I did not wait to bo asked twice. Ho received mo with scrupulous Eng lish courtesy, eulogized France and Cor sica, and declared that ho was warmly attached to that country and to tkat partlrnlar portion pf the coast. I then, with great caution and under tho guise of a very lively personal In terest, ventured a few questions re garding his life, no replied without embarrassment, telling mo that ho had traveled extensively In Africa, India and America, and that bo had Jjad many adventures, X then returnod to tho subject cf the chase, and ho gave, mo many of the most curious detail's In regard to hunting tho hippopotamus, the tiger, tho elephant, and oven tho gorilla, I remarked that $11 llieso animals were formidable. IIo smiled. "Oh, no: man is tho most terrible." lie laughed outright, with a hearty, contented English laugh, as ho further informed me; "I havo also bcorj a great hunter cf men.'' Then he turned tho convcrsat'en to the tpp'.c of arms, and invited jne to the houso to look a'- g"U3 of different kinds. His drawlng-rocm was I.U113 with black silk embroidered wllh gold.

On a square of red vplvct rj black object was thrown into relief. It was a hand a human hand. Not a skeleton hand, white and clean, but a dried and black ened hand, with yellow nails, naked ntusclc3, sud traces of blood old, clot ted blood, where tho bonei were cut short off as If with tlio blow of an ax, about midvvpy up tho forearm. An enormous iron chain, riveted at the wrist, soldered to this unsightly mem ber, attached it to tho wall by a ring strong enough ip lipid tin elephant in Ieas,h. "What is that!1" I asked. "That is my wont enemy," replied tho Englishman, ealp.ily, "Ho came from America. It was cut off with a sabre, skinned and dried in the sun for a week, Jt was 3 pretty good piece of irork for me," I touched that human fragment, lilch must have belonged to a giant. Tl)3 fingers, disproportionately long, wcro attached by cnorifiotts tendons, to which shreds of skin still clung. Scorched as It was, it wa3 a frightful thing to behold, mggcstlng Jrrhlstably some savage revenge, "He must hivo bpen a very strong man," said I, "Oh, yes," i-ftld tho Cnxltshmau, gently, "Uut I was stronger- than he. I had that chain put on to hold him," - I thought lie Has jesting, aud said: "TJjo claln is lyjvolly useless now; thts hand will not runaway," But he gravel v replied; "I'ho chain was tiecessaiy. It was always tiyln to get away," IVllh a japid gljnco I questioned Jtis countenance, asking myself; "Is he a lunatic or an tifly joster?" Cut his face rem tlncl Jnipenclrable, malm, and benevolent, I talked of oth er thlng3, and nlmired his guns. I noticed that thrca loaded revolvers lay on the tables, as if this man JJvcd in constant fear of an attack, I visited I1I111 several times and then went there no more.

Half an hour later, with the central j eounulssary and a captain cf tcldlcrv, j cntcred the Englishman's house, H(5 servant, bewildered and despairing, weeping before tha door. I mi pected him at first, but ho was inno- cent Thc guilty man never could Lo ' found. As J entered Sir John's sjttfns-rccuj, I saw at the Orst glanco lib body stretched out on Jts back in the middle of the floor. His. waistcoat was torn, one torn sleeve of his coat was hanging; all tojd that a tcrriSlo strugjlo bad tak en place. He bad died of strangulatlonl nis terrible countenance, black and swollen, seemed to express an abominable fear; h held something be'. ween his set teeth, and bis neck, pierced in a hundred spots, as if with iron points, ws covered with blood. A phytisian joined us. He examined long and closely the marks of fingers in the llosh of tho dead mm' throat and spoke these strange words; , "Uno would say that h? had been strangled by a skeleton," ' A shudder crept overlay back, and I raised my oyes to tho wall, to the la 0 whew I had formerly teen the horrible, shriveled hand. It was ro lo iger there, The chain hung broken. Then I leanel ovenbe d-ad njan. an I fuanllnhls insmi,. : ;. i cej, of thu Uui 0. tluk uujss iucJ, cut, cr rather cawed, off by his. teeth cloco to tho second joint, They proceeded to mko Investlga- tluna, bu,i discovered nothing. No dcor or window had boon foi-cod, no article of fqrulturc moved. Thotwbwatchdogtj had t)ot been awakened. Tho testimony of tho servant could bo summed up In a few words. Hi3 master had scented agitated for a month past, no had received and burned many letters. Often seizing a horsewhip, with fury that resembled madness, ho had lashed that dried hand chained to the wall, which had boon removed, np one knew hpw, at the very hour of tho crime. It -333 his habit to wtlro carry at rtight.and to lock himself In with care. Ho always had wcaporp within his rcaeh. Uc often talked very loud In tho night, as If quarreling with some body, That night It chanced that ho had made r.o sound, and it was only cn coming to open the windows In the mornlnr; that ths ccrvant had found Sir John assa3Sinatod. Ho suspected nobody, I reported to tho magistrates and public officers all I knew about tho death, and a minnto Inquiry was prose cuted over tha whole, Island, Nothing was discovered, One night, about three months after the citmc, Iliad a fearful nightmare. I seemed to see that hand, that horrible hand, running like a scorpion or a spider over my curtains and walls. Three times I twoka, and throo times oa go ing to sleep again I saw the hideous member running about niy roociiraovlng Its lingers like feet, The next day it was brought to me. It had been fotmd In tho cemetery on tho grave of Sir John Powell, The forefinger was gone. Ha 1 I an explanation to suggest it would but overthrow your wild imagin ings, and would not bo likely to find a- ceptanco with you, ?Jy belief Is slinp'y ' that the lawful owner of tho hand was living, and had corns in search of it ' with tho ono that remained to him. But I have iiot been able to picture to my satisfaction the manner pf his re venge. RUTH.

Her skin was white as milk, her cbesks like tho heart of ablushroEo, and her smile showed the prettiest rows of pearly teeth I over saw. Sho devised little, dainty dishes to tempt mo to eat; sho put saucers of flowers pn my table that I might cheat myself into fancying I va3 out doorr, as their perfume crept out on tlio air; she assured ine, petted inc. loved me, till even my misfortunes seemed bless ings drawing us nearer together, ,fnd when the was all tho world to me, all that snvoJ mc from misery, John Hayes ssked mc to give him Eutu for his wife, I could have struek him dead when ho slood before me, a young jiant In strength, ivitji his handtemr, sun-burnt face, glowing with health, and wanted to take away my poo bloas lag. my only home child, "I will be a truo son to you, Mr. Martin," ho aid earnestly, "I w 11 never tako Ruth from here, but let tire!vltl1 r-0)Vf, and we bad a wedding in come and share her JJfe, and lift tome of tho burdens rom her shoulder."
