It waa a dreary winter oigLt; tie
snow lav thick upon tho ttyrountl, and
the wind went wandering through
the narrow citj streets, not wailing'
lugubriously, then shrieking shrilly ;
rattling at the door and windows,
and thundering over the housetops,
making the people tremble in' their
beds. The wild wind seemed to have
same special business in the world
this night, as it went careering and
raging -ouud and round, driving the
good folks into their houses, hurling
down chimney-pots, tearing up old
trees, plaving at hiad-and-seek in the
churchyards as though it would wake
the dead, and failing that, flying up
to the eteeple, bowling funousiy, strid

endeavor to send it crashing on the
graves below. If it could only have

a brave untliftcbing spirit had under

which resulted in his condensation

the people, one quettiuu bad llown
from lip tt lip during the d3y, but
night came and le'.t it unanswered
' Who was to fulBU the ghastly office
of headsman to the King?" It was
not to be the common executioner
that was well known ; but oa whom,
then, would devolve the responsible
'jffice? It must be a practiced bund
who would strike one blow and have
done. One thin-? alone was kaown
that at twelve o'clock on the morn
ing of the 30tb of January the
King .9 Lead was to fall.
The night that was to herald euth
a morrow was the very dreariest of
ibe dreary wiutcr. The wind had
puffed out'tbc tiny oil-lamps that lil
the streets with its Drst breath, and
they were dull, dark and almost de
serted. Still the snow fell and the
wind wailed on. It was nearly mid
night, when a solitary pedestrian
wended his way through the silent
citv. He was wrapped in a square
'oquelare, and wore his bat pulled
low over bis eves. He burned along,
looking neither to the right
or the
left, not even pausing for a second,
till he reached a shabby, narrow
street in the purlieus of Westminster,
witn rickety, tumble down houses on
escb side. He looked cautiously
ruund Lim, laid Lis band upon a
latched door, and entered one of
these miserable abodes of humanity.
There was a low whi.pringof voices
ia the dark passage: then be ascend-
steep flight of worm eaten stairs,
and was shown into a room occupied
by one solitary man. The door
closed behind him, and they two
were left alone. For a moment they
gazed on each ether's face ; there
was no hand shaking, not a single
word cf greeting passed between
them. The occupant of the room
was a large, heavy limbed man of
the lowest order, with a bloated face
and & ferocious cast of countenance.
One huge land lay clenched upon
the table, as he leaned forward .and
scanned his visitor from beneath bis
bushy brows He was the first to
speak.
'Wei', I don't suppose you'recome
here for ibe pleasure cf looking at
roe," be said, wi;h a ghastly grin.
"That's your writing and your sign
ing, I suppose?" He held forth a
crampled bit of paper as he spoke.
His visitor bowed bis head io to
ken of assot, but said nothing.
"Well, what do yo want folks
don't seek out the likes 'o m for
co'.bing. Tell me quickly what yoa
want; it is past midnight, and I've
wotk to do to-morrow that needs a
steady band."
"It is on that matter, I desire to
speak to yon," replitd bis visitor in a
cold, calculating tone. "You are
here by command of Oliver Crom
well to" carry out the execution of
Charles Stuart. What is yocr fee ?"
"Yoa're curious, master; but 1
don't mind telling you My price
for the iob is twenty golden pieces."
"Let me take your place and 111
cake it ten times more," exclaimed
his visitor. Richard, butcher, though

of St Ives, recoiled before the eager j
voice of the speaker. Was be mad ?

'I'm sorry for your oath," replied
Brandon, "yon might have kept it

"'I tell you 1 have watched and

"Rah!" interrupted the man; a
blow ia the dark would have served
your purpose, and the country would
have been aved much cost and
trouble; no one would have asked
who struck the blow "
"Man! I would be his executioner,
not his assassin !'' exclaimed his visi
tor fiercely
"You g'cntlefolk draw nice distinc
tions," sneered Kicuaru lranaon.
"Time flies," rejoined his visitor;
"there aro no moments to waste in
qnibling or useless argumoat. I
make you an offer which will Cll
year purse and spare you on unpleas
ant task. It can ne no pleasure to
behead the King."
"But it would be an uncommonly
unpleasant thing for me to put my
head in his place."
"You run no risk," replied the
other: "in case of any discovery or
failure my bead is in peril, not yours;
but discovery is impossible Your
persan is unknown to the prison au
thorities unknown to the people out
side unknown even to Cromwell ;
in addition to which you are to be
cloaked and masked. Who could
tell what form or face is hidden by
such disguise ? It is but a few min
utes work, then the execution is over,
the executioner disappears; no man
will care to look upon his face or
clasp him by the hand; they will
shrink from hirn a3 though he were a
pestilence stalking through the land.
Decide quickly. There is the money,"
he flund a bag of chinking coin
upon the table as be spoke "count
it. Give me your credentials and
disguise, and never fear bat all will
go well."
"How know I that?" said Bran
don, irresolute and sorely tempted.
"I was chosen for my skill; yon are
no professional, and may be but a
bungler at the work. I am only a
butcher, a slayer of innocent beasts,
and I would not be thr; torturer of a
King."
His visitor glanced keenly round
the room ; there was a huge billet of
wood lying iu the corner. He look
it up and placed it on the table.
"Give me an ax," Le said, and
draw a chalk lice where I shall
strike."
Without a word Richard Brandon
rose up, took a piece of chalk, and
drew a line across the wood. This
dona he produced aa ax scrutinized
it carefully, passed bis Cnger over its
keen sharp edge, and smiled satisfied.
"It should be a rare tool for such
fine work," be said. He balanced it
for a moment in bis land, then lifted
bis arm and Uerialing not a hair's
bredih either to the right of left! As
the wood fill on either side, with a
heavy thud both started, drew a long
breath, and looked on each other's
faces. The professional slayer felt
he was ia the prcfence of a master
hand.

him the disguise, the credentials, and

Mure than one crowned King bad

mighty King Death.
Tbe follies and the courtly viee3 or
the .Stuarts were fast fading into
matters of history ; and his Majesty
King George II. occupied the Eu
elih tbrcne. The noble family of
Stair bad lost many cf it3 valuable
possessions during the political ex
citement of past limes. At the pres
ent, the chief representatives of tbe
bouse of Stair hid fallen into disfa
vor with the King and contemplated
withdrawing himself from the Court.
He came of a proud and haughty
race, and could not brook the idea tf
a formal dismissal, which might any
hour befall him. He knew too well
tbe character of bis sovereign.
As he was walking along the Ox
ford road making a mental arrange
ment cf bis affairs, before retiring to
bis estate in Scotland, which be in
tended to do forthwith, a man step
ped suddenly ia frcnt of Lira, and
placed a letter in his hand. In seme
surprise at this mode of proceeding,
be opened and read as follows:
"My Lord your bravery is well
kaown; but will yoa have the cour
age to go to-morrow night to tie en
trance of Somersei House, where
you will find one whe (if you dare
follow bim) will conduct you to a
part of tbe town not much frequen

who is impatient to see you, and to
discover secrets which are ot more

whieh cannot be disclosed in a letter? i
If you are afraid this should be a

Lord Stair's surprise at reading
this strange requisition may be easi
ly imagined. At Erst be took it for
a tritkof sons secret enemy, or some
affair of gallantry, the heroine of
which bail probably ber own reasons
far such a mysterious summons.
However, be determined to go, let
the risk be what it might He buck

roamed. Flowing dawn almost to
his waist was a long white beard ; a
pair of unearthly eyes gleamed from
beneath bis frosted brows. On a
table by bis side was a small old
fashioned lamp. So soon as be
found himself alone with this unin
viting figure ho advanced cautiously
and, glancing suspiciously round him,
grasped bi3 sword. The old man's
dull eyes became fixed upon bis face,
a-tid a small, faint voice inquired if i
be were Lord Stair.
Lord Stair answered in the affir
mative, adding: "It ia you, I pre
sume, who have sent for me in this
mysterious fashion."
"Kneel down that I mar look npon
your face."
Strangely impelled by this author
itative tone, as well as some irresist
able feeling in bis own heart, Lord
Stair obeyed. Tbe old man seized
the lamp, and throwing the light full
upon his visitor's face, gazed at it
eagerly ; he then stretched forth bis
yellow, skeleton hand, and touched
his visitor's cheek. The yonng man
almost recoiled from it; be felt 83
though the hand of death were writ
ing his sign manual npon his brow.
"I see I recognize the features of
my race it is my own lost youth)
comeback again. No. v lift up your j
eyes and look on me."
Amazed, half stupefied, and yet
strangely affected, Lort Stair did as
he was bidden; but he saw nothing
there to stir bis memory. It wa3 a
face of an utter stranger, seemingly
belonging to another world.
"Your eyes do not recognize me,"
he said impatiently ; "but your soul
must, for it is akin to mine. Aye,
you may stare, but tue blood that
rushes flaming to your face now
comes from the same fountain as
that whicn stagnates and freezes in
mine. For years, long years, I've
yearned to look upon the face of mine
own race and blood ; a little while
and I shall be content to die ; but
not yet not yet. I have two things
to do. I should not lie quiet in my
grave if left undone."
Guided by bis directions Lord
Stair drew a heavy box from beneath
a bed.
"There, there," continued the old
man, "you will find papers which will
repair the losses you and your fami
ly have sustained ; deeds which will
restore you to estates enjoyed wrong
fully by other-". With the aid of
these you will easily recover proper
ty which is yours by descent; and
you will read the story cf my life, itis
written there."
Lord Stair hastily scanned the
documents and found that they were
precisely what the old man hinted,
and he raised bis eyes 'to bim in
wondering gratitude. lie would
have taken bis bony band and press
ed it to hi lip", bat the oM man
snat:hed it away, murmuring
"There's blood upon it- I've tried
to hide it, but it is always there."
Lord Stair recoiled a step, struck
by tbe sudden gesture, no less than
by the words, and theshuddering ex
pression that came into bis compan
ion's face. Tbe old man, observing
the reuu!-bn bis words created, put
forth his hand pleadingly a be ad Jed
"No, don't leave me yet; I am an
old man a very old man, and I
have repented. Oh God! have I
not repented ? Yea, f.-om the very
hour that I slaked my thirst for ven
geance, my blood begin to coul, and

secret to be buried with me, bnt it

me die until it his escaped oiy lips.
I have tried to die, bnt I could not ;
I was a coward and dared not." He
paused a moment, overcome by men
tal pain as well as physical exhaus
tion ; then, grasping his young kins
man's hand, be spoke again almost
n a whisper.
"You ren.embrr Cbar!e3 Stuart
"Cbarle3 the Martyr, as we call
bim now ? Yes, historically, I do
remember him," replied Lord Sta r
wondering at the question.
"I I but it is all written there'
rejoiaed the old man pointing to a
bundle of manuscripts. "I cannot
force my tongue to tell all only this ;
It was 1 who stood upon the scaf
fold cloaked and masked ; it was I
who struck tbe ungodly blow that
unkinged England, and sent a thrill

Overcome by Lis terrible retrospec

into an unconscious State, aiienuy,

The Indianpolis Journal cf tic
lsthsays: The workmea employed
to remodel Y. M. C. A. limit have
made many strange discoveries with
in the last few days. The building,
once known throughout all the sec
tion of the country as the "Ex
change," ras built, it will be remem
bered, in flush war times by Charles
W. Hall, an intimate friend of Gov
ernor Hendricks. The whole interi
or was designed exclusively for the
accommodation of the gambling pro
fession, and every appliance and
modarn improvement that would be
of tervicc to short-card manipulators
was put ia. The ground floor was
used as a livery stable, and the b;'C
ond floor was set apart for general
gatnbliug purposes. The rooni3 on
ibis floor were free to all, and were
frequented by the canaille who in
dulge ia games of chance promiscu
ously, without stopping to pick their
company. The large room ia the
rear of the Y. M. C. A. reading room
could only be entered from the roof
at the back part of the building, and
was intended mainly as a place o
concealment in the event of police
raids. This apartment will hereaf
ter be used as a chapel. Ia tearing
out partitions, ripping up floor and

workmen Lave discovered a bewil

tubes, etc., connecting with each
room, and rendering communication
with every nook and cranny perfect

used for Belfdt sporting parties and
placed at the disposal of dishonest
gamblers, who, by means of signal
wires under their feet, cculd keep
themselves informed of the strength

"Did I marry you I .t tLi.?" ex
claimed Mrs. Watts, subbing and
throwing herself on the ? jfa, making

Jakev said he didn't know what
she married Lim fi.r, but she wouldn't
catch bim telling Ler anything very
soon again, if she wa3 going to kick
up such a row about it, and went out
of the room LigLIy indignant.
When Mr. Watts came Lome Le
met Mrs. Walts in tLe Lall, with a
very red face, who pointed her fin-j
ger at him and jerked out the word j
"villain," and asked him if be could j
look bis innocent wife and infant soa i
ia the face. Mr. Watts showed that j
be could by staring very hard alter- i

"I know where you go, sir, when i
you stay away from home," contin-!
ued Mrs. Watts; "I've heard the sto-
rv of vour pertidv. Can't you tell j
me how Rachael ami that other wo
man is to-day?" she asked with forc
ed calmness.
Mr. Watts confessed his inability
to enlighten ber on the health of the
ladies about whom she was solicit
ous. Mrs. Watts said that she always
knew that something like this would
occur, and ended with another bis
terical interrogation after the chil
dren's health, but not receiving any
satisfactory answer, she threw fcer-
self on the sofa aain
and asked hr-
self a few times
why she bad ever!
left her mother's house, and then she
called Jakey to her and told him that,
they would have to live alone ia a
little house aad be very poor, aad
mavbe not have eaough to cat,
which made that hopeful utter a se

About seven ycart? since Mr.
Charles L. HuUhiusoa, living on
Federal street, Allegheny, this state,
lost a va!nab!e watch and chain
while banting ducks among the little
ponds oa the I'eninsula. After a
Umg and patient ser-rch, which re
vealed no trace of the lost treasure,
the hunt was abandoned as hopeless!
It was a gif: of a very dear decca-ed
friend, and Mr. If. f,;: the loss v?rv
keenly. Last week, while here on a
visit, Le felt a stron? inclination tn
.renew his search for the missing time
piece, a&u L(. ngia went over the
ground formerly traversed bv him.
While sitting d .wa among the" bush
es to empty his boots of the sand
that had got tea into them, hecast his
eyes upwards, when lo! there hung
the watch and chain, just as they
hung seven years before, when the
young tWIJS now Brown inir I

singular relic. The watch has been
