It must have been tho perversity of our woman-natures, for I know, all the witilo wo wcro talUItifr and listening, wo started at every sound, mid hardly dared glance over our shoulder There were six of us besides Mrs. Holland invited to spend tho night with that lady for tho Bole purpose of koeping 1ior in good heart during her husliand's brief absence. I do not know how it was, but lato that afternoon she had found herself left in tlio lurch by Iter only man servant, and so had gath cred this group '' chattering, rattle- btafacd girls about her. Her placo was on tlio outskirts of a Western city, somewhat retired, although from its windows of nkrhts tho lights of the town could bo plainly acen. I don't know how our tongues got al such a mistaken subject. I know that Bello Sloan played and sang in a way a. '"'i.w -dxiaXhif. Jinh")i)Hna..niiht to iivo ueeu a long way irom uui noughts. Wc recited poems, discussed the fashions, danced, read, and last but not least lunched, all beforo wo ventur ed to look Into Bluebeard's chamber. It might havo been tho sight of tho silver on tho sideboard, or tea urn upon the table that first started it. I know that Mrs. Holland was very careful about locking up tho plulo, aud sug gested that somo one should put tho toy of tho sideboard under their pillow when they went to bed that night. I remember, too that Gcrlrudo Haws was the only ono who had courago enough to pocket tho disagreeable charge.

"O. it drovo them out at last, nnu ni ter n wliilo tho old houso was torn down. They found something nwful in tho collar tho bones of u very tnll man.

"For my part," shosald, "I fear tho miichiovous living moro than I do tho quiet dead. G hosts do not cut throats or flro pistols, but knaves do. Now, girls, let us forgot all this nonsenso and go to bed When tho sun rises In tho morning wo can afford to laugh at nil of this. Tho most serious thing wo havo to do for the night.

"Thrco will havo to sleep In ono bed, or ono of you will havo lo sleep alone." Mrs. Holland said thoughtfully "I will tako a room lo myself," I said, possessed by a sudden spirit of courago "I shall soon be asleep, and then noth Ing will trouble mo but my dreams." That flxc3 us then," was tho roliov cd answer of our lioness, and sho led tho way into tho hall and up stairs was shown to a perfect nest nf a room at tho end of tho upper liali, it3 win dows opening upon a balcony. To re assure myself, when left nlono, I turned aside tiio shutters (it was summer time, pushed back Iho flmly laco curtains and looked out long into tiio night. A breath of rosc3 camo up, from Iho garden bolow. I could hear no sound but tho rustling of tho trees near tho window. It seemed such a sweet Chris tian world lo mo then, tho stars watch ing in tho skies abovo! In all that purity .of leaves, flowers and scented breezes, how could ono plan deeds of darkness or ralso a hand ngahi3t a brother. From .tho window I turned lo a vol- nine; M uuiruti -uuuitmtmtn mema, which was lying upon a little (ablo by tho bed. Lcauing back in an arm chair, I was soon lost in that sweetest of sweet poems, Hugh Southcrland's Pan sics. I was sitting opposlto tho win dow, though not very near to it, tho thought occurring to mo ns I settled down to my book, that in front of mo was plenty of room for Caroline Mc Lowell's shadow with tho hat and handkerchief, to wavo his hands and bob his head. As I read, everything growsilentinthehonso. Hattlo Brown's laugh, pretty and musical dwindled down to Just a gurglo and then ceased altogether. BelloSloan called out "mer- ry good night gliosis and robbers," and was then heard no moro. It seemed to mo that I was alono In tho waking world overybody clso had entered that misty land that knows no realities. How I read I do not know. Tho page grew binrrcu anu uiin, nnu i found myself whispering over and over softly ''Even ns I played I felt tho shadow thero and hid ray fico; Hut when X looked again ino uower was piucu n.i Tho shadow irouo. tho sunshine through tho oiiuu Gleamed faintly, and tho widowed woman wept." A soft light slop broke iu upon my words.

I wanted to speak to tho mm but was nfrald I might Vnken myself by It. I could remember spoiling many a doliclous entertaining vision by trying to utter ono llttlo word. I waiitcd to sco this thing out, so it was wisdom in mo lo keep still. Unless tho shadow did something posltlvoly disagrocablo Or Impolite, I would keep utter sllonco. As if to provoko mo Into making a raovo that big long right nrm upon tho wall was strclchcd out towards tho bureau. "Thcro goes my watch I" I thought, and turned squaro around to sco If tho shadow was holloing tho sub3tanco. Not bit of It. Tlio substanco was drop ping something into his handkorchlcf, and "good byo to my llttlo donovatlmo keeper!" I felt a strong-disposition to cry. After this Mr. 8ub3tanco led his shadow ncross tho room to tho door, strutting nlong n3 though ho know himself to bo master of tho situation Then ho turned nnd looked mo over In a cool dellberato way that mado mo very nngry. I thought ho wanted my solitaire, nnd so hid my band under my book. After nwhlio ho turned his at- tontion lo my night dress thrown across tho back of a chair. It pleased, him mightily. IIo took it up, shook it, first looked at ono alcove, then nt tho othor, tried to button tho collar round his own burly throat, and falling in it, threw it With all his might Into tuo.corner. "A pretty plcco of irnpudenco!" I thought lo myself. "If I could only draw my handkerchief around his neck so tightly as to choko lilm?" Then it was that I began to tiunic l was acting tho part of tho coward. Why, after it was ail over with, I would dio of sharao that I had allowed that fellow, or ghost I could not tell which to raako ofT with his spoils, and novcr so much as to ralso my flngor to pro vent it. Ho went to tho dressing bureau and took up a brush, and leisurely remov ing ids hat began to brush his curls. My ! but what beautiful hair ho had. Such n mass of glossy silkon curls covering Ills head! That wasn't shadow-llko it all. I felt a strong dis position to put an cud to my doubts by clenching a hand Into tho shining rings, but I stirred not n slop. At last ho turned tothowindowaud began to undo tho fastenings. I becamo suduenly desncrato. Ho should not escape mo so, I would catch hold of him and scream for help. If ho was "not of cartli earthy," why, of course ho would slip through my fin gcrs, but spirits did not takoQcnova curls with ladles' hair brushes. To this world's noods they maintained a bliss ful indifference. Tlio window was unfastened and swung partly open, when I gavo a leap forward a leap, by tho way, which would havo mudo tho famo of a circus performer ; of tho scream that accom panied tho movement I havo nothing to say. Thoso who wcro arousod from a deep slumber by it, declared that it was an inhuman howl, fitted only to scaro sinners in tho lower regions. My only thought, when I sprang from my thairwastogctpos-essioti of my visitor's bright handkerchief. I did clasp It firm ly with my fingers and hold fa3t to It, but it slipped from his neck, and ho escaped from mo into darknes?, Tho next minuto thcro wa3 a crying, a pattering and a fluttering in tho hall and I found myself back in my arm chair overlooking tho most terrified set of human countenances that over confronted man or woman. "What is It?" they all asked, in n breath. "What mado youscream so?" "What havo you not undressed?" "What is the matter?" wcro showorcd unon mo as thick as hailstones. I look cd around me doggedly. "Thero was a man in tho room aud I tried to stop him," I answered in a trembling voice. "aoodnoss! I don't seo what you wanted to Btop hltn for, Magglo. Didn't you wan't him to go ?" Hattio Brown said, hor teeth chattering. I gavo hor n withering glnnco. "But ho mado off with my watch?" "Oh, a robber ! Was the watch under your pillow?" "No, on tho bureau." "Miss Margaret Verne, you've had n nlBlitmaro. Hero is your watch on tho bureau now, Just whore you left It!" Tho six ploees:of femininity in long nlL'htcowns tittered in unity at this.

Chief Ju3tlco Spoflbrd, during tho latter part of his official career, was about 3 brusquo and biting ns man could bo, and In his bltttor moods ho was apt to bo ns ungenerous ns ho was sarcastic.

Onco upon n timo Spouoru was in mo head of tho bench holding a uouri, oi Equity, and in tho caso under trial it becamo necessary for an attorney to provo tho death of a certain man. inis attornoy wa3 by namo Walllngton a thln-visaged, nervous, buzzing lenow, who had tho reputation of nover letting go his hold upon n caso until ho hud wrung tho last possible dollar from it. Walliongton produced, what ho con sldcrcd asufliclcnt proof of tho death ot tho man in question; but tho juugo would not accept it. That is no proof at all," was spoi- ford's emphatic remark. Thoottornoy brought rorwaru ouier ovldonccs. And still old Spofford shook his head. It will not do, sir. Wo cannot accept that as proof." "Your Honor," cried Walllngton, with much show of vexation, "pardon mo if I deem your decision extremely hard. Why will you not bollvo mo ? I knew tho mau well to tho day of his death j I saw.him dead with my own my own oyes; and I allcndpd his iulicrni. -iio-nTMn j,iV client, your Honor. Your client ?" exclaimed Bpoflord.
