But, when ninc o'clock struck, ant
there were no tidings Of her, Raby began

He did so. -,
Al eleven, tho servant came baCk witt
tho news that Jael DGnce was not o
home. She had been seen wandering
about tho country, and was believed to b.
wrong in the head. George, the black
smith, and others, were gone up to tue oil
church after her. -t
"Turn out with torches, every man
lack of you, and find her" said Raby.
As for Raby and AmbOyne, they sat by
tho firesidc, and conyorsed together
principally about poor Mrs, Little; but thu
conversation was languid.
A fow minutes aiter midnight, a terri
bio scream was heard. TWAS uttered OH

very room where Raby and AmboynC
were seated. Both men started to thcif
feet, Tho scream was not repeated.

with some little difficulty, he opened tho
window, and ran out, followed by AM

They looked, but could sec nothing.
But, with thut deatll.shrick ringing In
their ears, they wasted no time. 4aby
waved Analogue 10 tho leil. and himself
dashed off to tho right, and they secured
tho lawn In less than a minute.
A cry Of horror from Raby! lie had
found The body Of q woman floating in a
pool of tho river, head downward.
Hc dashed into the water directly, and
drew 1t to tho bank: Doctor AmboynG
helped him, and they got it out on dry
land. The face was ghastly: the body still"
"Turn her facc downward" said Am.
boyne, "givo her overy chance Carry
her gently."iI EaN.L 1IEI 5,l.l.;
One took tho shoulders, the other the
feet; they carried her slowly in and laid
her gently before the fire.
Size lay like dripping marble:
Her clothes clingtng tightly around her,
revealed her marvellous form, and limbs
Of antique mold; but oil so deadly still.
Amboync kneeled over her, searching;
in win, for some sign Of lie. He grOaned.
"Oh y said he, "is it possible that such
creature as this can be cut off in its
prime :"

"Oh, God forbidI One Of her ancestors
saved Raby's life in battle, another saved
Raby in loaming flood and | couldn't
save her in dead pool She Is tho last Of
that loyal race, and I'm the last Itaby.

While he bcmoancd her thus, and his
tears actually dripped upon her pale face,
Amboync detected q slight quivering In

When he had, dOno this several times,
something like a sigh escaped from Jacfs
breast; The Doctor removed the bel.

eyes. "Curious," said he, "Giye INC some
