1 he bill settled the landlord wink-
ed at him in a peculiar way land
lords have, ' and invited him into a
smalt apartment at tho bark. The
stranger and the dog followed him
unhesitatingly the dog running be
fore, and sniffling at the walls as
though ho scented prey.
Through a dark passairo. and into
a round appartment, lighted only by
a single lamp suspended from the
contra of the coiling, wont Rudolph,
and taking down from a' shelf set
out with bottles, a decanter s and

Uut tho man drew Iwok, and with
uplifted finger poioting to tho trom

"Satan! doyonraotyl"
Quick as lightning tho dog sprang
upon Rudolph, and dragged him up
ou the fatal spot boneatb the lamp.
There was a dull crash, and stilled
sound of afoarful curse taifchod out
upon the font air which rushed np
from the sinking trap-holo, and Rud
olph Vredricks had disappeared
through tho floor, and the dagt with
a savnim crrcwl of Batisfaatitar turned

The stranger slept that night at tlie

do, departed iu tho morning before
any one was astir. 1 1 ,
uireat was too consternation

Wolf when Rudolf was found to be
missing, lor many days the search
went on, and. but for. tho re-p near-

But the stranger, whoso name was
(lotthold, lod the way at once to the

breath of tlurchariiel house air rush
