Mrs G-ainsfeorouch's Diamonds pksring the farmyard and buildings and then coming around to the road, and pacing up and down on a beat about a ] quarter of a mile m length. It waa a clear, moonlight night, and bo warm as to be almost oppressive. At length 1 return ed to the house, it being then after nine o'clock. Mr. Birchmore had apparently retired; Christina was nowhere to be seen; so 1 got a lamp from my surly landlord and found my way without much difficulty to my own chamber. The warmth within doors was still more oppressive than outside. 1 opened both the windows, drew up my bed be tween them, and placed the table with the lamp on it near the bed's head. 1 had previously thrown off my coat and waistcoat and laid them across one end of the table. The diamonds were still m the pocket of the coat; 1 intended taking them out before going to sleep and putting them under my pillow or m some equally secure place. My revolver i also placed beside the lamp. Then having provided myself with a book out of my trunk and drawn the bolt of the door, I reclined on the outside of the bed and began to read. 1 could not, however, fix my mind upon the page. First my attention and then my eyes would wander; 1 took a futile and absurd interest m scrutinizing all the details of the room. 1 recollect them distinctly now. The walls were not papered, but the plaster was washed over with a dark gray tint, which rubbed off on the fingers, and the uniformity of which was relieved by vertical bands of -$t>ll red, painted at intervals of about five v'S%et from floor to ceiling. The ceiling was iow-'-Cbjoj?* eight feet from the floor —and white^wasil§tt S ~-laiia9-C2roer stood the china stove, a glistening, palTf<rgfcfS&», tare of plain tiles, built up four square nearly to the top of the room. / rose from my bed and laid my hand gentVy on her lorlst. On the side of the room opposite the two windows and the bed was fastened a tall looking glass, formed of three plates set one above the other, edge to edge, m $uch a manner as painfully to cut up and distoi*t whatever was reflected m them. In front of the looking glass was a iilliptstian washstand and beside it a straight legged chair without rungs—m a word, a room more utterly devoid of every kind of picturesque or ornamental attraction could not be imagined; yet I could not keep my eyes from vacantly traversing and retraversing its vacancy. The door was behind me, as Hay turned toward the little table on which the lamp stood,, but I could see the free edge of it brokenly reflected m the mirror, with the cracked black porcelain latch handle and the iron bolt which 1 had shot into its place. 1 was anything but sleepy; the heat and the pest of midges and beetles which the light attracted m through the win dows would have sufficed to keep me awake even had my mind been at ease. In order to disperse the insects I finally extinguished the lamp; the moonlight m the room was so bright that 1 could al most have seen to read by it. I closed the book, however, and clasping my hands under my head 1 gave myself up to meditation. Not a sound of any kind was audible except the muffled ticking of the watch m my waistcoat pocket and the faint rustle of the pillow as I breath ed. The wliite moonlight seemed to aug ment the stillness; the whole great night and the house with it seemed silently and intently listening, and at length 1 found myself listening intently tool For what? I could not tell, but I listened nevertheless. By and by I fancied a sound came—a sound from somewhere within the house. It was a very faint sound and did not come again, but it was such as might have been caused by the light pressure of a foot m one of the passages outside. Instinctively 1 reached forth my hand and laid hold of my revolver, but I did not rise from the bed nor otherwise alter my position, 1 still lay as if asleep, with the revolver m one hand, the other beneath my head and my eyes fixed upon j the edge of the door, which was obscure ly visible m the mirror. Several minutes passed thus, and there was no return of the noise. Then I saw the handle of the door move and turn. The latch clicked slightly; the door, bolted though it was, opened as,if on oiled hinges, admitting an indistinct figure m a long robe of soft gray. So much I saw m the mirror. Then the door was closed again and the figure, advancing toward the bed, ceased to be reflected m the glass. It advanced close to the bed, and paused there a moment; , I could hear its deep, regular breathing. All this time 1 had not moved, but lay with; my back turned, feigning slumber. Presently the figure passed around the foot of the bed, and came up the other side. The full white light of the moon fell upon it. It waa Kate, as I had known it was from the first moment she entered the room. She was clad m a dressing gown of soft flowing material, which was fastened at the throat and trailed on the ground. It had wide sleeves, one of which fell back from the bare, smooth arm and hand that carried a lamp. The lamp was not lighted. Her black hair hung down on her shoulders, and on each side of her pal<? face. Her eyes were wide open, but fixed and vacant. Her breathing was long and measured, as of one sound asleep. (TO BE CONTINUED.) Parents and guardians, girls and boys, You've heard iv church the woeful noise Of coughs and sniffs, m winter time, Which spoil the service so sublime ?
