Do it moved, Jack, dear!” The wardrobe, which had been placed precisely opposite one of the two beds that jutted out from the wall between the door and window, was moved to the center near to the window itself, so that, although from the we could still catch a glimpse of the glass, we could see nothing reftected in it. We were staying in a big. pleasant ho- tel, the locality of which matters little. It must have been very before we went up to our room. I| slept the sleep of the just, as 1 usually do, and, I should think, must have been asleep for some time, when suddenly a flash of light be- fore my eyes woke me. My first impres- sion was that it must be lightning; my next, that my wife had turned on the electric light over our heads. But as I woke up finally | realized that the room was dark. From the bed next to mine I could hear quiet breathing, showing be- yond doubt that my wife was asleep. But—hut—1l sat up in bed and stared, for the long glass in the cupboard, which had been moved that afternoon, was en- tirely lighted up. As I have said, this cupboard now stood nearer, and, though it was not opposite my bed, the light up- on the glass had evidently flashed into my eyes and awoke me, but where in the name of fortune had the light come from? I rubbed my eyes, I leaned a little out of bed, as I tried to persuade myself that some light from outside must be reflected in the glass, though I knew perfectly well that this was impossible, for not on- ly were the venetians closed, but the cur- tains inside the room were also drawn. Then I| tried to think that the light came through the keyhole of a room opening into ours, but this was a still more fallacious argument, for the door have beds | late in question was on the farther side of | my wife’s bed, and nothing could by any means have been reflected from that glass. “Well,” I thought, “1 am the victim of a most extraordinary optical delusion!” for, while | sat up in bed and stared at it, that glass remained steadily lighted up! “I shall get up and see if it is some- thing outside the window,”* I muttered. and, creeping very softly out of bed. | drev uck the rtisits 3 1 yentl: opele é the venetians. Lverything in the gaiden was absolutely still and pitch dark. Not a sign was to be seen in any direction of a light of any sort or kind, and even the stars were great black clouds. I turned back to- ward the room. It, too, was entirely dark, with the exception of the glass, which was still brilliantiy lighted from top to bettom. But all at once I noticed an extraor- jotted out by In the olden times physicians accounted searched vainly for the wise, Elixir of Life, or the knowledge whereby life might be prolonged. We now know that there is no such thing as an Elixir of Life. But we nave learned that life may be prolonged by those who take the right measures. Any man or woman who will take care of health and take the right remedies for il! health, may live to a ripe old age. When a man feels out of sorts, when he gets up in the morning tired out after a restless night, and goes home in the evening com- pletely knocked out with his day’s work, without appetite or ambition, he is a sick man. If he does not take the right remedy be will soon be in the grasp of consump- tion, nervous prostration, malaria, or some other serious malady. A man in this condition should at once resort to Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Dis- covery. It is the best of all medicines for hard-working men and women. It makes the appetite keen and hearty. It gives sound and refreshing sleep. It tones and strengthens the whole system. It invigor- ates the heart and nerves, It makes diges- tion perfect, the liver active and the blood pure. It cures 98 per cent. of all cases of consumption. It strengthens weak lungs, and cures bronchitis, spitting of blood and obstinate coughs. It is the great blood. maker and flesh-builder.

For paper-covered enclose 31 one-cent stamps to cover customs It is not a ward something that was coming to her —a very agony of appeal in her every movement. And at that moment there came into the blaze of light a tall man’s figure. He seemed to come from the end of the bed, as though he had entered the room by a door immediately opposite to it. (In a flash of recollection i remembered a third door in our room, opening directly oppo- site my wife’s bed.) I could not see the man’s face. He was dressed in some sort of a dressing gown, and in his uplifted hand he held a knife. He paid not the slightest heed to the agonized gestures of the woman. He simply advanced to the head of the bed with great strides. The woman crouched back against the pil- lows, her poor little hands pitifully beat- ing against his shoulder, but he seemed utterly regardless of her terror or of her appeals. He pressed her back—farther back against the pillows—and I saw her white, upturned face gleam in the flash- ing light. I could see the fearful, deadly terror in her dark eyes as suddenly he raised the great knife in one hand, hold- ing the other over her mouth—to stop her screaming, I suppose. But he did not, as I expected, plunge the knife deep into her heart. No, he lifted the pillow, like another Othello, and pressed it down, down upon her, till I felt as if 1 myself were being suffocat- ed. Then he lifted it up again and laid her down, and as he did so and turned away, laying the knife beside her oa the bed, I saw his face—a dark, evil, devil’s face. It seemed to glower at me out of the brilliantly lighted glass just for a sec- ond, and then I saw his every feature— the black, evil eyes, the hard mouth, the low forehead, over which a straight lock of black hair fell. I saw how he lifted his hand to push the hair out of his eyes— and then, all at once, the light faded out of the giass and I could see no more. The room was in darkness, and, sick with horror, shivering with a _ horrible dread, I crept into bed again. I did not sleep another wink. I could only lie and puzzle over the grewsome thing I had seen and speculate over again as to its cause or its object. But I arrived at no solution, and never in my life have 1 been so thankful as 1 was that morning to see the gray dawn steal through the yenetians and to hear the birds calling te each other in the garden below. My wife remarked on my appearance, which was certainly not altogether fes tive. Avoiding as best I could my wife’s anxious questions, I dressed hurriedly, being above all things anxious that she should never know of the horror I had seen in that hateful glass. I went down stairs as soon as | could and sought out the owner of the hotel. He was not a master of my language, but fortunately I am familiar with his, and I asked him quietly, but with a good deal of lordly severity, to explain my extraordinary egperience of the previous night. I think he meant at first to deny all knowledge of the phenomenon, but he bad turned visibly pale at my allusion to it and obviously knew all that was to be told. And, with a little more brow, beating, I got it out of him. He apolo- gized most humbly and profoundly for having put us into that room; but, as he explained, the hotel was so full that it was unavoidable. He then went on to tell me that some time before an Italian lady and gentleman, husband and wife, | bad occupied the room we had slept in and the one next to it, whose door was opposite to my wife’s bed. On the morn- ing after their arrival the husband had roused the whole hotel, declaring wildly that his wife had been murdered, which had indeed proved to be the case. There lay the lady, stone dead, a knife beside her on the bed—one of the hotel knives, my host explained in an injured voice— and her husband nearly mad with grief and horror. But the strange thing was that, though the knife lay there, no sign was visible of its having been used. The poor lady had evidently been suffocat- ed. The husband, who had slept in the room next to his wife’s, said that the door between their rooms had been open all night, but he swore he had heard no sound. How the murderer had come, where he had vanished to and, above all, why he had murdered the poor, inno- cent lady remained profound mysteries. “Do you mean that the murderer is still at large?” 1 asked the hotel keeper. He nodded. “Well, 1 could identify him any- where,” I said sharply. The man looked at me keenly. “You saw, sir—you saw?’ he stam- mered. “Il saw the whole thing from begin- ning to end in that infernal glass,” I re plied, “the whole ghastly performance. Has no one ever seen it before?” Mine host crossed himself rapidly. “It has been seen before,” he answer- ed. “but no one has ever seen it al], The lighted glass—yes—and a lady, the lady in the bed—and a man ywhp engers, But, room and breathlessly rushed to the bu- reau, Where the master of the house looked at me as if I were a lunatic. ‘lhe man is here!’ I said, as soon as { could speak. “What man?” he asked bewildered. “The man who murdered the lady in that room where the glass is. Come guickly. I will show him to you.” I think he still thought me mad, but he reluctantiy followed me to the dining room door, and I pointed cautiously down the long room to a table at the other end, where the gentleman in question was placidly beginning his soup. “There,” I said. ‘There he is, sitting at that table!”’ “But, no, sir, no!” gasped my com- panion, you are mistaken. It is impos- sible. That is the lady’s husband. He comes here every year to lay flowers on her grave.” “Oh, does he?” I answered, savagely. ‘Then the more devil he. That is the man who murdered her. I swear it!” ~ . 7 + + . ® And he was the man. , Other little bits of evidence cropped up, and in the end the miserable creature confessed to the deed. It was some story of fiendish and impossible jealousy, and of awful, ungovernable temper, but the details have escaped my memofty. One curious fact remains, or, perhaps, two facts. One is that from the day the villain confessed his deed the ghastly tragedy in the glass was never again en- acted. The other is that, from that day to this, I have never either cared or dared to sleep in a room where a long glass faced my bed.—Sketch.
