darkness, l came to a stairway as
cending which and passing through
an open doorway, found myself in a
large, oblong-shaped room, with an
unusually high ceiling, fitted with sew
eral large sky(ights, evidently intend
ed to supplement the light afforded
by the somewhat narrow windows, To-
Gated at regular intervals along two
sides of the room.
In the center of the room stood a
long table, with a marble slab for a
top, and ranged about it were a num-
ber of straight backed chairs and
benches, from which I judged that
the apartment had been used as a dis
secting room by the medical students.
':All this I discerned by the lurid
flashes of lightning, which occasion
ally lighted up the rocm from over
head.
AFTER a hasty survey, l wrapped
myself in my blankets, keeping on
my uniform and sword, and, lying
down on the floor, was soon in the
land of dreams.
81 had looked at my watch just
before lying down. 1t was then exact
ly eleven O'Clock. How long I slept
l know not. l suddenly awoke with
a strange feeling of dread My heart
was humping violently, and I could
feel my hair standing on end from
fright
Raising myself on my elbow, l
glanced searchingly around the room.
The air was filled with a peculiar,
phosphorescent light, by which was
enabled to clearly discern even the
smallest objects.
presently, at the further end OF
the apartment. door which I had
not before seen, swung open, and
four uniformed men entered, carrying
a nude body on stretcher, followed
by a procession of about thirty.
Three times they marched, SOL
emnly and slowly, around the room.
AS they passed me I perceived that
the corpse was stained and bloody,
as if recently slain in battle l also
discovered, to my horror, that the
forms which at first, / had mistaken
for men, were skeletons: They were
dressed in the regular French uni
form; but beneath each visor, instead
Of the bronzed face of a soldier, there
was a grinning skull. +. S.=s=s 5.ss=.54

AFTER the third circle of the room
had been completed they deposited
their ghastly burden On the table pre-
viously mentioned. -. = IS = j.
Then one of the ghostly throng un-
rolled uniform which was strapped
to his knapsack, and, with the. as
sistance of his companions, dressed
the body in it.
when this operation was complet-
ed, the leader of the spectral crew
stepped to the table, and, bending over
it, he made number of mystic signs;
then, ~whirling slowly around three
times, he stamped his right foot and
turned away. Immediately the form
arose from the table, gravely saluted
his leader, then passed slowly down
the line of his comrades, and took a
place at the foot of the ranks.
'The shadowy throng took up the
line of march toward the open door
by which they had entered the room.
At the threshold the leader paused
and turned his eyeless sockets in my
direction, and from them seemed to
emanate a baleful CLEAN that froze
my very marrow. Silently he motioned
to his followers, and in obedience to
the signal they turned and faced me.
"A shudder crept over me and the
blood rushed back on my heart as
l saw them reach for their scalpels.
Drawing them simultaneously, they
raised the cleaning blades aloft and
bore swiftly down on me like a bayo-
net charge Springing to my feet, l
drew my sword, and, swinging it in
a circle around my head, rushed
among the SHELTON warriors and
forced passage, though when l
reached it l held in my right hand
nothing but the hilt of my trusty
weapon
with flying leap I cleared the
stairs and hurried from the building.
Hastening to the camp l awoke my
terminate and related my narrowing
experience; but he calmly remarked
that it served me right for not listen
ing to his advice, and then rolled over
and resumed his interrupted slumbers.

shivering from cold and from the
horrible experience had been
through, until morning.
LAS soon as daylight appeared a
party of us visited the deserted col
lege, and found the broken blade of
my sword near badly-dented seat
in the room where the strange events
had taken place. My blankets were
found on the floor where had aban-
doned them: in my hurried flight from
the building; but when We examined
the door through which I had seen
the skeleton band enter, much to my
surprise it was found locked and
bolted; furthermore, there as no key
in the rusty lock, and after careful
scrutiny We found no visible evidence
that the door had been recently op-
ened- Neither had the accumulated
dust of weeks on the heavy marble
topped table been disturbed; yet moth.
