A HAND IN TNE DARK.
By MRS. ETA F. MARTIN.

"Lucky fellow p
The words involuntarIy passed my
lips as threw myself into the luxurious
easy chair drawn up temptngy before
the open CRATE. They applied equally
to Tom and myself. Tom was a lucky
fellow, certainly--thc master of the
grange and tht husband Of charming
woman-and I counted myself almost
equally fortunate in my freedom from
business cares for three whole weeks,
and the prospect Of unlimited fishing
and driving.
Cousin Tom had recently inherited a
fortune | was still ploddmg alone in
London but for three weeks of liberty
/ determined to enjoy all the blessings
the gods had voucEsafcd me, and to
imagine myself, for the once, as rich
and happy as Tom himself
Although it was early fall the nights
were a little keen, and Constance
Toms wife-had ordered a fire in my
room, the cheerful blaze giving to the
richly furnished apartmcnta delightful
touch Of warmth and cozlness.
With such Il fire and such a chair,
and with my favorIte evening paper IN
my pocket, retiring was not to be tho't
of; SO drawing to my chair table on
which stood il shady lamp l gave myself
up to the perusal Of my journal.
Over the long parliamentary report
| must have gone to sleep, and when |
awoke the lamp had burned itself out,
and but few sparks remained of the
chcery fire. The room was not in total
darkness, for there was moon, hidden
by clouds, to be sure, but still throwing
enough light at the wide Windows to
make things dimly visible.
On the instant awakening felt that
some one was near me, and, with that
startled feeling one has on awakening
suddenly from a sound sleep, 1 cried
out: "Who's there ?"
No answer came, and the only sounds
were the tapping OF Il tree branch
against the window and the ticking Of
the clock over the fireplace.
Still l was conscious that somebody
--something--was near me, and held
my breath, straining MY ears to catch
some sound that should reveal the in
truder, but only the top Of the tree
branch and the tick of the clock broke
the silence.
remembered that there we're match
es on the table, and turned my chair
to search for them. An exclamation of
astonishmcnt rose to my lips as | did
so, for on the surface of the table was
strange luminous spot-neither lamp
light, freight nor moonlight.
Up to this time my feeling had been
one of annoyance rather fear, but there
was something so lndescrlbable, SO
supernatural, about this light that a
sudden terror seizeh me, and gazed as
one fascinated, unable to move.
A card and pencil had taken from
my pocket lay ON the table, and over
this the light grew brighter, and IN the
midst hand appeared-a woman's
hand, delicate and beautiful but Of
deathly whiteness, and on the third fin
ger cleaned ruby, the stone held
between two golden srrpents heads
