One evening, while the two

ted concerning Julio's passion for
the BARRIERS daughter.
! Sir stranger said be, 'misfor-
tune has overtakcn you! The
maiden whom you seek is &C.
cursed, and bcIiove me, if you love
your brother, if you wish that we
shall not have to deplore your
loss, give up, l implore you, this
foolish love and cease 10 visit her
whose first kiss causes DEATH
Although he said this with the
sincerity Of & friend and the emo
tiou Of a credulous man, these
warnings necessarily produced the
opposite effect from what was in
tended Ivy the worthy landlord,
and caused the young man to re-
double his attentions to the object
Of his lovo. ...~s
Directly opposite the shops Of
Cabard- and MiqueIon there lived
q locksmith named Gomire, who,
although Of good capabilities, was
neglected in business by his neigh
bors on account Of the poverty
and wretch hedness in which he man
aged to support himself and his
eight children. On the evening
of which We speak, while he sat
in-his shop bewailing his fate and
envying the condition Of bis more
fortunate opposite neighbors, be
saw Julio, who had: just left bis
brother at the inn, dart eagerly
into the barber's house. The
young Spaniard was richly dress
ed and bore every mark Of wealth
and rank upon him. This sight
caused the locksmith pang as be
contrasted Julio's position in life
with bis own inability to provide
bread tor his children. YET. he
said to himself, as an idea occurred
to him, Julio is doubtless benevo-
lent, as he is young and rich. l
will wait till he leaves the BARRIERS
house and follow him short dis
tance. from this quarter, where l
will beg bis sympathy and assis-
iaoce. With this resolve the poor
man waited in vain for Julio's
appearance, and nine hours had
passed before he relin Quished in
tears his fruitless task. Daylight
was dawning and he was about to
awaken his starving children
when Chapolard hastily entered
the place with the morning salu-
tation on his lips, stopping short,
however, with astonishment at
the locksmith's pale and haggard
countenance. His charitable heart
was moved at the others tale Of
distress and he willingly lent Co.
mire sufficient money to aid him
in his necessities. But come with
me- he said, and bring your
keys. The young Lord Andrea
has need of your services to have
opened his box Of valuabIes, the
key of which bis brother has taken
with him
With these words the two start
ed for the inn, where they found
Andrea in a high state Of ez-
citement.
Can any one comprehend the
actions of my brother p said be.
1T has been nine hours since he
left the inn, and although he knew
we'll that | had need this morning
to use some valuable papers in
this box he has sent me no word
nor has be returned the key g.
Your pardon, my lord,' said
Gomire, 'but l saw last evening
the Lord Julio, your brother, en-
tor the house Of the barber,
Cabard, and | have not seen him
come out, although l waited for
him the entire night, in order to
beg assistance from him.
Abr said the landlord, 4 pre-
dicted we'll. Satan has seized this
rash youth in the same way that
be has carried off one by one the
former lovers Of this young WITCH
Satan, indeed mul INJURED Co.
rnire-a fearful suspicion crossing
his mind as be recalled to mind
the mysterious groans and sounds
be had heard at times issuing
from the vaults of his uelghbors'
houses Satan, indeed it is not
the devil that has disposed OF
those unfortunates, but it is sure
