I was a going le to hard for answered Valter throwing his hair from his fore- Carry had once told him that he liked that action of his and with he unconscious vanity of the beloved was constantly repeating it now I have always understood that it is dangerous to ride fast down George Grey hesitatingly He was a conscientious little and did not like to speak as if he things of which he was profoundly ig- It is not over answered W ter carelessly Then why did you do it Carry ex- claimed impulsively pausing in the very act of cutting the damson tart I was in a hurry Miss was the answer and Carry blushed to the roots of her hair meeting the Mr Smith Butler was content and looking across the table to Walter said sneeringly One of your follies us usual Mr you Not very unlikely though sir was said Walter laughing Very unlikely indeed I should Mr Butler I gave way to the absurdity to satisfy you I never thought it likely myself Thank yon said Walter quite and Carry put in: it is ways better to sift things if without laughing On the whole then this Christmas Eve dinner was a rather a troubled and uncomfortable matter Mr Butler paid George Grey marked op- enly slighted Walter while Carry would not speak much to the one and dared not to the other making up in kind looks for what she was obliged to forego in words And so they wore still in that blissful state of early love when the very of is happiness enough even under the jealous of a hundred eyes were happy enough and for the other Mi1 was too arbitrary to fear and George Grey to timid to de- mand The evening went hotter Carry ed and sung while her uncle dozed and George Grey stared at the fire but Walter turned the pages for her and put in a bass when her voice needed the support And the warmth and music and brilliant lighting of the room that subtle glow of Christmas time which all the innocent and py made them forget the storm raging out of if reminded they blessed it as shipwrecked seamen bless the wind that drives them into port while making them also so lovingly confident ef the future sure that their happiness would some day bo perfected At last it came to an end and the party separated Walter and Carry more iu love than ever and reso lute and happier and George Gre deeply and profoundly wretched Ant as separated Smith Butler snid fretfully That fellow has quite shak en my nerves I shall dream o him I know and very likely have th nightmare An ill-looking dog I won what has become of Well uncle did you dream of th said Carry the next morning Yes I answered sourly and what ii more I could have takei my oath I heard stealthy footstep about the passage and the din door unlock and open Oh uncle i laughed tho girl w ha a fancy I suppose it was a fancy Caroline id Smith Butler But it wa I see no way of accounting for it o Banks you may go and here take lis mess down stairs and never let me ee a pigeon pio on my table join as long as I live do you Banks and his master was right there as no accounting for such an inary phenomenon so the fact as before unexplained and in- fact of a midnight among them which had satisfied soil on Smith Butler's own peculiar even into his larder nd violating the sanctuary of his aret So the thing remained but er brought a little serenity to the host y offering to search the house after breakfast and make sure o one was concealed within its walls then Mr Butler felt glad that ay was us bad if not worse than erday and said quite cordially fyr im We be obliged to keep over onr poor see Mr it is impossible or you to face such weather as it is He thought that if they were locked ip with a burglar it was quite as well o have Walter's strong arm and courage to help them through Grey being but and he but a poor creature owing to lis health Banks not be d servants never are and ay living out of the house at the end f the garden with his wife the y laundress and his brother tho y gardener Walter bowed and and ed rather red and thanked Carry's nn cle warmly and after breakfast they sll went through the ceremony o the house thoroughly They made quite a formidable part three gentlemen and Banks anc they everywhere save in Carrie of course peering George Grey into every especially reat in looking behind window shutters and chests of drawers an other places leaving a clear space o about a couple of inches or KO bu tairs and again devoured Smith ers viands and drank his brandy and is wine And while he ate and drank i his wolfish silence and he glared round at the les m the and handling pistol concealed in his picket said 11 a hoarse whisper to himself Ah ve shall have a rare swag when the inie Then he crept back to is laic again and carefully locking the oor after him with a bat could lock and unlock most pulled over him a pile of rugs borrowed from the and turning round on his side vent to sleep snoring On the next morning the scene of yesterday was in a measure had food been eaten and wine Irank by some one on the premises getting np in the dead of the to satisfy his unearthly craving and still the mystery as to who it was and wi as dense as ever Even ter was puzzled and Carry a litte rhile the servants were scared is if there was a real live ghost among them and George Grey was edly frightened of his own shadow As mystery of his for Mr Butler this second completed the prostration He sat in his study all the day Ills head bent on his breast his hands drumming restlessly on the table and his very sense strained like the senses of a man in incipient brain fever to catch the faintest sound or u.s f anything Bnt the house was as still as tho tomb save for the occasional bursts of music from the or the quick ening step of a scurry ing the passages as if pursue by a specter The theory of ghosts no eating brought but little comfort t and when Banks in his quality ridiculed their fear of burglars and the like reminding them ot that through the house not a few among them shared George Grey's ideas

tinted and by this time Carry ed by the shots had rushed ioto thi calling her uncle's name and Walter's to a ghastlier sight than i had ever dreamed of even by this time George Grey had been pulled out from under where lie had hidden set to such work as he could perform by Banks who now that he had only prostrate foes to deal with and was master of the tion came out grandly and by this time poor Smith Butler demanded cial care for he lay is if dead para- with terror and it was long be- fore he could be restored So now there was enough to do in the house and every one must work with a will Of the three men ded not one was vitally hurt but the two who had been shot were disabled but no more while Walter's knife stab just escaping the heart and ing the lungs was ot infinitely worse complexion However things all wore round in time The doctor was Bent for and the constable and between tho two the inmates and the disturbers of were pretty well for Almost as soon as it was light lay George Grey crept crestfallen Carry did not care to conceal her disdain for that cowardly ict of cowardly it must have to her rushing into the very idst of danger to bear her part with the rest and

going round to where her uncle sat warming his feet aud spreading out his hands to the blaze she laid her fresh round cheek on his sallow forehead and ingly I did not mean to be ful uncle Which does not alter the fact though it may modify its meaning returned that gentleman Then Banks coming in with the urn they placed themselves at the the table and the breakfast began both Walter and Geo Gray internally convulsed with love each in his own way and longing to have been that grim and ored uncle if only for the bliss of that ore sweet caress Suddenly Mr Butler spoke line of the midnight consume Butler's pigeon pie There was a small kind of a dust hole in th further ret which they did not enter The was locked and the key had been lost these twenty years Smith Butler said so they passed that by as labor lost indeed to stir np the dust of ty years though Walter would havo got the door open by some means or other had he been allowed to do so but Mr Butler who had become tired by this time was peevish and cross and so they all streamed down stairs laughing at the whole affair and even George Grey putting in his perky little word of scoffing courage so fearfully like a bantam's crow What a strange day it was this mas Here they were actually snowed and unable to get a en yards from tho house Bay the coachman had attempted to get to the road had been obliged to turn back again

the vicinity of the Church of St little fellow who could only with difficulty make his way thro was violently jostled by a who was passing so that his basket tipped and fell to the ground with its contents The poor lad when he saw his eggs all broken and tumbled into the nutter began to cry bitterly and wring bin hands A person who happened to be in the crowd that ered round the fellow drew a ten sou piece from his pocket and giving it to the boy asked the rest who stood grouping around to do the same to make up the loss occasioned by Influenced by this example every one present complied and very the boy's apron contained a collection of copper and silver When all had contributed their quota onr young valet whose distress had vanished in a moment as though bv enchantment warmly thanked his new benefactors for their kindness and proceeded to count the ey he had received which amounted to no less than twenty-two franks centimes But instead of quietly putting this sum into his
