Freeman, who had passed rapidly from
one degree of bewilderment to another,
was actually relieved TO see, at last,
something that he could understand.
Mirinm--for some reason best known
TO herself-was about to do herself Il
mischief. He leaped forward, ca1ght
her in his arms, and snatched the knife
from her grasp.
For few moments she struggled
like Young tiger. And il was mar
vellous and appalling to hear two voices
come from her, in alienation, or con-
fusedly mingled. One said, LET me

cry that died away in shud-
dering sigh, the form of
flesh and blood, so mysteri-
ously possessed, ceased to struggle, and
sank back in Freemun's arms. His
own strength was well-nigh at an end.
He laid her on the ground, and, sitting
beside her, drew her head on his knee.
He had been in the land OF spirits, con-
tending with unknown powers and he
was faint in mind and body.
Yet he was conscious OF the APP
promoting tread of horses feet, and
recollected the hail that had come from
the desert. Soon doomed up the shadowy
figures Of mounted men, and they came
SO near that he was constrained TO call
