However, I began slowly to undress --a blind man hag to do most me- chanical things slowly if he would not be perpetually bruising or maiming himself, and so 1 went on for a few winutes fumbling' about with my grrments as usual, depositing each in 'its accustomed place, for only by that means are we incapables able to find any object with certainty again: Suddenly I thought of the purpose which had brought mie to bed so early, land begun to doubt if 1 was going through a good preparation for giving the sleeping draught a fair chance. I had grown wider and wider awake every moment from that when, ascen- ding the stairs, I bad first felta sense of loneliness. Nevertheless, I would take a glass of my light claret forthwith, considering that by the time 1 should be getting into bed it would be beginning to take effect. I stepped in the direction of the table where it stood, felt about for an instent, and the next had the bottle within my grasp Then I found the glass; and was proceed. ing, as T expected, to take the cork out, when lo | there was no cork. Raising the bottle, T instantly knew from its lightness that it 'was empty. This discovery was conclusive. Somebody io the 5; 10 a sound broke the illness of the west: an tumn night, Taking my stick, I thrust it under the bed, aud round above in various corners of the room. The furnitureappeared alittle disarran- ged, but otherwise. there was no evi- dence of the presence of any human being. Verystrange, I thought. Any- way, i nfust ring for the footman--for I may say here that I dislike being valeted ; and beyond indispensable assistance, prefer doing everything as uch as I can for myself, especially in my bedroom. As wy hand passed across the corner of the table, it knocked something off on to the ground which rattled like tin "| and glass. Nob stopping to investigate, the next discovery my sensitive fingers made on the table was sowe short iron tool. 'I took it up and felt it ; but could not make out what it was, so proceeded to grope for the bell-rope close to the bedhead. ; and in' : stalwart polio joined the mefunder the wi second, the he: ls svairs with the butler and was the first to 'witer the room slipped in last to lis ¢ Hullo, my man, what are to here!
