he had
acted throughout III accordance with the
advice of his attorneys, Babcock and Wa
terhouse. Garnetts previous reputation
had been good, and that fact may possibly
to some extent, have affected the case a
verdict of guilty was returned, accompa-
med by an expression OF regret that it was
not IN the power Of the jury to return
similar verdict against the attorneys. The
jury also recommended the District Attor-
ney to procure m indictment against
| hem t.1rnptt C.,,tn,n5I T., L.
Prison, and served out six months of n
term of several years. The case was car
ried to the Supreme Court and Garnett
was set ut liberty by that tribunal. Under
these circumstances the present s1lit COM
menced.

Horrible Suicide -fiangIed Limbs.

very remarkable suicide occurred last
Saturday afternoon on the Detroit Il Mil

The man deliberately laid his left
arm and leg over the rails,
with his head Just of the track.
and his face turned toward the coming le
comotive. The engineer sounded his whis
tie, the bell was rung, and every effort was
made to warn the man of danger As he
did not move in the least, the engineer
supposed him asleep, or intoxicated and
reversing his engine, whistled down brakes.
The heavy train could not be brought up in
time, and the wheels crushed the arm and
leg hike egg-shells. Backing up, as soon as
the train could be stopped, the man was
taken on board and taken to the CITY. The
