And all btqod panic-stricken, as thoy

It was she, Sybil, tho necusod, whose

than tho dying woman had done; for
she stood there, wtlll in hor fiery mas

blazing, her wild black hair iooso und

and grasping a blood-stained dagger.
"0, wretched woman I most wrotch

Her story hnil evidently iiuidu u very

exclaimed:
"Good Heavens ! that lady'a mistak

But tho soar cli proved fruitless. No

Furthermore, all tho windows wcro

been no way .of entering the murdered

Captain Pendleton, nn old lover of
Hyoirs, nnu n orotuer or Jiertnx, saw
that thero was no safety excopt in in

take Sybil to her' room, and then to
meet him on thu back piazza. ThI3 was
done, uml then tho captain unfolded his
already matured plans. Lyon adopted
them at once; mid under tho skillful
management of Captain Pendleton and
Beatrix, they got out Of thoho'uib un

towards a phico of concealment, known

Into a deep sleen. as thoiiuh thev had
,been drugged with some powerful nar-

him outside tho chupol in alarm.
Sybil left nlono in tho Haunted Chap
el, centlnued to sleep soundly.- How
long sho had slept sho novor could tell,
when she was suddenly and fearfully
aroused. ,
She felt hands at work about hor per
son. They wero creeping under her
shoulders and under her limbs; they
wero lVtlng her from her mattress.
Her eyes llarcd open in wild affright,
and sho saw two black shrouded forms,
tho' ono at her haul the other at lier
feet.
Sho tried to cry out in her agony of
lurrur, uui nur voico uicu away in ner
bosom, and all hor nnwera seemed nnl.

on great heaven ! whither "
Tp tho open door of tho vault under

a spectral light gleamed !

steps, nnd laid her on tho deadlv iloor !
Tho Iron door clanged loudly' toro
sounding through tho dismal arches.
"Wo have her now!" muttered a
hoarso VOltO. A hollow I.aimli

Anil Sybil swooned with horror!
Whon Svbll recovered from imp

spacious cavern of Bueh exceeding beau

Iostsiglit of her terrors in her astonish
ment nnd admiration, nnd then hop
oyos settled uponarlguro who seemed
mo soio occupant, or tho place.
This was n vouiiir uirl. who. with her
red cloak thrown mat-liko on the moss,
wiu araira upon it cross-ieggeu in tno
Turkish fashion. Her cltln' face, her
malign eyes, her wild, black hair and

that ono might havo deemed her the
spirit of tho cavern.
Tno two women looked at each other
In silencofor norhnns hairu mlnnt.n!
und then Sybil spoko:

"One question at a time," answered

"Ho was the mildest mannered mini

Sybil had passed tho day In the robbers'

astoulahed hor by stating that tho cap

masquerade Lato in tho afternoon,

al orthorobbera appeared, with Moloch,

with wine, ho took a seat by tho sldo of

Sybil struggled in terror, and the

'Vo nover meddle between other

And the robber captain stood umon

mufrli nlnrmcd; nnd not so much by the
noI)y orgies of these rudo revellers, as
by tho dreadful gazo or Moloch fixed
upon her from tho opposite end of tlio
tublo whero ho sat, and tho ollenslvo
language of Satan's oyes wlicnovcr
they turned towards her.
At length, unaulo to bear tho trial
longer, sho nroso from hor seat, and
courtcsylng to thoso brigands as she
would havo dono to nny set of gentle
inah of whom sho was taking leave.
Sybil loft tho cavern, followed by Ocn
tlllska, tho gipsy girl.
"I must tako you to another grotto.
You cannot occupy mluo to-night,"
said tho girl, with evident reluctance.
"But. oh ! whv. whv mnv r tint ntnv
with you? I am nfrald to sleop nlono
in tins tcrriblo nlaeol" nlenileil Hvb
'I have a reason, but I cannot tell it
to you now. kos.t win, tool Twill
tel you at all risks I Then it Is this;
My chamber Is not safe for you I I my
self am not strong enough to protect
you 1 You might bo carried off forci
bly, from my sldo! I must hldo you
whoro no devil may find you to-night!"
whispered tho girl.
"Oh, do not leavo mo hero nlono !"
pleaded Sybil. "If I must stay, stay
with mo 1 I do not fear death ; but oh I
I fear tlicso men I Do not leavo mo I"
"I must, for your own safety. They
must not miss mo, or their .suspicions
will bo aroused."
Then pointing to' a bed of moss nnd
recommending her guest to lio down'
and seek repoie, the gipsy girl glided
away through tho labyrintfi of eaves
and was lost to sight nnd hearing.
Sybil's first lmpulso waS' to start up
andrunnfterheri.hostcssf'but sho re
strained iierself.'and sank half fainting
upon tho hean of .moss."..
Thero was but a faint sparkling of
limn m mo cavo, coming irom a crovico
in tho roof through which tho moon
light entered. - ' -
"Seek rep03o," had been tho advice
of Gontiliska. 1
Sybil dared not seek it If silo could,
and could not havo found it If sho had.
Hour after hour passed in trnnco-liko
stillness nnd silence; when at length
shofanclcd sho heard acrcoplng.stealthy
step approaching. Nearlv frozen with
terror, sho listened nnd watched, moro
intently than over. Alone, helpless, in
darkness and solitude, what horrid fate
must she meet? Tho creeping, cautious
footstep drow nearer, nearer !
Oh, Heaven! it was no fancy! Tho
ontranco of tho cavern was moro deeply
darkened for ono moment, nnd then the
hugo form of Moloch stood within tho
cavern nnd nearly filled it up.
Paralyzed with horror, Sybil could
neither movo nor cry out not oven
when tlio monster approached her, rind
puthlsprofano hand upon her face. Tho
above is all of this story that will bu
