W h e n I waa juat abou t e igh teen I went to pans a couple of monl l i s wi th m y unc le a t G a y t o n Castle. I t was a long t ime b e f o r e t h o fire which a f t e r -

Y ward des t royed t h e west wing took place, and n o one who has n o t seen t h e cast le b e f o r e tha t h a p p e n e d c a n imag-i n e what a p e r f e c t spec imen of m e d i e v a l a r ch i t e c tu r e it t hen was.

A large p a r l y of visitors were assem-bled at t h e cas t le—qui te th i r ty of us I should say , a n d a m e r r y l i m e we b a d of it.

As Chr i s tmas d rew nigh o the r guests were a d d e d to ou r n u r a b e n , and all t h e usual ly inhabi ted r o o m s in t h e h o u s e were occupied , when Sir Guy re-ceived a le t te r a n n o u n c i n g to h i m t h e a d v e n t of a re la t ion to whom h e could n o t well r e f u s e hospi ta l i ty .

" M y r o o m is a t you r service, u n c l e , " said I, gay ly .

" Ami whe re will you i m m i g r a t e t o ? " repl ied h e doub t fu l ly , glancing al M n . Carey.

" O h ! to t h e h a u n t e d r o o m , s ir ." I replied, careless ly . " I should rea l ly l ike it. You k n o w I h a v e no f e a r of t h e supe rna tu r a l , so do ttay yes . "

I begged, 1 c o a x e d , 1 en t rea ted , a n d a t last prevai led on Sir Guy l o give t h e necessary o r d e r fo r m y change of a p a r t m e n t ; bu t M n . Carey waa f a r h a r d e r to p e r s u a d e t h a n Sir Guy , a n d it was wi th t n e grea tes t difi iculty t h a t I induced h e r to have the terr ible room pu t iu o rde r tor my r e c e p t i o n .

" I t 's t e m p l i n g Providence , miss , a n d laying yourself open to t h e sna res of t h e t e m p t e r . If Mr. Gerald were h e r e h e wouldn ' t allow it, d e p e n d o n it, m i s s " said t h e good woman .

" Nonsense, m y dea r M n . Carey I" I replied, l aughing . " I shall sleep h e r e as souuu ly a n d as safe ly aa I should in t h e newest , brightest room in t h e cast le . Bo good-night, M n . Carey, and d o n ' t a la rm y o u n e l f aWout m e . "

" T h e r o p e beside the ch imneyp iece rings t h e a l a r m , miss, should you re-qu i re h e l p , " she replied gravely, a n d lef t t h e r o o m .

T h e r o o m was complete ly furn iahed in t h e s ty le of two cen tur ies ago. A large ca rved o a k four-pos ter , h u n g wi lh d e e p red cur ta ins , stood in one c o r n e r ; beside i t o u t h e right, waa a n old a n d mass ive ches t , a n d on t h e l e f t a ward-robe , liigh, na r row and curiously ca rv-ed .

A sp inue t stool not f a r f r o m t h e im-mense h e a r t h , and variously shaped cha i i s stood h e r e a n d t h e r e i n theapiu-t-m e n t , whilst a largo m a r k on t h e wall, in t h e f o r m of t h e cross, with a n iche below i t showed whe re a crucif ix b a d once h u n g in f o r m e r days . T h e p l a c e h a d a s t range , weird aspec t .

B e f o r e going in to bed I e x a m i n e d everyth ing; t h e e m b e n glow-ed on t h e h e a r t h , and I p u t on a log o r two to k e e p u p t h e fire. I waa n o l sorry when I f o u n d mysel f in bed a n d t b e cand le safe ly put o u t l I fel t odd , bu t f o r all t h a t I soon fell asleep.

Next morn ing , m a n y were t h e in-qu i r ies with which I waa greeted w h e n 1 a p p e a r e d a t t h e b r e a k f a s t table, but to all of t h e m 1 t r i u m p h a n t l y repl ied t h a t n e v e r h a d I passed a bet ter n ight , a n d l h a t M n . Carey 's ghost, l ike all o l h e n , was a m y t h .

So two o r t h r ee nights passed quiet -ly, bul on t h e f o u r t h I woke suddenly witb a s tar t- W h a t had b ruahed by

J m y bed cur ta ins , aud whose was t h e foots tep I now dist inct ly hea rd cross t h e r o o m ? I waited with a beat ing hea r t . T h e firelight still d imly illu-m i n e d t h e r o o m , a u d to m y hor ro r , a d a r k some th ing crossed it, t hen the flickering flame died out , a u d I was left in t h e da rkness with m y u u k n o w n vis-

i tant . A t t h e m o m e n t t b e castle clock s t ruck two—a deep sigh echoed th rough t h e room. I r e m e m b e r uo more—I supjiose I fa in ted .

Next moru ing my pa le looks at-t racted u u i v e n a l a t tent ion . B u t I compla ined of a violent headache , to which I a t t r ibu ted t h e m .

" W e l l , Ka l e , " said Sir Guy, " I ' v e news fo r y o u t h a t will br ing back the color l o you r cheek . Gerald will be

^ here to -mor row." This was news i n d e e d ! as Gerald

who was t hen m t h e Guards , h a d not expected to get leave of absence f o r ano ther t h r e e weeka.

I soon fo rgo t the vision ( to r so I per-sisted in call ing it to m y s e l f ) of the prev ious night , in d r e a m s of a f a r dif-f e ren t o r d e r ; a u d wheu at n igh t I re-tired t o bed, aloep qu ick ly fell on m y weary eyes, a u d 1 woke nol till the bright morn ing sun flung nis r a y s ou t h e newly awakened world.

ateps, and when I crossed the r o o m t o got into bed I ha rd ly dared to look be-

hind me . But I s lep t ; fo r I r e m e m b e r rous ing

to a sense of exis tence by a loud t hud that rliimk the whole room, BIHI t h e s a m e low, shiver ing sigh I had heard th ree niglits b e f o r e was r epea t ed close lo my ear . T h o heavy foots tep cress-cd the room, a n d distinctly a l thu foot of ray bed , t h e f igure of a monk wrapped in a long, d a r k robe, with a hcod d rawn closely over its head , shaped itself slowly ou t of t h e dark-ness.

I could uo t discern t h e f e a t u r e s of the appar i t ion , bul t h e gl i t ter ing of the

snake-like eyes was plainly lo be dis-linguished. 1 ga t ed as if f a sc ina ted , on tbe awfu l being be fo re me . I can-ne t say I f ea red it , b u l m y hear t fe l l chill, a n d t h e m a r r o w in m y bones f ro i en with awe; a n d a sense of deep, inexpl icable mys te ry took hold of m e , as I saw it raise a th in whi le h a n d , a n d

beckon m e to follow it . T h e eyes of the fea r fu l being seem-

ed to exercise a s t range inf luenco over me, and I raised myself in bed as if to obey its bidding. At t h a t m o m e n t the sigh was r epea led , a n d I h ea rd a f a i n t voice whisper , close to m y ear , in tones tha t curd led m y blood:

" H e e d h i m uot 1" But t h e inf luence of these eyes was

too strong f o r m e ; I could no t resist i t , aud qui t t ing m y bed, I fo l lowed m y

ghostly conduc to r across t h e r o o m , feel-ing I had n o will bu t h is .

The r o o m seemed changisd, a u d was lit u p by a s t range glare . Over t h e n iche in t h e wall h u n g a large cruci f ix , veiled in black, a n d beuea lh it s tood an altar , ou which b u r n e d m a n y l ighted tapers, a n d to t h e l e f t of it , a smal l door in t h e o a k e n wainsco t ing stood

open. Th rough it and dowu a na r row i ta i r -

of my boasted power of will to resist

the west wiug, whe re t h e old draw-bridge h a d once s tood; a n d t h e r e m y guide, t u r n i n g sudden ly toward m e a n d throwing back his hood, s t r u c k a t m e wilh a bhining weapon h e held in his

Gerald was leaning over m e . H e rais-ed m e in his a rms , wrapped h is travel-ing cloak a r o u n d m e and car r ied m o into t h e castle.
