| When Eugene left the lawyer’s office, s |recorded in a provious chapter, he walked |briskly in the direction of home. He knew that "Bertha would be waiting for f.him, for she expected that the mystery of {the morning would he solved upon his I'return, ‘and his conscience was not alto'gexlwr easy at his treatment of the faithi ful girl. ; ; ? - | And Fanny ! His love for her was a part (of hislife. Itsecmied tohim that he had ‘loved her always. But atno time:during }the period of his acknowledged affection {for her, had she seemed dearer to him than 'now. The occurrences of the very next day /might_place”him far above his affianced ‘in worldly position, hut instead of sagely ithi_nking that perhaps he had been hasty lin binding himself to an early love, as many others would have done under the icircumstuncusl the was ready to accept {any advancement that might come to him. {all the more gladly, because hig-darling | could, share it with him. - 5 { Communing with his own thonghts alone {under the sott starlight, he reme¢mbered | with vegret, the grieved look her flce had |worn when he left her that morning. | Had her eyes expresséd resentment at this {his'tirst want of complete trugt in her, he iwould have felt' stronger in the course he' |had pwrsued. But now, the jmemory of (the pain on hei sweet face, together with ‘the thought that he alone hdd been the ' cause, troubled him. S | The- hounse where she liveLl with her (father and a brother, her mother having ‘died ‘a year, before, was but|a few steps from the main street, he would follow to ‘his own home, and he resolved to turn ‘aside, and enjoy her company for a few ‘moments. When he reached the house, a light was burning in the sitting-room below, and with the familiavity of an always . welcome visitor, he ‘entered, without. the formality of knocking. S _

-~ The room was vacant. A bright, wood fire was burning in the stove; and Fanny’s kitten was purring softly on a rug, but there were no signs of her mistress. More disappointed than he liked to admit, the young man was about to veturn to the street, when a light in the upper hall attracted his attention. Knowing that Grover Clayson’s roam was just at the head of the stairs, Eugene, thinking that he might. learn soimething of Fanny there, ascended ‘and tapped lightly ~at his friend’s door: There was no vesponse, and he pushed the doer open and entered. A lamp, standing on the mantle, was burning dimly, but its faint licht revealed no one in the apartment, save himself. v . He listened a moment and heard footsteps in the adjoining -room. . The door between the roouwr was slightly ajar, and, knowing that Grover was the only pérson likely to be there, the younyg inan peered through. \ For a second his eyes seemed riveted to the objects within, and then he started back in horror. . ¢ .

His face was ghastly pale, and as he drew his hand across his forehead, as if to cledi his senses, he found that it was bathed in a cold persperations ! - BEugene Wallingford was not a .man to be! easily frighitened. 'the seene that his TAZE RESLW WPoar et A IVEL L 0 Yment, nunervel oo ey wan g ho: At first, e oulvse 0002 el Leoding over a long table, it e contie of the room, -He scemind to ' working intently with something’ whichi resomnbled asteel instrament, for Buiocue o bt the glimmer of a polished surfice us ib.inoved to and fro in the light. : ’ - When En:yne firstlooked upon the object over wh.-h Grover was bending, it ‘was almost entirely concealed by a long, white -cloth. Presently, however, Graver tdrew the covering away, and stepped aside. ; R :

It was a nude haman Gody ! . As it lay, white and rigid, under the clear light, the watcher saw that death had ogeurred but recently. -There were no ievidenees. of decomposition, in fact, the the body had the appearance of being prépared for the grave, . . i “Tls Grover a murderer ?” was the first thoucht that came to the horrified watcher: A moment’s reflection,, however, convinced him that the body was there for another purpose than /secretiou. His first impulse was to take Wis position at the door, and watch the actions of his friend, but his whole soul revolted at the'thought of thus playing the partief a spy in that house. S i

“I. must know the meaning of thisl mystery,’”’ he thought. «“I.owe it tomysitif and to my friends—my more than “liends—in this house, that I should not go away with any suspicion liké that which just entered my mind. Even at the risk of. losing Grover’s esteem forever, I will make my plysence known to him, and let him know what Ihave scen.” : Accordingly, he tapped loudly at the{ door. In a moment Grover stood excitedly beside him in the room, with his hand. held."in sceming carelessness azainst the door. ¢ . : S i . “lixepse me for intruding upon you at this late hour,” he said, “Iwant to see Fanny, if she has not already gone to her room.”’ : i ) “ Fanny is not in the house,” was the.reply. “Have you been home? I think she must be with Bertha.” @ . 1 ought to have thought of that before,” said Eugene, still making no move-. ment to retive. - : *What ajls you, Eugene ?” asked Grover, his excited face turning white, as he spoke. {“Huave you had a quarrel? You are pale and trembling, old friend, what does it ‘mean 7’ e g - Eugene digl not reply. - - | ; g

“You act as though yoql had seen a ghost,” Grover went on laughingly. « 1 hope you have met no spirits in this house !” ' L o I think this the likeliest place to meet them.” ! . ai “ What do you mean ?” S 1 “Imeah—mny God forgive us both—that ‘I unth. Xingly, looked into that room you are'guarding so closely, before 1 knocked.” Syl 139

Grover . staggered” back in surprise,| but did not speak,! and Eugene turned to gO, 2 . a “Don’t go yet, Eugene!- T can’t 'let you leave me w ' h that look on your face.”” And Grover caught him by the arm, and almost forced him into the room where the dead body lay. He then locked the door. : « Eugene,” he continued, almost imploringly, ““ we have been friends too long, to he estranged by this night’s imprudenceon my part. I will tell younall, and you can curs¢ me, if you will. . But we must not forget Fanny. I swear to you that she knows nothing ot this. It would kill her. You must promise not to tell her.” ¢ Eugene hesitated. 3 i Grover’s face brightened. It may not, be as bad ag you think,” Eugene,”” he said, “I will not insist upon-a pledge of secrecy, anfll I have told you. Look here.” . Grrover stepped to the body, and pointed to the head, which showed : that the .knife had already been busy uponit. .. { “You see why this subject is here,” he snid: Ibrought it an hour ago, when no one was stirring in the house, ' 'With the exception of ©one min, you are the only fcmon in the village who even suspects that I have carried my researches into surgery soliasthisy 0 e B R “Burgery | Inever knew—" .. | . “Nor anyone else, outside of the family,” Lﬁ%mw b it %0 ‘sdorativ?

Surely it is n6t a crithe to engage in the study of surgery, where it is not carried ‘too far.” 4 . St “ And you think I have carried it too far,” said Grover, blushing. “But time only can tell that.”’ e -« Have you never consulteéd with the vil- | lage physicians?”’ asked Bugene. { . “They would only havelaughed at me and my theory,” was the reply. The fact is,” he went oni, “I have not studied -surgery. with the idea of becoming a practifioner., [ have a mission to perform; Eugene, { which.can only be fuliilled by the aid of i that science, and I wuse it simply as a | means to aid in tlie greaf end.” ; 5 i “Can you tell me what that end is ?*" | “The location in lhe body, of the human is.oulf” oo e | _“Grover! ° Are you mad ?” ‘ “No; I am not mad. I know that it | exists—apart from the brain, and apart [ from the vitality called life! T knoiw that lit can be removed, taken away, replaced, and always make enc possessor just what it made another—and this, independent of ' brain development.”” - |« Has study turned your head, my poor l friend ?” . v : “Don’t mock me, Eugene. Wiser men than I have .spent their lives and their fortunes in pursuit of the sume knowledge that I seek, but they had not the light of modern science to aid them and. they faited.” ; : : l “ And you are hewing into that dead - body foraliving soul”? ~ . : I have only one locality to examine,” ' said the student, eager to explain every‘thing to his friend, now that the ice was 1[ broken. ' You don’t understand anatomy, and so I will abarndon technical terms. . At the base of the neck, the brain nerves centre into. a pceuliar substance, which is !‘prot_oct-éd more carefully than any other 'purt of the system from injury. It isat. ‘the very apex of thé spinal column,-and ‘has been, the subject of mare than “one ‘theory. I believe that the animal in the ‘human form ends there, and that thore'the ‘spiritual begins. I believe that the brain ‘only takes up and uses the intelligence it <draws from this point. I sce that you are 5 disposed to treat my. theory as others have treated it,”” Grover added saudly, “and | will say no more about it. I bave trusted you fully, Engene, will yéu promise not to reveal what you'have scen here to-night 7 -~ “On one condition.” } ‘ « Name itS> {' - . : ;

“That you will enacavour. to pursue your theory without this ghastly work.”’ Eugene pointed to the body. ; “This is my first attempt in this direction,” was the veply, “and if I make a failure now, there is nothing; to do ‘huv to try agatm.” ) " How can you keep the knowledge of youx pursuit from your father and Fanny?’* -They never enter this. room,” was the reply. 1t has been sacred to my one pure suit for a year. [ nover goout without locking it. I ean trast you, then?”? T Yes; for the present,at loast.’ I thank you, Buirenel Whitt! must you go so soon?”’ | For BEugene had turned toward the door. vk ~ " “Yes,” he réplied, “I can’t endure the atmospherc of this room. - Besides, late as* it is, I have an: appointn.nt to keep. Can’t~you ‘take time for a walk? Ttisa glorious might, and a stroll will do you good.” . . s

“Wait,” said Grover, “the door islocked. I will change my clothes and go with yqu.n ; s % " In a few moments the two young men emerged from the house and walked up the street. , As thiey did so, Eugene glanced at hisiwatch, and saw that it was eleven o’¢lock. ! . .

“Bertha will be anxious,” he said, I have not been, homeé since this forenoon. Besides, I fear-T'have missed my’ appointment with Mr. Gray.” - ‘ ¢ With whow 2°? ackod Clrovecr. !

~ ““Ah!” said Eugene, “ I have 'a secret as well as you, ‘you see. But I eantot be ‘as. frank as you have been. My lips are sealed until to- morrow.” ; This reply seemed to satisfy Grover, and for a time, the young men walked onin silence. : : e Prosently they were overtaken by a mill hand, who was returning f{iém the attorney’s.office.. : “/Have you heard.the news?

THE WORK OF A NIGHT.

! Grover:Clayson set about his midunight ‘expedition so énerget.c.iliy, that m half an hour frcm the time of .leaving Eugene, he found himself, accompanied by an assistant, who had Tong been his confidant, directly under the rear windows of the room where the dead man lay. His companion, Uncle Billy, ashe was called by the villagers, was one of a class of men to be found in nearly every place. Having no - trade or occupation, and no family, he did such odd jobs as came in lﬁs' way,and lived aloneina shanty by theriver, not far from Mr. Clayson’s - house. There were rumours in the village, which gave the old man hardly the bestof characters, but as nothing .criminal had ever been proved against him, his neighhbors were coritent to let<him alone, cspecially as he was good-natured and oiliging, und appeared to be well satisfied with any treatment the villagers were disposed to bestow upon him. - o “I am not certain,” said Grover,'glancing up”at the dark windows about a dozen feet above his head, “ that.a bolder course would not have heen hetter. «It is not too late now, however, to scek entrance by one of the doors in the lmll\m_y, if you think that course advisable, Uncle.” . :

‘lt ain’t safe,” was the old man’s reply. “This affair must be mighty *well aired in the village now, an’ folks as are curious, not knowing . the place is locked, may be a~prowlin’ around the office, for a chance to look at the body. We must get it out of ,this here window, if ‘we get it at all.” ; « Agreed,”’ answered Grover. <« All we need now isa ladder. Do you know where one can be found mear by ?”’ - “Yes; I tinkered one for Fralick, this mornin’; it must be in .his shed on the back street now, I will get it.” “ Be very carefal, Uncle,” urged Grover, +< I judge the people around here are restTess enough to-niglit, and the barking of a dog might play the Old -qu'r;y with us?’ ° 1 will take care of that,” said the old man, drawing a long, keen knife, and dis{appearing in the shadows of a row of outhouseß. .

mused the young man, after he had gone. “It’s almost as light as day, jand we will have to adopt a new plan for carrying off the body, if the sky don’t»clou?up.” i Even as he spoke, he noticed a long bank of dark clouds driving fm?t across the heavens from the West, accompanied by fitful gusts of wind; which portended rain before morning. Do b “The old lawyer’s office hag been put to a use as new as it is strangeé,” 'he thought, seating himself in the deep shadow of the' building.; “I never knew Gplen Gray to attempt’ the obliging before. | I wonder if ‘the old fellow is doing anythifég' about the propérty ? It is strange that there should have been.no will found. Mrg Wallingford was too careful a man to make so great and so irreparable a blunder as he fis now claimed to have made, in dying .\viikhout. ‘revealing where had hidden the will, for every-. one bhelieves that the:? wag.a will, and some say that Galen Gray ?m.s it' in his possession, but I can't believe that.” * Then the young man’s bhOl%ghtS reversed to Eugene. ' 5 “ What business could he have had with Gray, at this time.of night—or at any other time, for that matter 2" he -queried. “The name is the same—Hugéne’s father traced relationship between the families! Can’it be possible—" ~ | o ; The young man's reflections were”here interrupted, by tho-approunch of Uncle Billy, who carried a long, light ladder upon his shonlder. kga i «“I came mighty mear bejng catight,” he smd lowering his «ir - n !;n el down by the veun: s sife. *LThe dog barked, and [ had to !quieb him with: thig: i =g Py 2

But he didn’t propose -to renew acquaintance with yours truly— jumped for my weazen, and ‘I had to let him have it. He know’d I' was there for no good, poor fellow.” | “We may as well get to work,” added the old man, after a short pause. “Wait,” said Grover. |“ It will be dark in a few moments. §ee; the cloudsare shutting out.the light very fast.” - The young man spoke truly. While ‘he had waited, the mass -of clouds which he had noticed, }lmd nearly overspread the: sky, and it was with difficulty that surrounding objects/could now be discerned. 10 e ot g .

' = ¢ “We arein for a goaking,” young man,”. said Uncle Billy, raising ithe ladder against the ‘building. “But 1 ;von’t mind that if; we ain’t seen.” I ¥ ~ On ascending the ladder, Grover found, to his great joy, that t)f)e windows of the rear office where the hody lay, were not fastened. In.a few minutes, | therefore, both himself and his ccglx:lpanidn, stood in safety, by the side of the. prostrate form, which' had been left lying on a rough. table of pine boards. | far s In leaving the’ body,{ the men who had gathered in, the office at thie time of the supposed - accident, hal fsimplj composed the stiffening limbs, washed the blood away, and left the neat suit the vietim of the lawyer’s mge,:l?xad sworn, on his person. - e s B :

“I am glad of thi's,”*_sa.id Grover, ¢ for the circumstance will sreatlyl. aid us, in carrying away the body.”’ ! It was the work of butia fow moments te wrap the body in a largefclonk,hronght for that purpose, convey it to; the open window, and lower it to the grou(l)id below, by means of a rope.
