The Ruin Among the Hills

Eut his curiosity concerning the sir1- erlar old man was only piqued by his re pulse. and he determined to follow him home one night and see if he could learn anything concerning him.
 This resolve he carried out and-Ay de mi,-fell head over heels in love and, as n natural consequence, into trouble.
 He fell in love with face-just a race seen at window and seen only for moment. But it was enough
 He followed the scholar out of the city along the shady banks of the Darro. along a lonely road that led among the hills The gloom of evening was gathered and it was quite dark when the old man stopped before the portal of an Isolated mansion.
 It appeared to be a mere wing, or rag ment, of a building which had once been of considerable consequence. The walls were of great thickness and the windows generally secured by iron bars.
 The door was of wood thickly studded with iron spikes. It had once been or great strength, but was now much de- cayed. At one end of the house was a tower of Moorish architecture.

more glimpses of that fair face. He saw and heard enough to pay him for his trip, though.
 From the tower he saw lights gleaming At first they were fitful and changing; then came occasional glares of a viyid, metallic colored followed by a dusky glow. A dense smoke would every now and then arise from the chimney of the tower and hang like cloud over it.
 Antonio was half inclined to believe that the country people were right and that the house was the abode of some power full necromancer who held in bondage fair and spell bound beauty.
 Then he took look at the window the flowers. The curtain was drawn, but 1t was so thin that he could see the shad- ow of someone passing and requesting be- tween it and the light which was in the room.
 Then he heard the sound of guitar and his soul was ravished by a clear, gentle voice which sang to the accom- paniment of the instrument plaintive, old Moorish ballad-the lament of the Abencerrages on leaving Granada. The voice ceased and the light went out.
 ''She sleepes, said Antonio, and went his homeward way while the rising moon flooded all the landscape with its TO- mantle light

The Scholars Secret

The old man was laid upon bed and, though he was badly burned and had been almost suffocated by the fumes of
 the chemicals with which he had been
 experimenting when the explosion took place, he revived after while, under the ministrations of his daughter, his
 servant and the young man who had res- cued him.
 | The fire in the stone laboratory had burned itself out, but all around lay , hattered and ruined implements such
 as were then used by searchers after the Elixir of Life and the Philoso- pher's Stone. It had been by the ex- plosion of retort that the havoc had been wrought.
 For the secret of the old scholar was this-that he was an alchemist. All of his mature life had been devoted to |.
 search for the secrets which he be- lieved to lie concealed in Nature which
 would enable him to transmute the
 baser metals into gold and to prolong
 human life.
 Through long and weary years had he pursued those will 70 the wisps
 which, in those days, and for so long
 before, lured on to fruitless labor and
 wasted lives men of the brightest in-
 tellects and most profound learning.

Buried Amid the Book

4 NToNIo DE CASTRoS wore the "A humble garb of student of Sala- 4 A manca and was, for the time being. sojourning in the city of Granada, pursuing a special course of reading In the library of the university.
 He frequently noticed in the library an old man of singular appearance. lean and wizened, though apparently more from study than from age. His eyes were bright, but shaded by his heavy, over hanging eyebrows His dress was rusty and threadbare; he wore. large over- shadowing hat and around his neck . small ruff.
 The old man spent whole days in the library. apparently pursuing with w.lity some particular subject through all its qualifications. and when Eight came would be almost buriea amid the books and manuscripts he had taken to con suit.
 Antonio tried to get into conversation with tf.e aged scholar but the old man said: 'sSenor you must see that I have but few more steps to the grave. In that short space I have to accomplish the whole business of my existence. l have no time for words, every word Is A grain of sand in my glass wasted. Suf- fer me to be alone"

 When Washington Irving gave Brace bridge Hall" to the world he had already become famous by his publication of -he "Sketeh Book" which contained Rip Van Winkle' and 'The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" He published the Sketch Book in 1873, the next year went abroad and for the next five years, travelled exten- slvely in Europe.
 It was at this period that he wrote and published "Bracebridge Hall' and 'The Tales of Traveller" Bracebridge Hail' is written in Irvings most delightful vein-that quiet, soothing, gentlemanly style of which he was master; the ramp- Ing. desultory manner which was so much a part of the character and life, and so much the charm. of the man and his works. Irving makes us feel as If we really were living as guests at the old hall-as he was-and our host "a fine old English gentleman, all of the olden time"
 Into the narrative, also, he introduced by means of story telling around the evening fire-some of those charming An dalusian romances which so captivated his fancy and which came to their full fruition in his "Alhambra"

Help From a Stranger

When the aged alchemist recovered his senses he cried out wildly at first, Where am I?''
 And then, seeing his daughter, stretched out his arms to her, saying mournfully: My poor Inez; all is over with me. all gone, all vanished in a moment-the labor of a lifetime lost. '
 His daughter attempted to soothe him; and when his wounds had been dressed and he had sunk into a state of quiet Antonio turned his attentions to the daughter, whose ssrerings seem ed little inferior to those of her father and prevailed upon her to seek that re- pose which her agitated mind required
 T am but a stranger to you" said he, and my offer may appear obtru- sive; but see you are lonely and help less and I cannot help venturing over the limits of mere ceremony. I will willingly watch by your father all night. Should you feel any scrupIe or doubt. however, say the word and I will instantly retire."

The Alchemist's Romance

The old man was a native of Cas- tile; he had married Moorish woman and had, for that. been practically dis inherited by his father, although the lady came of the line of the Abencer- rages. The father had, however, left the son scanty estate upon which he was just able to live.
 His wife had died soon after Ine2 had been born, and the alchemist had come to live and pursue his exper1- ments in the ruined place where An tonic had found him.
 All this Antonio learned when he be- came an inmate of the household oi Don Felix de Vasquez.
 On the evenings when the student and the alchemist walked and talked together in the garden Inez used tt walk there also. It was the only re creation which she permitted herself in her secluded life.
 As Antonio walked by the side oi Don Felix, listening to his peripatetit lectures he would O..en catch a glimpse of Inez walking pensively about 1T the dim alleys in the soft twilight.
 Sometimes they would meet unex- pectedly, and the heart of the student would throb with agitation. A blush too would crimson the cheek of Inez but still she would pass on and never join them
