A WITCH STORY.

Tho story I am about to tell you is curious as having been told by an old colored woman of Virginia, a slave "before tho war," and one who can neither read nor write.

Years ago there lived in Virginia a gentleman named McKin, who was greatly respected by all who knew him. Ho •was rich ho was kiudly ho had the good wishes of all his neighbors he was an excellent master and a good friend.

He owned a great deal of real estate, and among it was the finest mill property in the county. It was known as McKin's grist mill, and was very valu able. He always kept a miller there, and of course the miller had his men, and a thriving business was carried on for years. Meanwhile Mr. McKin remained a bachelor and lived in the old family mansion with his mother and sisters until the former died .and tho latter married, and people began to say that now no doubt McKin himself would marry.

However, neither maid nor widow of the place could flatter herself that tho bachelor's attentions were "particular." ed by every one. Ho lived alone with his large retinue of! servants for a year, and at last astonished his friends by marrying a lady who was an utter stranger to every one, a very beautiful young woman who had golden hair, great black eyes, a skin like cream and a brown mole on her left cheek.

He gave a 'great supper to introduce her, and sho was admired by all. Her dress was exquisite. She sparkled with jewelry, and a magnificent cluster ring which she wore on tho middle finger of the right hand attracted much attention. It was, like all the rest, a gift from Mr McKin.

Tho host did his best. Tho supper was delightful there was a band of music from Richmond there were roses everywhere. Mr. McKin had tried to make to make the affair a splendid one, but when it was over the guests began to acknowledge to one another that they were disappointed. Why they could not say. Perhaps Mrs. McKin was cold in her manner. Some people could not help being that. But they had not been happy, and in old times every one had enjoyed themselves so much at the McKins\

Then some ono hinted that the houso servants did not like their new lady, and liked still less her foreign maid, little and dark and withered as an old monkey. "No." old Phoebe, the cook, had said to some one, "we all don't like madame's maid—we all don't like her. We got no right to talk about do madame nohow. But madame's maid, she jes' a nigger, same as de rest, and we all reckon she mighty cur'ns—mighty cur'us."

The day aftei the party was Saturday. Mrs. McKin professed herself weary and remained in bed until supper time. Sunday morning, however, sho rose. As she was eating breakfast her husband spoke of the hour. "Wo shall have to make somo haste, my dear," ho said, "in .order to be at church in season."

It was some time before his wife answered him then sho said "I will not go to chr.rcli today." "I am verv anxious that von should, my dear." Mr. McKin wiid. "It will be expected of us." "You can go alone," sho answered coldly. "Alone, the tir-t Sabbath after my *Oh. my dear, iui-!

marriage!" he cried possible! See what I have bought for you for the occasion." And ho took' from a table a small parcel, unfolded it and handed to Mrs. McKin a beautiful little prayer book bound in blue velvet, with silver clasps, and her name on the corner in silver letters, As he placed it before her she uttered a lmv cry and I fainted away. The maid rushed to her and they carried her to her room, where thenceforward she remained. From that moment Mr. McKin's beautiful young wife seemed to bo bedridden. Shencv-r left her pillow. Mr. McKin consulted tho most celebrated physicians. None of them could discover what ailed Ik r. Her maid nursed her continually. Mr. McKin was not encouraged to enter the room: he always made his wife's head ache when lie spoke to her. binallv he contented himself wbh a i's-»r»f

of in

quiry every mornin'.r, t" a very unhappy man, more unit. than in his bachelor days.

Old Pliuibc began to tell strange'stories to her friend, the housekeeper at the hotel. "Marsy Jack mighty nigh done broke his heart." sho would say. "I'ze mighty sorry for Jack, but wo all jes' despises de madam. She sick in bed all day, but in de night I reckon sho mighty well— yes'm. sho mighty w. 11 den, and she get up and dress sheself aud eat a big supper and go out qb do do'. Yes'm. she do. And dat little chipmunk of a maid she go along wid her, and dey done come back jes' befo' sun up. Yes'm, we all knowB dat de libin truff," "Why don't you tell your Marsc Jack?" the housekeeper asked. "Dero ain't nobody dast tell dat yar to Marse Jack McKin." said Phoebe "nobody."

And nobody did dare. But soon it was whispered everywhere that Mrs. McKin had a lover whom she went to meet in tho pine woods at midnight.

But there was something else that Mr. Jack McKin was to heai shortly. There was trouble at his mill, and the trouble was of a supernatural sort—the miller and his men had seen a ghost.

One by one the men had been frightened away, and the miller was alone at his post. At last he came up to tho McKin mansion one day and resigned his millersliip. He was reluctant to give his reasons, but finally did so. The ghosts —there were two of them—manifested themselves every night. They were not to bo frightened away, and did mischief to tho grain and set lire to the mill in various places, though he had always found tho flames in time to put them out. Now they threatened to kill lnm if he was not out in three days. "I am amazed to hear such a story from a white man of intelligence," was

Jack McKin's comment on the tale. "Some ono is evidently trying to frighten you away. Remain, and on tho night they threateu to take your life the sheriff and his men shall be with you."

Finally tho miller returned to the mill and at dusk on the third day waa seen alive and well by people who came with grist. When the sheriff and his men came stealthily through the woods an hour later the mill was perfectly dark. They lighted their lanterns and went through it, calling the miller by name, but receiving no answer, until they found him in his own room lying on his face, a pistol in his hand, an overturned lamp besido him, dead. He had been shot through the heart,. There was no living human being in the old mill, and for a long while nobody went near it. At last people began to say that the miller had shot himself by accident and that the negroes had frightened him. Another miller applied for the place and remained three days. In fact, to cut a long story short, the only other miller who dared to brave the wanting that tho ghost gave them all was found dead, as the first one had been.

Tho mill was soon spoken of as hauntNo ono would work there, and finally Mr. McKin closed it, and it was left to itself and to tho ghost.

All this while lime. McKin remained an alleged invalid, shut in her room all day, watched by her maid and talked of in whispers by her servants. one believed McKin's mill would ever run again, but one day a tall, strong, broad shouldered young fellow walked up tho steps of the McKin mansion, asked to see the master, and begged to be allowed to take charge of the grist mill. "I've heard tho story," he said, as Mr. McKin began to explain. "I don't believe in ghosts, and they can't scare me anyway. I'm in hard luck, and I'm a good miller. Trust me and your mill shall work better than ever. You'll do me a service, and I'll do you one."

In vain Mr. McKin set before him the fact that two millers had been already killed there in the haunted mill. The young giant declared that he should not be, and finally the gentleman engaged him.

The mill was opened aud the miller set to work. He took with him into the mill a Bible, a revolver and a large, sharp ax.

For the first two nights he saw nothing, but heard noises like the falling of heavy millstones upon tho floor above and feet upon the stairs. He had expected something like this and remained in his room reading his Bible by the light of a shaded lamp.

On the third night, having heard tho same noises and quietly disregarded them, his door was dashed open and a hideous form entered. It was something between a woman and a great bird of prey. It wore fluttering white /robes, and had instead of hands great black claws. It floated toward him through the air, and behind it came another like unto it, but smaller.

Tho first creature swooped downward and made a clutch at tho lamp. As it did so be snatched his revolver from his belt and fired, emptying all the chambers. The strange beings vanished with a wild shriek, but in a moment they en tsred again. This time tho largest one made a furious clutch at the lamp. As sho did so ho lifted his ax above Lis head, and with one blow severed tho hideous black claw from what looked like a shriveled human-arm then he hurled his Bible at the head of the smaller fiend. Instantly screams, oaths and horrible curses filled the air. The strange beings vanished and silence reigned.

The black claw dropped to tho table. It was such a hideous sight that the miller 'covered it with a cloth, that he might, not, Ri« it. He kept, watch all the night, and early in the morning Mr. McKin, who had been told that firing had been heard in the mill, came to make inquiries. The miller told his tale, and Mr. McKin complimented him on his bravery. Of course ho was desirous of seeing tho amputated claw, and the miller proudly drew away the cloth. Behold! there lay upon tho table, not a claw, but a woman's beautiful hand—aright hand, on the middle finger of which gleamed a splendid cluster diamond ring. At the

sight of t'uis horror seized the miller, and Mr. McKin seemed about, to die. 11" knew the bund: lie knew tho ring. Then, without a word, ho walked out of the mill and homeward and into his wife's chamber, h'.he was in her bed, as usual. The maid, pale, and with a great bruise upon her forehead, interposed to prevent his approach. "Madame is very ill," she said. "Out of my way. woman!" ho cried and pushed her aside.

Then, bending over his wife's bed, but without his usual show of tenderness, he said sternly: "Show me your hand."'

She thrust forth her left one. "The other," he said. She uttered a scream and turned down the counterpane, but there was none to show—only a/ bandaged stump, from which tho hand had been severed.

Tho next morning the whole village was in wild excitement, for Jack McKin. whom they all knew and loved so well, had gone to the graveyard and there shot himself through the heart beside his mother's grave. And the servants had told their tale raid the miller his, and there was the lady's hand, witl^ the ring upon it, to bd seen by all. "Burn the wretches," a man cric '. and a band of men, both black and white, boro down upon the McKin mansion. They entered the door and marched up the stairs ind into madame's room, but thero was no one there. Nobody had seen the two women depart, but they were gone and were never seen again, and sinco that time no fool has ever entered the old mill and it has slowly fallen into decay.

The lady's hand, however, is still preserved in spirits in »**/n hall, and the old negro who
