"No ddabt," she replied, raising hei eyebrows and smihng aoornfaily, 'but there n really no cause for tbeso ner- Tons apprehensions, Mr. Snrridffe." He eriiusoned. tie longed to tell her that he had no apprel'eusions for himself, but that he feared for her, for whom he would have given a thousand lives. But he ooold find no wordf In Glorviua's presence he was always embarrassed and awkward. "You have lived in Dublin all your life," she cnntinued, seeing his confu- sion, "and are dpubtless more ularu^ than we country folk are at the oeoa- sioual outbreaks of our fiery and pas- sionate people but, beheve me, they will do us no harm. To use a Scotch proverb, 'Thfeir bark is waur thau their bite.'" "But, Miss Desmond," stammered the tutor, "lh9 papers teem with ac- counts of assassiuatiouB.

"I am quite aware that we run some risk from the national feelmg for revenge but I trust â€" nay, I bekeve, that when my countrymen jinow my guardian is helping Don O'Kourke to defeat the evidence he is compelled to give against him, they will understand tliat^ we Wire injoruig them against out will." "But," he said, "news travels slow- ly to these western wilds. Miss Des- mond, and it is difficult to remove prejudices from the minds of the pea- Boulry. Bolieve me it is not cowar- dice, but common prudence, which in- duces me to talte these precautions." A perceptible sneer curled her beau- tiful lip. "A very apprehensive prudence," she said. "Pray lay aside your nails and leave the oldPnory doors as they are. We will not lot any one hurt you." It wss I'M much.

GBArtBkYIU. That evening the tutor did not join the family b» was writmg letters in the schooboom and they missed him. 01 late he had often read aloud to them, and he read remarkably well. And now there was actually a new nov- el by the "Great Unknown" which he had begun tlie preyioos evening, and which Mts. Coijhlan would not have read without him. Glorvina waret- pecivUy vexed. Ho had been al- most perfectly silent daring dinner, replying only when he waa spoken to, and be had not appeared shioe and she knew that she had eraeUy wound- ed him.

Tliat day, after early dinnerâ€" which they always had when tie master of the boose was away â€" the tutor sat down to bis books, bia usual occupa- tion, while Teddy was «#* walk or |dav with Norah, when a knock eiue at thd door.

I shall kcow il yon have quite fov^pven me by yajr resuming your work- and lotting me help you." What eould he do, but yield a rap- tnrons humble aasent And together they hastened to the nortii rooms. "Tbese are dismal chambers indeed," said Glorvina, as they passed through them, "and are said to be haunted." "Bo Teddy told me. Who or what is the ghost " he asked smiling. "The murdered wife of Feargas Cghlan, who hved tnree huudrod years ago. He killed her in a ht of jtalousy, and she has become the fam- Uy banshee." She turned a liUlefale as she spoke. "Do you know Air. durridge," she uent ou, "1 ha»e seen her." "You mean the other asked. "Ah, yt a have heard Well, I did and let my guardian say what he will, I beheve it was a real banshee that appeared to me. The church- yard walls are high. No one could iiave entered by the gate, which is op- posite to the porch, without our see- iug hiff, for Tim O'Brien was watch- iui{ it. The figure rose suddenly be- fore me from the monument of that very Feargns (rf whom I spoke to you. I could see the moonlight through its hand. Its voicetnu an awful whisper, like the wind sighing at midnight." "And the iaoe he asked. "It Was veiled thickly but thew- ful eyes gleamed through at me." She shuddered again. "I do not beheve â€" I nevea can be- heve â€" in such appearances. Irishman as I am 1 ' said th j tutor gently. "Be* hers me, it was a dtspMrmg effort of anme ^y^^jfio^^. The pretanA ed ghoi^Ry^fl^^veen concealed in the churchyard before we went there. The monument--! know the great pile you mean â€" may have easily con- cealed her or him." " "But how could any oue know that we were going to sow hemp seed that niijht " "Has it never teen done here be- fore " he askod. "Never," she rcphed. "But Norah may hare heard yon say that yon would engage iu the games and reported it in her nursery and then what more likely than the hpmp- seed sowing " "I don't think she did. No," she continued sftera pause. "The ban- she also told me my future fate, Mr. Sorridgc. If the warning it gave mo comes true, I shall believe the whcle will." "Let me implore you not to take such AD idea into your miud," he said earnestly; "the belief in predictions is too apt to lead to their fulfilment." She laughed a little mischieviously. "Well, if the prediction were ful- filled," she said, "it would do no harm. It was only that I should many the bravest man 1 had ever seen." The tutor made no reply. He bad now resumed his work. Glorvina, drawing a faded tabouret to his side, iusisted on handing h:m the screws. She could not do too much to atone for her unkind jeer. So, quite thought- less of the harm she was inflicting in another manner, she sat and laugbed aud chatted with aU the animation of her Irish nature and by degrees the tutor ceased to be shy, and talked to her very much at his ease. At last the ninth door had staples affixed to it and all was done. Glor- yina looked round merrily, though they were in the haunted chamber. "Now," she said, "the fortress is ready for defence. But seriously I thirk one would be rather like a rat in atrapinit,foroneoouldu'tgetout." "There is a window." "But look at the descent. Who would dare it?" "A brave man woold," he replied. "My future hosband perhaps." she said jestingly.' *^*TbiB i* the ctnd of the portion omitted in our issue of May 6. Our readers will now take np the etory firom that date. "But he leoks little.

"Shall I go and tell Eva Yet no she could do nothing. Perhaps she herrd it. Ah, here she is 1" â€" %s a knock came to the door. And, opening it,' she found Eva outside. "Glory, did yoa hear that noise " she asked uneasily. "Yes, it sounded awful did it not ' "What could it be â€" the banshee?" â€" "I hope so really," repUed Glorvina; "ior it at least won't ko us any bodily harm." "Glory, may I sleep with you " asked Eva. "I get so nervous at night now. I wish papa were home. There is no- body but old Mniphy and the tator if any of the Whiteboys oame." "Mr. Surridge could defend aa, I am sure," said Glorvina. "That shgbt man I Why, he would be of no use at all I l!eddy eould help as mucb.*' "Well you can stop with me," said Glorvina. "So don't be afraid any longer. I assure you I am equal to contend with any banshee." {To be continued, SPOILING HIS LOGIC. Here is a ludicrous instance of "speaking out in meetiag," which transpired in a small paiiah iu the South of Scotland The good old preacher â€" au earnest, simple-minded man, who regarded his flock as a ^athenng of children of large growth â€" washolding forth npou the etory of Jonah and, in ap,,. oh- ing the climax, he indulged m a bit of rhetorical floorish, to the following efi'ect "And what kind of a fish was it, my breathern, that God had appoint- ed thus to execute His holv will was it a shark, my breathem No, ti could not be a sbsrk, for God would la ever have given the '• ider f!*ih of His beloved prophet to be torn by the terrible teeth of that voracious mon- ster. What fish was it then, my bretb- ern Was it a salmon, think you Ah no. That were not possible. There's no salmon in the deepest pool of the Tweed could swallow a man. Besides, you ken, it's mair natural for a man to swallow salmon than for salmon to swallow man. What, then, was it Was it a sea-lion, or a sea-horse Or was it a sea-dog, or a great rhinoceros? Ah, no. Those are nut Scripture beafite, ava. Ye're as far afiTt as ever. Which of the monsters 0' that great deep was it, can you tell mc, that swallowed him At this point an aged dame, who had been sitting on nettles, beUeving her minister to be really at a loss â€" thinking he had forgotten the name of the fish â€" as he. raised his hand, and took a survey of his audience, previous to capping the climax, knock- ed him from his bias by crying ont "Hoot, sir it was a whale you ken!"

Bell. The animal, with a number of others, was on Uie oros- aing ot the railway and secKid line, and although the engmeec aoanded an alarm whistle, the bovine stub- bornly refused to move antil struck by the approaching engine. After the accident, Mr. Stein, who is a neighbour of Mr. Bell's, came to the couclusion that the cow was his, and bemoaning Ids loss, he proceeded to look after the beef and hide. It appears that animal much re- sembling the one kiUed is owned by Mr. S., and it was impossible by ex- amining the mnlated carcase to tell to whom it belonged, and it was onlj when the cattle came home in the eve- ning that it was discovered that Mr. B. was the loser of tlie beef. The cow was valued at $40, and is a less to her owner which he can ill afford. â€" Stayner Hun. y^\ • demanded Glorvina impatienty.

But, af)er all was quiet again I leaned my head on my hand aud fell in.0 a deep reverie of all that those words may mean. Somewhere â€" a dainty iorm, still and cold, unclasped by mother's arms to-night. Eyes that yesterday were bright and blue as skys in June drop- pod to-nisbt between white lids, that no voice can raise again. The soft hands whoa rose leaf fingers were wont to wander lovingly around mother's neck and face, loosely hold- ing white buds, quietly folded in cof- fined rest. Soft lips, yesterday rippling with laughter, sweet as woodland brook falls, gay as a trill of a forest bird, to- night umesponsive to kiss or call of love. A silent home â€" the patter of baby feet forever hushed â€" a cradle bed un- pressed. Little shoes half- worn â€" dainty garments â€" shoulder knots of bluett match those of yesterday, fold- ed with aching heart away.. A tiny mound, snow-covered in some quiet graveyard. A mother's groping touch in uneasy dumber for the fair head that shall never rest upon her bosom. The low sob, the bitter tear, as broken dreams awaken to sad reality. The hopes of luture years wrecked, like fair ships that suddenly go down within sight of land. Tho^atching of other babies, dimp- led, healthy, hiughing, strong, and tills one gone the present agony of grief, the future emptyness of hjart. all held iu those three little words, "Baby is dead " Indeed, it is well that wa can oopX and soon forget the words so freight- ed with woe to those who 'receive aud send them. And yet it cannot harm us now and then to give a tender thought to those for whom onr'jaroless pen stroke is preparing saoh a weight of grief.
