CHAPTER VII. THE KACNTai) TOwBB. Lcitvlng Sir Reginald to his wild rldo on that lovely May morning, we will go back a day or two in our story, and again seek Dr. Elfenstoin. In many of his visits, which were all professional, he had, by dropping some loading word, striven to discover the public mind In regard to the murder committed in their midst twenty-five years before. To his surprise, he met everywhere a decided reluctance to talk upon, the subject, as the law had acquitted the only one suspected, but the gloomy looks and wise shakes of the head he so often met told him well that the younger brother Fltzroy was still held guilty In the opinions of the general mass of the Inhabitants. Sorry to see that his friend was still so hardly thought of, Earlo Elfensteln dropped the subject Jumping into his gig, he drove away to the village, resolved to go through the extensive grounds of the "Hall," as strangers were In the daily habit of doing. Glcndenning Hall lay next to bis own cottage home, arid stopping at the gate lodge, he asked permission of the keeper to drive around the premises. This permission was easily gained, and the son of the gatekeeper, an Intelligent boy of fourteen, volunteered to ride with Him, to explain tne places on tne route. So climbing to his side, Sandy began at once to cnancr oi au was come inte ms yonng head. "ton are the new doctor, I Know that well," he remarked; "so it is all right for you to know how to got to the Ball, in case you are sent for in a hurry. It is quite a ride, you see, before the mansion comes even in sight. This front part of the house Is where the family live, and is of stone, very handsome; bnt all that wing. or part, that runs back, very old, de serted, and almost falling to pieces." Dying insensibly away From human thoughts and purposes. It seemed wall, window, roof, and towerTo bow to some transforming power, And blend with the surrounding trees. These lines flashed into Earle Ellen stein's mind as he gazed on the almost ruined portions of the old Hall. Thon, again, his thoughts returned to the boy, and he said, quietly: "There was a murder committee here once, X have been to!d, my boy. Which part was that done in?" 'it is not on tne iront, nut on too right-hand side, where the blind is halfopen. That was sir Artnur s room, ana is now occupied by Sir Reginald. It is In tho second story; but the balcony railing that surrounds It; you see, Is not so very far from the ground, as tne nouse sets so low at that end. The body was evidently swung from that balcony to the ground by means of a rope tied under the arms. The rope was dangling there, the next day, lu the wind. "Seel This path leads to a beautiful lake; you can see the water plainly through those parting tree boughs. There the body was supposed to have been flung, to hide it for a time; but it must have been carried away the same night, for It never has' been found. " "That is very strange." quoth the Doctor. "Whore could the murderers have hidden it?" "No ono can tell. . People think his brother did the deed, as they had quarreled the night before It happened; but when he was tried tt seemed to be proved that he did not" "Yonder is a curious-looking building," remarked Earle, pointing to a square brick tower that stood beyond, yet attached to, the deserted wing. "What may that be?" It is called 'The Haunted Tower.' Please drive fast vast thatDcclar--foxj: rtiivm wuulluvur 1 CP in If M it, even, much less pass near HI" returned Sandy. "Why?" "Because it Is a fearful place. It is haunted!" was the whispered reply. Who says so?" "Everybody. No one likes to take this oath, even in daylight such terrible things appear at those windows at the top of the tower on oarx, stormy n ignis. -Who, for one, has seen these things?" "I have. And so has every person who lives In a honse with windows facing this way, or who is out much nights. You tee, that tower Is very tall, and soars way above the trees, i saw u myself tho last time we had a terrible storm. I was staying with Jim Colgrove. all night Jim lives juBt below you, in the village. It was about ten o'clock, and we were In his room, undressing. When we were ready for beo, Jim put out the light and I ran to the window to see If It still stormed, when suddenly a bright light caught my eyes, in the top of the tower, and, looking up, i saw the most frightful object eyes ever beheld, dancing inside, plainly seen through the windows." Tne boy stopped nere, wniieniseyes seemed dilating with horror at the remembrance, and his Hps grew pale. What was it like?" "Oh, I don't want to describe It! I can't really! Jim looked out when I screamed, and was as frightened as I, so we both jumped into bed, quick, and covered up our heads to shut out the tight It was terrible, Doctor, terriblel" "Are you suro others have seen If" "Oh, yes; and you can see It yourself If you look that way about ten o'clock the next hard storm that comes. It seldom fails to appear then." Dr. Elfonstein said no more, but Inwardly resolved to remember, and be on the lookout for the specter of the Haunted Tower. Yet while he resolvM, he laughed at himself for putting the least faith In this boy's unlikely story. "It is a wild tale these villagers have Invented, in order to excite stranger and draw attention to this quiet rural place. I do not believe one word about the ghost yet for tho joke of the thing, I will look this way about ten some real stormy night and see what is to be seen. " As if to keep the thing in remembrance, Earle saw that the sun was sinking, even then, into a bank of clouds, and ho concluded that a thunder storm would burst over them that very night One thing, however, Earle Elfensteln npted, tho present baronet's apartments were on the same side of the building that connected with the ruined portion, while the tall old tower, which seemed of more modern build, stood just back of the whole, while its large windows on each of the four sides could bo distinctly seen by the whole village inhabitants, as It rose so far above the houses, and even above many of the numerous trees that filled the grounds. With a breast full of curiosity and eager to be at work unraveling the mystery that hung so deeply over this wellknown place, Earle turned tho head of his horse toward the entrance, deter mined if a storm did rage at ten that night to be stationed" at some window or place whore tne nauntea rower, coma oe distinctly seen. Could Dr. Elfensteln have known what the auDalling storm had in store for him he surely would have dreaded more its coming. CHAPTER VIIX. WHAT 98, BtiTOSra SAW. The life of a physician Is certainty a very unsettled and unsatisfactory one. No sooner, therefore, bad Earle Elfensteln retired to his library after his lonely supper and become deeply Interested in a book, while waiting for the hour to come, than a severe thunder shower was ushered In by muttered thunder and zig-zag lightning, and a rat-tat! tat-tat! rat-tat-tat came at the door, and a call for services about two miles off. Well," hethpubt,ash vaulted upon

Om back of Ms faithful horse Saltan. "I

can, perhaps, have a view of his ghost' nip on our way cade it wo hasten. -"My What a sham flash that was! So saying ho touched his horse and sped Off ih the darkness. Before reaching tho home Of his pa tlent the storm was indeed unon him. He lingered fully an hour, hoping It woum abate, but instead. Its fury seemed to increase with every breath. HIS patient had fallen Into a quiet sleep, and he was anxious to be off. Donnlntf his rubber coat, with Its protecting hood well drawn over his bat he started home ward. Pitchy darkness he encountered all the way, relieved only by vUsi flashes of lightning that darted hither and thither over the Inky sky, whllo tho wind, eerioIlke. soughed through tho tall trees of the grounds surrounding Cilendennlng Hall; then, seeming to gather forco with (Sach lull, broke loose again into fury, lashing and thrashing the branches in a fearful manner. The rain also fell In torrents. Suddenly, a brilliant flash of lightning caused his horse to shy to one side, while a crash of thunder almost appalled him. Balstng his eyes Instinctively toward the sky, they fell by accident (for Its very existence had boon forgotten in tho excitement of the moment) upon the windows of tho Haunted Tower. The words of the boy wero fully confirmed; tho most horrid creature fancy could picture was surely dancing just within the tower In full, plain view. A htdoous figure, with largo, flaming eyes, and strange, fully defined horns each side the head, was jumping up and down, amid a glare of what seemed sulphurous light while evory now and then it sank down only to reappear, going through the same wild motions and capers, each one appalling enough to strike terror to the hearts of the superstitious beholder. But Dr. Elfensteln was no t a superM-s tlous man. Ghosts, goblins, specters, all were to him mere vagarie of a crazed brain. Therefore, while startled and horrified for one moment by this singular appari tion, the next he coolly reined in his horse, and thus stood still, calmly contemplating tho scene. He certainly had not fancied the thing he sawl He felt himself, the horse; thon again comprehended fully tho situation; the pouring rain, the wild thunder and still wilder lightning, and there ahead of him, distinctly visible, tho windows of tho Haunted Tower, with thuVhlcieous dancer. No! He, Earlo Elfensteln,, M. D., was not dreaming, but In truth, was a living witness of something so Inexplicable and singular that he then and tbere instantly determined, that It should bit his aim, his study, nay, his duty, to unravel the meaning of this perplexing enigma, this covort mystery that had for years, It seemed, almost paralyzed tho villagers with fear, and r.ow had obtruded upon the notice of himself, a stranger, engaged In following out tho duties of his profession in a dark and stormy night While si.ill sitting there upon the back of his horse, lost In amazemont and conjecture, the demoniacal hobgoblin, ap- j parltlon, or whatever the evil goniua of the Haunted Tower might be called, dropped from sight; the strange, lurid light disappeared; darkness reigned over the place, except as rovoaled by the lightning flashes, and tho puzzled and undaunted physician was free to urge his horse onward once more towards the peaceful cottage that he called his homo. Once within the cheerful shelter of tho library ho seated himself beside the table, drew nearer the wax candles, and again took up his book to read another chapter before retiring for the night ' But ho soon found that reading was impossible, for ever before tho page flitted the Impish flga.ro he had seen, with its horns, its flaming eyes, and hideous contortions. Closing the book then he leaned his head against the tali back of his chair, and thought long and deeply. At the close of his cogitations, as he laid himself down upon his bed for the night one result alone was reached, namoly: "There had been a murd-er committed years before within Glendunniug Han, and tho murderer was still unknown nd at large. "For. somo unaccoimtaW season the Ttoworwas made to appear in tho posses sion of evil spirits by some parties, also unknown." In his soul Dr. Elfensteln believed the dreadful apparition he had himself wit nessed that night was the work of some wicked person, wrought out probably, to keep up the superstitious notoriety such a mystery would bring upon a place. Whichever or whatever the motive, and what the meaning of the whole thing might be, he was resolved to find out But how? Such questions are often asked by human hearts ou private meditation, and as no answer comes, they press on blindly, seeking tho fulfillment of their queries In their own way, and that way often leads, as it did lit this case, to strange and wholly unlocked for results. Finding sIsod lmoossiblo. tho Doctor again arose, and drawing aside the curtain from the window ot.co more gazed forth into tho darkness of tho night But while the storm still raged furi ously, and tho sky was shrouded by an inky pall, no light appeared from tho direction of tho Hall to whisper forebodingly of the specter of tho tower.Leaning bis head against the sasn, tne young physician soon found himself pur suing another and an entirely different train of thought This time the storm passing before his eyes was transferred to the wildly lashed and roaming billows oi uio sea. ins peaceful home had changed to the cabin of an ocean steamer, and tho goblin of night Into tho graceful form of Ethel Nevergall, his lovely fellow passenger of a few weeks before. Again ho seemed to be supporting her in his arms, while guiding her feet across tho saloon of the rocking, swaying, plunging Steamer. Once mora their fingers seemed to have met and he was gazing, with a thrilling pressure upon his heart, Into her frightened eyes and upon her blushing cheeks. Ah, beautiful, lost Ethel! How ho longed to see hor, to spca k to her, to bo hear her; but ho know that for him such a pleasure would never again be, so with a weary sigh be dropped the curtain and turned to his pillow, but not to sleep even, but to toss around and strive In vain to bnish from his mind thoughts of the gin who had unconsciously succeeded in leaving so indelible an impression upon his heart TO SB COHTItflJID.

In converse lion with her friends she would explain this peculiarity. It had a pleasing and honorable significance. When she was 15 years of age she began (to use her own affecting words) "to be acquainted with the unspeakable grief of a last parting in the death of her mother. " Soon after, her elder sister married and removed to a now home, and then her brother Isaac (the "Tom" of "The Mill on the Floss") did the same. Being thus left alone with her father, who carried on a farm and lived in a rather

largo house, she became his housekeeper and general assistant This was her own-choice, as her father was in liberal circumstances, and offered to hire a competent woman. He was dotingly fond of his daughter, whom he used to call his "little wench," using J A 171 1 ? 1. . 1 ' au ancitnu jcingiwn wora waicn was still employed in remote country places t,s a term of endearment The future authoress, the first genius of her age, was now initiated into practical life and labored for some years. chiefly with those beautiful hands of hers, one was dairy-mistress, housekeeper, gardener's assistant, seamstress and occasionally even bore her part in the harvest field, without ever quite laying aside her books, and in winter studying hard.
