Sarah K. Bolton.
BLACK HALT,
A great storm was abroad In tho Bluo
Kiilgo mountains; angry flashes cleft the
gloom j thunder crashed nnd was echoed
from liill.to hill, and the swollen streams
dashed headlong, taking rocks nnd fallen
branches in their course to the Jumes.
Amid all this distracted naturo nn ob-
server might have seen the two lamps of
tlio Amherst stago coach gleaming like
bleared eyes through tho rain, as that
lumbering vehicle, drawn by a powerful
span of bays, dashed along tho mountain
road en route for Lexington.
budilcnly a bright, young faco pecnod
out of tho coach window, and a girlish
volco cried;
"Driver, how near aro wo to Com
modore Develin's?"
"Bo thar in jus' tree minutes. Miss.
It's dat aro big house on tho hill yonder
all ablnzo like."
A moment more and they woro driv
ing into tlio grounds. Again the im
pudent girl essayed to look forth, but
receiving a cold dab on tho cheek from
tho wet leaves, sho fell back imuationtlv
and listened to tho heavy, wet boughs,
as they brushed tho top and Bides of the
coach.
Suddpnly tho stago stopped, old Nico-
demus jumped down in the mud, with a
lantern in ono hand, and ' flinging open
tho door with a flourish, said loud enough
to wako the soven sleepers,
"Uoitiauoro Uivilins, Missr
There wero only two sleepers within.
however, but they opened their scared
eyes wide enough for soven, half expect
ing to seo n highwayman, but, being re
assured by Nicodemus' -bobbing wool
head nnd smiling black face, they laid n
contented hand on their pocketbooksand
hauo farewell to tho young ladv. who
quickly leaped into the mud, and, pick
ing up her ures3, ran up the broad steps.i
Nicodemus followed with her trunk, and
taking tho quaint brass knocker, repre
senting a coiled serpent, in his hand, gave
a long, loud knock, which echoed far and
near. There was a sound of feet running
to the door it opened lights dazzled the
young traveler; and, amid silvery laugh
ter and exclamations of delight, sho was
clasped in the arms of her old school
mate, Lena Develin.
"Tlio north and south have met." said
tho commodoro, and tho little traveler
turned to behold a superb looking old
gentleman, with a long, silvery beard,
whito hair and fine, dark oyes, who held
out a warm hand, saying:
"Welcome to Black Hall, Miss Grace."
i "Bring-JIiss nownrd in to tho-Cre,"
said Airs. Develin, appearing in tho parlof
uoor.
Although Graco had never beforo met
her friend's family, their warm greeting
mado her feel very unceremonious; so she
ran with a smiling faco to meet Lena's
sweet, dove faced, little mother, who ad
vanced, radiant In welcoming Biniles.
Just then Lena's brother Bob opened
tho front door. Ho was a quiet looking
fellow, witli mischievous brown eyes,
who, when introduced, bowed shyly,
blushed a trifle, and strode on to tho din
ing room, shaking tho rain from bis
slouch hat.
'Now como to my room and set on drv
clothes," said Lena. "You look wet and
cold," and sho led Graco up tho broad
staircase.
"Jesse," addressing a colored man,
"bring up Miss Howard's trunk."
Everything was now and strango to
Grace; the dark, wido halls, tlio colored
servants, who peeped at her curiously,
and lastly, Lena's room, with its dark,
paneled walls, heavily curtained win
dows and bed, nnd tho great wood fire
on tho hearth.
"Oh, how lovely!" exclaimed she,
throwing herself into an easy chair, but
on second thought springing up to cavess
her friend.
"You dear darling, I haven't seen you
for six months."
"And I'vo been shut up hero nil that
timo," replied Lena, who was a tall,
quiet blonde.
"Well, now, I should really havo en
joyed that," Graco replied, tossing her
damp wrappings over tho back of a
chair, "because I ndoro old houses, nnd
trees, and romance, and ghosts. Oh!
havo you any ghosts here?"
"Well, yes, wo havo what they call a
haunted room in tho rear part of the
house, but uono of us over slept thcro or
saw tlio ghost.
"Oh, do tell mo about it. Is there a
story connected with it?"
"les, quito a little romance. Just
drop into that chair close to the flro and
I'll tell you tho story."
Then, taking Grace's hand, sho begam
"iears ami years ago, Grace, my
great-great-great-grandfathcr, who was
an artist, came over from England and
settled in this house with his brido, a
very young nnd beautiful girl, who had
been hastily married to him by her fntn
cr to prevent a match between herself
and a young Lord Somebody who was
her father a enemy.
"This hard hearted relative of mine
married her pgainst her wishes, and
then carried her away, almost broken
hearted, to a strango country, and into
tms gloomy old house. Ilo was double
her ago, and jealous us he could bo of
her former lover, whom ho thought was
separated from her forever. But it
wasn't bo, Grace. That young Lord
Somebody sworo that ho would rescuo
her yet, if ho had to murder her hus
band so ho started nt once for America,
whero ho spent a long time in vain
search for his lost love.
"lie must have been awtui plucky,"
interrupted uraco, with dilated pupils,
"Oh, yes, ho was but listen. One
day Camilla that was my great-great-
great-grandinother, you know was
weeping in tho summer house, when she
suddenly looked up and beheld her old
lover standing in tho doorway. Sho
vas overwhelmed with joy, and con
fessed that sho was wretched with hor
husband; and I supposo there occurred
quite a littlo love scene, for her husband,
overhearing the affair, rushed in,
plunged his dagger in the young lord's
heart, nnd carried Camilla fainting to
her room, whero he fluiiif her on tho bed,
Live and Let Live;'
nnaiocuing tijo uoor, aepartca. wnen
he'retttrncd It wns to find her dead. She
had taken her lifo with her own little
dagger."
"Oh I" gasped Grnco; "and what
then?"
"Then? Why, he went insano, of
course, although people didn't suspect it
.for sonio time, and, being nn artist,
painted her picture, which now hangs
f0n tho wall of tho haunted room."
' "Oh, do show it to mcl" exclaimed
jOraco, springing upj and Lena took the
jlight nnd led tho wuy to tho unhappy
brido's apartment.
"Wo never Use it; it hasn't been slept
'In for years," said Lena, opening the
Woor, "it is furnished just as it wns when
jtlio tragedy occurred. They call her the
Lady of Black Hall."
' Graco shivered as sho entered tlio great
cold chamber nnd glanced nt tho massive
mahogany bedslead.with its damask cur
,'tains, brought over from England years
tmd years ago. Everything wits cheer
less, gralntjuid time worn.
"This is the picture," safd Lena, hold
ing the candlo nbovo their heads; and
Graco taw beforo her tho full length pic
ture of a young nnd beautiful girl.within
..whoso great black eyes thero shono an
expression of intenso horror as sho seemed
about to plunge a tiny dagger within her
breast; her faco was deadly white, her
lips bloodless, her black hair unbound
nnd falling far below tho waist of her
white dress.
"Horrible!" exclaimed Grace. "Noono
but a madman would havo painted the
contemplated suicido of his. wife, and
dwelt so on tho horror sho felt in com
mitting tho deed. But Lena," sho con
tinued, after a pause, in which thoy
heard only tho wailing of the wind in
tho blanches without, "you don't believe
that she hnunts this place?"
"Of course not," aud Lena's sweet lips
curled.
"Well, then, do plcaso sleep hero to
night and find out for certain," pleaded
tho other.
And so it was nrranged, and old
"mammy built n great iiro on tlio long
deserted hearth, and tho commodore and
his wife laughed nt their girlish freak,
nnd bashful Bob essayed ono long, curi
ous look nt tho perpetrator of such a
wild scheiuo, and at 10 precisely the
household retired.
Grnco locked tho door nnd looked un
der tho bed, in tho closet, in the empty
bureau drawers and tho match safe,
vases nnd wash pitcher beforo jumping
into bod, to be sure that no ghosts wero
beings harbored on tho premises; and
then, kissing caclt other good night,
theso two girls feel into n sweet, tranquil
sleep.
How lung they had slept neitjierknew,
when suddenly both pairs of oyes flashed
open simultaneously and they wero wide
awake. Tho storm had gono down and
tho moon shono brightly, jind there,
standing in tho moonlight near tho win
dow, was it woman in white, with long,
trailing, black hair. Neither girl scream
ed, but Lena clasped her friend's hand
convulsively, and tho latter returned it
with a steady, firm, warm pressure,
which said as plain as word, "Perfectly
quiet."
Then tho figure turned, and, fixing her
mournful black eyes on the occupants
of tint bed, which fortunately btood in
thu shadow, sho raised ono hand'disclos
ing a gleaming dagger. At this Lena
nhnost screamed, but Graco's little iron
hand heeined holding her back, aud she
lay trembling, whito and motionless, in
tho back part of tho bed.
"I nover heard of a ghost labting so
long," thought Grace. Then the woman
walked to tho window. Light as a feath
er Graco slid on to tho floor, nnd, ap
proaching tho figure, caught her long,
black hair in ono hand. Off came a
massivo wig; tho creature turned with
an exclamation of "By thunder!" and

person can look unmoved upon the sub

without being uplifted; without recog

wholesome feeling of tho utter insignifi

belongs. And there aro very many to
whom such a feeling is a needed tonlo

THE STREET SINGER.-
Of all the days that's In the week,
I dearly lo o but ono day,
. And that's the day that comes betwixt
A Saturday and Monday.
It was an old, old song. But the voico
that sang it wasn't old by any means. It
wns freBh and clear nnd sweet and
strong. And it came ringing out from
tho dirty, foul-smelling alley, reminding
ono of a timo when I heard a bird song
como floating, up from tho dark hold of
a ship.
Down tho street, as if lid wero in n
great hurry to get somewhere, came
Professor Halo, tho man who taught tho
children of tho rich people uptown how
to sing.
Ho looked tired and worried as if tho
harmony of tho day had jangled all out
of tuno. All at onco ho, too, heard tho
voico, and now it was Binging;
TIs then 1 dress up In my best,
And walk out with my Sally;
Sho la tho darling of my heart,
And sho lives down lu our alley.
Tlio grave professor seemed suddenly
to forget his hurry. Ho Btopped stock
still.
"By jovo! What n voice!" lie ejacu
lated, as tho tone sank to n plaintive,
vibrating minor that thrilled through
tho murky ntmosphero llko tt burst of
sunshine. And then he went In pursuit
of tho voice.
In .a two wheeled huckster's cart,
which had been disabled and deserted,
stood n littlo girl about I) years old. Sho
had on n red calico dress." It was pretty
dirty, but apparently tho littlo girl
thought sho was dressed up.
Sho had washed her face back as far
as her ears, so that ho could seo that sho
was very pretty. Her Bkin was iv clear
oli ve. Her eyes wero big and bright and
brown. Her iiair was almost the color
of mahogany and hung In thick, tangled
curls down below her waist.
Sho woro no stockings, but on her
feet was a pair of bluo satin boots, with
tassels nt tho top, and littlo pointed heels,
such as the chorus girls in the opera
wear.
Sho was standing with her head
thrown back, her littlo hands clasped
tightly across her chest, singing with all
her might. Around her wero grouped
about a dozen littlo gamins of tho alley,
who, if not appreciative listeners, wero
very enthusiastic ones.
When the professor appeared the en
tertainment stopped and the littlo singer
looked as Bliy and as confused aa if sho
had been caught doing something
naughty.
But the professor did not notice her
confusion. Ho pushed his way right
through the dirty, sticky little group
and up to. tho side of tho cart.
"What is vour nniiifi?"' lu naW.,! .,,..
Ty, "and whero do you live?"
hhyly twisting her fingers, into tho
folds of her red skirt, tho little girl an
swered, in n confused way:
"My name is Alice Flynn, nnd I livo
down there," nodding her head toward n
basement near.
"Who taught you to sing?"
"Nobody. I always knowed how,"
answered tlio littlo one, with a side look
at her companions.
"Whom do you llvo with?"' was tho pro-1
fessor's noxt question.
"Gran'ma," answered Alice.
"Will you take me to see your grand
mother?" asked the professor, suddenly.
Instead of answering him Alico looked
at Iier nudienco nnd giggled. Professor
Halo evidently know how to gain his
point,.for, taking n silver coin from his
pocket, ho Bald:
"I'll give you this if you'll take me to
your grandmother. Will you go now?"
"Oil, won't I, justl" exclaimed Alice,
and bIio scrambled over the wheel of the
cart. "Come right this way."
Tlio professor gingerly picked his way
down the dirty steps into tlio dingy
cellar which Alico called home. Sitting
in an old rocking chair, smoking a rank
smelling pipe, was a vory old woman.
Sho was bo nearly blind that sho didn't
notice at first that Alice had company.
Sho heard tho footsteps, and began:
"I think it's timo yo was a-gettin'
homo, you good-for-nothin' littlo trollop.
An' if yo ain't brought the price o' a sup
o' tay and a bit o' bacon it will bo th'
worse for ye."
"I've brought a gentleman with me,"
said Alice. "He wanted to come and
see you, and here's a quarter for your tea
and bacon. Ho givo it to mo for bring
in' hiuj."
Tlio old woman lifted her shaking
head and looked nt tho professor with
watery, bloodshot eyes. Tho professor
didn't waste any words.
"Madam," ho said, "this little girl has
a wonderful voice. I want to take her
home and teach her to sing. Aro you
willing that sho should go?"
"And what would I bo doin' widout
her?" whined tho old woman. "And me
wi' the rheumatiz that bad I can't be
puttin' mo foot to the floor."
"Well," said tho professor, "here's n
53 bill that I'll givo you. And I'll send
you that amount each week if you will
let me havo tho littlo girl."
The old woman hesitated a little at
first, thinking tliat perhaps the profes
sor would increase his oirer. But when
she saw that lie had no such intention
she accepted eagerly enough. And then
the gentleman took Alico by the "hand
and led her away, while tho grandmother
sat mumbling over tho crisp new green
back, without so much as giving her a
word of farewell,
Alice began to bo frightened. She
commenced to cry and kept on crying,
even when tho car stopped and the pro
fessor led her up to tho front of a beau
tiful houso looking right oif on the park.
She still cried and begged him to let
her go buck to her miserable alley and
her wretched old grandmother. She
didn't feel any better when she got in
side of the hall and stood on the soft
carpet among the pretty lightsome flow
ers. You sen sho wasn't used to it.
Tlio professor stepped to the foot of tho
stairs and called:
"Come down hero, Kitty. I want you."
And Kitty came, a beautiful little yellow
haired fairy, all in ribbons nnd lace, who
cried, as she ran downstairs:
"Oil, iapa, whero did you get that
little girl?"
"I found her down in our alley," an
swered the professor, with a twinkle in
his eyo.
"How do you do, little girl?" said Kitty.
"What pretty hair you've got; and, oh
myl what lovelv hoots! Where did you
get them?"
Alico was all right now. Sho wasn't
afraid any moro and she answered very
promptly aud confidentially.
"I bought 'em of tho ragman for fi
cent, and I got this dress from the rag
man, too. Ain't it a daisy?"
In a very fow minutes the little girls

wero cnattttig away as ir tnoy niiu
known each other nlwnvs. And then
Professor Halo told l is daughter to go
onu can her nttrso. When Bho appeared
ho Bald;
"Mary, you may take this littlo girl
upstairs and givo her a bath, and dress
her in some of Miss Kitty's clothes, To
morrow you may go out and seo about
getting her some clothes of her own. and
rou may fix tip tho littlo room next to
yours for hor to sleep in. Sho is going
to stay yum us tor a While.

It was night in tho gay city of Paris,
and tlio grand opera house was nil ablazo
with a thousand lights.
Up and down through tho gilded foyer
gay couples were walking, and as they
walked they talked of tho young girl who
was to sing that night.
"They Bay sho is very beautiful." said
one, "aud that she sings like all the birds
in the forest."
"She's young," saldanother. "onlv in.
tho bills say. And yet she has studied
under all tho masters, and they pro
nounced her wonderful,"
I ani sure you havo guessed by this
umo mat tne singer was no other than
our little girl of tho alloy. Alico Flvnn.
It was n daring thine to brinir her nut In
tho gay capital beforo all tho critics, but
Professor Halo was a man. who1 dared.
Ho proved that when ho first took chnrgo
ui ince.
At last it was time" for her to nnnenr.
Sho came forward almost as timidly as
bho ursc eiuereu tno great house pn Fifty-ninth
Btreet in Now York.
Tlio hundreds of people, tho dazzling
lights, tlio sudden burst of applauso nnd
the hush of expectation which followed
it wero nil so confusing that Alico was
bewildered.
Her ilrst impulse was to turn nnd run.
but then sho remembered what Professor
llalo had said to her:
"I am looking forward to the greatest
triumph of my lifo to-night.' You must
not disappoint mo.
He wns standing in tho flies now,
breathlessly watching hor, and Alico said
to herself, desperately, "I must not fail."
And sho did not. Her voico tremldcl
a little at first, and the people began to
iuui ui eacn other signilicantly.
And then But who could describe
that song? When sho ceased tho great
audience sat silent and in tears.
Then from a thousand lips came the
"Bravo! bravo! Call her back! Encore!
encore!"
When Alico came forward tho second
time sho found herself? confronted by a
barricade of roses, which her enthusias
tic audience had piled in front of the
footlights.
Sho never know what made her do it.
Sho hadn't thought of iho old song for.
years. But it came to lier now, and
without any assistance from the orches
tra bIio sang:
Of all tho days that's In (ho week,
I dearly lovo but ono day,
. And that's tho day that comes botwlxt
A Saturday and Monday.
The air was still quivering with the
homely pathos of her pathetic minor
koy when from the pit thero came n
startled cry of "FIrol Tho wings aro on
fire!"
Of courso thero was n stampede. Some
one sprang from tho right of tho stage
and seized Alico's arm.
nComo this way. There's, a solid wall
of firo on tlio other side. It started in
tho green room and crept around to the
stage."
"But Mr. Halo is there," said Alice,
fearfully.
"Well, he'll havo to stay thero, then,"
said the man, "for nobody can get at
him now." Ho still attempted to drag
Alico away.
"Butsomo ono must got nt him. 1
will not go and leavo him hero."
"I toll you it is madness," cried the
man. "It's sure death to go near that
side."
"Then I'll stay and die with him," said
Alice, firmly.
Then, with a presence of mind that
was wonderful, sho ran to tho dressing
room, seized a long woolen cloak, on
which she emptied tlio contents of the
silver ico pitcher, nnd wrapping herself
in it, sho plunged bt might through the
wall of flro.
Mr. Halo .was not where sho thought.
Sho ran about through the stilling smoke,
but could not find him. The man who
tried to hold her back btood in tho center
of the stage, dazed.
Sonio ono ran up and seized him by tho
shoulders, asking in a frightened voice:
"Whero is Bhe? Whero is Alico?"
It was Professor Halo. Ho had escaped
from the other side.
Dumb witli astonishment and terror,
tho man pointed toward tho flies, which
wero now njuass of flame.
"Why did you let her go in there?"
"She thougjit you were thero and she
went to save you," was tho answer.
The professor, lieforo tho othor could
prevent him, sprang if) after lier.
An instant later ho dragged her out on
tho slage. Streams of water began to
play over tho flames, and soon tho two
men were ablo to raako their way out to
tho street, carrying Alico between them.
In splto of tho long cloak the lire had
dealt cruelly with her. For several min
utes sho sliowcd no Bign of life. Then
sho ojioned her eyes and made an effort
to lift her head,
Tho professor raised her tenderly up
in his linns. Sho Icoked 'into his eyes
pleadingly for a moment and thenn mist
seemed to gather. Sho lifted her right
hand with a pathetic little gesture and
faintly, tremulously, but sweet and plain
tive as over camo tho strain:
"And she Uvea down In our allev."
That was all.
