bonnet with great wliito wings on tho
side?, holding in her hand a moist com-

the celebrat'-d specialist in insanity. A
shudder passed through my frame,

What had happened? But even as
asked myself theso questions littlo by
litrlo 1 went oil to sleep, and 1 saw, m
a billowy meadow, a road covered with
blood and bordered on either side with
monstrous microscopes shaped liko
trees, a road on which two littlo girls
played at pitch and catch with a sever
ed head, while Dr. Bertram, comically
bonneted with a religious cap, rodo as
tride of a dead body, which reared and
pranced and kicked till he could scarce
keep his seat.
Tho next morning I was better, and
day by day I improved, though that
horriblo nightmaro came to mo eaoh
night- But it grew less and less dis
tinct, and in a K w weeks it almost
ceased to Iroublo me.
Ono evening tho doctor, whom I had
not socn during tho day, seated himself
near my bed.
"Well," said he, leeling my pulse,

"No, now, doctor, 1 cried. "It is

Here is an exact transcript ot my
recital as I told it to Dr. Bertram and,
later, to tho magistrate.
You know my passion for natural
history. Well, scarcely a week passes
that I do not go into tho country
botanizing. Tho day I went to Ulao
nevin, where, as you know, tho marshy
meadows aro noli m curious plants,
infusoria and diatoms. 1 was retnrn
ing, anil was almost in Dublin with my
box lull ot rare specimens, on which
expected to make a report that would
astonish tho Botanical society, when
saw a littlo girl, certainly not moro
than 5 or 0 years old, who w'as all
alone, crying as if hcr.littlo heart would
break. I approached her, but at tho
sight of mo sbo redoubled her cries,
could sfo that tho little ono was lost,
and that she did not know whero to
go, so I spokb to her kindly, and, by
dint of promising her unlimited bon
bons, got her to tell me that her name
ui4 j.izzic, and, that suo lived near
IJeresford piaco in Lower Abboy street.
I took her hand, and wo soon started
off, talking together liko old friends,
Shu was a beautiful child, fresh and
rosy, with great candid oyes and fair
hair, which was cut short over hor
eyes and fell in golden ringlets about

Lizzie was afraid shu would bo scold

was I, whero did I live, how did I hap
pen to find her, aud thousand liko
questions woro showered upon rao.
"Oh, Mr. Furniss," said tho mother,
"vou aro tho savior of my child. How

.... . ..I
I'ho air had been heavy tho w nolo
dav, and in tho evening a storm ccrao
6n. Thunder claps Bcoccdcd ono
aoothor without interruption, tho rain
Jell in torrents. Whether it was tho
eltcct ot tbo storm, of the suftocating
heal, or of the wine I.had drank, 1 felt
strango melancholy. I could not
broatho comfortably. I was about to
sot out for home, however, for it was
latoand my housowas at some dis
tance; but thoy insisted that 1 should
stay. It would bo foolish to expose
myself to such a tempest, when 1 was
not fooling well; tho mothor begged
mo with such a good grace that 1 felt
forced to remain and pass tho night in
hospitable house. Thoy ceremoniously
conducted mo to my room, and thero
wished mo good night. I remember
even that Lizzio having fallen asleep in
her father's arras, I kissed her littlo
cheek, paled by sleep, and her dimpled
littlo arms.
Loft alone, I began to undress slow
ly and wandered about tho room, as
ono always does when ono sleeps in a
strango placo. I felt as if I should
smother in tho closo atmosphero of tho
room. Beforo getting in bed I wanted
to iuhalo a littlo of tho outside- air, and
in Bpito of tho roaring storm I tried to
opon tho window. I; was a false win
dow. "Well, welll" I oxclaimcd, a littlo
surprised.
1 thought 1 would removo tho chim
ney screen; it was a false chimnoy. I
rushed to tho door it was locked!
rear seized me, and, holding my
breath, I listened. Tho house was
quiet, all seemed to bo asleep. Then I
inspectod tho room carefully, straining
my ears for tho least "bound. On tho
floor, near tho bed, I noticed spots; it
was blood dried and blackened blood!
I shuddered nnd a cold sweat stood out
on my forehead. Bloodl Why should
thero bo blood thoro! And I saw that
a whole sea of blood must havo been
spilt there for a great Bpaco around
(V hard wooden floor had been freshly
scrubbed and scraped. All at onco I
cried out. Under tho bed I had Been
a man, stretched out, motionless as an
overturned statue. I could not cry oi
call out. With trembling hands I
touched the man. Ho did not move.
With trembling hands I pushed the
man. Ho did not move. With trem
bling hands I seized the man by tho
feet and drew him forth ho was dead!
His neck had been cleanly cut, as with
one stroke of a razor, and tho head
held to tho trunk only by a slondcr
ligament.
I thought I should go mad. But
omething must bo done tho assassin
might come at any moment. 1 raised
tho body to placo it on tho bed. I
make a talse step and tho livid bead
turned over, swung to and Iro for a
moment liko a hideous pendulum, and
then, detached from tho trunk, fell on
tho floor with a dull sound. With
great difficulty I introduced tho de
capitated trunk betweon tho Bnects, l
picked up the head and placed it on
the pillow liko that of a sleeping man,
and, having blown out tho candle, I
slipped under tho bed. I did all this
mechanically, without thought of do-
fonco or safety; it was instinct that
prompted me, not intelligence or re
flection.
My teeth chattered. My hands
wero wet with a thicK moisture, a
felt as ii I had gono to bed in a char-
nol houso.
I remained thero in that awful fear
minutes, hours, months, years, centur
ies I do not know how long. I lost
all idea of timo and placo. All was
silent. From without the noise of the
storm and tho whistling of tho wind
came to me, softened and sad, liko
moans. I could not picturo to myself
tho assassin who was coming who
was thero perhaps. In that stato of
horror I could seo only littlo' Lizzie,
fair, rosy and frank, with her doll and
her great hat; I could seo her sleeping
in her father's arms; now and then sho
lightly raised her eyelids and disclosed
hor eyes, which seemed to me to bo
bold, implacable, cruel, murderous.
Tho door opened, but as softly as
tho saratching of a mouse. 1 bit my
lips till tho blood camo to keep trom
crying out. Now a man stepped in
with gliding tread, with infinite pre
cautions to avoid touching tho furni
ture. It seemed to mo as if I could
seo tho cruel, clutching fingers gliding
over mv clothes, searching mv nockets.
Then the steps came nearer, seemed to
grazo mo. I felt that tho man was

When I recovered consciousness tho

caution you may imagine. Uu tiptoo
I gained tho door, which had not been

I descended tho stairs, drow tho bolt of

blood frozen in my veins, I fell into
tho gutter of the deserted street.

A familiar sight in Costa Rice is a
death procession. When somo ono is
dying tho friends send for a priest to
shnvo him. Tno latter comes, not
silently and solemnly, a minister ' of
grace ana consolation, but accompan-
'?d by a brass band, if tho family tiro

a liberal commission on tho
ceiving
business), or, if
number of boys
thoy aro poor, by a
ringing bells and
chanting bvmns. liehitid tho band or
bell-boys are two acolytes, ono bearing
a crucifix and the other swinging an in
cense urn,. Then follows the priest in
a wooden box or chair, covered by a
canopy,,and carried by four raon wear
ing the sacramental vestments, and
holding in his hand, covered with a
napkin, tho Host tbe emblem ot tho
body of Christ. People on tho Street
kneel as the procession passes, and then
follow it. Keaching the house ot tho
dying, tho band or bell-ringers stand
outsido, making an tho disturbance
they can, while tho priest, followed by
a motley rabble, enters the death-
chamber, administers the sacrament
and confesses tho dying soul. Then
the procession returns to tho church
as it came. Going and coming and
while at the house the band plays or
tho bells are rung constantly, and every
man, woman, and child within hearing
fall upon their knees, whether in tho
street or at their labor, and breathe a
prayer for tho repose of the departing
spirit.
Funerals aro occasions of great cere
mony. .Notices, or avisos, as thoy aro
called, aro printed and posted upon all
of the dead-walls, liko announcements
of an auction or an opera, and printed
invitations are sent to all tho acquaint
ances of tho deceased. The priests
charge a largo feo for attendance, pro
portionate to the means of tho family,
and when thoy are poor it is common
for some ono to solicit contributions to
pay it. Tho spectacle of a beggar
sitting at a street corner asking alms
to pay the burial leo ot his wito or
