EW BEGIN with the lady: her locks
Il were strained upwards over an i'm
mense cushion that sat like an incubus ON
her head, and pIastered over with pomatum.
and then sprinkled over with n shower of
white powder. The height of this tower
was.somewhat over foot. One single white
rosebud lay on its top like an eagle on a
hay-stack. Over her neck and bosom was
folded lace handkerchief, fastened in front
by bosom-pin rather larger than a copper
cent, containing her grandfather's minif-
ture set in virgin gold. Her airy form was
braced up i'll satin dress, the sleeves rs
tight as the natural skin of the arm, with n
waist formed by bodice, worn outside.
whence the skirt flowed off, and was dis
tended at the top of an ample hood. Shoes
of white kid, with peaked toes, and heels
of two or three inches elevation, inclosed
her feet, and glittered with spangles, as her
little pedal members peeped curiously out.
Now for the swain: his hair was sleeked
back and plentifully befoured, while his
queue projected like the handle of a skillet.
His coat was a sky-bue silk, lined with vel
low his long vest of white satin, embroi
dered with gold lace his breeches of the
same material, and tied at the knee with
pink ribbon. White silk stockings and
pumps with laces, and ties of the same hue,
completed the habiliments of his nethe
limbs. Lace ruffles clustered around h
wrist, and portentous frin, worked il.

of his beloved, finished his truly genteel
appearance.

of them, l was no longer in doubt as to
where had heard his voice before. It was
the driver of the express wagon who had
taken me from the depot, and who had first
given me the history of the house in which
we now stood. 1t was he who had address
ed his companion as "Jim," and now they
both moved along to the spot which had
possessed such fascination in my eyes until
had solved the mystery connected with it.
jim held the candle above it. moving if
to and fro, but taking care to shade the
blaze with his hand SO that it might not
shine out too brightly through the windows.
do you know whether any one has
been here to-day, Sam?" asked the one
who had not before spoken.
Yes, one sure that chap 1 brought
over from the depot t'other day was in
here this forenoon"
gave start of surprise. How did he
know this? Had my movements been
watched, and, if so, did they not know that
l was even then secreted somewhere about,
the house?
"He here! Then he must be q detec-
tive, as we thought he was, in the first
place" said the other, in evident alarm.
"No, don't think he isl returned nv

and l have found that he is really an old

The Haunted House.
by ARTHUR L. MESERYE.

WHY I left. the filthy and gloomy
w office of Messrs. Bite Sc Tear, cat
torneys and Counsellors at Law" as their
legend reads, and where | had acted in the
capacity of clerk for the past dozen years,
was for a two-fold reason. The first was,
my health was beginning to fail, from too
close application to my business, and the
old doctor who had been in our family for
years, declared that l must have country
air, and plenty of it, before | could hope to
be better and the other was, | wanted to
pay visit to my old friend and chum at
school, Tom Jones, whom / had seen but
once since | had entered the employ of
Messrs. Bite & Tear These reasons being
deemed sufficient by my employers, I was
granted leave of absence for couple of
months, and throwing together modest
amount of apparel l sailed forth for the
depot, and was soon whirling along towards
the place Of my destination.
had learned that the train did not run
nearer to Wicklow than half score of
miles; but / was told, ON board, that l
should find conveyance at the little way
side station which would take me there,
and therefore felt somewhat disappointed
when l stepped on the lonely unsheltered
platform, to find that l was monarch Of all
] surveyed, there not being road, or a hU-
man habtation in sight.
A cross-road led away into what seem ed
to be the heart of wilderness, but which
one to take, the right or the left, was more
than l could possibly conjecture. Iprlyu un.
certainty and doubt, / blamed myself fol
not having written Tom to meet me at the
station, as he would have done, but then
wanted to take him by surprise. In one
thing had succeeded, and that was in sur
prising myself, for / had not the least idea
that such a wild, wilderness-lool1ing place
could be found before the end of a DAYS
ride from the Hub.
was just on the point of adopting thai
method which all lost travellers are sup
posed to put in practice, that of setting III
stick and bending my steps in the direc
ton which it fell, when, much to my relief
l heard the clatter of wheels, and lout
voice, apparently addressed to the beast it,
owner was driving, and in a moment more
rough-looking team appeared coming
down the road, and in little time it haC
driven round to the platform with a flour
ish.
"Going to Wicklow?" he asked, as h,

l meel1ly obeyed this rather imperative
him and away we went towards Wicklow
at round pace.
The country was wild nearly all the way
there, and my companion was not COM
municative, answering my questions by the
shortest possible answers Once only did
he seem inclined to open his mouth, and
that was when our journey was nearly over,
and my attention had been attracted by an
old dilapidated and apparently deserted
house, standing in dark grove of cedars
little back from the roadside. l inquired
who lived there, and he replied with
sharp look in my face
"Nobody."
Why not ?'
"It's haunted"
"By what?"
GA ghost, to be sure" he answered, with
another glance into my face.
"Of whom?"
"Of man who was murdered there ten
years ago, or thereabouts."
"Why does he walk ?" was my next
question.
My driver looked at me as though my
question astonished him.
"What makes ghosts come back any
way ?" he said, answering my question by
asking another.
81 don't believe they do" L answered
"But why do people hereaboats say this
house is haunted?"
"Because of the lights and noises seen
and heard here on dark nights, and of the
bloodstain on the kitchen floor"
"Where the former owner of the house
was killed ?"
eyes"
"What of it? Anything more than a
dark stain, as is usually the case where hui
man blood is split upon wood ?"
eyes, much more. On certain nights,
when the ghost walks, and also during the
day before, the dark stains upon the floor
turn to blood-red, as though blood had
been split there"
"That can hardly be. People who think
they witness this miracle have to draw
largely on their imagination, and allow
their eyes to deceive them"
"There is no chance for your being de-
ceived. 1t is there rs plain as the nose on
your face. But yonder is Wicklow"
He pointed to the village lying some
/ half mile away on slight elevation. This
turned the topic of our conversation, and
the haunted house was not again REQUIRED

gave Tom genuine surprise, as I had
intended to, and he was glad to see me as I
knew he would be.
One day said to him. the thought sud
denly occurring to mind:
"What is it, Tom, about that haunted
house over yonder? The driver told me
something about it the other day as we
came along"
My friend looked grave.
81 hardly know what to tell you," he
said. "People that live over yonder say
that the house is haunted, and must con-
fess that have seen things there that ]
cannot account for"
"You, Tom ?"
eyes, myself You may think I am
foolish and smile if you will, but I have
seen things that cannot nationally be ex-
planned" n. ..g
"What are they, Tom?"
Probably the same as the driver told
you, though have seen none of the lights
or heard the sounds; but have seen the
blood stain when it was almost as dark as
ink, and then again when it was q light
crimson-like fresh blood. How shoulC
this be? ] doubt if you can explain"
could not. The most could do was tt
say that he must be mistaken. That hi
