rear of that immense structure. whore he

rear of that immense structure, whore he
halted
In one Of the basement windows he now
saw second light 1t was very dim
light, and could not be seen few yards
from the building. Allen supposed it was O
light used by some of the servants engaged
in their household duties. Though he list
ened long and carefully, no sound, not even
the ticking of clock, could be heard. Long
he stood gazing through the basement win
dow down into the dimly-lighted room.
His perseverance received it's reward at
last. A pale, ghostlilke form in long white
robe glided across the room. It made no
more noise than feather being waited
across the floor by the breath Of q playful
child.
Despite his skepticism on supernatural
questions, Allen telt cold chills running up
his spine, while his hair seemed to almost
stand upon end. That light became paler
and more ghost-lilze, and he could hardly be-
heve he was not gazing upon beings of an
other world. Spell-bound he stood gazing
at that mystic figure gliding as noiselessly
about the room as if it foated upon air. He
put his hand upon the window which was
half above and half below the surface of the
ground, and found it protected by iron bars,
effectually preventing ingress or egress.
"The house is prisoml' thought Allen.
The old bastile could not have looked more
grim and terrible than that house on this
dark night.
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1889-01-16

He went to another window which he also
found barred, but it was so intensely dark
within that he could at first sec nothing. AS
his eyes became more accustomed to the
gloom, he made out an object, that seemed
moving about within. Was it man or beast2
Slowly it drew nearer and nearer to the
window, until a pair of great hollow eyes
seemed gazing into his face. Was it man or
monsters Never had he seen such face,
never beheld such blazing eyes, as now
glared at him from the darkness Of that
mysterious chamber. Frozen with strange,
unknown horror, the adventurer stood gaz-
ing into that face.
Suddenly wild, demoniacal laugh seemed
to shake the old building to its foundation
stones. The spell which chained Allen was
broken, and he started back with half
suppressed exclamation of terror.

CHAPTER TX.
CHARGED WITH TREACHERY.

CHARGED WITH TREACHERY.
Despite all his courage and all his skep-
ticism in ghosts, Allen Gray was so overcome
with terror that he shrank from the win
dow. That horrible creature that glared at
him through the iron bars could not be hui
man.
He had run across the lawn in the garden
before he could collect his wits sufficient to
remember where he was He was hasten
ing through the garden when he discovered
figure in white entering summer house.
Allen came to an abrupt halt On that
figure gided until it had disappeared inside
tho summer house. Then issued therefrom
low, musical voice, sweeter by far tran
the fairy's shell-in plaintive song Like
the enchanted boatman, he drew nearer to
listen. The air was new to him, and, the
words being in French, he could not under
stand them.
The singer scarce spoke above whisper,
yet each note was distinct and clear. His fear
Was gene in moment, and he stood thrilled
with pleasure at sound of that familiar
voice. The fair singer he had recognized as
Bertha, and he determined not to go away
without another attempt, at least, to have an
interview with her.
"Oh, Bertha, Bertha If Icould only take
you from this prison and make you happy,
should feel that my work in life was ac-
complishedW
He reached the summer house, and fear
ing that an abrupt entrance might brighten
her, he went to the rear and halted within a
few feet of where the beautiful singer sat.

NEW HopE, Dover Tp., July

NEW HOPE, DOfeT D., July O. ED. DEMOCRAT:
 The prospect for cotton is much better than it was two weeks ago; it is growing nicely. l think that this part of the country will average three. fourths of a stand. The weed is rather small, but forming nicely. Prospect for corn very good. Oats an average crop.
 Fruit only tolerably good. Plenty of it, but much of it IS wormy, espec ially peaches.
 On the 9th inst, Mir. s. W. Eu. banks lost his youngest child, boy, some two and half months old. It was buried at New Hope church. They have the sympathy of numer- ous friends.
 l learn that there was a young man drowned In Big Piney yester- day, near the l. J. Jones place, by the name of George Ross. He was a German. l have not the partIcu lars, more than quite a number of boys were bathing in the creek at the same time. His body was re- covered a short time after he was drowned.
 According to previous appointment there was a re union of the Trestram and Peggy Rye (deceased) family on the 4th inst, at. s. H. Rye's, in Martin township. The occasion was one of much pleasure to all concern ed. There were present Mir. and Mrs. Wm. T. Rye and family, of Martin township, Alex. Bringle and wife, J. c. Bonds and wife, Mrs. Maggie Winningham and Miss Mary WInngham, of Dover township; J. A. Russell, wife and child, Dr. Chas.
