taiticd tit same attitude, while
the thunder trolled awfully over
the crazy payiHioii, ad made
it shake to its old foundations.
Annoyed al this obstinacy, he
again raised himself in the bed,
and addressed one of the figures.
What do you want with me?'
said he, 'I have already (old you

. Still there, was the aiftesj
lence.: In this inovelessness there
was something awful thaf be

the young man, "Begone J" he
cried to them big tears of per
spiration tricked down his brow,
and his teeth chattered. Be

The moment this confession
escaped his lips, he sank back
in his b0d fainj and gasping for
breath, 'h (figures remained

man, beside, himself, 'I know not
if you huve made a compact
with the demons. 1 believe
for I recognize you you have
frightened me what do you
want more?' -
The same silence pTevailed.
From, the commencement of
this pleasantry, the young mm,
fearing lest it might be carried
further than he could bear, had
always kept about him a pair of
stols loaded, and ready for fir
ing. He laid thrm on a nigh ta
ble beside his bed, and that
same night he had examined the
priming ; every thing was in pro.
perorder- he took up oue of
them. - -
'Gentlemen,' said he, in a
voice tremulous with emotion.
I call God to wiuess that what
ever accident may ensue is the
fault of him oil whom it shatf

He cocked his pistol, and fir

None of them stirred. 7'he uri

broken voice no reply. The
second pistol was fired. The
unhappy man looked, not one of
the figures had stirred. His

eyes turned irom the object

He gazed aghast and sank back
lifeless.

their antagonist difficult to deal

Each of them had one to thfoy
