SECRET

VIOLET’S ae sciieaeil

‘l don’t believe a word of it! said Aunt Rebecca

The wine-like glow of sunset yet illumi- nated the great bay-window; but the rest of the apartment was already enshrouded in the gray shadows of twilight, in whose misty indistinctness the huge chairs of carved oak looked like gigantic monsters from some foreign shore. ;

From the walls frowned down dark old | family portraits, and the crimson hangings above the arched doors waved restlessly back and forth in the draughts of wind that, swept through the vast corridor.

‘I don’t believe a word of it!’ repeated ‘Aunt Rebecca, with more emphasis than | before. ‘A ghost story, indeed!’

‘Tell me about it, Violet,’ said youn Hazelwood, to whom the deep bay-window, with its far-off prospect of snowy hills, , veiled in gathering twilight, to say nothing of pretty Violet Orme’s close vicinage, were infinitely more attractive then the more modern regions of Alnwick Place.

‘It isnot much of astory,’ said Viclet, | flushing up to her very eyelashes at the’ sound of her own soft voice; ‘cnly years ago, long before my great-grandpapa built this house, the site was all one unbroken wood, and there wasa tradition that a beautiful girl was murdered by her lover. | | ‘Her grave, they said, was beneath the) foundations of the house; but I scarcely credit this part of the legend.’

‘Of course not,’ interrupted Miss Rebecca, | ‘with a toss of her falee curle, ‘I have no! patience with the relics of old superstition.’ |

‘What are you looking for, aunt?’

‘Have you dropped anything? Shall I call for Harris to bring a candle?’ asked Violet, a moment afterwards coming to her | aunt’s side. | ‘Nothing, nothing,’ said Miss Rebecca, with a little embarrassment in her voice, ‘Come—don’t stay here any longer in the biting cold, unless you both want a week’s| medicine and doctor’s visits.’ | ' ‘It is not cold, Aunt Rebecca,’ aD ee , Violet, ‘and the starlight is so beautiful on ithe stone pavement. Just let us wait until | that fiery planet mounts a little higher.’ But a peremptory summons from Colonel Orme himself, who had just waked from! 'acomfortable nap beside the glowing fire | in the library, to a sort of vague wonder | ias to ‘where Rebecca and the young! ‘people could possibly be,’ speedily settled _ the matter. | ‘Never mind, Violet,’ whispered Charles. | Hazelwood; ‘by-and-by, when your father | has gone to his room, and aunt Rebecca is ‘busy with her curl papers in her own

;

‘special dormitory. we can have a atraight | stroll through the ghost’s territory!’ Violet gave him an arch glance, as she | tripped after Aunt Rebecca into the hall ‘which led to Colonel Orme’s brilliantly- lighted library.

‘] wish Captain Hazelwood would’nt remiin out there,’ said Aunt Rebecca, ‘anxiously. ‘He will catch his death of cold; and, besides ;

‘Besides what, Aunt Rebecca?’

‘Violet,’ said the maiden lady, ‘I wish you would go down and see if the house- keeper has prepared that posset for my sore throat; that’s a good girl. I think I shall go to bed.’

Violet went to execute her aunt’s be- hests.

How peacefully the distant hills and val- leys slept in their snowy mantles that glori- ous December night !

It reminded one of a lovely painting executed with brushes dipped in liquid pearl, and shaded with pencils of glimmer- ing silver !

At least, so they seemed to Charles Hazel- wood, as he stood in the deep recess of the gigantic bay-window, nearly hidden by the curtains, the faded splendor of whose tar- nished embroidery carried the mind uncon- sciously acentury backward on the stream ‘of Time.

But then Charles Hazelwood was in love.

The tall, old-fashioned clock in the hall was striking twelve, and the colony of crickets under.the warm hearthstone, were falling into a dreamy, sleepy, sori of chirp, as if their small lungs were fairly wearied out, when Aunt Rebecca emerged from her door, treading on tiptoe, and carrying a dim light in her hand.

Now, Aunt Rebecca, in nodding false curls, lace coiffure, an eighteen-year-old style of dress was a very different sort of personage frum Aunt Rebecca, with her head tied up in a silk handerchief, her false curls laid aside, and along white dressing

| ‘for iv’s cold out here in

robe enveloping her lank figure; and the latter was by no means the more pre- possessing of the two.

Probably some such consciousness swept across the good spinster’s brain, for sbe. shuffled with accelerated rapidity past the solemn eyes of the grave old family) portraits on the wall.’

‘I am sure I dropped them somewhere here,’ she murmured, pausing in front of the bay-window.

‘How provoking! There goes my candle| out!

‘But I believe I can find them, however, the starlight is so bright.

‘Mercy upon us! What is that? The ghost —the ghost!’

And Aunt Rebecca fled shrieking down the corridor, her hands clasped over her eyes, before which was imprinted the appal- | ‘ing vision of a tall figure sweeping past, all in white, with a crimson stain at its pallid throat!

The house was aroused into instantaneous | commotion, lights flashed into brightness at the various doors, and an eager circle of | inquirers surrounded Aunt Rebecca, who} ‘evinced strong symptoms of an intention to) /go into hysterics. | ‘It glided past me like a gust of wind)’, she shrieked, replying at hazard to the questions rained down upon her—‘all in| /white, w.th that dreadful mark of blood} | upon its throat! | ‘it’s a warning—I know it’s a warning | that haven’t long to liye! Ub, what shall I do ¥Wwhat shell 1 wb

‘But I don’t understand what doing out in the Ghest’s Corridor at this time of the night, interrupted Colonel Orme, staring at his sister as if rot quite certain whether this were an actual occur- rence in real life or merely a fragmentary part of his last dream.

‘Well, if you must know,’ said Miss Re- becca, with a little hysteric sob. ‘i drop ped my false teeth there, just at dusk, end I didn’t like to look for them then, with Viclet and Captain Haze'wood standing by; and se—and so——’ ,

‘Oho! that’s it, eh ? said Colonel Orme, laughing. ‘Upon my word, Sister Becky, you are rather over-particular for a woman fifty years old.’

‘Only forty-nine, James! interrupted Miss Rebecca, with a shrill accent of indiy- nation.

‘But the ghost?’ inquired young Hazel wood, who had just arrived on the scene of action, with rather a flushed brow and em- barrassed air.

Upon which Aunt Rebecca gave way to the combined influence of her brother's vpkind remark and the fright of ghost seeing, and fairly fainted, without further notice.

According to the usual custom of women- kind on such occasions, Colonel Orme and all the other gentlemen were hustled out into the hall, while the victim of the female officials was deluged with Eau de Colegne, stifled with burnt feathers, and vigorously treated with hot flannel.

‘She’s coming to, pvor dear creature !’ was the final verdict hurled at Cuolone! Orme through a crack in the door.

‘Well, I’m glad of it, I’m sure ! said the Coivnel, dolorously, rubbing his hands ; the hall. Why, hilloa! is this you, my little Violet? What's the matter! Yov haven't seen a ghost, | hope ?

‘No, pape,’ faltered Violet ; ‘“but——”

‘Suppose we three adjourn into the library, Colonel Orme, and I will nndertake the task of explenation,’ inter pored Charles Hazlewood, while Violet's chess grew like flame.

‘Well, may I venture to inquire what ail this ,means?’ interrupted the bewildered Colonel when the library dour was safely closed.

‘It means, sir,’ said Charles, laughing, vet a little puzzled how to proceed, ‘that Violet, your daughter, and I were juet looking out at the stars in the embrasure of the grat hall window, when we saw someone approaching with a light.

‘Violet went to see what the apparition meant, when Miss Rebecca, (whom it proved to be) dropped her candle, and ran shrieking away.’

‘So Violet was the ghost, eh? said the Colonel, repressing a very strong inclination to laugh.

‘You see, papa,’ interrupted that young lady,’ ‘Il wore my long cashmere mantle, for I was afraid of taking cold, and it was tied at the threat with red ribbons, and——’

‘And Aunt Rebecca took it for granted that yon were the murdered herome of our family ghost story,’ said the Colonel, archly.

‘But allow me to ask, young people, what you were so much interested in!’

‘Weill, sir,’ said Hazelwood, *1 had just asked her if she wouldn't marry me— don’t run away, Violet—and she said, *Yes,’—that is if I could win her father’s consent,’

‘Well ?’

‘And I would like to know what her father says to the proposition!’ asked the young officer, laughingly, detaining Violet, who was struggling to escape.

‘He says,’ answered Colonel Orme, ‘that your iptrepidity in facing the ghost de- serves some reward, and he likewise sup- poses that his daughter must be allowed to have her own way.

‘Take her, Charley, and don’t spoil her | No thanks now; but let me go and see after your aunt Rebecca.’

‘Papa!’ whispered Violet, as he rose, with his hand on the door.

‘Well, my dear?’

‘Don’t tell Aunt Becky that—that ;

‘That you were the ghost? Just as you please.’

And he went, chuckling, to inquire after his sister’s health.

There is no evidence that he ever did be- tray Violet's secret.

Two things may be regarded as settled facts in the record of Alnwick Place—one isthat Aunt Rebecca strenuously denies the existence of ghosis, and abhors the very sight of her niece’s white mantle cherry trimmings; the other is, that she is particularly careful never to pass through the solemn old haunted hall alone after

Some of the cleverest detectives in New York are women. They are of different types of beauty and mind, calculated to gain this or that man’s confidence and learn his secrets. One is coquettish, another has a deeply religious exterior, yet another is a delightful musician, sings well, or sketches cleverly. They, may be sent to fellow up their prey in Europe, and may even learn to love him, so dangerous is propinguity— but then there is the Nemesis, the fateful report to be made to ‘‘the inspector” when they return.

At an interview between Mr. Gladstone and the Prince of Wales, at Balmoral Castle, Wednesday, the Prince expressed a wish to make a tour to Ireland, accompan- ied by the Princess. The question will be referred to the cabinet.

It is said that the man who eloped with Miss M »rosoni is of no account, but a com- mon Jehu. He was in the habit of wash ing his underciothing in a horse trough and hanging them on a fence to dry.
