Its doors were open. As wfch, they approached it the setting sun JW broke from a baqk of thin white fog, gL and tilled the whole apartment with a if" ruddy glow. Rose, ever curious, was ^ the first to search the cabinet. There were several toilet ornaments ffjH In Venetian glass and gold upon the O" upper shelf. Upon the lower one lay |tfv a small yellow packet and a fragment ^ . I of an old letter. Rose took It up ea- ^gerly and read these words traced in a •U'c. * delicate yet unformed handwriting: tit "And so I send the gift, but I fear It j£>, , will outlive your love. Last night, „ when you left me you forgot my good- r|Y'; bye kiss; and so this morning I H thought " 'm , There the fragment ended. It was ,• the old, old story, coming down from kv,- ' remote years. Woman's tender lover--,, jsT,,' t woman's pained recognition of a slight 0f • --woman's faith, mixed sweetly with •'V; woman's fear of losing what she prized •Si; * y far more than anything else the world ^had to bestow. Rose stood musing with the torn paper in her hand, till ;kar father spoke. , "Poor little goose! I wonder where •he and her lover are now? What is in the packet, Rose?" The girl broke the string. A long trees of dark brown hair fell lightly over her hand. That was the "gift," no doubt, which was still fresh and " glossy, while the head on which it grew was perhaps lying low In the grave. Rose laid it reverently back beside the letter. Mr. Cowley fidgeted about * moment or two, and then said that they had better go. He had evidently seen enough for that day at least. As for Rose, the dead girl's words seemed -sounding in her ear all the way home. "Yet why dead?" She asked herself that, as she woke with a start at two o'clock the next morning Mrs. Cowley went back to the village : hotel In a more agreeable frame of - iplnd. She fondly imagined that the J gloom and silence of the HAI1 had been too much even for the jovial spirits of her husband to encounter. Brighton looked nearer than ever, as she m"' placidly to sleep that night But the next morning undeceived her.' Mr. Cowley was up with the lark, and when she descended with the girls to the sine o'clock breakfast, he was not there. "He had gpne to the Hall," meek Mrs. Grimes informed them with a courtesy. "To the Hall!" gasped Mrs. Cowley in dire dismay, "What for?" "Mr. Grimes went up with him, mum. They took out a lot of painters and plasterers, mum. Not to speak of the two charwomen as Is to go next week." "Mercy preserve us!" exclaimed the horrified British matron. 'Is the man In his senses? Can he think of living ' there after all that we saw last night?" Mrs. Grimes shook her head and sighed. "Men is that contrary, mum, that an angel from heaven would not well know what to do with them!" she ob- ed, sympathizingly. And certain- r living so many years with she ought to have been her breakfast with might At noon her dusty, tired and learned that the favorably, for the ' present ev- nounced, with a pleasant smile, that all was ready for the removal. Rose scarcely knew whether to be glad or sorry that her often repeated wish was about to be granted. In her heart she began to feel a little timid, though she would have gone to the stake rather than acknowledge it Catharine shed some tears, but her father only laughed at her. As for Mrs. Cowley, she packed her trunks as if for an expedition to the Fejee Islands, and Mrs. Grimes as­ sisted her, groaning dismally the while over the "contrariness of them men." At two p. m., all was ready, but Mr. Cowley never made his appearance till five. Then, taking a mournful farewell of Mrs. Grimes, the devoted wife and mother entered the fly and drove he­ roically away. The gates of the Hall stood wide open this time to receive them, and Mrs. Macarthy was smiling and bowing at the door. Lamps were lit in the hall and fires burned in every room. Beautiful carpets, curtains and furni­ ture, together with books and pictures, and a piano, so transformed the gloomy drawing-room that the girls scarcely recognized it. Mr. Cowley was in ec­ stasies at their exclamations of sur­ prise. "I knew you would like it" he kept repeating, as he rubbed his hands to­ gether; "and I have spared no expense in making it pleasant and comfortable for you. Now, my dear, if you will go upstairs and take off your things, Mrs. Macarthy will give us some tea. I, for one, am as hungry as a hunter. My love, I am glad you like the place so well. Was I not right in urging you to come? I knew yon would see it in the end--and you do!" !i; ¥" workme: that the charwomen week, instead erything would day of the month. "So get ready to ^ day of December, old lady merrily, "for we shall keep mas there!" . The "old lady" groaned at the thought. What sort of a Christmas would it be in that dismal, lonely, haunted ruin? But Mr. Cowley carried his point as he always did. Day after day did he spend at the Hall, sometimes with Mr. Grimes, sometimes with the agent, but oftener alone with his workmen, who did their tasks in platoons, and would, on no account, stay on the premises a moment after sundown. Not so the charwoman who succeeded them. She was a stranger in the place, and felt no reverence for its traditions. Conse­ quently she refused to believe in the ghosts; and when Mr. Cowley heard her avow her want of faith in a great strong voice and with a hearty laugh he was so enchanted with her good sense that he engaged her on the spot to remain at the Hall as servant till the scruples of the neighboring dam­ sels should be sufficiently overcome to enable them to serve, with or under her, or perhaps to take her place. But for her opportune arrival, Mrs. Cowley might have been forced to make her own bed,get her own dinner and black her husband's boots--for no village girl could have been induced for love or money to engage at the Hall till it was fairly proved whether Queen Bess was there or not Mrs. Macarthy, however, was a host In herself, and the sight of her broad, smiling face was enough to put the most crabbed ghost into good humor if by chance she should happen to meet one. She worked with a will during the week of her occupancy. Carpets were put down, curtains hung up, beds aired and made, drawing and dining rooms swept and dusted; till, from the dismal shell, on which Mrs. Cowley had looked with such horror, a hand­ some, modern-looking dwelling place wm deduced, possessing every comfort which the most fastidious taste could require--at least, for a short sojourn. Mr. Cowley might have been less lib­ eral in furnishing any other house, but Item his honor was in some measure at stake, »n£ he was not satisfied till he had dom his very best. Be came tame late on the evening of (fee tfcirtMH «* November, and an- CHAPTER IV. But did they "see it," after all? Grave enough was Mrs. Cowley's face as she sat down to that first meal in her new house. The tea was hot and strong--the toast nicely buttered--the cold ham cut with Vauxhall nicety, yet she could not eat If a door creaked, she started nervously in her chair--if a mouse gnawed at a wainscot, she looked as if shfe was about to faint Yet the habit of obedience to her hus­ band's wishes waa so strongly im­ planted within her breast that she never dreamed of saying how uncom­ fortable she felt. Mr. Cowley had made up his mind to live in a haunted house --consequently a haunted house must be the best place possible to live in. She was serving her fellow creatures by proving to them that the doctrine of ghosts must be false. No martyr ever underwent more agony for the sake of a good cause than she. At last the meal was over, and the ex-charwoman had cleared away. The group drew around the blazing fire. Mrs. Cowley took her knitting; Miss Catherine, with an air of making her­ self at home, performed wonderful feats with her crochet needles; Mr. Cowley pished and pshawed over the columns of his Times, which in the hurry of removal, he had not had an opportunity to read before. All were employed except Rose, and she evi­ dently found it very hard to settle to anything. She walked about the room, till her father growled out a request that she would not fidget him; so then she lifted the curtain and gazed out for a long time upon the bare and deso­ late lawn, looking more desolate still beneath the pale light of the wintry moon. A thought struck her as she stood there. She gave a little dellciouB shiver, then left the room and went upstairs. The turret chamber had been pre­ pared for her by special request. Jdiss Cowley's room was exactly opposite, so that the sisters could easily com­ municate with each other if necessary. Mr. and Mrs. Cowley had chosen a large, square chamber'at the back of the house, and the revolver was al­ ready lying on a table close beside the bed. Fires were blazing brightly in fill these rooms. They looked exceed­ ingly snug and cozy in the ruddy glow. Still, aot the less for fire and candle, did Rose feel the unseen presence of some former inhabitant of the place. She hurried nervously down the pass­ age, entered her own room, took a book from her dressing bag and re­ treated without daring even to give a glance at the oaken cabinet in the cor­ ner. Quicker and quicker she went on her way back, breathing short and feel­ ing terribly frightened, though ashamed that she should do so. She to live in a haunted house, and have no more nerve than this? The thing was ridiculous--she would be more sensible. And making a brave effort to feel collected at the head of the stairs, she heard or fancied she heard one breathing close behind her--felt, or fancied she felt, the touch of a cold, light hand upon her own. She shrieked wildly, and ran headlong down, only to find the whole family in the hall, looking pale and frightened, and evi­ dently ready to face twenty ghosts, for the benefit of whose fieshless noses Mr. Cowley grasped the tongs. "Good gracious, Rose!" exclaimed her mother, trembling from head to foot "What is it? Have you seen anything?" "No," said Rose, looking extremely silly; "but I was all in the dark at the head of the stairs, and I fancied some one touched me!" "I wish to goodness you would be sure of your danger, young lady, be­ fore you scare us all out of our wits another time!" said Mr. Cowley, lead­ ing the way back to the drawing-room and disposing of the tongs in their place once more. "I made sure by your squalling that old Queen Bess, at the very least, was after you. If you are going to fancy ghosts in every direc­ tion, you had better go back and take shelter with Mrs. Grimes as soon as you can. Why, here's Kitty, who couldn't bear the idea^of this house, and look at her now. She don't like it, and she may believe there are ghosts here, but I don't think she would invent them for herself before- i hand, as you seam to have done. No moM' ' Ifcese, if or «reiT <NM' tn itouriey that you, whs were so here, were the first to ery out HW' half an hour after you came."* Mr.<©owley, having delivered his Ise- tore, resumed the perusal of the Times Catherine said nothing, it is true, but even her crochet needles, as she worked, seemed to assume an air of superiority over Rose. That young lady sat, looking sulky beside the fire. Hu­ man nature prompted her to throw her book at Catherine's head, but young lady nature came to the rescue, and prevented any such untoward set At last her sense of injury subsided as she drew near the lamp and began to read. Certainly she had ehoaen the Queer­ est volume possible for such a place. It was Mrs. Crowe's "Night Side of Na­ ture," a book well calculated to give a sound nightmare even to the most Incredulous opponent of the ghost theory. For scone minutes she was very. quiet; but Mrs. Cowley, looking up| from her knitting, got a glimpse of the illustrated cover, where, beside th« old hall clock, and by the light of a*; splendid harvest moon, a genuine or­ thodox ghost, in a winding sheet, is% appearing to a terrified maid-servantj just preparing to faint upon the floor. One look was enough for Mrs. Cow­ ley. She uttered an exclamation that drew every eye to the unlucky book. Mr. Cowley looked over his .spectacles at his daughter, as if he had thought she had suddenly gone mad. What could have possessed you to* bring that horrible thing here?" he- asked sternly. "It is the greatest non-f: sense, only fit to go into the fire. I-, have half a mind to make you put it there now!" ^ Miss Rose, at that moment, owed her entire family a grudge; and, having frightened herself to death with the grisly tales she had been reading, sud­ denly determined to frighten them also. "If I can't sleep a wink tonight for thinking of these dreadful things, neither shall Catharine," was her am­ iable resolve. So, putting on her sweet­ est smile, she looked up from the ob­ noxious book into her father's face. "Dear papa, you are just a little pre­ judiced against Mrs. Crowe--j^ou know you wet."

The increase is ac­ counted for partly by a previous mis­ count of the Indians in the Fort Reso­ lution district of the Northwest Terri­ tories, who are found to number 223 more than was supposed, and partly by the immigration of a few American Indians. The total Indian population of the Dominion is now estimated to be 99,010. There were 2,333 births last year, and 2,557 deaths. The greatest enemies of the Indians are scrofula and pulmoftary diseases, but measles and whooping cough have carried off a number of children. The Indians are not exempt from la grippe. At Fort. Babine and Old Fort Bablne, in British Columbia, the disease was so virulent that 40 Indians died of it, but It was of a milder type in most of the Indian settlements affected by it Boeord for Longmt Now that Queen Victoria is dead, Francis Joseph of Austria holds the record of the longest reign in Europe, or, indeed, in the world.

If 1 could have my say In this mat­ ter I would give the prize to Vaslli Verestchagin, the great Russian paint­ er. The brush is mightier than the pen. Despite all that has been written and preached On peace from Jesus to Nazareth down to the Baroness Von Suttner there continues to be war si- most as bloody and cruel as that waged in hntiqulty and the middle ages. A dozen painters like Verest­ chagin, however, could not help but move the nations of blood on the bat­ tlefield, against the arming of brother against brother, and compulsory arbi­ tration would regin supreme. Verest­ chagin has convicted the world by ths mighty strokes of his brush of fearful iniquity. The misery and sickening horrors of the battlefield are brought home to the world. It is widely differ­ ent from the heroic career which the sanguine recruit pictures to himself. It is a savage carnage, more brutal than the mortal combat of (beasts, too ghastly degrading for the creature of intelligence, made in the image of God. Let Verestchagin have the prize, though even his work cannot disarm the nations.

The leading physicians of this place had pronounced his case a hopeless one, and others from Port Byron, Geneseo, and Davenport, la., had at­ tended him, and in a consultation de­ cided that he could not live. In desperation, his nephew inquired of Mr. L. F. Giles, a local druggist, as to a last resort Mr. Giles suggested •Dodd's Kidney Pills, a remedy which had just been introduced here. The results were marvelous. Mr. Marks Immediately began to improve, and within a few wCeks was able to be up and about, completely cured. His cure is the talk of the neighbor­ hood, and Is considered nothing short of a miracle. There appears to be no doubt that this new remedy, Dodd's Kidney Pills, will cure any case of Kidney Disease, for the more malignant forms, such as Brlght's Disease, Diabetes, and Drop­ sy, yield readily to its remarkable in­ fluence.
