CHAPTER TX.
Darinu and Resolute Lover.

OdIuI9 nCoOlOIV IOvSis
The torch light carried by the per-
son whose approach had startled Clar-
ence SOON enabled the young man to
recognize the swarthy and savage
features of Neil Bashfort, who had re-
turned to seek for his knife, which had
fallen from it's sheath near the open
ing of the door of the well-room.
Evidently this was Bashfort's only
purpose in returning, yet he paused
| moment and gazed at the dark and
yawning mouth of the pit.
"I wonder" he said, framing his
thoughts into spoken words, IF the
spirit of the sorcerer will ever return
to haunt my dreams like that of the
young gentleman killed at York does?
Sometimes I think I see the face of
that man in the dark places about
| me- he added, rolling his eyes about
him. 1T is very strange, too. It
would take some time, to number on
my fingers all who have passed from
life to death by my plotting; yet nev-
er has the face of any one of them
| haunted my thoughts nor my dreams,
save the face of him across whose
| throat I drew my knife as he slept in
! the Boar inn at York. And twice this
day has the image of that man thrust
| dreadful terror upon my soul-twice!
He shuddered as he spoke. A slight
| noise in the we'll shaft startled him.
! He drew nearer to the opening, held
! his torch so that it's radiance fell far
down within the shaft, peered down
| and listened.
Rats" he said; "monstrous rats!
! The place swarms with them. saw
| many yesterday, and wondered why
| they were here among the ruins, and
what they fed upon. If the body Of
Sosia ever rises, these four-footed ras-
! Gals will have merry feast upon him.
| But l must away to prepare supper
! and dinner, all in one, for my lord and

He turned, and, passing between the
| skeleton uprights, which alone re-

| which Clarence was concealed.

York. more than twenty years before.
! and he uttered them aloud, in low,
growing tone, as he gathered an arm
full Of laths and splinters, yet loud
| enough to be heard by Clarence.
''Twice to-day" said Bashfort, have
felt that horrible terror that always
grapples my heart and makes a cow
| ard of me when I see the face of the
young man whose throat cut at York.
| First, l dreamed of it as slept on the
! bench this morning on the platform of
