I raised my hand in a deprecating way, but too laV* to prevent one discordant outbreak which echoed through the room Before I could lower it the apparition was gone.I turned my head toward the door in time to see a man come hastily and stealthily into the chain tier.He was a sunburned, powerfully built fellow, with ear-rings in his ears and a Barcelona handkerchief tied loosely round his neck.His head was lient upon his chest, and his whole usjxM't was that of one afflicted by intolerable remorse He paced rapidly backward and forward like a caged tiger, and I observed that a drawn knife glittered in one of his hands, while he gruHi>ed what appeared to Is* a piece of parchment in the other His voice, when he spoke, was deep and sonorous.He said, “I am a murderer.I am a ruffian.I crouch when I walk.I step noiselessly.I know something of the .Spanish Main.I can do the lost treasure business.I have charts.Am abl°-bodied and a good walker.Capable of haunting a large park." He looked toward me beseechingly, but liefore I could make a sign.I war paralyzed by the horrible sight which appeared at the door.It was a very tall man, if, indeed, it might Ih* called a man, for the gaunt bones were protruding through the corroding flesh, and the features were of a leaden hue.A winding sheet was wrapped round the figure, and forimni a hood over the head, from under the shadow of which two fiendish eyes, d«*ep-set in their grisly sockets, blazed and sparkled like red-hot eoals.The lower jaw bad fallen upon the breast, disclosing a withered, shriveled tongue and two lines of black and jagged fangs.1 shuddered and drew back as t!ds fearful apparition advanced to the edge of the circle.“lam the American blood-eurdler," it said, In a voice which seemed to come in a hollow murmur fiom the earth beneath it.“None other is genuine.I am the embodiment of Edgar Allen Poe.I am circumstantial and horrible.I am a low-cast**, spirit-subduing specter.Observe my blood and my hones.I am grisly and nauseous.No depending on artificial aid.Work with grave-clothes,a coffin lid, and a galvanic battery.I urn hair white in a night." The creature stretched out its fleshless arms to me as if in entreaty, but I shook my head; and it vanished, leaving a low, sickening, repulsive odor liehind it.I sunk back in my chair, so overcome by terror and disgust that I would have very willingly resigned myself to dispensing with a ghost altogether, could I have been sure that this was the last gf tin* hideous procession.A faint sound of trailing garments warned me that it was not so.I looked up, and beheld a white figure emerging from the corridor into the light.As it stepped across the threshold I saw that it was that of a young and beautiful woman dressed in the fashion »if a bygone day.Her hands wore* clasped in front of her,and her pale, proud face bore traces of passion and of suffering.She crossed the hall with a genth* sound, like the rustling of autumn leaves, and then, turning her lovely and unutterably sad eyes upon me, she said:— “1 am the plaintive and sentimental, the beautiful and ill-used.I have been forsaken and betrayed.I shriek in the night-time and gild»* down passages.My antecedents are highly respectable and g»»nerally aristocratic.My tastes are esthetic.Old oak furniture like this would do, with a few more coats »if mail ami plenty of tapestry, .v ill you not take me?" Her voice died away in a beautiful «•adence as she concluded, and she held out her hands as in supplication.I am always sensitive to female intluenc»**.Besides, what would Jorrock’s ghost bo to this?(’ould anything be in better taste Would I not be exposing myself t»i tin* chance of injuring my nervous system by interviews wit a such creatures as my last visitor, unl«*ss I decided at once She gave in»* a seraphic smile, as if she knew what was passing in my mind.That smile settled tin* matter.“She will do!" I cried; “I choose this one:” and as, in my enthusiasm, I took a step toward her, I passed over the magic circle which had girdle»! mo round.“Argentine, we have been robbed!" 1 had an indistinct consciousness of these words being spoken, or rather s»'r»-ame»l, in my »*nr a great number of times without my being able to gras| tin-ir meaning A violent throbbing ii.my head seemed to adapt itself to their rhythm, and I closed my rt*rm‘Ti.for -iiortatin* »H*t thl* woek’'* from your dealer ana * w ' Granby Buggies only $60 And Light Bead Wagecs only $36 You can get your Wagons repaired, upholstered and painted in first-class style at the same place.You can get your horse shod for 85c.and we guarantee good work.-WE ALSO MAKE- SASH and DOORS And all kinds of House Finishing, also matching and planing lumber.PRICES IX)W.GIVE US A CALL.P»n$ Bros.Jan.15th, 1896.JOHN PERHETT, TAXIDERMIST.Bird* and Animal- artistically mounted.Fishing Rods made and repaired.Curator to the museum.16 CHAPEL ST., s* IIK KI3T* OOKE.The only food that will build !

this gives a bioider floor in the middle Above these lateral seats are sheets of window nearly twice the usual size.The smoking-room, again, is an especial joy.It occupies the whole width .f the car at its hinder end, instead of being cranked in by a corridor leading past it, as in the cars of the United States.With the same large windows on either side and other windows and a door forming the back end of the car, it affords a splendid prospect on three sides of the train.The food on these C P.R.trains is above the average, and the price is consistently insignificant.There is even— oh, joy of joys—a bathroom.True, you may not have a bath 111 it for the bath season closes on the 1st of October, but | he is a poor traveller who has not mastered the theory and practice of taking a perpendicular bath.The sleeping and dining cars in the United States belong to the Pullman Company and are run by them ; you take your berth at a different booking office from that where you get your railway ticket.1 he Cana-dian Pacific owns and runs its own, and.for comfort and good service, 1 doubt if they have their equal in the world.Everything is done that admirable organization, care and courtesy can do to niitigate the horrors of a week's journey across the Continent./>i Patrie draws attention to the fact that at a meeting of the School Commission of St.Boniface on Monday last, one of the commissioners proposed a résolu tion protesting against the settlement ef footed by Mr.Laurier.Five commissioners voted against this resolution and only three for it.“Monsignor Langevin is thus not supported or approved, even in his own house.” Statement Confirmed.8y a Justice uf tlie Peace.Another Victory in Nova Scotia.PAINE S CELERY COMPOUND DOES THE GOOD WORK AFTER ALL OTHER MEDICINES FAIL.Owned that Fly.It on the want bound «xpreea over the Central the oilier aller noon.A fat man who had been complaining of the heat, duat.rate of pro-great* and many other thing* finally de-ided to take a nap.Hefore getting settled down and cloaing hi* eye* he wa* aeen by those nearest him to take an artificial fly from hi* vest pocket and place it on his nose but it waa a «juaiter of an hour before it attracted any attention.Then a woman looked hack and noticed it and said to her husband : “Samuel, do you see that 1 You had better go and brush that fly off that poor man's nose.It's a wonder he can sleep with it but 1 supp.bso he'd tired out." “Yes, 1 guess I'll do that much for him, ’ replied the man and he an»se up and went back.The Hy was «{met.and he advanced his thumb and tiuger carefully picked it off and dropped it on the floor.**Wha—what is it ?’ asked the bald-headed man as he aroused up.*‘A Hy on your nose, sir." “A Hy, eh !
