LOUIS , x a TI1E IllDDEX GRAVK. 1 he night Was inky black and with­ out the furious wind could be heard shrieking among the rough Old pines that surrounded the house. The rain, too, added to the Inclemency of the night, and pattered loudly at the win­ dow, while an occasional glare of light- nlng would gem the troubled waters of the lake, the thunders following with deafening crash. Now and th»n a poorly sheltered bird, attracted by the cheerful light, would fly eagerly against the transparent window panes, only to be beateu to the earth and drowned by the descending torrents. For once the night owl was frightened into silence, and all nature seemed trembling with dread. On thi" dreary night I ww sitting at an old o iken table, whose pltyse was between the two windows that commanded the general view of the landscape. The oaken door, whose panels were marvels of quaint and curious workmanship was closed and bolted, ami security seemed assured. I was writing a few letters to loved and distant fr ends. and, the last being finished, the pen fell from mv weary grasp. Uncon­ sciously I fell Into a deep reverie, drifting from tills to that, until slum­ ber gradually came stealing over my drowsy senses aud wrapped them In Its mysterious clouds. I must have slept at least an hour,when I awakened with a nervous start, A*cold and tomb-like thrill permeated my whole being and filled me with a strangq and nameless feeling of dread for which I could not account. Moved by some resistless impulse my eyes sought the remote corner of the room where the tall old clock stood ticking away as It had done for many years. Before my startled gaze thero appeared the figure of a woman, a misty, almost indefinable form, but still plainly to be seen. She appeared to be clad in a loose morning w rapper sueh xr.wows. tf ladles of fashion as early > s twenty years ago. Her eyes seemed the most tangible reality. They were of a brilliant black and their depths shone forth with an unearthly lustre, seeming to pierce my inmost being. She raised her finger to her Iips as a warning of silence, and advanced tow«rd me, her eyos holding jae powe .'less as under the charin of a serpent. 1 could not have moved hand or limb, as I seemed deprived of power almost to breathe. In mellow but chilling tones she satd: "Fear me net. I am a wandering, unhappy spirit, doemed to rove the earth till I find the grave of my murdered child. Pitiless ruffians tore him from my bosom and slew him before my pleading eyes, be­ cause he was known to be hair to |ti*> dead father's fortune. By my child's death the lands and wealth went to my brother, who, far from being loving* was a cruel, unbending tyrant. It was he who bribed the guilty ruffians to perpetrate that deed of blood! My child's bleeding Image was hidden from my gaze, and many were the lonely nights I spent in searching for his unkept grave. I accused my brother of the crime. He sneered at me and drove me from his door a'sad and homeless wanderer. After I left him my means were such that 1 was often unable to obtain the necessary food to keep me from sinking te the earth. Fever soon seized upon me and ere many days had flown my life had ebbed sway. But even death could not bring me rest. In my heart's core was the wish to find the grave of my darling; so I now come for your assistance, If not to find the lonely grave, at least to obtain a terrible revengeI.My brother, who Is well known ou account of his great wealth, is now residing in the little city of Saxburn. His mansion Is on the higuest hill commanding the view of the entire city. You will go there, confront hi'ii, and should he re­ fuse to divulge the requested secret, you will Immediately place him in the hands of justioe, as I can obtain for you damning proofs of his guilt. Should you fail to do my bidding misfortune awaits you; If otherwise, rewardI" The spirit ceased, and, sighing, she melted Into air. No more that night did the angel of sleep touch my eyelids with his magic wand. At break of day I was prepared fer the contemplated journey. The distance was but ten hours' ride, but such a burden of responsibility seemeJ resting upon me that time flew by with wings of leaden weight. Ar> riving in the city, on'getting off (he train, the first object that attracted my gaze was the high green hill on yrhich ^yld vM"*? be seen a magnifi­ cent tpao&ioa ot marble and rioh ma* terials. I did not wait to refresh myself, but, turning neither to right or left, I walked toward the object of my search. Arrived at the door, a liveried servant ari6wered my summons showing me Into the waiting room, and upou being requested to lord that a stranger wished to ae|j on important business, soon bi that person down to discover my and business. He was short, bat set, dark complected and be His lips were thin and ttMlr exp cruel. His dark canning eyes sei to emit a diabolical light, attri attention from bis large nose, which more than anytfefitg seemed to show his evil natnre. bowed slightly as he entered the room. I did not return ft, bnt briefly formally addressed him: •'Sir,* Mi# "my business is such that studied of etiquette would be bat mockery. 1 am here to confront you with a crime snch as only one with the heart of a demon could perpetrate. T accuse you of murdering your sister's child to o!>- taln the wealth he justly inherited frcm his father, your brother by mar* rlage. These are my proofs!" I then related to him my experience of the previous night, and demanded of him the knowledge I wished most to obtain --the secret place of the bidden grave. As he listened his face contorted into hideous shapes, but when I finished be arose with a marble expression, and locking the heavy door he faced me abruptly. "So you have come," said he, "to force me to divulge that which I most wish to keep secret, and do you know," lowering his voice impressively "I am about to tell you, as yon will he burled near the same spot where He the boaes of the child. Too can never leave this room alive. Ha! ha! Tea, I will tell! The grave lies in the deepest wine vault und«?r the cellar, ie the cor­ ner where stands a rare old flak of wine. I go there daily to drink their health. O, it Is rich! There, too.shall you be buried!" Then burstinf jetea fit of horrible laughter, he drofFli loiBt glittering knife from his tMMKmiiiS moved slowly toward me. Quickly grasping my chair 1 awaited hl« onset with firmness. He came with theJtftf! of a tiger, warding off the heavy chfttr with the strength of a madman, JBaifl* Instead of killing me an I stood, he dragged me down to the floor, placing his knee upon my breast. "Now," said he, 'i suppose you are happy in poi«#|-|f sion of your secret--'very happy! look so! Ha, ha!" The knife shone is his hand. He was about to plunge It to my heart, and every mo meat Stiimtt an age. Like an eagle carrying | to its young, he was gloating ov#r expected feast of blood. Before bo could execute his purpose the knife was torn from his grasp by an u hand, aud the life bloed ebbing his nose, aud lips he fell to the floof^llV^ the agonies of death. A voice of sweetness rang through the room. "With your aid 1 have found what I long sought for In vain, and feel that my wanderings on earth are over. My father's will was concealed In my In­ fant's clothing, and, as the murderer^ were not aware of it, I am sure yoa will find it buried in the grave. While the will bestows the wealth upon mr# other, it can be useful to you, shoojtiSC the law make inquiries, in proving thai ' my brother became possessed of the property In an unla-vful manner. Hop- ? ing you will ever prosier, 1 wfll Mf farewell!" As the last word died upon the air a gentle breath passed my face and I was left alone with the dead. 1 succeeded in finding the will.
