' the imp or Puck of the family, baptismallit
known as-Hannah Maria, but familiarly (and
without: any disrespect in the world)-- hailed
as Froggy. She was _a dwarf; virtually, hut

made you start. She did nothing from
mourning till night, not a hand's turp for any

-The, whole crew, men, women, Juid dogs,
were kertnelled together. in the huge sitting
room. - But, a word--Ljust one word—for
Tom. Tom was the great Uncouth member
of,the Gringe family. In the Irish tongue he
was gaunt; which syllable-stands fur Mouth

no manners, no breeding, no schooling, no

lof standing with arms akimbo, she sets off
on aprogress of mischief. For she is highly

and, jitinping from the chair with her, big
arms ktoared, offers to fight the Imp, nr any
0-1 alerts Which, as before said, was very
; much the trngi-ettnietly of every night of the
long, year, as well AS.of this special Friday
night.
All this while Old Gringo had been sitting
thoughtfully back in his high "chair, rega:Aing
their antics Wearily, with his hands some
times on the head of little Jen, with his eyes
at times fixed to the ceiling 'with a story,
stare; nt times Teeing round the room like.
I horses, neck atid neclt.. Now a sigh; now a
.groan, no*, l clasping of the thin fingers to
gether. There must have been some deep
anguish and distress of mind at the bottom!
I of all this,- (it may be as well hinted at once,
it was - something penitential,) the whole lays
! tory of which lay in!the (net that this nip,ht
was/a Friday night, and that the month was
i the Ulalume month or October. Like
enough there hai been a wrong 'done of an
old tfctole...r.riontia, However that might be,
after a long spell of 'such weary throes, he
turned- to little Jen and said softly, " lend me
your tirm, child, while I go up to my
net end so leaning on her, who was as his
! *tick always, he passed out of the foam, -and
I was presently . unlocking that notable buhl
I cabinet of his.
"rather * " says little. Jen knowingly, icon
;','ant to fetch dorm the big writing.hook
` "1 4o', he_ansa - cted, "and tonight
above all nights in the scar. 0, if I could
but write-my soul clean and elev . !
Jen thought ho Must have done that long
since, if writing could do it; for every night
of their lives, the big book ca.mc
down. It was drawn fbrth from a little safe
inside the cabinet, which bad a - spring and a
click, and a shnottng bolt ;- and that hale safe
I was inside again a a little cupboard; so
there was positively no getting at the big
book. Little Jen wondered what ho wrote
in it; but never asked. So he came down ;
with the racket raging high about him,
t began to write. No on therefore heard
t those short groans and weary heark.soresighs
tharcame from him as he warmed to his
writing work. It was indeed likely enough
that Mr. Gringe had somewhere among Ins
chattels that ugly thing known as a closet
rskeletom •It was rather a great swollen hu
man body, all purple and blue , with decom
position,such as the curious may see every,
dav through the glass windows of the Morgue.
This horrid visitor used to come forth every
night and walk up close behind him, and nex
tA' go until nearly .morning. An importm
nate; insolent, horrid visitor—never to he
denied,seemingly—more importunate on this
I October night than any other in the year.
! • 4 . Regittftion, restitution!" he whispered
j to himself, his pen writing the words he whis
pered, "which has been sounding ding dung
nt my . ears for'so long back : it is - the only
cure, the only salvation. Better workhouse
than such a hell of thought
Here the universal racket struck in, and
general -outburst. The. Imp haring prhily
fixed a needle upright in a chair where sh,
knew T m would sil down. Sbe 14).4 a good
bunch of her hair by the transaction.
" litre another s year.come about now,"
he wrote on. "A year more of wretched
thought and contlct, and not one step nearer
to a resolve. Riches never brought with
them so complete a Nemesis ! It must end.
Restitutiori,it must tier
With that he took lorth a great foolscap
sheet, and began to write something !leaded,
"1, John Grmge, being of sound mind and
body," &e.,die.,and worked down steadily to
the foot, when it would. hare been a very
perfect instrumenelndeed, but fur the absence
of the signature. and- the two attesting wit
nesses. But the poOr brain-tossed man had
written a whole century of such instruments,
yet not one of them was ever executed. Fur
there were other influences tugging at Ern,
making the second party to the conflict.—
"Then these poor witless wretches' must go
out and 'oeg, or starve and die. Restitution or
starvation ! Starvation or restitution-S—which,
which? And all my doing!" Here he-cov
ered up laisface; and; swinging his long up
per person to and fro, groaned and groaned
•
agaitt.
Perhaps- it was this that prevented his
ing heed of a letter that little Jen had been.
mainly putthing into bls hands for the lastfew
seconds. The pcstman bad just broughtone,
lie opened - it, and began to read mechanical.
lyi but was presently trembling all aver
with excitement., .Yet he merely said, in a
low voice, "It wants but . this---it wanted
but.this!" and read it through some half-a
dozen time,a., The letter was on .soiled pa
per; was dated from the mean house•of- call
in t he city, and was very short . --.-so abort that

was about as much at hoMe as though she
had been there a whole twelve-month—nay,
had taken NI a quiet tone of influence and
authority over the wild crew, which they fell
under at once unresistingly. -
" You are as bad as Ebisjesmen, d.nrs," she

"They're not account.," say; Tom,—
"they're his life and adventures. My eve!

away mysteriously on tiptoe.

One of those lonely Oetobei • nights when

flame. It was all told in a low, mysterious

bent - forward to the lamp also, and, his thin

CHAPTER II
A gray, cold; shivering day, with keen,Ya
zor-cdged blasts MI abroad—dark, sunless,
and dispiriting. The crew, who were, as it
were, on strike, prowled sullenly in corners,
as if they too felt its influence: Old Gringe
.was not seen at all ; but kept' hithself close
in strict retreat in his own "Chamber. He

time that coritm's ear was laid to the key;

it, grew darkee., colder; and more misera
ble, until it eame l to 5 o'clock, when the Rev
erend Josh Mac Scarbriar—sent for at Gring.
e's own request—arritied. and was shown to
Gringe's own chamber. That swaddling di.
tine ranted and rayed, and shrieked .eternal
torments at him, fin- a good two litmus; un
til, indeed, froth gathered ()a the man's mouth
and his eyehalla protruded. • He these Runt
his way.
Fin Tilly, about 7 o'cloch,.-the old man him.
self came tottering down; candle in hand.
looking like a true ghost; quite ghastly. and
all shrunken away since morning. The skin
was tightened, drumlike, over his face, and_
he was bent down like a tall tree in a gale.
-The day, and the' Reverend Josh Mac Scar.
briar, conjointly, had 'done their work. What
*was to be.tho end of it all? •
But, when that spectral:figure carne totter
ing, in ieebly, the candle dancing up and'down
in his fingers, looking just as though he had
come from his family vault., instead of his
room, he found complete Pandemonium rife.
Then came Babel noise and confusion; and a.
ring formed in the centre of the room, with'
cries of " Well dime! At him boy !" and
othi•r encouragement. In short, there was a
dog•fight going _on between the- poor old
French poodle
,and the bound, being set
against one anothen by the crew ; not being:
got to fight, it must lie owned, without diffi
culty. Just as the, old. man entered, .the
sport Might he said to be over; for . the old
poodle had toppled over on his head- and 'was
kicking out his-lean hind Paws in extremity
of death, the hound baying made his fa
meet in his throat. A very easy - victory it
was. Somewhat sobered, the crew looked
round, and were quite scared at seeing this
ghostly old man shaking his shrivelled . arm
at then; invoking speechless. punishment: on
their heads, and . then tottering away "as he
came. They heard him call feebly fur !Ce
ram Who came to hint: •
"Tell Scrivendish and bk.clerk," ho siaid,
".to be here the first thing in the irsornir:g." - '
Joyfully and sweetly she laid herself down
to rest that night, for she knew now • thrit ev
erything mould be signed, sealed, an& deliv:
ered with perfect regularity in the baointitg.
True, little Jen had come to her, and -told her
that she now 'saw what her wicked plot was;
that she, Comm, was killing her poor father
by inches, with what end she knew perfeetly
and that, aurely- as the sun rose, she wonk
go to him and expose to him the whole 'plot.
" Bah !" said Coram, with a loud laugh.
The morning - of this anniverSary—the 31st
of October—was now come, and Scrivendish
and clerk wee waiting below in the gloomy
chamber. They were shivering ; 'blue with
cold. They were bidden .to be in waiting at
eight o'clock punctually, and there they were
at eight o'clock with writing n-aerials all
ready. Coram came down with secret glee.
" You are to-go. up stairs,- gentte,men ; I
hear Mr. Gringo stirring in his room. Please
to walk Up,"
Old .Gringe, with Lice sharpened 'from
overnight into hatchet shape, peered out at i
them from the halfopened door. , •
" Who are there?" he said, in a pryingin.
quisitive way. "0 ! I know now. Walk
in. Be seated. Everything is very corn
fortable,'as you see."
They walked in, and got out their papers.
"Glad to see you looking so well," beriv
endiAh said, not regarding much the truth of
his speech.
" We had a death in the lionse last night-,
Sir," Gringo went or: ; "an - old poodle dog,
Sir. "Avery sad thing. He is to be • inter
red, tomorrow with every respect."
Scrivendish looked "at his clerk. •
" You wished your will, sir, -to be drawn?".
"So 1 did," raid Gringe; " .Ire you ready'?"
"Quite," said the other.
"Just wait a second," said Gringe, "going
over to the bed ; " mast do these things
in the regular way—according 'to laW."
And he put on "a- paper cocked hat, and
took a walking stick solemnlyinto his hand;•
and sat down before them with cheeks putrect
out and ridiculous dignity.

The game was up for Coram, just as she
was winnirg„ too; which was the more
.pro.
yoking. In a comfortable and select estab

fur the remainder of his days, having at last

his superiority over every living prayer.

revelations point us to a period long ere this
