And again she fell a-weeping.

The angry glow faded from her face
.nnl its paleness grew almost ghastl ;
witli dismay- .
"Do you hear it ? " she said , throwing
bath : her covering , and rising from tb
conch. "I do not"
She stood listening with distendet
eyes , as if they were the gates b ;
which such sounds entered.
"I did not hear it ; " she said again
after a pause. "It must be ; one now. '
Then , turning to me , she laid her tan (

black hair , disordered and entangled
wandered all over her white dress tl
to her knees. Her face was paler than
ever ; and her eyes were so wide open
that I could see the white all arounc
the dark iris.
"Did you hear it ? " she said. "N (
1 .one ever heard it before but me.
-must forgive you-you could not hell

Without a word of reply I wrapper

me of my chamber candle , I lighter

out of the room.
"Flow is this ? " she asked. "Why do
a Tou take me this way ? I do not know

"This is the way I brought you in
Lady Alice , " I answered. I know nc
-other way to the spot where I found
you. And 1 can guide you no further
than there-hardly even so far , for 1
groped my way there for the first time
this night or morning whichever it
may be. "
"It is past midnight but not horning
yet , " she replied. "I always know.
But there must be another way from
your room. "
"Yes , of course , but we would have
to pass the housekeeper's door-she h
always late. "
"Are we near her room ? I should

is only Lady Alice. ' Yet I can not'tell

-I will try the way you brought me-
if you do not mind going back with
Jule"
This conversation passed in low
'tone and hurried words. It was
scarcely over before we found ourselves -
selves at the foot of the stnfrcase. Lady
Alice shivered , and drew the plaid
close romnll her. We ascended , and
soon found the corridor ; but when we
got through it , she was rather bewil
dared. At length , after looking into
several of the looms , empty all , except
or stray articles of furniture , she exclaimed -
claimed , as she entered one , and , taking -
ing the candle from my hand , held it
above her head :
"Ah , yes ! I am right at last. This is
rte flaunted room. I know my way
now. "
I caught a darkling glimpse of a
large room , apparently quite furnished ;
how , except from the general feeling
mf antiquity and mustiness , I could not
tell.
tell.At the door of this room she said : I
.must leave you here. I will put down
.the light a little further on , and you
can come for it. I owe you many
thanks. You will not be afraid of being -
ing left so near the haunted room ? "
I assured her that at present r felt
i strong enough to meet all the ghosts
all or out of Hades. Turning , she
smiled a sad. sweet smile , and then
went on a few paces , and disappeared.
The light , however , remained ; and I
found the candle , with my plaid , deposited -
posited at the foot of a short flight
, of steps , at right angles to the passage
: Eke left me in.
CHAPTER Vii.
LOVE AND POWEF
When the morning came I began to
6loubt whether my wakefulness had
: not been part of my dream , and I bad
not dreamed the whole of niy supposed
1ventures. There was no sign of a
lady s presence left in the room. How
.could there have been ? But throwing
'the plaid which covered me aside , my
hand was caught by a single thread of
something so fine that I could not see
it till the light grew strong. I wound
it round and round my finger and
doubted no longer.
At breakfast there was no Lady
. ; Alice--nor at dinner. I grew uneasy.

but what could I do ? I soon learner
that she was ill ; and a weary fortuigl
passed before I saw her again. Mrs
Wilson told me that she had caugh
cold , and was confined to her room
So I was Ill at ease , not from lov (
alone , but from anxiety as well.
I continued my work in the library
although it did not advance with thu
same steadiness as before. One day
In listless mood , I took up a volume
without knowing what it was , or wha
I sought It opened at the "Amoretti'
of Edmund Spenser. I was on th (
point of closing It again , when a tin (
caught my eye. I read the sonnet
read another ; found I could under
stnild them perfectly ; and that horn
the poetry of the sixteenth century
hitherto a sealed fountain , became at
open well of refreshment , and flu
strength that conies from sympathy.
That same day , I remember well
Mrs. Wilson told me that Lady Alict
was much better. But as days passed
and still she did not make her appear
ante , my anxiety only changed its ob
ject , and I feared that it was fron
aversion to me that she did not jolt
the family. But her nacre was never
mentioned in my hearing by any of
the other members of it ; and her ab
sense appeared to be to them a matte )
of no moment or interest
One night , as I sat in my room , l
found , as usual , that it was impossi
ble to read ; and throwing the boot ;
aside , relapsed into that sphere o1
thought which now filled my soul , and
had for its center the Lady Alice. I
recalled her form as she lay on the
coach , mud brooded over the remey
brlnce till a longing to see her , al
most unbearable , arose within me.
"Would to heaven , " I said to myself ;
"that will were power' "
In this occurrence of idleness , dis
traction and vehement desire , I found
all at once , without any foregone conS
elusion , that I was concentrating and
intensifying within me , until it rose
almost to a cotnnland , the operative
volition that Lady Alice shoul(1 come
to me. In a moment more I trembled
at the sense of a new power which
sprung into conscious being within me.
I had no prelersion of its existence ,
when I gave way to such extravagant
and apparently helpless wishes. I
now actually awaited the fullillhent
of my desire ; but in a condition ill.
fitted to receive it , for the had
already exhausted Inc to such a
degree
scions tremor. Nor had I long to wait.
I heard no sound of approach ; the
closet-door folded back , and in gilded ,
open-eyed , but sightless , pale and
saint-like , the Lady Alice. I shuddered -
ed from heath to foot at what I had
clone. She was more terrible to me in
that moment than any pale-eyed ghost
could have been. For had I not exercised -
cised a kind of necromatic art , and
roused without awaking the slumber-
fug dead ? She passed me , walking
round the table at which I was seated -
ed , went to the couch , laid herself
down with a maidenly care , turned .a
little to one side , with her face toward
me and gradually closed her eyes. In
something deeper than sleep she lay ,
and yet not in death. I rose , and once
more knelt beside her. , but dosed not
touch her. In what far realms of life
might the lovely soul be straying !
Wlrat myterious modes of being might
now be the homely surroundings of
her second life ! Thoughts unutterable
rose in me , culminated and sunk , like
the stars of heaven , as an absent life-
a life that I loved by means of the
symbol ; a symbol that I loved because
of the life. How long she layy thus ,
how long I gazed upon her thus , I do
not know.
I knew that she was awake , some
moments before she opened her eyes.
When at last those depths of darkness
disclosed themselves , slowly uplifting
their white cloudy portals , the same
consternation she had formerly maui-
fested , accompanied by yet greater
anger , followed.
"Yet again ! Am I your slave because
I am weak ? " she rose in the majesty
of wrath and moved toward the door.
Lady Alice , 1 have not touched you.
I am to blame but not as you think.
Could I help longing to see you ? And
if the longing passed , ore I was aware.
into a will that you should come , and
you obeyed it , forgive me. "
I hid n11y face in my hands , overcome
by conflicting emotions. A kind of
stupor came over me. When I lifted
my head she was standing by the
closet door.
"I have waited , " she said , "to make a
request of yon. "
"Do not utter it , Lady Alice. I know
what it is. I give you my word-my
solemn promise , if you like-that I will
never do it again. She thaked me
with a smile , and vanished.
Much ) to my surprise she appeared
at dinner next day. No notice was
taken of her , except by the younger of
1113' pupils , who called out :
"Hallo , Alice ! Are you down ? "
She smiled and nodded , but did not
speak. Everything went on as usual.
There was no change in her behavior ,
except in one point. I ventured the experiment
periment of paying her some ordinary
enough attention. She thanked me
without a trace of the scornful expression -
pression I all but expected to see upon
her beautiful face. But when I addressed -
dressed her about the weather , or
something equally interesting.she made
no reply ; and Lady Hilton gave me a
stare , as much as to say , "Don't you
know it is of no use to talk to her ? "
Alice saw the look , and , coloring to
the eyes , rose , and left the room.
When she had gone Lady Hilton said
to me :
"Don't speak to her , Mr. Campbell ,
It distresses her. She Is very peculiar ,
you know. "
CHAPTER VIII.
A NEW PUPIL
One day , exactly three weeks after
her last visit to my room , as I was sitting -
ting with my three pupils in the
school room , Lady. Alice entered , and
began to look on the book shelves as
if she wanted some volume. After a
few moments , she turned , and approaching -
preaching the table , said to me , in an
abrupt , yet hesitating manner :
"Mr. Campbell , I cannot spell. How
am I to learn ? "
I thought for a moment , and replied :
"Copy a passage every day , Lady
Alice , from some favorite book. Then
if you will allow me I shall be most
happy to point out any mistakes you
may have made.
"Thank you , Mr , Campbell , I will ;
but I am afraid you will despise me ,
when you find how badly I spell"
"There is no fear of that , " I rejoined.
1
TJttlbLSSSs r
"It Is a mere peculiarity. So long a :
one can think well , spelling Is alto
gotlter secondary. "
"Thank you , I will try , " she said
and left the room.
Next day she brought me an old gal
lad , written tolerably , but in a schoo
girl's hand. She had copied the an
tique spelling letter for letter.
"Thus is quite correct , " I said ; "but
to copy such as this will not teach yet
properly ; for it is very old , anti con
sequently old-fashioned. "
"Is it old ? Don't we spell like that
now ? You see I do not know any
thing about it. You must set me mi
task then. "
This I undertook with more pleasure
than I dared to show. Every day slit
brought rile the appointed exercise
written with a steadily improvln
hand. To my surprise I never found mi
a single error in time spelling. Ol
course , when advancing a step in flit
process , I made her write fromn my chic
Cation , she did make blunders , but nol
so many as I had expected ; and slit
seldomn repeated one after correction.
Long before Lady Alice had made
this progress , my nightly struggles be
gan to diminish in violence. They had
now entirely ceased. The temptation
had left me. I felt certain that fet
week she had never walked in hem
sleep. She was beyond my power , and
I was glad of it
I was , of course , most careful of my
behavior during all this period , and
strove to pay Lady Alice no more at
tention than I paid to the rest of my
pupils ; and I cannot help thinking that
I succeeIcd. But now and then in the
midst of some instruction I was giving -
ing Lady Alice , I caught the eye of
Lady Lucy , a sharp , common-minded
girl , fixed upon one or the other of us ,
with an inquisitive vulgar expression ,
which I did not like. This shade me
more careful still.
1Viiether It was from Lady Lucy's
evil report , or that the change in Lady
Alice's habits and appearance had attracted -
tracted the attention of I a(1y IIilton , I
cannot tell ; but one morning she appeared -
peared at the door of my study , and
called her. Lady Alice rose and went ,
with a slight gesture of impatience. Iii
a few minutes she returned , looking
angry and determined , and resumed
her seat. But whatever it w' is that
hul passed between then ) , it had destroyed -
stroyed that quiet flow of feelings
which wes necessary to the working
of her thoughts. In vain she tried ] ; she
could do nothing correctly. At last
she burst into tears and left the room. I
was almost beside myself with distress
and apprehension. She did trot return
that day.
Next morning she entered at the
usual hour , looking composed , but paler -
er than of late , and showing signs of
recent weeping. When we were all
seated , and had just commenced our
work , I happened to look up , and
caught her eyes intently fixed on me.
They dropped instantly , but without
any appearance of confusion. She
went on m'iUi her aritluhetic and succeeded -
ceeded tolerably. But this respite waste
to be of short duration. Lady IIilton
again entered and called her. She
rose angrily , and my quick ear caught
the half-uttered words , "That woman
tvihl make an idiot of the again ! " She
did not return , and never from that
hour resumed her place in the school-
room.
I was lying on the floor of my room
one midnight , with 1113' face to the
; round , when suddenly I heard a low ,
sweet , strange voice singing some-
where. The moment I became aware
that I heard it , I felt as if I had been
listening to it unconsciously for some
minutes past. I lay still , either charmed -
ed to stillness , or fearful of breaking
the spell. As I lay , I was lapped in
soughs , and the waves fell with a
threatful tone upon the beach , muttering -
ing many maledictions as they rushed
up , and whispering cruel portents as
they drew back , hissing and gurgling ,
through the million narrow ways of
Lime pebbly ramparts ; and I knew that
t maiden in white was standing in the
: old wind , by the angry sea singing. I
.lad a Lind of dreamy belief in my
lreamn ; but , overpowered by the spell
) f the music , I still lay and listened.
[ Ceener and stronger , under the fm-
) ulses of 1113' will , brew the power of
ny hearing. At last I could distin-
; uish the words. The ballad was
'Annie of Lochroyan , " and Lady Alice

Future of the Republican I'arty-
Free Trade Democrats.
Threaten' Bankruptcy.
The New York Tribune urges the
pressing necessity of preventing the
passage of the new currency bill and
points out the dangerous evils that
would result if it became a law :
It is sheer nonsense to argue that
this bill ought to be put through because -
cause the treasury is in trouble. The
fact is that the treasury is in trouble
because this dangerous bill is pend-
ing. Its passage would not in the
slightest respect relnovo the dangers
of the treasury , but would
in all probability increase them
greatly. This is obvious when it is
considered that the new bill , while it
does not formally require national
banks to change their basis of circulation -
lation , does expose them to such unfair -
fair and destructive competition by
state banks that they would be most
powerfully influenced to abandon the
national system , soil their bonds and
organize under the new bill as state
banks. 'I'his would leave them free
to continue the circulation of notes of
less than $10 each , whiio as national
banks this most profitable part of their
circulation would be withdrawn. The
change would save them from two
taxes amounting to 1 per cent on their
entire circulation , which state banks
would not have to pay. It would oiler
the chance by convenient arrangements -
ments with state officials to get back
into their own keeping as state deposits -
posits at least a part of the guarantee
fund of 30 per cent of their circulation
which the state banks are permitted
to place with a state official , who can
then keep the fund as he does other
funds wherever he thinks safest and
best , while the national banks have
to place their funds with the treasury. .
These are but part of the inducements -
ments which would operate to break
down the national system , and to substitute
stitute notes of forty-four ditlcrent
kinds of state banks. One of enormous -
mous potency is the opportunity to
lend money on real estate , which vin
some sections would enable the banks
to increase their capital and business
almost indefinitely , and , until the
crash comes , their profits also. The
men engaged in conducting national
banks are not so entirely different
from others engaged in moneylending
that they would shrink from the risks
attending loans of this character.
What restrictions state laws may provide -
vide can only be guessed from experience -
ence under state banking laws before
the war , when Democratic money
brought repeated disasters. Thirty
years under the national system have
proved that it is eminently wise in its
restrictions and safeguards , and the
disposition to overthrow these , and to
rush again into time saturnalia of wildcat -
cat banking , is not one which any
sober business man should encourage.
All the influence which the new bill
would exert iii driving banks out of
the national system , or to subject
them to such competition from less restricted -
stricted and less taxed state banks ,
would operate also to cause sales of
United States bonds which ) time banks
now hold. That some would surrender -
der circulation at onceshould the new
bill be passed , is only too obvious , and
the sale of bonds by these would start
a fall in the price. But the losses
liable to be incurred by holding the
bonds too long would then weigh too
powerfully with other banks , and so
so every sale would tend to bring
about other sales. It is not this sort
of thing which will restore confidence
in the treasury or prevent withdrawals -
als of gold , or render it more easy for
the government to maintain gold pay-
ments. On the contrary , it is only too
clear that the substitute bill , not less
than time original , would threaten national -
tional bankruptcy and a profound
monetary disturbance.

miserly old man thought when ho

back to him in the morning before he
would let them eat their breakfast.

before him , has little reason to doubt
that this is a country in which any
man can make a living if he is only

The ultimate object of the Democratic -

A Free Trade l'roclatnation.
The executive committee of th
Democratic party of Minnesota hay
come out boldly and squarely for Ire
trade. In their address they plan
themselves without reserve or qualifi
cation : upon the most radical oxtrem
of the free trade doctrinaires-upoi
the naked principle of a tariff for rev
enue only , with all its consequences
including "a direct tax levied as pro
vided in the constitution sufficient t
compensate for the tax removed. '
This position certainly has the meni
of boldness , as the argument for it ha :
the merit of logical consistency if no
of practical plausibility. The theory
of it is that the disastrous defea
which has been suffered by the Demo
cratic party is duo to the practical re
pudiation by its representatives in
congress of the principles of fret
trade declared in the national plat
form of 189 ? . They have been anon
keying with the false gods of protec
tion , and the party which was exalter

would extirpate every vestige of tint

try over to the British policy , and its
commctco anti manufactures to tht

of popular wrath because it did nol
keep these pledges. Time only thing
now left for it is to go back to first
principles , appeal to the conscience of
