THE HAUNTED ISLAND.
Accepting an invitation from a yacht
tug friend to go on a summer cruise,
xmw years ago, we found ourselves, one
balmy afternoon, aaihng along the iron
bound coast of Maine, and enjoying the
beauty of the aceucry, with the ocean on
our right, and innumerable inlands,
aome of them bold and rocky, others
green and inviting, upon our left
My friend, whom I shall call Dale '
Drummond, was a man of 35, and had
l»een a sad wanderer since, at 15, he left
home to go into the navy as a Midship
man.
Though all that knew him felt that he
had a history of deep interest, there
were none who cared to ask him of the
just, and, excepting that he came of n
good family, and st 25 had resigned from
the navy to enjoy a fortune left to him,
little was Known regarding him.
“ You run in among these islands,
Drummond, as though you were in oja n
water," I said, seeing how, as I thought,
~ wcklessly be steered liia pretty schooner
jacA urnobg the dangerous Miukea rocks

ivery side, for we had beaded in shore,
t “J knop these waters as Ido my
mother's face, and better, for I have
never seen her since I was a wee child,"
be ansVercd, and after a moment con
tinued, as he pointed to a lordly villa a
_ league away:
“Do you see that mansion yonder,
looking out from that forest ? ”
I answered in the affirmative, and then
added:
• “A second one, too, a league down
the coast."
“ Yes ; in the one I was born ; in the
other I had my hope for the future
dashed t»> the earth forever. ’’
He spoke bitterly, and I saw that he
wan much moved, as he gazed upon the
two old bouses, both of which, as we
drew nearer, seemed crumbling to d<-
cay.
“ Colonel, well drop anchor under the
lee of yonder wild-looking island, which
I remember is said to be haunted, and,
if you care to accompany me, we will go
over and have a look at the old homo
steada, for I have not been here for
twelve years.”
Os course, I was only too glad to go,
pd, half an hour after, we landed on
be main shore ; and, ascending to the
iiff above, found ourselves in what had
•nee been the handsome grounds of a
inc old mansion, but which now was
iasolate and time-worn.
“ There is my home ; no one dwells
here now, for my father cut mo off from
my inheritance, and left the place to a
distant relative in England ; and yet,
strange to say, yonder other homestead
is mine, for it was left mo by the only
being I ever loved ; but I have not
dared come here until to-day."
Wo stood together, gazing upon the
two old mansions whoae broad acres
joined together about half way between
the homesteads and, being in a oom
muxiicßUve mood, Pmmmtgid went on,
tn his easy way :

though we were, we ware lovers, and to

«hv was as wild aa a young Indian.
'‘ A few months after our meeting I
received my Midahipman's warrant, and
left home ti enter the navy; but each
year I got a abort leave ; for there was
not a naval academy in those days , aid
my every visit but ixffatuaUxl me mcsv
with the little Fidels Claire-—fur such
was her name.
“ At length I came home when m my
22d year, and then it was I asked
Fidele to be my wife; for she had
grown to be a beau til nl min Jen !
of 17, and under a akilled governess !
was accomp'.iidied and refined, tie ugh
her untamed spirit would often break
out at restraint
“ Like me she had no mother, and her
father, like mine, was a hermit in Ins
own house, .nd I had never met him,
until .together we sought him in his li
brary, and I boldly told who I »u,
how I had met his daughteXand a--ked
for her hand. J
“ His brow grew black as iQp. >ke, and
I noticed that he trembled ; but he said,
in lbw, st« rn tones :
“ ‘ Young man, your father has,
doubtless, hidden from yon what he ia,
or has bees, or you would iw>*«* coms
here to ask for my child to be your

asked:

“‘First, years ago I knew your fa

that, to get fimalted with his bus in res and

he intended to make the most of the re
maixung days of the year, and had ar

When the aimouncesneut was made tn

29th that the bridge had fallen, carrying
with ft an express train and many paa
eungvre, it did not escape the eye of thia
gentleman’s wife, who naturally feareil
that her husband was one of the victims.
In thia impression she was oonfirmed by
the fact that she received no letters fntan
him and could find no trace of him in
jitecee where his whereabouts were likely
to be known. Hastening to Dundee,

Denison, writing about his school days,
notes two curious bits of discipline to
which the boys were subjected. Ono
was that every boy of the school was
made a party to an offense committed by
any boy. Ths other bit oootoated in a
penitantial letter written home by every
boy in psumaely the same terms The

"I shall spit on his* back," aaid he ;
and as I expected the uaher, having, I
suppoee, heard whtopenug, turned
round, and William was caught ia the
act
The next morning, after the due per
sonal treatment of the leading culprit
by a process more painful than straji
ping, we were all drawn np in single
file in the school-room, and every boy,
older and younger, had to write from
dictation, and than to oopy from his alate
on a sheet of letter-paper, the letter fol
