, There. were, strange thoughts crowding up
in the TOlad of Paul Allen before,hi; had driv
en a Mile with his novel =companion. They.
were no superstitious fear4—no feeling' f hor
ror at th'e cliise proximity of the dead.. He
was too Much accustomed to such things, al
though he had never . beeen lust the same
position with them before. But the, calm s
beauty of the face, he had Seen it in the
dint light of :the moon, haunted him, and be
seemed to feel . the look that crept out from
the halt-open lids as he had- qevotitrlt the
,gaze of woman before: - .And he began to
build fairy castles - in , which she was the lady
of 'his love, and to dream dreams of quiet
• ome affections and endearments, not with
just. such an. one as her, but.with her very
self. And thus. he *paid.- wake from his
' dream and smile at his own Wild fanOes, on
ly to%fall away in an instant into the same
foundationless 'vision again. ,lie, was, on
or
ditiary. ocasions,tro Ith•zinative man. •On the
contrary he was noted in 'the - office for his
matter-01-facttabits. He wassurprised now,
hims,el'at the v:agaries he wits tineontrollu
bly indulging in, yet still theY . ran on in spite
'of himself. He did 'not drise as rapidly as
his companions, SW - that when he crossed Har
lem raver t.e was surprised from his reveries
by seeing the firsefaint streaks of day begin
ning to shout up' in the east. . The next in
stant he was dashing furiously down tht, road
to the city, all his dreams giving-away to the
urgent necessity of securing „his contraband
loud in the Doctor's l ow : v . In a T e w„„ino.

Alleit r trraile.nO. reply - to the question, but
asking liudson and Foshay to drive his hot Se`
over to the stable while he thawed himself
out, he ~ ,at down by the grate, and in a .me
anent was lostin his-reveries again: Atiength

table, still envelopedsin the blankets they

fOrgotten to reinovei Allen

speaking of theeventi of this night, thit .he
could never accounofor the strange feelings
which had broughtl him , :to
. ths.room, :and
which now . 'dreW tan alinost uMonsciou.Sly
or.invOluntarilv to the- side of the dead girl.
With a feeling of almost. tenderness •he re
moved the covering - frem thei face, and again
met the same calm, t . weetlook that by mOon
light had_ stolen out froin, , the half-open lids.
Only now: made calmer, and sweeter, - and
lovelier far, by the mellow 'light oC early
morning shining,in . 'from the skylight. The
eyeball did not seem' shrunken; and - shriveled,
and sunk in, as is, generally the .case with the.
dead, but the deep blue orb Was full land
Tumid, and glistened as if *a tear had just ris,
en in it, and was ready to pour over upon the
long fringes of the lid. A lock of glossy ihair,,
had escaped from the knot in' which it! bad
been bound, and he smoothed back into its
place . With his. hand, but started - , back from
the touch of the ,marble coldness of "the 'face.:
Drawing a - stool to the side of . ..the table, be
sat down,. and, as if" bound by - a spell i . gazed
for an hour upon the still .and statue-like fea.,
turea and fortn before . hito.. The graVe-clOthes
were '`the same dress she had worn in life,
and.through its fOld.:'were displayed the grace
ful 'Piths .and the
. round, full* bust, almost,
save for some Slight emaciation,' the Sante as
if she had been alive. . . •
For, the first' time in years Paul !Allen
shrunk from the idea of Mutilating a hutnan
body. . It pas not the mere beauty of the one
beforehitll, for beauty and eoformitY had
heretofore, been all one- to him. But; there
was a -strange infatuation upon phial, 4nd he
.wished tier back it, the grave again rather than
the rude hand of even his favorite ',PrOfessor
shoUld apply the knife to her,.dead 41046
she might be. He had almost made ,up his
mini to beg that it might not be:done ; but
• he knew they 'would laugh at his. foolish feel.
ings, and, with a sigh and the beavie4' heart
he ever felt in his bbSoin, he rose toleave the .
room.. lie Stood a . moment to look once
again` upon the face that had median& an
impression upon him, „and took 'one of the
small hands, that lay mated upon the bosom,
in-his own. . • . - •
The rigidity had left it, and it seemed -to
sink under the'pressure of his; and he fancied
'it 'felt Warmer . than 'when ,before, he
had felt of it: geloOluta . s6 die fiteii—theie
.' J ,
seemed to him to be a slight l
but yet percep
tible glow upon thej foreheadjland- about the
lips; .Ho touched them, and they yielded to
the touch. He thatight, all at once, he could
see a gentle vivering of the. eyelids.. Was
he dreaming againi was it the work of
overwrought fiineyjl He apprOache'd his fig*
close to her's, and thought he -flt her breath.
upon ;his cheek, lle felt of her Wrist to as
certain if there was any pulse, and "could fan
cy. there was a slight thrill beneath his finger.
He was now thoroughly Touted and excited,
and tearing aside the covering from her chest,
he placed his hand' over her heart, and found
it distinctly beating, but Iw . ith a slow and
- struggling effort. I -

It.l.was the,work of an in l staiit to wrap her

communicating with the honse., and shout for
the Doctor, again and again, till he heard his

Diligent and faithful as ever in his studies

Ihe yet lived a dreamy, absent life.; Every
night till a late hour he Would sit; silent 'and
' thoughtful,' with Hudsop and . Foshay in the
office, taking no part in their cheerful or -Joe

'a word unless they sPoke of-Maud Mansfield

mood, and never spoke lightly of it, or men

profohnd study -and thought; so that it - was'
.often matter of controversy. with Hudsontind
Foshay, whether the memory of Maud Mans
field had nos produced a general rather than
a particular effect upon 'his mind, and wheth- .
