Van DectenBaim’s Bargain.
* By M. THEE D.
teownNCRD.)
Yne proposition my so« bm to make to
me was simply this: In all respect* but one I
was to be, as my wife had been led to sup¬
pose, his guest in his own houso; that is to
say, I was to breakfast with him before
I went cityward in the morning, and
to return to Woodlands to dine and spend
the evening, but ray sleeping quarters were
to be at the Cedars! I should thus be in a
position to satisfy myself as to thp fitness of
the house for tiie accommodation of my fam¬
ily, pnd the absurdity of the reports which
had been circulated respecting it. We both
knew the folly and credulity in which such
stories originated, but we knew too the ras¬
cality which not uafrequently took advan¬
tage of such woakuess teAanswcr Its own pur-
-pose, and-itr would be weiito ascertain that
there had been no such agency at work in
the present instance, or if there had, to dis¬
cover it.
“I do not say that I have reason to distrust.
either old Minchin or his wife,” added Mr.
Van Deckermaun, “but my loss has been their
gain nil these years, and human nature is
weak. The old woman was shaking in her
shoes the day I took your wife over the
houso, and she would not have been behind¬
hand in putting a spoke in the wheel, had
tho opportunity been given her, on tho bare
suspicion of the real facts of the case. If
there lias been any roguery at work, it is for
you, in your own interest as well as in mine,
to get to the bottom of it. Youare not to be
scared by the fear of the supernatural—that
bugbear of the ignorant and the superstitious
—for you do not believe in it, and I will see
that you have the means of turning the ta¬
bles upon any clumsy impostor who may try *
his hand at frightening you.”
The words were cheery. and confident
enough, but there was a certain eagerness in*
the utterance of them, and the old man’s
keen eyss had a curious shiftiness of expres¬
sion I had never remarked in them before,
os he thus addressed me. I could not help
thinking he was trying to convince himself,
as well as me, of the force of Wbathewas
saying. That the whole thing appeared to
him less commonplace than be Wishcu ‘to
make it out, I felt as certain as that I myself
was not, really and truly, going to daredevil the in¬
vestigation of it in the proper
spirit. I did not believe in ghosts or ghost-
lore, that I maintain; but If I bad ever had
much of tho spirit of adventure in me the
monotony of a business life had knocked it
out of me, and I had come to regard a good
night’s rest as one of the best things in life.'
Still the stake was well, worth the playing
for, and I did my best to look pleasant over ft.
One thing I did ask my host. What was-
the story attached to the house, and what
form did the apparition take i
He tapped his snuffbox and shook his
head.
“No, no,” he said, “I am not going to put
things into your head. How can I answer
for the state of your digestion, or your prob¬
able immunity from nightmare, as it is?
You know too much—that is too say, you
would know too much, supposing you were a
man of weak nerves or vivid imagination,
already. If I could have kept you In utter
ignorance the test would have been a surer
one, but that I could not, and I have to re¬
quire of you, on your honor, that you neither
seek nor accept at the hands of any one the
information I withhold from you. You will
not seek—of that I am satisfied—what I wish
you distinctly to promise me is that you will
refuse to lend an ear to any one wbo may try
to enlighten you—the woman Minchin, for
example.”
I gave him my word that I would respect
his wishes, and an hour or so later found me
in possession of the room which had been
assigned me at the Cedars. Mr. Van Decker-
m&nn had not himself faced the cutting cold
of the moonlit December night, but the old
couple were on the lookout for my appear¬
ance, and things had been made more com¬
fortable than I expected. Some of the old
furniture, of which my host had spoken when
he first entered upon the subject of tee bouse,
had been brought down from the garrets,
and disposed in what would appear to
have been its original quarters, while
a bright fire burned frostily in the
old fashioned grate. I observed, with a
certain remorseful appreciation of a thought¬
fulness for my comfort for which I should
not have given her credit, that Mrs. Minchin
had not limited her provision for mf accom¬
modation to absolute necessaries. Of the
two windows, the one nearest to tee bed was
closely and carefully curtained—for tho
other, aa she took occasion to explain, there
was no curtain forthcoming, and an arm¬
chair and footstool, with the faded coverings
of which the moth had long since made ac¬
quaintance, had been drawn up to the fire.
The old woman seemed indeed to have re¬
membered everything, even to the night
light in a saucer on the mantle piece, to ignite
which was her last care before leaving me
for the night For the rest, she was as taci¬
turn as her employer could have wished.
She received my thanks in silence, and,
having ascertained at what hour she was to
call me, left me to myself with all possible
celerity.
When she had turned her back I proceeded
to take a minute survey of the room.
That it was, or had been at some
time, the scene of whatever mystery
was connected with the house, I
could not reasonably doubt, seeing the object
with which I had been sent there. The first
thing for me to do then was to discover in
what way—if any—it was likely to lend itself
to tee perpetration of a fraud.
Briefly, ! could find nothing in it to reward
my inquiries. It was a large room, almost
square, with nothing remarkable about it.
There were, as I hare said, two windows,
and there was one of the closets my wife’s
heart had delighted in. I opened the door of
this and looked in. It was empty, as it had
been, in .common with the rest, on the. occa¬
sion of my previous visit The bedstead,
which had been brought down from tho
attics, was of mahogany, minus poles or hang¬
ings. Nowhere Wat there any ambush for
anything; one could see the room and all it
contained at a glance. I went tothetur-
tained window and examined It carefully; it
fitted well and was fastened; so was the
other, the blind of which I drew up, and saw
tbe’garden lying below me, every shrub that
it contained clearly defined in the moonlight
I left the blind up—undressed with my
usual expedition, and went to bed and to
sleep. in
It was between 3 and 4 the morning
when I awoke, for I took note of tho time
afterward, but what it was that caused me
to awake I cannot say. All I know is teat
the room was os light as Jay, and that I was
not alone in it
Creeping stesdthily across the room, and
feeling his way with his hands as one might
who was blind, was the figure of Andrew ran
Deokermann. Ha had his profile toward me,
sad his head was even more Aiming within
his shoulders than usual, so that I could not
rightly distinguish his features; but his gait
and dress were as familiar as they were re¬
markable. About tho cut of teat brown
coat, as about the peculiar inclination of tho
bead and body, there could be no mistaka
But how and with what object had he eogie
thither? I had left him In his own house—
true, mere-was uocoing vo prevent aim mm
following mo, but what could bo bis motive}
Was it possible I was the dope after all of a
m ad m an, and that tho traits I had regarded
as mm eccentricities ought, tn reality, to
have given me the clew to the truth? Was
it to be accounted for in this way, or was it
that the sarcastic humor, of which I had seep
a good deal in my intercourse with hint, had
prompted him to subject my boasted scepti¬
cism to ah ordeel which, malicious though
it might be, was, perhaps, not undo-
served? But this last hypothesis would not
hold water for a moment. Granted that ten
old Dutchman had the wilt to conceive a
practical joke of this sort, he would as¬
suredly, were be in his right, mind, have
chosen a more convenient season for carrying
it out in his own proper person. There was
but one elucidation of conduct so extraor¬
dinary-ray first conjecture was the right
one—Mr. Van Deokermann was not account¬
able for his actions.
It is not an agreeable sensation, that of
being tete-a-tete with a madman, even though
he be old and feeble, and you apprehend no
violence from 1dm. In the moonlight, too,
things have a strange, flutter uncanny look with
them. I tried to myself that I was
keeping silence and pretending not to bo
awake, partly in order to sed what my
visitor was about to do* partly to defeat his
insane malice; but I was conscious, in spite of
mvself. of a fascination against which I v-es
powerless. To lie and watch from between
my closed eyelids was all I could do.
Still with hands outstretched, still with the
same tottering gait, past the foot of
the bed, and toward the fireplace
where, turning round in the mid¬
stream of tee moonlight, face and
figure alike stood revealgd. The some and
yet not the same, a mask rather than a face
—tee lips parted, the eyes open and staring
fixedly before them, with a terrible, unmis¬
takable stare of vacuity—tee face of one
more dead than alive. Terrible as the eight
was, it brought with it a sadden and un¬
looked for relief. The first look at those ap¬
parently sightless orbs and that expression¬
less countenance assured me that the old man
was as genuinely unconscious of his sur¬
roundings as I was endeavoring to appear to
be of mine. Once before, I had seen a man
walking in his sleep, and I bad not forgottou
that ghastly phenomenon.
He was still groping about with his hands,
and it did not occur to me at tee moment as
altogether opposed to the theory I had so
readily adopted that what was In his normal
state only nearsightedness should be exag¬
gerated in his present condition into almost
if not total—blindness. Suddenly, while I
was still watching him, for my eyes had not
quitted him for a moment, one wandering
hand found a resting place on the arm of the
big chair I had noticed upon entering the
room as having been put for my aeOommoda- *
tion. The effect upon the frame of the old
man was os though there were connected
with the wood a galvanic battery. Every
nerve in his body seemed to be put in mo¬
tion, but though his teeth chattered and his
eyes moved in their sockets, no sound escaped
him—it was as though oue had electrified a
corpse.
So strong as that, and yet not strong
enough to awaken him! A chill that I could
not account far, and that seemed to be numb
ing all my faculties, was creeping over me.
The face that I was staring at, with eyes
which refused to leave it for the shortest mo •
ment of time, seemed more and more tho dis¬
torted image of that I was familiar with; I
felt as though break this unnatural silenco I
must, but no words came to my assistance.
Had I, too, been struck dumb and helpless?
If only he would speak, rave, do anything!
I was scarcely conscious of tho longing
that was upon me, before it was gratified;
the trembling figure erected itself, as if de¬
terminedly getting the better of the shock it
had received, and onge more^but this time
as of fixed purpose, tee thin grasping fingers
were stretched out in the direction of tho
chair. As they closed upon it, the whole
face changed, an expression of eagerness and
aridity took the place of tee vacant stare I
had hitherto confronted, what looked like a
flash of triumph seemed to quicken into life,
beneath their bushy brows, the eyes whose
power of vision I had thought suspended,
and with a strange, unearthly sound, half
cry, half - chuckle, which made my blood
creep, the old man flung himself ou bis knees
before the chair.
In this attitude, and with his back to me,
what was it he was doing, or attempting
to do.
I raised myself a little in the bed and saw
to my increased mystification that he had
taken hold of the chair—a ponderous old
contrivance, swathed in a loose cover of faded
damask—and was apparently endeavoring to
tilt it up. The chances wore he would upset
it, and not escape without more or less in¬
jury to himself in doing so. Yet how to
withdraw him from it without awakening
him, and that roughly—a measure wtways,
so I had been instructed, to be carefully
avoided in cases of somnambulism.
“Mr. Van Deckermaun,” I said, finding
my voice at last with an effort, “can I corao
and help you?”
There was a short, sharp sound as of some¬
thing falling, hut there was no answer—and
where was Mr. Van Deckermaun?
The old chair was still standing—and
standing on terra, firma In tho track of the
moonbeams—of tho homely elderly figure in
the brown suit, which hod been kneeling
before it a moment before, there was not a
trace. I sprang out of bed, fired with
a sudden overmastering Indignation at find¬
ing himself, as it were, baffled and cheated,
and flung open the doors of the closet, of the
emptiness of which I had assured myself be¬
fore retiring for the night. It was as I had
left it. The only other way in which, even
supposing my sanest for the moment to have
deserted me, my visitor could have eluded
me was quitting the room outright.
I went to the door—it was locked, as I had
taken the precaution of locking ita few hours
previously, on the inside.
I stood for a moment in an utter hopeless
bewilderment, and then I hurst into a laugh,
which sounded even to myself forced and un¬
natural.
“Paha!” I exclaimed, “I must have been
dreaming.”
The words had scarcely passed my lips
when something, the like of which I had
never heard before—something between a
laugh and a wail—an indescribable mingling
of pain and mockery—sdunded close at my
elbow. Turning sharp round to see whence
it came, I lost my balance and fell face for
ward oa the bed, dragging the sheet, at
which I clutched to save myself, to the
ground. As I did so, something fell on the
floor with a tend. It was my watch, which
failing its accustomed receptacle, I had
stowed away under my pillow, but of this I
did not satisfy myself until the morning,
when, upon finding and picking it up I dis¬
covered teat it had stopped at a quarter
to 4 o’clock. Of the rest of that night I have
no remembrance, save a confused one of
scrambling into bed with, I think, the meet
fervent prayer to be delivered from evil I
had ever uttered on my Ups.
“And you expect sober me to believe that you
were in your senses when you saw, or
imagined you saw, this—what shall I call it?
—double of myself?” said Mr. Van Decker-
mann when 1 had related as briefly as
could my experience of the night before.
“I have told you already, sir, that I was
wideawake. Put it to yourself whether I
should be likely to be such a fool as to let
