The third inci dent was inon- ini;a.rtaiit. and slial! la told at length. I am a g.K! slet-iH-r; I don't dream iim. li : I don't la-l:eve in dream warn ings and such things. I have no faith in ghost th.m-.'h 1 know fora fa.1 that uiy nrtlsius tl,.- -.. M.aks. have a laiih-e in their family as a fact, I say. Hut I ala.ut that time I ix-ed to try to .In-aui of j s,tish humor, and I burst out laughing, j The boy led the war .h.wn-stairs, ap a .vrtain lady, and s. one night 1 fell j M U1tl,.-t waseuuallv la-ndex.sl. ! tain ntlv keeiughis eves fixed on s.wue- a-l.s'p, and I did dream, antl this is what I dreauied : I thought I was in Kdinbiirg, wtan.lina,' iu Itinces street (and h-t uie find any street in Kngljnd, or anywhere eLse, to compare with that!, an-l waiting by the Waverly monument, tiaisite me was a hotel, w liich I suppose I was watc)iing, fcir tsit of it presently cairn-, as clear and vivid as life, Nelly Kraser, with a veil over her head ; she came slowly towanl uie and lifted her veil, revealing a face so white ami BiiseraUe that I sran-ely knew it, and tln-n, as I stepped fiirward. she raised one haixi, anil, pointing op across the gorge towanl the Iligh Street Hill, Vanished into a moving mist. Tlien the shadows la-g:in U. shift and siiuitie tliemselves, and presently .sat e&iiie an other vision from my dream. I was there still, stan. ling, but all the surround- oilier injis .-hanv-v-L I twiunl t. lie in a sart of shop or ntfii-e. A n.nutt-r wan f.re me, an.l all around ue were thin phantom tiures, with no feat tires that I could i-e. (ulyone atie.inr these mi-tr sliais-s had a visible human tuv. And that one advanced towanl me with a smile which I shall never f.rjet. It ".an the fin-e f a younir man. sli-rhtly .lra.p el. as if its owm-r wet-.- siiyor deferen tial, with blue, briirht eyes, and ieni;e, han.lsouie features, and tairliair, and lip. that s-emed to U- made for Lauofiter.and a smile that sh..ne like a jrii-am of sun shine there. And in a moment the face and forms had vanished. The darkness seemel to trow denser, I lu-anl ift steps wa!kinjr in the air. 1 felt as if a cold wiiid wen.' hlowiui; in my uv. Suddenly I saw the chill .ea shininir far otTuiidcr the w 'nite stars. A voice that w:is har-h broke out in h.'arse latiirhter Iw-side me, and then i I w.ike. Two days after I set out for K.linburs w ith three objet ts. I want.sl to rinult I an eminent adv.a-ate. I wanted to ir-t a 1 new servanL And I wanted at least to ! Slid out where the Krasers were. ' I saw the on-at adv.a-.ite, and he con l firmed my fears. " l"n!e the mi.-.iii;r j deel is f.mnd. my tU'jr sir." he sai.l in j hLs b!and;-t ai-ccnts. " your title is so de : f.i-tive as to la- lcir.diy worthless, sIk.iiI.I j a rival claimant arise." I did not see the Kr.is.-rs, but I -rot their address, and I wrote one lett.-r to the father, and four to the datijrht.-r. I enjruired a new man-servant in ihis w ay : Our n.-eil of a servant ia-ina pressing I went, for the first and last time of my life to a registry otfi.-e. The shop lay in the south of the town, up U'votul the Hisrh j stni't. and w hen I entered it there were ! several MiMtieil-l.a.kin U-itiirs. itni. rrti- nate applicants. 1 suppose, stan.tino 'round, la-hind the counter were a man I and a Woman, and to the former, lia .in I a prejudice in favor .f ii.iinr 1hls::, -ss j j witii my ..wi: sex. la.-j.tien perliajs of1 sliyncss, I applied. . He kept me waiting j a loatr time. Tii.-n he l.a.ktsl over a pro- liirious h-.L'.-r. and read me out numer- j ous apphmtions w hi. h were p.-rf t!y tin- I less. At la-it, however, he came to one which I thoiit-lit would do. I told him so, and he thereupon invited me to wait a little longer.' as the "youmr man'' in nuestion was likely to c-all shortly. At first I refused, but on consideration I le- t ided to pi ut and jf-t my hair cut, and which only existed in his own disorder then to return and see if the voting man I brain! were th.-re. Wh.-u 1 came back, some twenty min utes later, the small otti.-e w as full of peo ple. As I entered something in the ha'k of the place and the attitude of the fig ures stnick me as familiar. Hut I dis missed tiie idea at once. The shopman came t.i meet me. " The yimtur man is here, sir," he said, and hemmed with a wave of his hand to a tilire behind him. The liirure ad vanced. It was that of a iriaablook tns i bov rather than of a man, slight and fair j an.l ith the head a little .In. .ping. As j the lav ruistsl his face to l.a.k at me, I started back.

"Then, what the devil do yon mean," I broke .Hit, " by taeliavitu; in the way yon have been d.iin?" The boy started. Evidently he thought me off my head.

I turned rrind and , walked into the din in;: naiiu, telling the la.y to follow. There I poureil out a glass of w hisky and ;rave it to him.

I Next day nothing h:!pl-ned, and I ! meditated dismissftig Sydney. The day i alter an even la-cum-d which clumgisl ! the current of my thoughts, which, thank tiial, altered my whole life since, j and which has made Sydney Lock the j most faithful friend I have. It was late in the afteni.a.n a winter dusk. I was up-stairs in my lel-na.m, I writing a letter to Nelly, vow ing tliat I never would give her up, and yet seeing j no prosj-ects of ever Wing able to claim i her for my w ife. It was that hour when : the day la-gins to pass into the night, and : shadows have grown gigantic and men's thoughts are turning toward dinner. Sud.iei.iy I was aroused by a iUick step and a ku.a k at my da.r. I railed out: "Come in;" and Sydney ap:a-antl ou : the threshold. He La.ke.1 very pale and ! exi it.sl. as far as I could see him by the ' dim light of uiy candles and he sjake in a strange voitv. " He is here, sir, the old gentleman in ' gray in the -ussage." ; I jumped up, an.l was follow ing him ; in a moment. It must have la-en well : past tio'ciia k, and yet the lights in the i c.rri.tor were still uuiighted. I l.aike.1 ! all j.ntnL, llt could see no one. ; "Where?" I sai.L in whimper; for t j think the ghami and the laiy's strange i t.a.ks had frighteneil my nuiinnm-sense t out of me. i Sydney t.a.k me br the arm ond point- ed. I felt he was trembling all over, j And for my own part an nucomfortable ! chill seemed to la? creeping tlm-ngh my u uitMuont c-oiKtive. thing he could see in front. I held him blindly. We went down and crossed the hall, an.l then oat tf the front tl.sir into the cold air. It Was quite 'lark out side, though one or two blurred stars were Hickering- palely, ami the uus.n. I thought w a struggling la-hind a etomL Iiound tiie house we went, faster an.1 faster, into the ganlens at the hark and tlown the sloj.es towanl the sea.

Still be went on an.1 on. We were Hearing the beach now, and I rould hear the surf treating agaiust the na ks, antl dimly nee the white crests of the waves hanging in the foggy night.

I sai.l, in a tcrritjol whisper. Tiie la.y did not answer. He stopped dead. The .larkness was thick alamt as. We wen? standing in a mist, and even the blurred stars had faded out. Sudden ly I felt a wave break over my feet. And at tliat moment, hissing out and echoimz acntss the darkness, there grated in my ears the sound of a harsh and hollow laugh the very laugh I had heanl in my dream ! Taeglia.m was so dense that I could only see the outline of Syilney's body, though I was grasping him with my two hamls. There was a jierfeet silence. Still I stiaal there motion less, na.le.1 to tiie na ks. Then I felt the lsy Mart off again, towanl the house. Another wave wash ed up against my feet as I turned with him and began to ascend to the ganh-n again. The fog was growing thinner. Pn-sently it parted, and a stn.ng wind ssemed to have risen suddenly out of the sea. Now I could distinttly see Sydney's eyes still fixed on the invisible thing be fore him. I could see, t.ai, that we were mounting the pale avenue of fir tn-esjnd from the distant w iii.lowsof the library a dim light was casting shadows down upon (Mir faces. But we did not make for those windows. My guide turned otf to the left, and we entered the deserted part -f the house. I felt utterly spell bound. I seemed to have lost all power of Volition. I la-lieve I should blindly have followed that loy to my death. We ha.l plunged into a labyrinth of shadowy nams, leaving the outer air. How we got into that part of the house I cannot tell. I had not lavn there for years. Sydney tv-uld never have been in it, and yet he led me on rapidly and nev er faltentl or hesitated once. I think that the moon must have come out. for there was a faint light shining thn.ugh the windows as we passe. L an.l by that light he guided me. We missed several empty na.ms and passages, and at last came out into a long corridor. That, too, w e traversed. At the further end a do. r opened befon- as. I stepped thmugh it into my own library, and stiaal'there in the lamplight, gazing stupidly into Syd ney's face. He too had paused. But he never spoke awonl, norlia.ked at me. His eyes were fixed on a tall bookcase in a corner of the mum. Presently he began to move slow ly towanl it. and I, still hold ing him, followed. Then as we ap pn .ached it, to my utter amazement, the whole laa.kcase swung Kick upon its hinges, revealing a small closet, which I had never seen la-fun-, with some dusty mils of paper lying on a shelf w ithin it. J With a weird cry Sydney sprang forward wnTit hing himself fn.m my grasp. He j seued the pajajrs, and turning, thrust f them into my hand. Then with his face as white as snow ami eyes disten ded he raise. I one arm and pointed to the win.low. In another moment he had tottered back and fallen on the tita.r. But I was already at the window. In my frenzy I dashed my shoulder against it. The fastening gave. The glass came erashing dow n ala.ut me. I was .rtitsi.ie standing in the chill, blue night. Round me the wind was w hiningand blustering. The foe had melted away. Overhead the J stars were burning golden. The banish-j ed cl.mds Iiad gone. But no sign of any j human figure, man or ghost, was there. ; Only the desolate avenue, with its fir j trees Iwnding over it, an.l at the far end, j in tiie dimness, the high 111. .n over the j whitened sea ! When I went back into the library I : found Sydney in a dead faint on the floor. .; I rushed to the bell antl rang it till its ; tones went pealing and clashing thmugh the house.

Tile butt of a revolver peeped out on his right hip and another on his left hip. an.l the handle of a la.w ie knife stuck out of his shirt in fi-wit. He wore a sombren. of gigantic size, and he ha.l his pants in his boots. He had a tien-e ipwtee and mustache, and his eyes were as block as midnight. This awful man swaggered up and dow n the platform, and spit and smoked and swore. I made a calculation in pen cil on the end of mv trunk, an.1 I figured, that he could get away with six of us in about seventeen seconds. It was a frac tion over seventeen, but I gave him the benefit of the doubt. There were seven of us, but tiie seventh man was so short an.l slim and sickly-looking that I didn't count him in. Incase of a riot and the six of us being killed, he would probably te spared, as n4 worth the atmmitioii necessary to dispatch him.

When he had finished he said: " Now go, and if you come hack here I'll kill you." The big man went down the platform without a won I, jumped otf at the far end and during the half mile we Iuk I him in sight on the track he never turned his head.
