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.
