tious awe, which he fought nanfully to re-
! Sist, kept creeping over him.
| For moment he paused under the very
tree where he had seen the object Of his af
| fections bathcd in tears To him it was hal
| lowed ground.
"Oh, Bertha, Bertha, arc you still miser-
ablet" he asked himself fixing his eyes on
the gloomy old castle like house, lie was
inside the wall almost before he know it,
and did not find it very difficult to induce
himself to 60 quito up TO the house and try
to learn something of its inmates. He fol-
lowed IA path leading through a garden, I'M
der some lcafy bowers, until he came to the
rear OF that immense structure, where he
| halted
In one of the basement windows he now
saw second light 1t was o very dim
light, and could not be seen a few yards
from the building. Alien supposed it was q
light used by some of tho servants engaged
in their household duties. Though he list
cned 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 dilaly-lightod room.
His perseverance received its reward at
last. A pale, ghostlilIe form IN long white
robe glided across the room. 1t made no
more noise than feather being waited
across the floor by the breath of q playful
child.
Despite his skcpticism 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-like and he could hardly be-
lieve he was not gazing upon beings of an
other world. Spellbound he stood gazing
at that mystic figure gliding as noiselessly
about the room as If it floatcd 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 ingrcss or cgress.
"7he house is a pr.Soni" thought Allen.
| The old bastilc could not have looked moro
grim and terrible than that house on this
dark night.
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 beast
Slowly it drew nearer and nearer to the
window, until a pair CT great hollow eyes
seemed gazing into his face. Was it man OF
monsteri Never had he seen such face
never behold such blazing eyes, as now
glarcd ut him from the darkness Of tina,
mysterious chamber. Frozen with strange
unknown horror, the adventurer stood gag
ing into that face.
Suddenly wild, dcmoniacal laugh seemed
to shake the old building To its foundation
stones. The spell which chained Allen wa!
broken, and he started back with q half
suppressed exclamation of terror.

CHAPTER TX.
CHARGED WITH TRaAcaERY.

CHARGED WITH TRsACdENf.
Despite all his courage and all his slsep-
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
q figure in white entering summer house
Allen came to an abrupt halt. On that
figure glided until it had disappeared inside
the summer house. Then issued therefrou
a low, musical voice, sweeter by far than
the fairy's shell-in q 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 spo'se above whisper,
yet each note was distinct and clear. His fear
was gone in a 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 40
complishedr'
He reached the summer house, and fear
ing that an abrupt entrance might frightcr
her, he went to the rear and halted within i
few feet of where the beautiful singer sat

Slight clouds almost completely obscurng

HAPPY NEW YEAR.
How the Day Was Celebrated in olden
Times.

The custom Of celebrating the first
day OF the year by religious observances.
as we'll as festal Tejoicings, long prevail
ed among most of the ancient nations.
The Jews. the Egyptians, the Chinese.
the Romans. aud the Mohammedans,
although differing as 10 the time from
which they reckOied the beginning Of
the year, AL regard il as day OF especial
interest.
About midnight. in England and else
where. the bells are sOlemnly tolled as
the old year gradually departs. then ring
out more JOYOUS peals as the New Year
enters in. st New j ear 5 loyal subjects
Of England present their sovereign with
gifts according TO their means-masterB
TO the servants, and friends and rela-
tiyes 10 one another.
In Paris gentlemen frequently, when
calling New Years Day, present little
gifts Of choice jewelry or gloves done up
aud hidden IN pretty boxes Of Ion Dons
to the hostess. But in all countries the
principal way Of celebrating :he day is
10y feasting, calling and gift-making.-
And il certainly is beautiful custom TO
hail beloved friend with the heartfelt
wish Happy New Year to lOuln The
greeting strengthens the ties Of kindred
aud friends, Ienews estranged hearts and
causes them to glow with kindly feelings
as the cordial wish is uttered.
In our own little city there is no doubt
that the custom Of previous years will
speed the parting of the old, and greet
the coming of the New Year. At mid
night the steeple bells will ring and their
chimes send forth their melody, cannons
will boom aud the boats i'm the harbOr
whistle, the young people shout, blow
horns, ring bells and you can almost
fancy you can see '96 making his bow Of

The Misses Phillips Give Novel So
cial at Their House.

The Misses Phillips entertained a
number of 5heir young friends ut their
residence on Mar ket street last night.
A novel and engaging form OF amlse-
ment and entertainment during p0r-
ton of the evening was the game or

and these were collected at the close of
the game and judged according to their
merit and correctness. The first sense
represented was Seeing" The COM
pany was blindfolded and the judges
heaped various articles on a table at
which a signal WAS given to ''see" and
the things were quickly removed, the
company getting down the different ar
ticles they had seen in the given time.
And in this manner the game progressed.
The guests were blindfOlded, the objects
and articles were passed around for
Feeling, Tasting and Smelling. Much
amusement was caused in tasting of va
rious articles such as pepper, ginger,
soda, cream of tartar, cinnamon, and
properly guessing them. Also in smell
ling camphor, coal oil, and mucilage the
latter coming in contact with some
noses. In feeling some sharp object,
such as an egg breaker, much amuse-
ment was afforded by one young man
who persisted in endeavoring to find out
what it was, and stuck his fingers in
consequence. Many guessed correctly
the objects sounded in Hearing and the
first and second prizes were awarded to
