A Misty Night's Adventure Ono evenincJiboUtnyearaco. I was stand ing 011 tho corner ofCtb avetiue and SGtli street. It was about 1 1 o'clock, and a heavy mist was fullino.thougb tho nlnht was warm. i was about to take a down car, when I waa accosted by a tall, broad-shouldered, fine- looking man, who called mo by name, but whoso identity I could not fix in my mind, though I know I had seen him before. ratsey, old boy, how nro you ?" said he, grasping and heartily shaking my hand. " I'm glad to sco you, Tat, really. Come, tako a walk with me up town. The night isn't particularly Inviting, old boy, nor is it terribly severe. Cornel" Why I should take a walk with a man whom I couldn't "place." at that hour, and on sucli a night, I didu't ask myself and can't answer even now. Tcrliaps it was the man's manner of sjwech, earnest and per emptory, his commanding rather than solic iting tones, that caused mo to think ho had some kind ufnnaffairon hand which he did not wish to "give away," and that a com- pauion would bo desirable. Something In fluenced mo at any rate; for, with a "Come on I" to him, and without asking his name or anything concerning him, Imping to "pluce" him by my own efforts nt retrospec tion, I turned mid started off with him up the avenue mentioned. His pace, though not n hurried one, was, as earnest ns Ills speech. Ho put his feet down as if lie had something to walk for,and ic talked commonplaces in a crisp an, 1 solid tone, so to speak. In abitrt, there .was noth. ng of the idler in his walk, and nothing ol" the sleepy-head in his talk. I walked along beside iilm, wondering, as I walked, what was up, of course, imagin ing all sorts of things. Wo walked till we reached Central Turk, having "dropped in" onco on tho way, nt his invitation, to par take ot the inevitable "invigorator," when I scanned my midnight companion closely not lor a mental inventory of his apparel, but to "tako in tho situation" ih respect to his sobrictv. If I wnsnnyjiidgo and I thought I was ho was as "straight as a string," as free from tho influence of liquor os a lamp-post, and standing as firm, while his eyes shone Willi a light as clear and bright as health and vivacity could impart. I have thought of that light since I should have more closely observed it then it was a glare. Wo entered the park. I was now an in voluntary, I may say, a mechanical accom paniment, and nothing more--he walking and talking as usual, putting his foot down as firmly and speaking as earnestly, though dwelling not for a moment on nnv onu ton ic, broaching and disposing of ono in less than that time, and taking up another. My curiosity In regard to my companion and his " mission" was now only exceeded by my desiro to bo " in at the death," as it wcro to " sco the thing out." " Who the dcuoo is this man t" For the life of mo I couldn't " place" him, though I had worked the. " rctrosiect" to the best of my ability. "What is his lay I" "How will It end I" "Ho isn't drunk." "Ho isn't a lunatic" "It's mighty queer, any how." Such were n few of the questions and remarks mutually asked and made by myself as I was drawn along beside tlio tall unknown "drawn," that's what it was, for I was impelled by some strange influence to keep alongside my companion, whether I would or not. In fact, it didu't occur to me not to proceed further with him. In such cases, I fancy, it never does occur to one to attempt to break the spell upon him the "spell" ojierates to the contrary, I suppose. Well, on we went through Ihe mist and darkness opaqueness, let mo say; for, though " lost to sight," there was a moon above us, according to tho almanac, and it was not dark, a, dull gray, ghostly sort of light pervading until"tho lake" was reach ed, when iny companion incontinently scat ed himself, pulling mo down. beside him a physical rUbrt on his part, and not one of altract!on, magnetic or otherwise, No sooner were we seated than he spoke or the gray mist, as if for the first time no ticing it, and went on to remark upon mists in general, it not this one in jiarlic- ular. He discussed mitts for two minutes, per haps, when he dropped tho subjoct as one- well, too moist, perhaps, ormay be too "dry," At all events, he dismissed the mist with out ceremony, and, lor the first time since we set out on our walk, spoke not for the space iif lorty seconds. Suddenly be broke the silence with a remark that came I nun his lips as suddenly as the flash and report of a gun, aud, if not 60 sounding as the report, quite as startling to me "I'atseyt" (I neyershall forget how short, sharp and decisive was the pronunciation of my christian name) "lire you fond of sen. sationsf I ell yon we'll create uuo In the morning, you bell When they find tubolli laid out here, dead as herrings, K the- morning, I lather think there'll be some thing of a sensation eh ?'

A cold sweat started out all over me the condition which .conduced to that sweat saved my life, perhaps; for the opposite, which would have prompted me lo spring to my feet and fly, would very likely havo precipitated matters to a serious if not fatal conclusion. My hair stood up, I am certain, and my tongue cleaved to tho roof of my mouth as if glued there, while my heart beat the."tattoo" on my ribs. I suppose you think I was frightened. Well, you have been mistaken before now, without doubt; and you might be now but you ore not. I was frightened and don't you forget It! Out there in tho dark at midnight, in a cold, gray, ghostly mist that looked like the shroud of nil things earthly, seated beside a powerful fellow, who coolly suggested n "sensation" of n ttartllng and tragical na ture, strengthening his suggestion by tlio production of a murderous looking revolver I yes, I was frightened, aud don't care who knows it I "I shall shoot you first, Patsey I" was the next remark of my friend (I), and how crisp and firm tho uttenincol "Then I shall shoot myself I The sensation In the morn ing will be tremendous, my boy I" His right hand moved my eyes were glued upon it and something I had to do, or something lie would do,most certn!nly,and cause a "sensation In tho morning.'-' Re trieving my tongue (minus tho skin, I am certain) from tho roof of my month, I man aged to moisten it sufficiently to speak in a husky voice: " Cully, don't shoot, os that will bring the park police upon us, who will carry us to the station-house, and spoil the morning sensa tion. See it?" " Sound as a nut," said my friend immcd- iately,and,puttingnway hisrevolver,brought out a largo knife, which ho opened, show ing a wicked-looking blade six inches in length. The thought, thi 1 1 was about to bo hack- eh to pieces caused a sickening chill to run through me. I would have preferred being shot. " This will do better, Tatsey. It is silent and sure. I will stab you to tho heart, or cut your throat, just as you prefer," he said, In n tono that was blood-freezing from its liabolical earnestness and calmness. ' That is better than the pistol,my friend," said I, "but I hate blood. I propose some thing better than either,- let us both drop ourscl'-cs in the lako here. There'll bo a -sensation, sure, when they fish us out. What dovousav?" I got to my feet without being hindered, my sensational friend rising also. "A good idea, Patsey," said he, at once. It is better thou the knife or pistol. Can you swim 1" " Not a stroke," said I. It was a lie but,uudcrthe circumstances, excusable, I think. Hal hul good I Nor I, Tatsey never could get the stroke. We'll walk in hand in hand give me your hand, Patsey." " I'll do It," said I, quickly "that just suits mo exactly. But, now tho thing is set tled, let's go am) have ono good square drink, Cully a parting drink to all tho world and, tho rest of mankind and then we'll come back and walk in here, and sink nut of Bight and trouble together. I'm willing ami anxious" tho mental reservation was "to get that drink and get aw'oy from you." He met mu like a trump card. " I'll do it, Patsoy come on. A parting drink to all tho world, and then we'll go to sleep in these quiet waters." " Not if I knuw myself I" I mentally ex claimed, and started nway, my sensational friend gmsptng my elbow und accompany ing mo his grip was a tight one, lo. "You must not deceive ine, Patsey," said ho the moment we moved away. "If you do, I have the knife ami pistol. You and 1 nro booked for the Unknown, and tho boat leaves shortly." " Decelvo you, my dear fellow 1" said I, as if deeply wounded in feelings, though struck by a happy thought," as I felt "never fear. Why, when you hailed me thinking of getting out of this into the other world, and I was going down to tho river to jump In. I didn't think of this lake it is much more genteel. Now, let that settle it, my dear fellow." It did. He expressed himself satisfied, and gave vent to nothing more that implied loubt on his part. I set out to reach the "Mount St. Vincent," but missed the way in the thick gray mist, and fetched up on 6th avenue at 110th street, I knew of a place some ten blocks up there. If I could only reach it, I felt certain I could cludo my companion; and I walked for it as Wcs ton lor the belt. I reached it, and in less than five minutes my sensational friend who bad known me for an hour or so (he mu.t have known me formerly) knew me no more that night, nor has bo known me since. I suppose the fellow had the '.'jams" and while I don't wish to havo to do with onj more such, late at night In the Park, yet I can't help thinking how more Iractablo lie was, though with brain adrift, than a "mus, sy lush" would have been.

A SPANISH TA1U. Don Truxlllo, of Castile, was blessed with a beautiful daughter named Dolores. He was bent on compelling her to marry Sennr D' Araccne; hut tho fair maiden revolted, and the threat of her father was uttered that, if she did not yield lo his commands, tho convent of Santa Isabel would receive another votary, Dolores yielded, but only to avoid the convent) and to D' Araccne she expressed herself os having no love or re spect for him, and, when he sought' to kiss her, with frantic strengtli she pushed hiui away, and, with flashing eyes and fierce speech, said to him ! "Sennr D' Aracene, it is decreed that in two months' time I shall bo your bride, and there is no other choice left me but a nun's cell. But mark me well, until the law hinds us in one, no kiss of thine shall press my lips, no embrace ol thino enfold me; I must be left as free as air, to enjoy as best I may tho little lime that remains to mo, ere I am bound in hated slavery. If I am not. granted this, I wilt find a way to escape thee, even if it bo my death. Shall it be as I havo said ?" D' Aracene felt compelled to accede to her demand, but ho haughtily responded that when sho became bis wife she would repent having shown her dislike. He hastily withdrew from her presence. Tho days flew drearily yet swiftly on. Ono sunny afternoon, she was scaled in her lather's garden, in a loyely spot, in a half dreamy reverie, whn,uddcnly she wos startled by hearing a voice cry out to her tenderly,4nd softly i 'Dolores 1 Dolores 1" She started with a slight scream, arid soon found herself in tlio outstretched arms of Valencia Leonata. Ho had heard rumors of her intended marriage, ami had hastened to her sido lo rescue her from her dreadful fate. Their interview wos that of ardent lovers, and listening to Valctit'io's promises, she declared to him that if ho would rescue her from her dread ful marriage sho would follow him even to the ends of tlio earth. They agreed UKn u meeting the next day, when slia would Uy willi her lover away from her stem, re lentless father. The hour arrived. Valeucio appeared, having secured two horses saddled and bridled. They rode away to a neighboring parde, and were united in wedlock. Then they departed with all possible speed away along the broad road, northward. As day dawned, they heard rapid hoof beats alter them, and, casting a startled look behind, Dolores buw her father and D' Aracene pur suing them. A race of life and death began, but nlnsl Dolores's horse stumbled and fell, and Valcncio.unwllliiigto desert hcr,sprang to her assistance. With rngo and hale In their bosoms, the pursuers overtook them, aud the Don haughtily cried : "Dolores, how is it I find thee, tho plight ed bride of Senor D' Aracene, here at this hour with a stranger?" "He is no stranger to me, my lather ; it is Vulcncio Leonata, and he is my husband." 'Thy husband, foolish child; pruto not to mo of husbands. The only one I shull ever know will be the senor by my sideaiud he now bills thee, us his bride elect, to quit the arms of yonder man, aud seek his own.' Valeucio, clasping Dolores to his bosom, firmly declared her to be his wife, und bc sceched Don Truxillo to take back Ins cruel words, and let lli'-m depart in ieace. The iuiierious Don, without a moment's hesitation, drew a pistol from his belt and fired at the unfortunate youth, who fell ut his bride's feet' a corpse, while she, half frenzied, knelt beside him. Coolly, he then gave orders lo Senor D' Aracene to take back his bride; then, turning Ills horse, without one glance at hisdistractcd daughter,he rodo away The senor, dismounting, advanced to the Bide of the stricken girl, saying gently as he could : "Senorita, thlsisbuta sorry place for thee, and thy father has bidden me conduct tlieo home. Wilt thou come?" Dilore.' passionate grief had given place to a dull stupor, and sho made no resistance to being conducted home. From that hour to the hour appoiutcd for her bridal she was listless and unconcerned. When tho day came, she permitted them to array her In tiie gleaming robes and place tho costly jewels upon her neck and arms. Thcn,whcn all was done, they bade her look in the mir ror, and with a start she seemed to realize for the first time what all tho bustle sign) lied. When her attendant depot ted from the room, she swiftly glided to a little cabi net, and touching a secret spring, a tiny drawer flew out, in which lay a gleaming dogger scarce six Inches in length, with the handle incrusted with gems. Sho concealed it in her bosom, and then calmly awaited the ceremony. Like a stately marble statue the stood while it was being jierformed. Only onco did she raise her eyes, aud then It was lo encounter the siern, relentless gaze of her father beneath which her own quickly ilnxijied. The bridegroom turned, with outstretched bands, to greet his bride. As his dark, detested face was bent over tier's, she started back with a fierce, vengeful scream, and raised aloft her beautiful arm and clenched hand, In which the tiny dag ger now gleamed. In an instant it was up- K' t' lifted, aud with all tho force passion could , . , , . , summon to her, it was plunged into the I heart of the bridegroom Near the banks of the brightUuadalqulver surrounded by some of the fairest, scenery of smiling Spain, stands Ihe convent of Santa Isabel.
