The pale atmosphm‘e in the I‘nom beâ€" gan now 10 reddon as if in the air of some near conflagmtion. The larvae grew lurid as things that live in fire. Again the room vibrated; again were heard the three measured knocks: and ‘ag‘uin all things were swallowed up in 1119 darkness of the Shadow, as if nut. of 11131; darkness all 11ml mum, into that darkness n'I] returned. Nothing' now was left but the Shad- ow, and on that my eyes were intent- ly fixed, till again eyes grew out of the. Shadowâ€"malignant, serpent eyes. And the bubbles of light again rose and. full, and in their disordered, irreâ€" gular, turbulent maze, mingled with the wan moonlight. And now from these globules themselves, as from the shell of an egg, monstrous things burst out; The air grew filled with them; larvae so bloodless and so hideous that 1 can in no way describe them except lo.“ remind the reader of the swarming life which the solar microscope brings before. his eyes in a drop of waterâ€"â€" things ira nsparent, supple, agile, chasâ€" ing; ouch other, devouring each otherâ€"- forms, like nought ever beheld by the naked eye. As the shapes were with- out symmetry, so their movements were. without order. in their very vagâ€" rancies there was no sport; they came round me and round, thicker and fastâ€" er and swifter, swarming over my head, crawling over my right arm, which was outstretched in involunlzu'y command against all evil beings. Sometimes I felt. myself touched, but not. by them; in~ visible hands touched me. Once [felt the clutch as of cold soft fingers at my throat. I was still equally consâ€" cious that. if I gave. way 10 fear I should he in bodily peril; and Iconrientratâ€" ed. all my faculties in the single; focus of rosisting. stubborn will. 'And I turned my sight from the shadowâ€"â€" above. all, from those strange serpent ‘eyesâ€"wyns that had now become dis- tinctly visibleâ€"For there, lhough in nought else around me, I was aware that there was :1 \VILL. and awill of inionHe, creativo, working evil, which might crush down my own. as of a corpserstnd beside the corpse there cowered «‘23, (child, a miserable squfigfid child, w’iff; faminei'ri its cheeks; and tear in itseyes. And as I lookdd in the 01d woman‘s face, the wrinkles and lines vanished, and it became a face of youthâ€"hardâ€"eyed. stony. but still youth; and the Shadow darted forth, and darkened over these phantoms as it had darkened over the last. The closet door to the right of the fireplace now opened, and from the aperture there came the form of awoâ€" mun. aged. 11: her hand she held let- tersâ€"«the very letters over which Ihad seen the Hand close; and behind her I heard a footstep. She turned round as If to lisien, and then she opened the letters and seemed to read; and over her shoulder I saw a livid face, the face us of a man long drownedâ€"bloated, bleachedâ€"seaweed tangled in its drip» piug hair; andwat her feet lay a form As if from the door, though it: did not open, there grew out another shape equally distinct, equally ghastlyâ€"a man’s shape-a young man’s. It was in the dress of the last century, or rather in a likeness of such dress; for both the male shape and the female, though defined, were evidently unsubâ€" stantial, impalpableâ€"simulaera, phan- tasms; and there was something incon- gruous, grotesque, yet fearful, in the aontrast between the elaborate finery the courtly precision of that oldâ€"fash- ioned garb, with its ruffles and lace and buckles, and the corpseâ€"like asâ€" pect and ghostâ€"like stillness of the flit.â€" ting wearer. Just as the male shape approached the female, the dark Shadâ€" ow started from the wall, all three for a, moment wrapped in darkness. \Vhen the pale light returned, the two phanâ€" toms were as if in the grasp of the Shadow that towered between them; and there was a blood-stain on the breast of the female; and the phantom male was leaning on its phantom sword. and blood seemed trickling fast from the ruffles, from the lace; and the darkness of the intermediate Shadows swallowed them opt-they were gone. And again the bubbles of light shot. and sailed, and undulated, growing thicker and thicker and more wildly confused in their movements. ' As those sounds slowly ceased, Ifelt the whole room vibrate sensibly; and at the far end there rose, as from the floor, sparks or globules like bubbles of light, manymoloredlâ€"green,’ yolloW, fire-red. azure. Up and down, to and fro, hither, thither, as tiny \Villâ€"o’â€" theâ€"\Visps, the sparks moved, slow or swift. each at its own ceprrioe. A chair, as in the drawing room below, was now advanced from the wall. without alllmrem agency. and placed at the opâ€" posite side of the table. Suddenly, as forth from the chair, there grew a Shapeâ€"a woman’s shape. it was disâ€" tinct as a shape of lifeâ€"ghastly as a shape olf death. The face was thth of youth, with a strange mournful beau- ty ; the throat and shoulders were here, the rest of. the form in a. 10f e robe of cloudy white. It began slec ing its long yellow hair, which fell over its shoulders; its eyes were not turned towards me, but to the door; it seemed listening, watching, waiting. The shad- ow of the shade in the background grew darker; and again I thought I heheld the eyes gleaming out from the summit of the shadowâ€"eyes fixed upon that shape.

Lhe letters gave rise.

My own theory remained unshaken. I re- turned in the evening to the house, to bringr away in a hack cab the things I had left there, with my poor dog‘s body. In this task ,[ was not disturbâ€" ed, nor did any incident worth note befall me. except that still, on ascendâ€" ing and desoending the stairs. I heard the same footfall in advance. On leav- ing the house 1 went to Mr. Jâ€"â€"’s. He was at home. 1 returned him the keys, told him thwt my curiosity was suffiâ€" ciently gratified. and was about to .re- late quickly what had passed, when he stopped me, and said, though with much politeness, that he had no longer any interest in a mystery which none had ever solved.

Nor, indeed, had I long to wait before the dawn broke. Not till it was broad daylight did I quit the haunted house. Before I did so, ‘I revisited the little blind room in which my Servant and myself had been for! a. time imprisoned. I had a strong imâ€" pressionâ€"«for which I could not acâ€" countâ€"that from that room had oriâ€" ginated the mechanism of the phen- omenaâ€"if I me use the termâ€"which had been experienced in my chamber. And though I entered it now in the clear day, with the sun peering through the filmy window, I still felt, as I stood on its floor, the creep of the horror which I had first there experienced the night before, and which had been so aggravated; by what had passed in my own chamber. 1 could not, indeed, bear to stay more than half a minute withint hose walls. 1 descended the stairs. and again I heard the {outfall below me; and when I opened the street door, I thought Icould distin- guish a very low laugh. I gained my own home, expecting to find my runâ€" away servant there.

A FAR MER’S PARADISE. For the past few years (he agriculâ€" tural element has predominated in the Legislature of Manitoba, and the legâ€" islation has been largely in the interâ€" est of the farmer. As a consequence the lawyers have been practically legâ€" islated out of existence, so far as u once remunerative court practice is concerned. and the sheriffs cannot make a decent living. But while the lawyers and sheriffs have suffered the country generally has benefited, for credits are now limited, and farmers cannot get so deeply into debt us formâ€" erly; but should one become involved to any great extent, the exemption law protects his homestead, implements, and enough farm stock to permit’him to carry on operations to the full capacity of his farm. The law is now‘ the poorest profession in lVIunitoba. The lawyers who make an income worth boasting of are all solicitors for large corporations. . To Be Can't inmed.
