ty and reputation they sustain.

■NK CIIIUBH: OR (IIIO^T*
Hut now -li" returned once more Into
the usual routine ol the family. I fear
1 was uliable to repr all si>;iis of
ajritation when. n<»xt day. she enteied
the dinin? room, after we were seated,
and took her customary (dace at the
table. Her behavior was much ilie
same as before; bat her face was very
different. There was lipht in it now
and signs of mental movement. The
smooth forehead v. ould IK- occasionally
wrinkled, and she would fall into
moods which were evidently uot of in
sanity. but of absiraeted thought. She
took especial care that our eyes should
not meet. If by chance they did. in
stead of sinking hers, she kept them
steady, and openid them wider, is if
she was fixing tin in on nothing at all.
or she raised them still higher, as if
she was looking at something above
me. lief ore she allowed them to fall.
But the change in her altogether was
such that it must have attracted the
notice and roused the speculation of
Lady Hilton at least. For me. so well
did she act her part, that I was thrown
Into perplexity bj- it. Aud when day
after day passed and the longing to
speak to her grew, and remained uti
satisfied, new doubts arose. Perhaps
she was tired of me. I'erhaps her
new studies tilled her mind with the
clear, gladsome morning light of the
pure intellect, which always throws
doubt and distrust and a kind of ne
gation upon the roooniight of passion,
mysterious, and mingled ever with
faint shadows of pain. 1 walked as
in an unresting sleep. Utterly as I
loved her. I was yet alarmed and dis
tressed to find how entirely my being
had grown dependent upon her love;
how little of individual, self-existing.
Keif •upholding life, I seemed to have
left; how little I I«red for anything,
save as I could associate it witli her.
I was sitting late one night in my
room. I had all but given up hope of
her coining. I had. perhaps, deprived
her of the somnambulic power. 1 was
brooding over this possibility, when all
at once I felt as if I were looking into
the haunted room. It seemed to be
lighted by the moon, shining through
the stained windows. The feeling
came and went suddenly, as such vis
ions of places generally do: but this
had an Indescribable something about
it more clear and real than such res
urrections of the past, whether willed
or unwilled, commonly possess; and a
great longing seized me to look into
the room once more. I rose with a
sense of yielding to the irresistible,
left the room, groped my way through
the hall and up' the oak staircase— l
had never thought of taking a light
with ine — and entered tlie corridor.
No sooner had I entered it than the
thought sprung up in my mind— "What
if she should be there!" My heart
stood still for a moment, like a wound-
E(\ deer, and then bounded on, with a
pang in every bound. The corridor
was night itself, with a dim, bluish
gray light from the windows, sufficing
lo mark their own spaces. I stole
through it, and, without erring once,
went straight to the haunted cham
ber. The door stocd half open. I en
tered, and was bewildered by the dim,
mysterious, dreamy loveliness upon
which 1 GIMED. 'ITIF moon shone full
upon the windows, and a thousand
colored lights and shadows crossed
and intertwined upon the walls and
floor, all so soft, and mingling, and
undefined, that the brain was filled
as with a flickering dance of ghostly
rainbows. But I hail little time to
think of these; for out of the only dark
corner in the room came a white fig
ure, flitting across the chaos of lights,
liedewed, besprinkled, in-spattered, as
she passed, with their multitudinous
colors. 1 was speechless, motionless,
with something far beyond Joy. \\ ith
a low moan of delight Lady Alice sunk
Into my arms. Then, looking up with
a light laugh: "The scales are turned,
dear," she said. "You are In my pow
er, now; I brought you here. I thought
1 could, and I tried,*for I wanted s<»
much to see you ami you are coine."
She led me across the room to the
place where slie lmd IS-en seated, and
we sat side by side.
I thought you mil forgotten me
I said, "or had gn wn tired of me."
"Old you? Tbnt was unkind. You
have made my lijart HO still, that,
body and soul, I sleep at night."
"Then shall I never see you more?"
"We can meet here. This is the best
place. No one dares come near the
haunted room at night. We might
even venture In the evening. Look,
now, from where we are sitting, across
the air, between the windows and the
shadows on the floor. I>o you sec
nothing moving?"
I looked, but could see nothing She
resumed:
"I almost fancy, sometimes, that
what old stories say at>out this room
may lie true. I could fancy, now, that
I see dim, transparent forms iu an
cient armor, and iu strange antique
dress, men and women, moving about,
meeting, speaking, embracing, parting,
coming and going. But I was never
afraid of sueli beings. I am sure these
would uot, could not hurt us."
If the room was not really what it
was well tlttcd to lie— a rendezvous for
the ghosts of the past then either my
Imagination, liecoinlug more active A<
SHE tipoke, began to operate upon my
brain, or her fancies were mysterious
ly communicated te me; for I was per
suaded that I saw such dim, undefined,
forms as she described, of a substance
only denser than the moonlight, flitting
and floating about between the win
dows and TILL! illuminated floor. Could
they have been colored ahndrfwy
thrown from the Btalupu upon
the fine dust with which THE slightest
motion LU such an old and neglected
room must fill its atmosphere? I did
not think of that then, however.
"1 could persuade myself that I, too,
see them," I replied. "I cannot say
that I am afraid of such beings any
more than you if only they will not
speak."
"ALI," SDIE veplied. WITLI a lengthened
meaning utterance, expressing sym
pathy with what I said; "I know
what you mean. I, too, am afraid of
hearing things. And that reminds me,
I have never yet asked you about the
galloping horse. I. too, hear some
times the sound of a loose horseshoe
II alwuy.l betokens YV\L to M. ;
hut I do not know what It means. I>o
you?"
'Do you know," 1 rejoined, "thai
there IS,A connection between youi
family and mine, somewhere far back
IN their histories?"*
"No! Is there? How glad I am.
Then I>crhap.. you and I ate ULATE-T
AND that T'l how we are so much alike,
and have power over each other and
hear the same things."
"Yes. I suppose that Is how."
"But can you account for that sound
which we both hear?"
"1 will tell YV.U vli»t n»y old fostec
BUTLEK, PA..THUMSDAV, NOVEMBEU ISSSB
mother told me." I replied. And I be
gan narrating wi>« n and where l first
heard the sound: and then gave hei
as nearly a<* I colli3. the legend which
nurse had recount* il to me. I did not
tell her its association with the events
of my birth, for 1 feared exciting hei
imagination too i « eh. She listened
io ii very quietly. e>wev« r. and wiieti
I came to a close, only said:
"Of course, we <•: nnot tell how much
of it is true, but there may be some
thing in it. I hate never heard any
thing of the sort. Uiil I. too, have an
old nurse. She is with me still. You
shall see her som# dav."
She rose to go.
"Will you mcel me here again,
soon?" I said.
-As soon as you vish." she answer
ed.
"Then to-morrow at midnight."
"Ves."
And we parted st the door of the
haunted chamber. I watched the
flickering with which her whiteness
just set the darkness in motion, and
nothing more, seeming to see it long
after I knew she must have turned
aside and descended the steps leading
toward her own rocui. »lien I turned
and groped my way back to mine.
We often met aft r this In the haun
ted room. Indeed my spirit haunted
it all day and all night long. And
when we met amid the shadows, we
were wrapped in the mantle of love,
and from its folds looked our fearles.-
on the ghostly world al»out us. (Jhosts
or none, they never annoyed us. Our
love was a talisman; yea. an elixir
of life, which made us equal to tht
twice liorn —the disembodied dead.
And they were as a wall of fear about
us. to keep far off rlie unfriendly foot
and the prying eye.
In the griefs that followed I often
thought with my-elf that I would
gladly die for a thousand years, might
I then awake for one night in the
haunted chamber, r ghost, among the
ghosts who crowded its stained moon
-1 teams, and see my dead Alice smiling
across tlie glimmering rays, and beck
oning me to the < -Id nook, she. too,
having come awake out of the sleep
of death, in the dream of the haunted
chamber. "Might we but sit there,"
1 said, "tlvough the night, as of old.
and lore and comfort each other, till
the moon go down, and the pale dawn,
which is tlie ulgli. -if the ghosts, be
gin to arise, then gladly would I go
to sleep for auotliT thousand years,
in the hope that when I next beeome
conscious of life, It might be in an
other such ghostly night. In the cham
ber of glll-sts."

Time passed. Wc began to feel very

me.
"How nice to linve a candle." s!i

She did not reply to this with any
thing beyond a mere assent. Her
mind was fixed oh the poem Itself.
She began to talk about il. aud I »\t<s
surprised to lind how- thoroughly she
entered into it and understood It. She
seemed to have crowded the growth
of a lifetime into the last few months.
At length I told her how unhappy I
had felt for some time, at remaining
In Lord Hilton's house, as matters
now were.
"Then you must go," she said quite
quietly.
This troubled me.
"You do not mind It?"
"No. I shall be very glad."
"Will you go with me?" I asked,
perplexed.
"Of course I wIlL"

I was too much surprised to inter

"I never think about my age without

going up the stair to my mother's ro m
when she happened to notice a bright
star, uoi far from the new moon. As
she crossed the room with me iu her
arms, just after I was born, she HV
the same star almost on the tip of the
opposite horn. My mother died a week
after. Who knows how different 1
might have l>een if she had lived!
It was long before I spoke. The
awful and mysterious thoughts roused
In my mind by the revelat us of the
day. held me silent. At length I said,
half thinking aloud:
"Then you and I. Alice, were born
the same hour, and our mothers died
together;
Receiving no answer. I looked at her.
She was fast asleep, and breathing
gentle, full breaths. She had b en ■■it
tiug for some time with her head ly
ing on my shoulder and my arm
around her. I could not bear to wake
her.
We had been in this position perhaps
for half an hour, when suddenly a cold
shiver ran through me. and all at
once I became aware of the far-off
gallop of a horse. It drew nearer. On
and on it came- nearer and nearer.
Then came the clank of the broken
shoe.
At the same moment Alice started
from her sleep, and. springing to her
feet, stood an instant listening. Then
crying out, !• an agonized whisper.
"The horse with the clanking shoe!"
she flung her arms around me. Iler
face was as white as the spectral moon
which, flic moment I put the candle
out. looked in through a pane beside
us; and she gazed tearfully, yet wildly
defiant, toward the door. We clung
to each other. We heard the sound
come nearer and nearer, till it thun
dered right up to the very door of the
room terribly loud. It ceased. But
the doos was fltiDg open, and Lord
Hilton entered, followed by s rvants
with lights.
I have but a very confused remem
brance of what followed. I heard a
vile word from the lips of Lord-Hil
ton; I felt my lingers on his throat;
I received a blow on the head: and I
seem to remi nil er a cry of agony
from Alice as I fell. What happened
next I do not know.
When I came to myself I was lying
on a wide moor, with the night wind
blowing about me. I presume that 1
had wandered thither in a state of un
consciousness, after being turned out
of the hall, and iliat I had at last
fainted from loss of blood. I was tin
able TO move for a long time. At
length the morning broke and I found
myself not far from the ball. I crept
back, a mile or two, to the gates, and
having succeeded In rousing Alice's
old nurse, was taki R< in with many la
mentations. and IML lo bed in the
lodge 1 had a'l nt fever; and it
was ail the poor W'LMAN could do to
keep my present! a secret* from the
family at the Hall.
When I began to mend my first
question was about Alice. I learned,
though with sonic difficulty for my
kind attendant was evidently iiuwil
ling to tell ine all the truth that Alice,
too. had been very HT; and that, a week
before, they had removed her. But
she either would not. or could not tell
me where they had taken her. I be
lieved she could not. Nor do I know
for certain to this day.
Mrs. Blnkesley offered me the loan
of some o' her savings to get me to
London. I received It with gratitude,
and as soon as 1 was fit to travel made
my way thither. Afraid for my rea
son, if 1 had no employment to keep
my thought", fron' brooding on my
helplessness, and SO Increasing my de
spair, and determined likewise that my
failure should not make me burueu
sonie to anyone else, I enlisted iu the
Scotch Crays, before letting any of
my friends know where I was.
Through the help of one already men
tioned in my story, I soon obtained a
commission. From the field of Wa
terloo I rode into Rr.issels with a bro
ken arm and a sabre cut In the head.
As we passed along one of the streets
through all the clang of iron-shod
hoofs on the stones around tue, I
heard the ominous clank. At the
same moment I beard a cry. IT was
the voice of my Alice. I looked up.
At a barred window I saw her face,
but it was terribly changed. I drop
ped from my horse As soon as I was
able to move from he hospital 1 went
to the place, and fi ml it was a luna
tic asylum. I wai permitted to see
the inmates, but di • ovcred no one re
sembling her. I d( not now believe
that she was ever 'acre. But I may
be wrong. Nor v II I trouble my
reader with the il>i orles on which I
sought to account 1 r the vision. They
will occur to himse f readily enough.
For years and jenis I knew not
whether she was alive or dead. I
sought her far and icar. 1 wandered

hopelessly search it llsteiilrg at ta

haunting theatres and churches; often,

house to house; I d d not find her.
Once I visited Hilton Hall. I found

CHAPTI'B XVII.
TIIH FHVHICIAV.
I was now Captain Campbell, of the
Scotch <*reys, contriving to live on my
half pay. and thinking far more aln»ut
the past than the present or future.
My father was dead. My only brother
was also gone, and the property had
passed Into other hands. I had no
fixed place of abode, but went from
one spot to another, as the whim seiz
ed me—sometimes remaining months,
sometimes removing next day, but
generally choosing retired villages
about which 1 knew nothing.
I hail spent a week in a small town
on the borders of Wales, and intended
remaining a fortnight longer, when I
was suddenly seized with a violent ill
ness. In which I lay Insensible for
three weeks. When 1 recovered con
sciousness 1 found that my head had
L>een shaved, and that the cicatrice of
my old wound was occasionally very
painful. Of late I have suspected that
I had some operation performed upon
my skull during my illnes.S; but Dr.
Ruthwell never dropped a hint to
that effect. This was the friend whom,
when first I opened my seeing eyes.
1 beheld silting by aiy bedside, watch
ing the effect of his last prescrip
tion.
"You would BLUSH at me, Campbell,
were I to confess some of the liother
this Illness of yours has occasioned
me; ENOUISV., LUJUIIII. to overthrow anj
couceit I ever had in my own diagno
sis."
"Co on," I answ«*ed; "I promise
to laugh."
Tie little knew bow far I should be
from laughing.
"In your case," he continued, "the
pathognomonic, if you will excuse
medical slang, was »very now aud then
broken up by the LI iiislon of altogeth
or foreign sympton T."
I listened with 1 >athlcss attention.
"Indeed, oil seve D occasions, when
after meditating < your case till I
was worn out. I ha fallen half asleep
by your bedside. came to myself
with FIN? stranges conviction that I
was watching by t ? bedside of a wo
man."
"Thank heaven!" I exclaimed, start
ing up, "she still 11 -s!"
I need AOT doscri ■ the doctor's look
of amazement, all ost consternation,
for he thought a fi sh access of fever
was upon me. and 1 had already be
gun to rave. For his reassurance,
howover. I promis 1 to account fully
for my apparently senseless excite
ment; and that evi ling I commenced
the narrative whld forms the preced
ing part of this st< *y. Long before I
reached its close t y exultation had
vanished, and. as wrote it for him,
it ended with the E pressed conviction
that she must be de id. 10re long, how
ever, the hope o' ce more revived.
While, however, TL' • narrative was in
progress, I gave bin a summary which
amounted to this:

through the multitude, you could not
