Twenty Yoara Ago.
I've wandered to the village, Tomj I'venat be-
ntntli the tree.
Upon tho ichool homo jiluy around, which shel
tered you nnd rue;
Hut nono were there to greet me, Turn, nnd few
were left to know.
That played with us u,Kn tho green, some twen
ty years nun.
The xrass 1 Just as green, Tom ; bare footed boys
nt play
Were sporting Just us we Old then, ltb spirits
juntos gay;
Hut tho "Master" sleeps upon tho hill, which.
coated o'er with snow.
Aflorded us a sliding place, Juit twenty yotrs
The old sch xl house In altered some; the bench
es aro replaced
lly new ones, very like the same our penknlves
had ueracod.
Hut the Mime old bricks nro In the wall ; the bell
swings to nnd fro,
Its muale Just tho same, dear Tom, 'twas twenty
years ago.
Tho boys were pluylng some oldgimo, beneath
that same old tree ;
I do form t tho name Just now you've played
tho Kntuo with me
On that Brtmo spot; 'twas plncd with knlvcf, by
throwing to and so ;
The leader had a tattle to do there, twenty years
ego.
The river's runulng Just anKtlll: the willows on
its side
Aro larger than they were, Tom; the stream np
pears less wide
j llul the grape-vino swing Is ruined now, where
once we played tho beau,
And swung our sweethearts "pretty gtrls1
Just twenty years ago.
The spring that bubbled 'neath the hill, closu by
the spreading beech
Is very low 'twas onc so high, that we could
hardly reach
And, kneeling down to get n drluk.denr Tom, I
started so,
To see how much that I nm changed, alnca twen

Near by tho spring, upon an elm, you know I
cut your name,
Your sweetheart's Just beneatti It, Tom, and you
did mine tho same:
Some heartless wretch had peeled the burk, 'twas
dying bure but slow,
Just as that one, whose name you cut, died twen
ty years ngo.
My lids have long been dry, Torn, but tears come
In my eyes
I thought of her I loved f o well those early Lro-
ltcn tics
Mlsitcd tho old ehurch'yard, nnd took some
flowers to strew
Upon the graves of tho.o we loved some twenty

THE INVISIBLE EYE.
FROM THE
FRENCH OF
C1IATRAIN.
ERCKMANN-
(tONCLCDED.)
Notlilnp; could bo more sinister than
tho tlcn now spread out before mo a
great court-ynrd,tlio large slabsof which
wero covered with moss; in ono corner,
a well.whoso stagnant waters you shud
dered to li.ok upon ; it stairway covered
with o!d shells; at tho further end a
gallery, with wooden balustrr.de, mid
banging upon itsomo old linen nnd the
tick of an old straw-mattress : on tho
flitt lloor, to tho left, tho stone covering
of a common sower Indicated tho kitch
en : to tho right, the lofty windows of
the building looked out upon the street;
then a few pots of dried, withered flow
ersall was cracueii, somoro, moist.
Only one or two hours during the day
could the sun penetrate this loathsome
spot: after that, tho shadows took pos
session ; then thcsuiiMiino fell upon tho
crazy walls, tho worm-eaten balcony,
the dull and tarnished glass, nnd upon
the whirlwind of atoms floating In Its
golden rays, disturbed by no breath of
air.
I hud ,earcely finished these observa
tions mid reflections, when tho old
woman entered, having lust returned
from market. I heard tho grating of
her heavy door. Then bho appeared
with her basket. She seemed fatigued,
almost out of breath. Tho Inco of her
bonnet fell to her nose. With one hand
she grasped the banister, and ascended
tho stalrrt.
Tho heat was Intolerable, suffocating;
it was precisely ono of those days in
which all insects, crickets, spiders,
mosquitoes, etc. niako old ruins re
sound with their strange stings.
Eledermausseeroj-scd thogallery slow
ly, like an old ferret who feels nt homo.
Sliu remained moro than a quarter of
nn hour in the kitchen, then returned,

Could she, by sonio strange intuition,
suspect any thing? I do not know;
but I gently lowered the slate; and gnvo
up my watch for the day.
In Uiu morning, I' lcdermaueso appear
ed reassured, Ono nnglo of light fell
upon tho gallery. In passing, sho
caught 11 lly upon the wing, nud pre
sented It delicately to a spider establish-
cd In a corner of the roof. Tho spider
was so bloated, that, notwithstanding
tho distance, I saw it descend from
round to round, then glldo along u fine
ueb, like a drop of venom, selzo Its
prey from tho hands of tho old shrew,
nnd remount rapidly. Fledermnusse
looked nt it very attentively, with her
eyes half closed ; then sneezed, nnd said
to herself, In a leering tone, "God bless
you, beautiful one ; God bless you 1"
I watched duringslx weeks, and could
discover nothing concerning the power
of Eledermiiiisse. Soiiietliiies, seated
upon a stool, Jsliu Jpeeleil her potatoes,
then hung out her linen upon thu balus
trade. Sometimes I saw her spinning; but
sho never s.ing, ns good, kind old women
aro accustomed to do, their trembling
voices mingling well with tho hum
tiling nf tho wheel.
Rrofoiindsileucottlways relguedaround
her; sho bad no eat that cherished so
ciety of old women not oven u spar
row came to rot under her roof, It
seemed its If nil animated Nature shrunk
from her glance, Tho bloated spider
nlono look delight In her society,
I cannot now concelvo how my pa
tience could endure long hours of obser
vntion ; nothing escaped mo j nothing
was matter of indifference. At tho
sllglitost sound I raised my slato j my
curiosity was without limit, insatiable.
Tatibac complained greatly.
"Master Christian," said he. "how In
the dovll do you pass your Unit? Form
erly you painted something for ine
every week ; now you do not finish a
plcco onco a month. Oh, you painters I
Lazy as it painter' is a good, wise prov
erb. As soon as you havo a few kreut
scrs In possession, you put your hands
In your pockets nnd go to sleep I"
I confess that I had begun to loso
courage I had watched, spied, nnd dis
covered nothing. I snld to myself that
tho old woman could not bo so danger
ous ns I hail supposed; that I had per
haps dono her Injustieo by my suspi
cions; In short, I began to mako excuses
for her. One lovely ntcrnoon, witii
my oyo fixed at my post of observation,
I abandoned myself to theso benevolent
reflections, when suddenly tho scene
changed: Eledermausso passed through
tho gallery with the rapidity of light
ning. Sho was no longer tho samo per
son j sho was erect, her jaws wero clinch
ed, her glance fixed, her neck extended;
she walked with grand strides, her gray
locks floating behind her.
"Oh, at last," I snld to myself, "some
thing Is coining, attention 1" Rut alas,
tho shadow of evening descended upon
tho old building, tho noises of tho city
expired, and silence prevailed.
Fatigued nnd disappointed, I lay down
upon my bed, when, casting my eye3
toward my dormer-window, I saw tho
room opposlto illuminated. So ! n trav
ellcr occupied tho Green Room fatal
to strangers.
Now, all my fears reawakened ; tho
ngltntian of FIcdermausso was explain
ed sho scented a new victim.
No sleep for mo that night ; tho rust
ling of tho straw, the nibbling of the
mice under the floor, gavo mo nervous
chills. I roso and leaned out of my
window; I listened. Tho light in the
room opposlto was extinguished. In
ono of those moments of poignant anx
iety, I cannot say If it was illusion or
reality, I thought I saw tho old wretch
also watching and listening.
The night passed, nnd tho gray dawn
came to my windows ; by degrees tho
noise nnd movements in tho street as
cended to my loft. Harassed by fatigue
nud emotion I fell asleep, but my slum
ber was short, nnd, by eight o'clock, I
had resumed my post of observation.
It seemed ns If tho night had been as
disturbed and tempestuous to FIcder
mausso as to myself. When sho open
ed the door of tho gallery, I saw that
a livid pallor covered her cheeks and
thin throat; she had only her chemise
and a woolen shirt, a few locks of red
dish gray hair fell on her shoulders. Sho
looked toward my hidlng-placo with a
dreamy, abstracted air, but sho saw
nothing; sho was thinking of other
things.
Suddenly sho descended, leaving her
old shoes at the bottom of tho steps.
"Without doubt," thought I, "she is
going to seo if tho door bel jw is well
fastened."
I saw her remount hastily, springing
up threo or four steps at a time it was
terrible.
She rushed into the neighboring cham
ber, and I heard something llko tho
falling of a great chest; then FIcder
mausso nppeared upon tho gallery, drag
Ing n manikin after her, and this man
ikin was clothed llko tho Heidelberg
student.
With surprising dexterity, tho old
woman suspended this hideous object
to n lrcmn, then descended rapidly to
the court-yard to contempluto it. A
burst of sardonic Inughter escaped from
her lips; sho remounted, then descend
ed again like a maniac, nrd each time
uttered new cries and new bursts of
laughter.
A noise was heard near tho door, and
tho old woman bounded forward, un
hooked the inunikiu and carried it off;
then, leaning over tho balustrade with
her throat elongated, her oyea flashing,
she listened earnestly. Tho uolso was
lost in tho distance, tho muscles of her
faco relaxed, nnd sho drew long breaths.
It was only a earrlago which lind pass
ed. The old wretch hud been frightened.
Sho now returned to the room, and I
heard tho chest close. Tiusstraiigosceno
confounded all my Idea. What did
this manikin signify? I beauno more
than ever attentive.
FIcdermausso now left thohouso with
her basket on her aim. 1 followed her
with my eyes till she turned tho corner
of tho street. She had resumed thu air
of a trembling old woman, took short
htcps, and from time to time turned her
heitil partly around, to peep behind
from the coiner of her eye,
Fledermniisto was absent fully flvo
liours.For myself, Iwent,Icame,I medi
tated. Tho time teemed insupportable.
Tho sun heated tlioslatoof the roof, and
bcoiehed my brain.
Now I saw, at the window, tho good
man who occupied the fatalGroen Cham
ber ; lie was u bravo peasant of Nassau,
with it largo threo-eornered lint, a scar
let vest, and a laughing fuco; ho smok
ed tho pipe ol Ulin tranquilly, and
hcemed to fear no ovil.
I felt n strong deslro to cry out to him:
"Good man, be on your guard I Do not
allow yourself to bo entrapped by tho
old wretch ; distrust yourself I" but ho
would not have comprehended inc. To
ward two o'clock Fledermnusso return-
red. Tho noise of her door resounded
through the vestibule. Then alone, all
alone, sho entered tho ynrd,nnd seated
lier.-flf on the interior step of tliu stair-
way ; sho put down her basket before
her, ami drew out first boiiio packets of
herbs, then vegetables, then n red vest,
then a (line cornered hat, u coat of
brown velvet, pants of plush, nud
coar.-o woolen hose thu completo coi
tumu of thu peasant from Nnssiu.
For-t moment I felt stunned; then
flames passed buforo my eyes.
I recollect those precipices which en
tlco with un Irrcslstlblti power ; thoso
wells or pits, which the police havo
been compelled to close, becauso nun
throw themselves Into them ; thoso
1869.
trees which had been cut down becauso
they Inspired men with tho Idea of
hanging themselves; that contngionof
suicides, of robberies, of murders, nt
certain epochs, by desperate means;
that strange- nnd subtle enticement of
cxainplo, which makes you yawn bo-
'causo another yawns, suffer becauso you
seo another suffer, kill yourself becauso
you seo others kill themselves nnd tny
hair stood up with horror.
How could this FIcdermausso, this
base, sordid creature, havo derived so
profound n law of human nature? how
had sho found the means to uso tills
lnw to tho profit or indulgence of her
sanguinary instincts? This I could not
comprehend ; it surpassed my wildest
imaginations'.
Rut reflecting longer upon this inex
plicable mystery, I resolved io turn tho
fatal law against her, nnd to draw tho
old murderess Into her own net.
So many Innocent victims called for
vengeance.
I felt myself to bo on tho right path.
I went to nil the old clothes sellers In
Nuremberg, nnd returned in the after
noon to tho Inn Rrcouf-Gras, witii an
enormous packet under my nrm.
Nickel Schmidt hail known mo for n
long tlmo ; his wlfo was fat and good
looking ; I had painted her portrait.
"Ah, Master Christian,"' said ho,
squeezing my hand, "what happy cir
cumstanco brings you hero? What pro
cures me tho pleasure of seeing you ?"
"My dear Monsieur Schmidt, I feel a
'vehement, iusatiablo desire to sleep In
tho Green Room."
Wo were standing on tho threshold
of tho inn, und I pointed to tho room.
The good man looked at mo distrust
fully. "Fear nothing," I said; "I havo no
desiro to hang myself."
"Ala tonne haire I a la bonne hmre !
For frankly that would givo me pain ;
an artist of such merit I When do you
wish tho room, Master Christian?"
"This evening."
" Impossible I it is occupied 1"
" Monsieur can enter Immediately,'
said a volco Just behind me, "I will not
bo In tho way."
Wo turned mound lu great surprise;
tho peasant of Nassau stood beforo us,
with Ills three-cornered hat, and his
packet at the end of his walking-stick.
He bad Just learned the history of his
three predecessots In tho Green Room,
and was trembling with rage.
"Rooms, llko yours 1" cried he, stut
tcring ; "but it is murderous to put pco
plo there it is assassination I You de-
servo to bo sent lo tho galleys immedl
ately!"
" Go- go calm yourself," said tho
inn-keeper ; "that did not prevent you
from sleeping well."
"Happlly,I said my prayers at night,1
said tho peasant; "without that, wher
would I be?" and ho withdrew, with
his hands raised to heaven.
"Well," said Nichel Schmidt, stupe-
fled, "tho room is vacant, but I entreat
you do not servo mo a bad trick."
"It would bo n worst trick for myself
than for you, monsieur."
I gave my packet to the servants,
and Installed myself for tho tlmo with
tho drinkers. For a long tlmo I had
not felt so calm and so happy. After o
many doubts and disquietudes I touch
ed the goal. Tho horizon, seemed to
clear up, aud It appeared that tome in
visible, power gavo mo tho hand. I
lighted my pipe, placed my elbow on
the table, my wlno beforo me, and list
ened to tho chorus iu "Freisehutz,"
played by a troupo of gypsies from tho
Rlack Forest. Tho trumpets, tho hue
and cry of tho chase, tho hautboys,
plunged mo into n vaguo reverie, and,
at times rousing up to look at tho hour,
I asked myself gravely if all which had
happened to mo was not a dream. Rut
the watchman camo to nsk us to leave
the talle, and soon other and moro sol
emn thoughts wero surging in my soul,
nnd iu deep meditation I followed little
Charlotte, who preceded mo with acan
dlo to my room.
Wo mounted thu stairs to the third
story. Charlotte gavo mo the candle,
and pointed to tho door.
"There," sho said, and descended
rapidly.
I opened tho door. The Green Room
was llko any other inn-room. Tho
celling was very4 low, tho bed very
high. With ono glnnco I explored tho
Interior, and then glided to the window.
Nothing was to bo seen iu tho houso
of Fledernmuseo; only, In somodlstant
room, nn obseuro light was burning.
Somo ono was on the watch. "That Is
well," snld I, closing tho curtain; "I
havo all necessary time."
I opened my packet, I put on a wo
man's bonnet, with banging lace; then
placing myself before a mirror, I took
a brush apt! painted wrlukles In my
face. This took mo nearly nn hour.
Then I put on the dress nnd a large
rliuwl, and 1 was actually nfrald of my
self- FIcdermausso scorned to mo to
look at mo from tho mirror.
At this moment, the watchman cried
out, "Eleven o'clock I" I seized tho
manikin which I had brought in my
packet, and mullled It lu a costume
precisely similar to that worn by tho
old wretch. I then opened tho curtain.
Certainly, after all that I had seen of
tho Fledermaussc, of her Infernal cun
nlng, her prudence, her adroitness, sho
could not In any way surprise, me; nnd
yet I was afraid. Tho. light which I
had remarked In tho chamber was still
Immovable, nnd" now cast Its yellow
rays on the manikin of thu peasant of
Nassau which was crouched on the
corner of tho bed, with tho head hang
ing on the hn-nst, the threo-corncrcd
hat pulled down over tho face, the arms
suspended, and the whole aspect that
of absolute despair.
The shadows, managed with diaboli
cal art. allowed nothing to be seen but
the general ell'cct of the face. The red
vest, and six round buttons nlonc,sccm
ed to shiiio out In the darkness. Rut,
tho silence of the night, tho completo
Immobility of the figure, tho exhausted
mournful ulr, wero well cnlculatcd to
take possession of u spectator with n
strange power. For myielf, although
forowarncd, I wns chilled even to my
bones.
COL. DEM. - - VOL. XXXIII - NO. 12.
How would It, then, havo fared with
tho poor, slmplo peasant, If ho had been
surprised unnwaros? Ho would Imvo
been utterly cast down. Despairing,
bo would havo lost nil power of self
control, nnd tho spirit of Imitation
would havo dono the rest.
Scarcely had I moved tho curtain,
when I saw FIcdermausso on tho watch
behind her window. She could not seo
me. I opened my window softly; tho
window opposlto was opened I Then,
her manikin appeared to rlso slowly
and advance beforo mo. I, also, ad
vanced my ninntkl'i, nnd, seizing my
torch with ono hnnd, with the other I
quickly opened tho shutters. And now
tho old woman nnd myself wero faco to
faco. Struck with sudden terror, she
had let her manikin fall I
Wo gazed nt each other with almost
equnl horror. Sic extended her finger
I ndvanced mine. Me moved her
Hps I ngltnted ii'nc Sho breathed n
profound sigh, nud leaned upon her
elbow. I Imitated her.
To dcscrlbo nil the terrors of this
sceno would bo impossible. It bordered
upon confusion, madness, delirium. It
wns n deatli-strugglo between two wills;
between two intelligences; between
two souls each ono wishing to tiestroy
tho other; and, In this struggle, I had
tho advantage her victims struggled
with mo.
After having imitated, for somo sec
onds, every moment of Fledermnusso,
I pulled o ropo from under my skirt,
und attnehtd It to tho cross-beam.
The old woman gnzed at mo with
gapltig mouth. I passed the rope around
my neck j her pupils expanded, light
ened ; her faco was convulsed.
"No, no!'1 snld she, in a whistling
voice.
I pursued her with tho impassibility
of nn executioner.
Then rugo seemed to take possession
of her.
"Old fool I" sho exclaimed, straight
ening herself, nnd her Iinnds contracted
on tho cross-beam. "Old fool I" 1 gavo
her no tlmo to go on, blowing out my
lamp. I stooped llko a man about to
mako a vigorous spring, and seizing my
manikin, I passed tho ropo around its
neck, nnd precipitated it below.
A terrible cry resounded through the
street, and then silence, which I seem
ed to feel. 1'crsplrntlou bathed my
forehead. I listened n long time. At
the end of a quarter of an hour, I heard
far nwny, very far away, tho volco of
tho watchman, crying, "Inhabitants
of Nuremberg, midnight, midnight
sounds !"
"Now Justice is satisfied," I cried,
"the three victims nro nvenged. Par
don mo O Lord l1'
About flvo minutes after the cry of
the watchman, I saw FIcdermausso nt
traded, allured by my manikin (her
exact image), spring from tho window,
with a rope around her neck, and rest
suspended from tho cross-beam.
I saw tho shudder of death undulat
ing through her body, whllo the moou
calm, silent, majestic, Inundated tho
summit of the roof, and her cold, palo
rays reposed upon the old, dishevelled,
hideous head.
Just ns I had seen the poor young
student of Heidelbtrg, just so did I
now seo FIcdermausso.
In the morning, all Nuremberg learn
ed that tho old wretch hud hung her
self, and this was tho last event of that
kind in tho Street Mlnnesanger.
How to Celebrate Anniversar
ies of Weddings. Anniversary wed
dings appear to bo yearly growing into
more general favor. They may bo
mado pleasant festivals If it only bo
understood that etiquette and good
breeding do not demand tho acknowl
edging of an Invitation to theso wed
dings by.prcfccututlonsof valuabloglfts.
Members or tho family or very Inti
mate friends are tho only persons from
whom such gifts may bo received. In
vited guests need not absent themselves
from such agreeable entertainments be
cause a false conception requires them
to contribute costly 'presents. For
amusement or sociability, trifles in pa
per, tin or wood may be offered by cas
ual ns well as personal friends on tho
occasion of tho commemorated wed
dings.
Tho paper wedding, tho first anni

Tho lawyers and tho Oats.
Two Arkansas lawyers woro domestl
cated In t.io rudo hotel of n country
town, Tho hotel was crowded, nnd tho
room allotted to our two heroes was
nlso occupied by six or eight others.
Shake-down beds, enough to nccommo
dalo tho guests, wero disposed about tho
room, against tho four walls, leaving an
open space In tho ccnlro of tho npnrt-
lllullt.
Judge Clark lay with his head lo tho
north, oil ono eldc, nnd Judgo Thomas
lay with head tothosoutli, on tho other
sldo of tho room. So far as that room
was concerned, it might bo said that
their heads represented tho north and
the south poles, respectively.
All tho other beds In tho room wero
occupied. The central part of tho room
was deemed neutral ground, In which
tho occupants of tho different beds had
equal rights. Hero, in plcturesquo con
fusion, lay tho boots, hats, coats and
breeches of tho sleepers. There wero
no windows, and though the door was
open, thero being no moon, the night
was very dark in that room.
Tho wily lawyers, who had been op
posing counsel In a case tried In tho
town court that day, and had opposed
each other with the conliimncity of
wild pigs, wero now tho very incarna
tions of meekness, for when tho hungry
swarm of mosquitoes settled down and
bit them on the ono cheek, they slowly
turned tho other to bo bitten also.
Rnt bush! hark I
A deep sound strikes the car like a
rising knell I
" Mo-ow-ow!"
Judgo Clarfc and Thomas wero wide
awake, and silting holt upright in.an
instant.
Again the startling cry:
"Yo-ow, yo-owl"
"There's n d d cat!" whispered
Clark.
"Scat, you !" hissed Thomas.
Cat paid no attention to these demon
strations, but gavo vent to another
yowl.
"Oh, Lord!" cried Clark, "I can't
stand this ! Whoro'is she, Thomas ?"
"On your sldo of tho room some
where," replied Thomas.
"No sho's on your side," said Clark.
"Ye-ow-ow-ow!"
"There, I told you she was on your
side," they both exclaimed iu a breath.
And still the "yowl" went on.
Tho idea now entered tho heads of
both tho lawyers, that by the exercise
of certain btrategy they might be ena
bled to oxecuto a certain flank move
ment on the cat, und totally demoralize
him. Practically each determined to
file "n motion to quash" tho cat's at
tachment for that room.
Each kept tho plan to himself, and,
in tho dark, unable lo see each other,
prepared for action.
Strange as it may appear, It is never
theless true, that tho samo plan sug
gested Itself to both. In words, tho
plan would bo about ns follows :
Tho yowler is evidently looking and
calling for another cat, with whom be
has mado an appointment. I will Imi
tate a cat, and this cat will think t'other
cat's around. This cat will come to
ward mo, aud when ho shall havo ar
rived within reach, I'll blaze away with
anything I can get hold of, and knock
the mew-sic out of him.
So each of the. portly Judges, noise
lessly as cream comes to tho surface of
the milk, hoisted himself on to his hands
and knees, and, hippopotamus fashion,
advanced to the neutral ground occupy,
lug the central portion of tho room.
Arriving there, Judgo Clark selected
a boot-jack, and Judge Thomns a.Jieavy
cow-hide, boot, from tho heap, and set
tled themselves down to the work.
Clark tightened his grip on tho boot
jack, throwing up his head, gavo vent
to a prolonged and unearthly "Yo-ow-owl"
that would have reflected credit
upon ten of tho largest kind of cats.
"Aha," thought Thomas, who win
not six feet away, "ho's Immediately
around. Now I'll Invelglo him !" and
ho gavo tho regular dark night call of
a feminine cat.
Each of tho Judges now advanced a
littlo closer, and Clark produced a ques
tioning "Ow-ow !"
Thomas answered by a reassuring
"Pur-ow I pur-ow !" nnd they advanced
a littlo more.
They wero now within ensy reach,
nud each imagining tho cat had but a
moment moro to live, whaled away, tho
ono with Ills boot, tho other with his
boot-jack.
Tho boot took Chirk squaro iu tho
mouth, demolishing his teeth, und the
boot-Jack eamo down on Thomas' bald
head just us ho wns In tho midst of a
triumphant "Yo-ow I"
When lights wero brought thu eat had
disappeared, hut tho catastropho wi s in
opposlto corners of the room, with heels
In tho air, swearing blue streaks.
During; a religious rovlval Zedekiah
was converted and joined tho Methodist
Church. Onoovenlng whlloon his way
from class meeting, ho was assailed by
half a dozen of his former companions
shouting:

"Hold u moment," Interposed Zed,

ominous solemnity nnd advancing three
paces towards his retroaUnrj assailants:

Tho scamps, overuwed by n doubt of

precaution, leaving Zed as Apollyon
