Hermaster, smiling at her devotion, drew^his chair to the tire, and having carefully^filled a long clay pits', fell to smoking with^an air of great enjoyment and content,^Then, thinking it extremely unlikely that hi^Would lie disturbed at that late hour, he dls^missed his retainer to her quarters in a^neighboring house, and being left to him^self, lapsed into a brown study . itmight have la-en the fog, or il might^have been the unexpected death of his^patii ut: whatever the cause, his thoughts^took a Very gloomy direction indeed, and^he shisik ins head despondently as he thoughtof his future prospects. Hi- i wasnot made more cheerful by the room,^which was large and dark, and pan. Inl^with oak and ornamented with battered oil^portraits of dead and gone worthies, with^whom he claimed some kinship more or less^remote, who s emed to stare at him to-night^ill a particularly ghostly, not to say wood, u^manner. Hesid s all this, he was in love:^and he had no sooner built a magnitir.-iit^caatlii^in the air^and placed her in it,^than an anything but airy landlord called^for the rent, and the dream was skilled. liehad been sitting thus tor some time^nursing his woes and sipping a glass of hot^cognac which he had pii-pmcd. when he^was disturbed by a loud, imp i .dive kimck-^iufi at the front disir. whereat h snatched^Up one of the gutleringcandlesaiid inarched^down the parlor stairs to open it. The fee^^ble light of the candle, when he had done^so, showed him a tall, strongly-built man^of middle age, whose naturally line propor^^tions wc re increased by the fog. w Inch clung^to them and exaggerated them. The sur^geon noted that he was richly clad, and also^that the embossed hilt of a sword protruded^from the skirts of his coat, while his face,^from some powerful emotion, was pale and^drawn. Areyou the surgeon^^ asked the new^^comer abruptly. Atyour service,^ was the reply. ^Come^ill. Thestranger obeyed, and waiting until^the surgeon had secured the duoi followed^him upstairs. Examineme!^ said he, taking off his^i e ii coat and standing pale mid erect be^^fore him. Unfastenyour shirt.^ said the other,^falling in with his strange humor and coui-^uit Iicmg a careful examination. Well^^inquired the stranger, when he^hud finished. ^Soundas a bell and us hard as oak. Notlikely to die suddenly ^^ suggested^his visitor. No.I should think that that would be^the butt thing to happen to you,^ replied^the pu/.r.led surgeon. ^Why. what is the^matter with you^ Do you feel ill^ No;1 feel hale und strong, capable of^enjoying life with the best. I've never had^an illness in my life. But for all that 1^shall die at midnight. Ofcoarse,^ said the surgeon, somewhat^provoked ut all this uivsterv. ^if you are^going to kill yourself, you r^'n xia-iik with^more authoriu as fo the tunc limn anvhodv^else. i'oMTe^ '^tention of committing sui^^cide, was the stern rejoinder. ^Neverthe^lean, at midnight my time expires. The^muniier of my death is unknown to lue; but^I shall never see the lifting of this dreadful^blackness, which on my last night upon^earth has fitly interposed itself lietweeu me^and the heaven 1 have renounced. Thesurgeon listened to this strange out^^burst, turned to the table, and, Hlling a^glass with brandv. handed it to his extraor^^dinary patient. ''Twill pnt heart into vou.^^said he. Batnot a soul,^ said the other, and.^shuddering convulsively, drank it at a^draught: then placing the glass upon the^table, he drew a purse from his p-s'ket and^looked ut the surgeon. ^ Vour feet! Nothing.1 know not what your trou^^ble is; but I wish much that I could help^yon. I'mpast all help,^ snid the other, sadly,^moving toward the door; then pausing, as^the surgeon took up oue of the candles to lighthim down, he aaid in irresolute tones:^As you shall judge, if vou care to hear.^^Hv all means.^ said Mostyn, heartily, as.^replacing the candle, he puked the Are and^drew up a chair for his visitor. Twentyyears ago,^ said the latter, ac-^cepting tlie proffered seat and leaning to^^ward the surgeon, ^mv circumstances were^very differeut from what MM ^^^ ^^w-^Young and strong. 1 had at the death of my^parents rejected the bread of dependence^offered me bv relatives, and full of hope,^had come to London to make my fortune.^It proved to lie harder work than I had an^ticiputcd: and in a very short while 1 was^reduced to the verge of starvation. One^dreadful night, of which this is^the twentieth anniversary, I^half-crazed with poverty and despair.^For two duys 1 had not tasted food,^nor did I see the slightest ptos|s*ct^of obtaining any. Added to tln^ I^was deeply iu love, though unhap^^pily the interference of those who^should have been our ls^st friends kept us^apart. As 1 crouched shivering in the gar^^ret which served Ml for a lodging. I think I^must have gone a little bit mad.^ lb-^broke off suddriilv. us though unwilling to^continue, and stared gloomily at the tire. Well^^said the surgeon, who had ImtIi^listening with much interest. Haveyou ever heard of compacts with^the evil one^^ demanded the stranger. 1have heard of such things.^ replied the^surgeon, on wlnste spirits the occasion and^the visitor were beginning to tell. 1made one,^ said the other, hoarsely.^^Crouched bv the Matjtf urate, which^ni.k'ked me with Its cold bars and white^ashes, my thoughts turned, as though di^^rected by some unseen power, to all that I^had heard and read of such compacts. As^m\ mind dwelt uisin it, the subject lost^much of its horror, until a gentle rustling^in the neighborhood of the tire drove un^^well quaking hi art to my feet. My fears,^however, were but momentary, and with^! ^ ^ determination I called upon my un^^seen visitor to lend me Ins awful aid. As I^s)Mike the sounds suddenly ceased, and a^voice veined to cry in my ear. 'Write,^write!' I dragged ^ small table into the^moonlight, which struggled through the^begrimed nun s of the window, and with^my own blood and |m miserable stump^of' a pen wrote out the terms of an^agie, nient with the I'rince of Darkness.pos^^sessed, as I did so, with the horrible con^^sciousness of something in the nsmi watch-^mg me. I vowed that if for twenty years^he gave me wealth and the possession of^her whom 1 loved Is Iter than my own life,^mi M*J should Ik- the forfeit, If the next^morning brought ^ change of fortune I^should take it as a sign that he had accepted^ui\ conditions. 1 signed it and swisined.^When I awoke from the sleep into which^tin- stu|Hir had merged me, the sun was^-inning brightly into my foul lodging, and^below was a iin xsenger who brought me^M ^s of a large fortune which had fallen to^me thiough the death of an uncle. (iod^forbid that my rash vow should have aught^to do with it.' Mm then everything has^prospered with n.e. I married the woman I^loved. We have a large futility. I have^kept my secret to myself. To-night at II^inv time expires. Thechange in your fortunes was a mere^coincidence.^ said the surgeon easily. Anothercoincidence for you, then,^ said^Ins w-ilor, whose face was now livid. ^Ill^the morning, when 1 awoke, the agreement^which I had h it on the table had disap^^peared. Mostynrose and, taking great care not to^extinguish the flames, snuffed the candles. AsJ supisised my death was to be a^strictiy natural one,^ Boot limed the stranger,^^1 thought 1 would consult a surgeon, in^order to see whether Raj heart was sound Off^whether 1 was to die as I have said, in a js-r-^fecily natural manner, owing to its disease.^A watchman whom I met directed me to^your disir. Doyou live in the neighborlnsid^ No.'at Westminster,^ was the reply^^But having put all my affairs in order and^wishing that my dear ones should not be^witnesses of my death, 1 have been panning^about the streets to meet it there. Alone^^queried the wondering sur^^geon. I-hope so.^ said tlie other, shuddering. IU-guided by me,^ said the siii.i n,^earnestly. ^Iteturn to your home and for^^get all about this mysterious compact you^fancy you have made. Illscompanion snook his head and t in lit il^to the disir. Alevou going to roam about ill the fog^again^^ asked Mostyn. 'Inless you will let me stay here,^ said^the other, glancing at hun wistfully. ^Vou^are not nervous^ Vou do not think 1 shall^di^ ^ Vouwill die of fright if you die at all.^^^nd the surgeon, sturdily. ^But stay, and^welcome, if you wilt.^ And to avoid the^thanks of Ins guest he ]sikcd the tire until^the resulting bla/.e almost caused the can^^dies to - Mill themselves out with envy. Forsome time they sat silent. The streets^Were How entirely drsrrled, and no sound^save the liokeringof the tire disturbed the^silence of the POOM* Then the surgeon^arose und. U|kiii hospitable thoughts intent,^busied himself with the little spirit case^wuich stisid on the sideboard; and after^sundry most musical gurglings from tin^bottle as it confided its contents to the^glasses, appeared in his place again with^two steaming imtatioiis and a sugar bowl.^^(ognac.^ said he, ^with all its lh-ry ua^tun- subdued, now in its tranquil old age.' Thanks,^said his visitor, taking the^proffered glass. ^ I he last toast 1 shall^drink. Long life to you.^ He tossed oil^the conti nts. and again lapsed into silence,^while lue surgeon smoked his long pip,,^rem ^viiig it at int. rvuls in favor of tne^spirit he had so Inglny commended. Halfan hour pass d, and a neighboring^church clock slowly bisimed the hour of^^ieVen, (hie hour more. The surgeon^l lancing at his companion to see what el^f el ine sound bud Uisin him. saw that his^eyes were closed and that he breathed heav^^ily. Kising cutanisly tolas fist he felt^the pulse ol the strong sinewy wrist wliiclt^hung over the side of the chair, and then,^returning to his seat, sat closely regarding^Itiin. not without casting certain uneasy^glances into the dark corners of the room.^Hatpin went out. the tire burnt low, and,^seen tnrougli the haze of fog and smoke,^the motionless ligure in the chair seemed^siuldi lily to hsiiii large in trout of him und thento be almost obscured by darkness.^***^*^*^ Foru few seconds it seemed his eyes^closed. When he opened them the fire was^out and the figure in front of him still sat^in the chair, though its head had now fallen^on Us breast. Full of a horrible feur, he^glanced hurriedly at the clia-k and saw that^it was just 11,1-ui the stroke of four, then he^sprang to the side of his guest and seized^the wrist nearest to him. As he did so he^started back with a wild cry of horror, for^some -1 ip|ii iy thing, darting swiftly between^Ins feet, vanished iu the gliMiui of a neigh^^boring corner. Krehe could recover himself, the man in^front of him stirred uneasily, and rising un^^steadily to his feet, gazed stupidly at lliin. j^^Whatsthe mutterr'he askid al length in^dazed tout a.

Witha violent start, as he remeiubrred^his pimition, the stranger glanced at the^mantle shelf. ^F'our o'clisjk!^ said hi^^^four o'clock!
