E. W. HAMMOND, Ordinary. Tie Treasure of Fraachard. By ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON. CHAPTER VII. THE FALL OP THE HOUSE OF DESPREZ. The doctor's house has not yet received the compliment of a description, and it is now higli time that t he omission were supplied, for tliu house is itself an actor in the story, and one whose part is nearly at an end. Two stories in height, walls of a warm yellow, tiles of an ancient ruddy brown diversified with moss and lichen, it stood with one wall to the street iu the angle of the doctor’s property. It was roomy, draughty and in¬ convenient. The large raf ters were here and there engraven with rude marks and pat¬ terns; the handrail of the stair was carved in Countrified arabesque; a stout timber pil¬ lar, which did duty to support tho dining room roof, bore mysterious characters on its darker side, runes, according to the doctor; nor did lie fail, when Tie ran over tho legendary history of the house and its pos¬ sessors, to dwell upon the Scandinavian scholar who had left them. Floors, doors and rafters had made a groat variety of angles; every room iiad a particular inclina¬ tion; the gable had tilted toward the garden, after the manner of a leaning tower, and one of the former proprietors hail buttressed the building from the side with a great strut of wood, like the derrick of a crane. Alto¬ gether, it had many marks of ruin; it was a house for the rats to desert; and nothing but its excellent brightness—the window glass polished and shining, tho paint well scoured, the brasses radiant, the very prop all wreathed about with climbing flowers —nothing, but its air of a well tended, smil¬ ing veteran, sitting, crutch and all, in the sunny corner of a garden, marked it as a house for comfortable people to inhabit. In poor or idle management it would soon have hurried into the blackguard stages Of decay. As it was, the whole family loved it, and the doetor was never better inspired than when lie narrated its imaginary story and drew the character of its successive masters, from the Hebrew merchant who had re-edified its walls after the sack of the town, and past the mysterious engraver of the runes, down to the long headed, dirty handed boor from whom he had himself acquired it at a ruinous expense. As for any alarm about its'security, the idea had never presented itseif. What' had stood for centuries might well endure a little longer. Indeed, in this particular winter, after the finding and losing of the treasure, the Desprezes had an anxiety of a very different order, and one which lay nearer their hearts. Joan-Marie was plainly not himself. He had fits of hectic activity, when he made unusual exertions to please, spoke more and faster, and redoubled his attention te his lessons. But these were interrupted by spells of melancholia and brooding silence, when the boy was little better than unbearable. “Silence,” the doctor moralized—“you see, Anastasie, what comes of silence. Had the boy properly unbosomed himself, the little disappointment about the treasure, the little annoyance about Casimir’s incivility, would long ago have been forgotten. As it is, they prey upon him like a disease. He loses flesh, his appetite is variable, and, on the whole, impaired. I keep him on the strictest regi¬ men, I exhibit the most powerful tonics, both in vain.” “Don’t you think you drug him to:> much?" asked madame, with an irrepressible shudder. “Drug?” cried the doctor; “I drug? Ana¬ stasie, you are mad!’’ Time went on, and the boy’s health still slowly declined. The doctor blamed the weather, which was cold and boisterous. He called in his confrere from Bourron, took a fancy for l;irj, magnified his capacity, and PATTERSON'S HALL!

Ha and Jean-Marie had each to take medicine at different periods of the day. The doctor used to lie in wait for the exact moment, watch in hand. “There is nothing like regu¬ larity,” be would say, fill out the doses, and dilate an the virtues of the draught; and if the boy seemed none the better, the doctor was not at ail the worse. Gunpowder day the boy was particularly low. It was scowling, squally weather. Huge broken companies of clouds sailed swiftly overhead; raking gleams of sunlight swept the village, and were followed by in¬ tervals of darkness and white, flying rain. At times the wind lifted up its voice and bel¬ lowed. The trees were all scourging them¬ selves along the meadows, the last leaves fly¬ ing like dust. The doctor, between the boy and the weather, was in his element; he had a theory to prove. He sat with his watch out and a barometer lu front of him, waiting for the squalls and noting their effect upon the humau pulse. “For the true philosopher,” he remarked delightedly, “every fact in na¬ ture is a toy." A letter came to him, but as its arrival coincided with the approach of another gust he merely crammed it into hia pocket, gave the time to Jean-Marie, and the next moment they were both counting their pulses as if for a wager. At nightfall the wind rose into a tempest It besieged tho hamlet, apparently from every side, as if with batteries of cannon; the houses shook and groaned; live coals were blown upon the floor. The uproar and terror of the night kept people long awake, sitting with pallid faces giving ear. It was 13 before the Desprez family retired. By 1:30, when the storm was already some¬ what past its height, tho doctor was awak¬ ened from a troubled slumber, and sat up. A noise still rang in bis ears, but whether of this world or the world of dreams he was not certain. Another clap of wind followed. It was accompanied by a sickening movement of the whole house, and in the subsequent lull Desprez could hear the teles pouring like a cataract into the loft above his head. Ha plucked Anastasie bodily out of bed. “Run!” he cried, thrusting some wearing apparel into her hands; “the house is falling 1 To the garden!” f She did not pause to be twice bidden; she was down the stair in an instant. She had never before suspected herself of such activ¬ ity. The doctor meanwhile, with tho speed of a piece of pantomime business, and unde¬ terred by broken shins, proceeded to rout out Jean-Marie, tore Aline from her virgin slum¬ bers, seized her by the, hand and tumbled down stairs and into the garden, with the girl tumbling behind him, still not half awake. The fugitives ’rendezvoused in the arbor by some common instinct. Then came a bull's eye flash of struggling moonshine, which disclosed their four figures standing huddled from the wind in a raffle of flying drapery, and not without a’ considerable need for •more. At the humiliating spectacle Anastasie clutched her night dress desperately about her and burst loudly into tears. The doctor flew to console her; but she elbowed him away. She suspected everybody of being the general public, and thought the darkness was alive with eyes. Another gleam and another violent gust arrived together; the house was seen to rock on its foundation, and, just as Jthe light was once more eclipsed, a crash which triumphed over the shouting of the wind announced its fall, and for a moment the whole garden was alive with skipping tiles and brickbats. One such missile grazed tho doctor’s ear; an¬ other descended on. the bare foot of Aline, who instantly mndo night hideous with her shrieks. By this time the hamlet was alarmed, lights flashed from the windows, hails reached the party, and the doctor answered, nobly contending against Aline and the temnest But this .prospect of help only a ifirf route m kIM m A LAXATIVE. - Is.
