He could perceive before hi m the dim outlines of a dismantled church, with its broad avenues of graves clustered around it. Bi .-sides the road, so close that lie could have touched it with Ids whip, he discovered an in distinct white object crouched upon one of the gr aves. Ih-solvcd upon knowing what it was, he dismounted and approach ed it. As he did so, it aro?e and tied rapi' jlv away. With his curios ity now fully aro"used he followed it. As it n -ared the church it turned and su ildenly confronted him. At this n joment a broad dare of light- flashed athwart tlie skv and irn a voting girl dre as ter-soaked iranaent. her hair failing in drenched coils ut -dn her shoulders. For an instant h cr white, scared Live was turned t nward him and her large sorrow h'ul eyes met his with an appealing look, then she seemed to melt in the solid hotly of the church. As well as the darkness permit ted, he examined the spot where he had disappeared, but could find no oiK-nin through which she could escaped. He called a'oti l that lie was a friend, and that she had nothing to fear. The only answer was the weird wail of the tempest through the broken arches. With a feeling akin to superstitious terror, he has tily reniountc 1 his horse, and did not draw rein until he reached the village inn. "Who occupies the old church yonder?" he enquired of t liis land lord. "Ah! you have seen it," exclaim ed the landlord, mysteriously. ""It?" echoed the traveler.

Wiii you i.ot trust me?" Keeping her eyes fixed upon him with the same distrustful look, si,. answered in a faint, far-oil' voice : "Your friendship or your enmity can le nothing to me. The world you live in by its wickedness and cruelty drove me to my death. I am doomed to this place until jus tice is done upon my destroyer." "Vou arc trying to mislead me. exclaimed Barclay. "You are n spirit, but a poor, starving, home less young girl. You have suften d miserably and I have resolved to re store you to your rights, as well as exact reparation from the man who has wronged you. He advanced toward her as he spoke and stretched out his arm t seize her. For an instant she seemed uncertain how to act, then even as his hind seemed to pass boldly ! through her shape, she melt- d into ; t the shadow of the place. This tme-' he did not pursue her. Her myst.- "' rious escape, which seemed to c v. firm her own words, began to ;:i.-1 press him with the belief that he-..; had indeed confronted a vislt.mt -t from the other world. Next morning, however, cool re flection taught him that he might easily have deceived himself in the excitement. He therefore resolved all the more obstinately to pur.-tie the investigation. For three nights following he se creted himself in the church and awaited her apfK-arar.ee, but i :s watch was fruitless.

The executioner was probably born in the scarlet, or had at all events served an appren ticeship to some master who had perpetuated the grim traditions of the craft. He and his aids bail paid careful attention to the machinery ; if the screws and the pulleys work ed slowly and roughly, that was all the better, so long as they did not kill.

In thelat- ter case he would apply himself with salts and essences t the revival of the mangled wreck of humanity, and rekindle the sparks of life by assitluous attentions, till the recov ery was so satisfactory that the tor ture might be resumed.

In the sixteenth century, and long afterward, that li censed inhumanity was recognized all over France, and abused if abuse may be said to be possible by the possessors of seiginoral rights, as well a3 by the provincial parlia ments, and governors. Remember ing the traditions of cruelty and in solence that have been multiplying themselves from time immemorial through the length and breadth of the land under the rule of harsh and irresponsible tyrants, we may have some conception of the revengeful spirit that was unchained when the mob had broken loose and become masters in their turn.

''Didn't we always do well by you?" said the New Yorker, as he sat down for an explanation. "Yes I believe so." "Didn't we ship goods prompt ly?' ' "Yes." "And did we press you when you were in a pinch ?" No." '"Did you get lower prices from the Boston house ?" "No, I can't say I did." "Then I can't understand why you should leave our house all of a sudden after buying of us for several years." "I know some explanation is due, and I will make one," replied the merchant. "You know I attend church ?" "Yes, and so do I." "Do you? I didn't know that. I am looked upon as aC'hristian. "So am I. I've got the date of my baptism rirtht here in my note book !" "Is that so? Well our church Is in need of repairs. We were talking it over the other day when the Bos ton drummer was in here, and lie at once subscribed ten dollars." "Ten dollars! Why that's only two kctrs of nails ! But me down for thirtv-five dollars cash, a new silk hat for every season, and a full suit of clothes for the minister." "Do you really mean it?" "Of course I do, and if that two cent Christian from Boston dares sign another five, I'll send you down a six hundred dollar church organ, and p.ay a man five hundred dol lars a year to play if We are a house w hich never make a great dis play of gospel hymns and religious tracts, but when a ISoston drummer bluffs, we show our religious hand ami rake in the pot every time.
