"Faukba, Ta. I Reiartotle Romance. BY EMILY THORNTON. CHAPTKK XVITI-Con tinned. Then a violently storm was raging. The storm was, strange to say, tho first that bad occurred in tho evening since his night view of tho haunted tower, and Its dancing demon, just five weeks before. Not wishing to bo seen by any of tho Inmates, he did not venture out until after nine o'clock. Thon the wild wind and drenching rain served to retard his progress bo much that it was full quarter to ten before he felt tho worn pathway, and crept behind the clump of thick, wet bushes, where, once concealed from view, he paused to light a small dark lantern he had wisely brought with him. By the aid of this he proceeded to examine what seemed only a dull, blank wall. Close Inspection, however, revealed a a large stone that was loose, which ho easily drew forth, making a clean, unobstructed passageway, through which a man could creep, and without hesitation, in he went, landing directly upon an old but still passable floor. Lowering his light, ho paused to examine this floor, and fotnid, to his surprise, wet tracks upon it, that told plainly that very recent footsteps had passed that way. Following these, the young man walked In a direct line across the building, until he reached a door, which, upon trying, he found, to his chagrin, .secu rely fastened. Even while he paused to roffoct upon his next movement distant footsteps fell upon his ear, just beyond tho door, and hurriedly he darted back, extinguishing his light as ho did so. Just In time was this movement made. for a hand unhooked the fastening, opened the door, and there, to his unmitigated surprise, stood Kthel Novcrgall, the girl so much tho object of ills thoughts since that narrow escape of hers a day or two before, with a lighted candle in her hand, peering Into the darkness beyond. Bad she seen nim? ho asked himself; creeping like a thief toward this unfortunate house, and, hearing his steps, had she come to warn him away? No; the thought was absurd, and ho soon saw that she camo seeking merely a covered basket, not observed ontil then, standing just beyond the door. How pale sho looked, as he viewed for one moment her sad face, and yes, surely those were tears that fell from her beautiful bazel eyes upon her checkl The sight of those tears caused him to take one step toward her, but sho fortunately did not see him, bnt drew to the door, after securing the basket, and he then heard her littlo feet start down the corridor. Besolved not to bo balked in his efforts to unravel, this night, one mystery at least, Dr. JSIfensteln pushed again toward the door, and to his joy it this time yielded to his touch; Poor Ethel! this night for the first time had been required by Sir Scginald Olehdennlng, to visit the tower, and follow out directions ho gave her in full, for producing the illusions that wore to terrify tho unsuspecting public In great agitation then, and still weeping, she had proceeded to the fulfillment of her loathsome duty, and in her grief and excitement, for the first time forgot to fasten the door, after possessing herself of the food. This forgetfulness accounts for the entrance of the Doctor into the corridor, and enabled him to follow her advancing figure, softly In the distance, CHA1TER XIX. A terrible raicmr. Wiping away her tears, poor Ethel placed the basket of food and knife upon the floor, by the entrance of tho tower, as Sir Reginald had told her to attend to the business in that quarter before administering to the wants of tho concealed quadruped. The wind raged furiously without; the thunder rolled, and lurid lightning flashes entered the windows of the tower as she crept up the stairs, on and on, up and np, ever up, while her heart beat faster and faster, as she thought of the loathsome task before her. At last the weary steps were climbed, and she stood panting on the broad landing, just below the upper windows of the place. It was standing on this landing that her part of the ghostly work was to be performed. Taking then a long-handled torch, with which the colored lights above were to be touched in order to light them, she applied the candle .to it, and reaching up soon had everyone illuminated and flaming away in the usual unearthly looking glare. In doing so she 'never observed tho tall, silent figure of the man who had crept after her and now stood in the shade below, intently watching her every motion. The-stuffed form before her was next to be attended to. Taking, therefore, the lamp from within tho head she lighted it, and putting it back almost exclaimed at the effect the colored light gave the eyes. Winding the crank slowly, she saw that it worked as she supposed It would, and soon tho impish figure was swung aloft, and stood dancing to and fro, to the terror and dismay of all outward beholders. With tears still falling ovor hor pale oheokt, Etliol stood with her oyes fattened tbovB upon the swaying motions of that frightful-looking iwage, when hi Iwtfwr0 iteppel wtrtm feu, IR4

wild cry burst from hor Hps as these words fall upon her cars: "Is it possible that this is tho occupation of Miss Ethel Kovorgail this stormy night?" Turning, sho saw advancing toward hor, and fully revealed bv tho lights above, tho form of Dr. Elfonstein, "Oh, Doctor," sho wailed, as she burled her face in hor hands, and burst into low sobs of pain and dismay, "how camo you here to witness my dlsgracoful work?" Thon suddenly rcmcmliorlng hor charge, and true to tho Interests of hor employer, sho again seized tho crank and, lowering tho imago, extinguished that head lamp, as well as tho others, leaving everything In darkness but for tho feeblo flare of one littlo candle sho had placed upon tho floor. Then turning sho faced her accuser. "I came, no matter how; suffice It that I was determined to nnmask this daring fraud, and so allay the fears of timid women and children. Certainly, in doing this, I novcr oxpeetcd' to dlscovor that Miss Kevorgail was the prime uiovor in this outrageous ploco of. work!" Ethel listened to tho cold, hard words In utter despair, thon fluttering like a wounded bird to the sldo of the indignant man, sho laid one small, whito hand on his arm, which was shaken off in disdain before sho could utter one of tho following words: "It Is the first time I ever did this

f thing. Oh, beilove me; surely you must remember that 1 was in lavornooi wnon you saw that sight, tho time when it last appeared?" "Tes, that is truo; I had forgotten. But that does not absolve you from to night's ghastly deception," was tho stlu cold rep'y. "Bnt fjir Bcginald compelled me to do it. I begged and entreated him to excuse mo; I told him it was sinful, but he new into a passion, ana oaae mo aisooey him on tho peril of his everlasting displeasure. Sir, I was homeless, and he was sick I What was I to do?" "Forgive mo! You poor little girl, I was harsh and cruel in ray judgment. You were, indeed, obliged to execute tho vile plans of tho baronet. There," added he, tenderly, as he drew her hands from her faco, and with his handkerchief wiped away hor tears, "weop no more; you wore not to blame. Child, give me your hand in token of forgiveness." Laying her trembling hand In his, sho mnrmuicd: "Thet you do not despiso me?" "Despise you? Hoi no! I only," ho stopped; ho was about to say "lovo yon," but remembering his vow, he added softly, "pity you!" "Yes, you may pity me! Oh, auntie, auntlel why did I over promise you to como to this wretched place?" was her wailing cry. Still holding hor hand in his, and also taking from 'her the candle, he turned and led hor down tho long, steep stairs. Only once did Ethel speak, then she merely said: "Sir Reginald will be very angry, If he hears of your entrance here! Must ho be told?" "I will think it over, and let you know to-morrow. You must sloop to-night, and so recover from this nervousnoss. " They soon reached the bottom stair, and entered the corridor. Then Ethel rcmombered that her work was but half done, and the rest could not be accomplished until Dr. Elfonstein had left her. Turning to him, sho said: "Will you kindly tellmo how you entered this place? Yon must loavo mo now, going silently as you came." "I will. I camo through the ruins. I saw you open a door, and reach for a basket, thon I instantly entered. " "But surely, I fastened it again?" "You were so agitated you forgot to do it I certainly opened It, without difficulty, and crept after you, eager to solve the mystery of the haunted tower, which I then, for tho first time, began to connect with your movements. But you are weary now, so I will leave you, and return as I came." Giving back tho candle, ho took her hand and was just saying, "Good-night, Miss Nevergall," when suddenly both stopped short In their walk; both turned deadly pale, as a short, strange, loud report, close by their ears, startled and confounded them. Then, to their horror, something darted toward them, a huge form swooped past, dashing tho candle to tho ground, thus extinguishing It, leaving them In total darkness and gloom. "Oh, what is It, what is it?" cried tho terrified girl, as she nestled close to her companion, while he, scarcely realizing what he did, throw his arms around her form, to protect her from ho .know not what. Suddenly, a wild, unearthly laugh or yell floated to them from tho other end of the corridor, and as It passed, Dr. Elfonstein pressed the girl he held closer to his heart, and laid his cheek against her frightened face. "What can it bo? Is it imp or "Devil, I guess," interrupted tho Doctor. Then, gently raising her, ho said: "But this will not do; I must strike a light and see what this can be." Stooping to find tho candle, another eldritch-liko wail camo, this time as if from tho ruins, and with tho first sound Ethel darted toward the man beside her, crying: "Oh, do not leave mo! I shall die, I shall diet" Gathering her onco raoro in his arms, the Doctor whispered: "I will not. You aro not so afraid now, and thus, close to mo, aro you, dear?" "No; not so fearfully afraid as I was." Gently stroking her hair, the young man felt, oven in the terror inspired by their dreadful position, a feeling almost of rapture steal over him as ho held her thus close in his arms, with hers clinging to his waist But, suddenly, calmer reflections came; he felt this thing must bo seen to; whatever presence had been near him must bo discovered, and that he ought to follow up the sound. "Child!" ho whispered, "whatever has been near us, I know by that last cry, has escaped into tho ruins, through the door by which I entered. That being so, I must in duty carry you to a place of safety, then search around to see what it could have been." Instantly, then, it flashed over Ethel's mind that the ape, Sir Boginald's choice concealed treasure, had escaped, and that tho knife sho had so carelessly given him had done tho deed. He bad cut his way out Oh, the terror this thought thrust into her heart was almost unbearable! At once sho became, as it wore, a dead weight again in the Doctor's arms. Then another thought camo -that Imparted now life. Hor oath had been taken never to reveal tho existence ot that animal, nor of the concealed room. In order to kcop this vow Dr. Elfonstein must not examine tho promises. Sho know well now tho moaning of that first report The beast had knockod down the iron shelves burst open the panels, and in consequence a light would show the Doctor that opening and the room beyond. No. He must never examine this corridor. Nerving horself for a now task, she said: "Doctor, I cannot consont to boing loft a moment hero alone) Nor will I content to your exposing yourself farther torliiht. Take me, thon, to uiy room, nd urn will look n? tttti pv, md fw ,

can steal softly from tho house another way." "But Miss Novergall, surely this ought to be investigated." "Oh, no, please do not Investigate! I cannot allow it cannot onduro it!" As she spoke, a long, deep shudder passed over hor frame, and tho Doctor, noticing 'It, knew at once that her nervous system could stand no more, and therefore felt it was best to yield. "Shall I not at least, light the candle?" No, nol I cannot boar it!" murmured tho poor girl, horrified at the thought of what a light might reveal. "Tell me, thon, which way your room lies, and I shall carry you thither at once!" "Straight! Just beyond the door by which you entered, through a passageway; my room lies opposite its door," she returned. "But indeed. Doctor, I can walk, if you will only let me hold your arm. I would rather. " "Well, be it so!" returned the man, releasing her, yet still retaining her hand, which ho drew under his arm. When they neared tho door 0 ' the ruin, however, Etlml felt a strong current of

air upon ber cheek, which revealed the fact that it stood wide open, and instant ly a deadly fear of uie horrible creature that had escaped, baing still near, seized her,, and again sho shrank closer to her friend, while her faltering steps told of departing strength. Without a word, Earlo Elfonstein once more lifted her in his arms, and so passed into the passagoway. Bomembering that his presence there must bo kept a secret tho young girl whispered: "Step softly; let no one hear." "I will," ho breathed hack, and, guided by the dim light uuder the door indicated, he passed through, emerging from tho open wardrobe into the bedroom be yond. Placing hor in a largo easy chair, he (topped Dace, closed and fastened both doors, then returned to her side. "Pleaso, Doctor," sho murmured, "ex amine every part of this room, before you go, to be sure the dreadful the dreadful sho hesitated. "Yes, I know," he interrupted, "and you will soon see that you are perfectly safe." Obeying hor wish, he then mado a thorough search of room and closet But, as he supposed, nothing was to be seen. "Now, how will you you leave tho house?" sho murmured, anxiously. A sly look back toward tho corridor caused her to exclaim, in a whisper, as sue laid her hand entreatlngly on his arm: "Not there, Doctor; promise mo yon win not return to that place this night but will go directly home." Again Earle yielded to tho pleading of tno sweet gin oeside Win, and again answered: "Then I must oither drop from your window or go through tho hall. Stay! I see a stronc strap around your trunk. It is the very thing! I will fasten It to balcony, and so slip down by its aid to the ground. Aro you willing?" "Porfectly, Doctor," sho whispered; "do you know I should have died from fright had you not been there?" "Yes, I know; and now, before I say good-night I shall mix you a composing draught and then you must promise me to go instantly to your bed as soon as you take in the strap and close the win dow, and the last thing, swallow tho preparation I shall leave. Will you do this, in return for my not Investigating further what I see you do not wish explained?" Ethel hesitated, then, remembering that she could not soo Sir Bcginald that night, she gave the promise. A moment more passed, and then the strap had been fastened, the Doctor had wmsiKirea, "Uood-nlght and iiod bless you," and she watched him disappear amid the darkness and storm. Darting out sho secured the strap without trouble, fastened down the window, and soon slept under the effects of the anodyne he had so thoughtfully left for her use. Well indeed was It for hor that she could sleep, for without some rest she could never have borno the terrible exoltoment that awaited her in the nearlng hours of the coming day. But why anticipate new troubles? Ah, why, when, the words of inspiration say, so pointedly, "Sufficient unto the day is the evit thereof." to bb costintjed. The First Customer.

The Marquis De Itudini said that the Italian Government would accllno to admit the irresponsibility of the United States toward tho States composing the American union. The 'question at issue in the present controversy was one which interested every civilized government in the world as well as it does that of Italy. Continuing, tho Premier said that, tho .Italian Government had no fear of political difficulties, but it was filled with regret that so highly a civilized country as the United States should fall in the fulfillment of Its duties to the cause of justice and morality. Cheers greeted the conclusion of the premier s explanation. In political circles in this city Mr. Blaine's last note causes disappointment It is spoken of as vague and inconclusive and as leaving the matter tn statue quo.
