The policemen are looking forward 20 the APP
pointment of the four hundred specials with
much interest because they will have 20 break

COPYRIGHT, 1859.
HAPTER IN.

NuAK 16n Ill
The tall black chimneys stood out against
the gray October sky like ghostly silhou-
cites, and the evening breeze swept around
the lonely old structure when I arrived 1t
the Hall. The heavy shadows were trailing
over the neglected grounds and settling
themselves in scores Of uncanny hooks, and
1 shivered with Q nervous dread a. put
my hand on the great brass knocker Of the
western wing-the servants QuarterS-and
waited for a1mittance.
Heatherleich Hall stands desolated. The
building itself, Q stupendous, roomy affair of
red brick, with great festOons Of the native
English ivy wreathIng h dark gables, and
running over a Roodly portion of the front,
relieving the frowning severity Of the
weather-beaten and time-worn colonnade.
Three great yew trees, black Is the
shades OF death, hover over the extreme
western wing, and imagined the evils Of
the Hall concentrated their forces in the
heavy branches In the hours of sunshine,
and talke forth from their gloomy tops at
night on their mission Of terror.
The Railways are wide, deep and dark,
and the pOnderous doors Of heavy oak
changed o~minously after me As I slipped
from one apartment to another in W Of
the mystery.
Yes; 1 found there was q cruel legend
connected with this once grand old place,
which, for two centuries or more. sheltered
beneath its ample roof-tree the descend
ants Of the proud, hot-hesded Percival
house. But, under the influence of ~ N
cestra. malediction, they had dwindled
down and scattered abroad, leaving the old
Hall with but few inmates. finally Sir
Rupert and his daughter being the last le-
g;tlmate occupants.
Sir Rupert after the death OF his wife,
lived here alone in the great house with his
il,-fated daughter, keeping but q few serv-
ants out of the grand retinue OF former
years.
ter Sir Rupert was satisfied. As to being
happy, or even halfway joyous, he was
never after that stroke OF sorr0wful fort
une known to be; for all pleasure went
out into a blank solitude with the fight of
Lady Percival's gentle spirit.
The merry-makers and social visitors who,
in Lady Percival's time. thronged the hlth-
er.o couvivial atmosphere of Heatherleigh,
gradually dropped on after her demise,
never again to enter the hall as welcome
guests. Every thing changed at the Hall
under the masters regime, until, in time,
not q solitary visitor came to cheer or
break the silent mouOtOny OF its desolation.
Sir Rupert was given to morose and mel.
ancholy days, and it was NJ wonder, under
his spell, and grew to be an inhospitable
old gentleman who, in his seventeen year,
had come to ever dislike . merry face.
Miriam had but few associates or visit
ors that she dared entertain At the Hall on
this account; and under the influence Of
such di~stasteful solitude she grew taciturn
