THE STORY-TELLER.

A MIDNIGHT VISITOE. “ Just a knob or two more, for it’s cold as winter to-night ; then one game at chess, and off to bed. By the way, did you send the girl 1” “Half an hour ago,” said my wife. “It is past eleven.” “ Humph ! Time goes so when one is reading,” I said ; and then, setting out the men, we prepared for our battle, with the understanding -that, as it was late, the moves were to be made quickly and without consideration.- And, by the way, these are the games in which I generally come off victor, my very near relative being gifted with a long head, in whose depths she concocts abominable schemes, full of checks and discoveries, fatal to the existence of my poor queen, against whose reign she is disloyal as any Fenian. The little time-piece had just struck its single alarm note to say that it was mid night, and I had given check with a bishop in a two-edged way, that ensured the loss of my adversary’s knight, when she suddenly sat very upright in her chair, and held up her finger. “ Someone crying,” I said, thinking of kicked-off clothes and shivering little limbs somewhere in the upper regions. “ No,” she whispered—“ a step on the gravel. ” “ Nonsense !” I said, for I hate people of nervous temperament to rouse me out of my easy-chair at night, to go shivering down the garden to try if the front gate is locked, and peep behind the laurels for concealed burglars ; or to shake me out of a pleasant dream to get up and dress and go down-stairs to try all the doors, or open the window and shout, “I see you there,” the Same as I did one night, when it whs as black as Erebus, and a gruff voice from the road answered, “ Then you must have blessed good eyesight, sir and the ever-widening rays of a police man’s bull’s-eye were cast in my face. I was sick of being bothered with imaginary noises, for ours was not the house burglars would attack. Our whole stock of plate, in its neat, baize-lined basket, only cost fifty pounds—a wedding present,—and I suppose, if brought to the melting-pot, would not be worth more than half; while, as to other valuables, we had each a watch and chain. To be sure, my wife had what she called her treasures up stairs—seven of them, I think, there were ; but who, in the name of all that’s sensible, would in these days of no kid napping commit a burglary to steal child ren 1 Certainly mine were safe, for they would have proved as noisy booty as pigs of a marketable size. So, under the cir cumstances, I very naturally and testily exclaimed, “ Nonsense !” “But, my dear,” said my wife, “ did you not yourself find a suspicious-looking individual lurking about the place early the other morning 1” “Very true, my dear,” I answered. “But he said he was a cousin of our Jane, John Thompson by name ; and, though we don’t allow followers, you know girls will have sweethearts lurking about at times. Didn’t Jane herself half confess it when you asked her about it V’ “ There it is again,” exclaimed my wife earnestly, “ I’m sure of it. Depend upon it, it’s that fellow come back again and as she spoke I certainly did hear what sounded like the gritting of a foot upon the gravel walk, “There now,” she ex claimed, in a triumphant whisper, “what’s that 1”

“ Jane has not locked the gate, and it’s the policeman.” “ But I locked it myself to-night, dear. Someone has climbed over, I’m sure.” “ Check I” said I.

“ But pray, dear ” “ Don’t you see V’ I said testily, “check to my queen and then I turned sharply round, fur there was a light tap upon the window, as if from someone’s nail, and, on drawing aside the curtains and moving the blind, I could just detect a man’s face close to the glass. “ Hullo !” I exclaimed loudly.

“ Hush !” said a voice. “ Can I speak to you a minute 1 Please open the win dow.”

Now, that was all very well, and very civilly spoken, but, under the circum stances, I did not feel disposed to do any thing of the kind, and, letting fall the blind, I stood hesitating as to what would be best. If I took up the poker, I felt I should be a match for any one man if he had evil intentions ; but then there might be two or three ; but “Pooh—nonsense !” I exclaimed the next moment ; “ some one is ill, or something of that kind. Be sides,” I said, “one thing is very certain —it’s not John Thompson.” “ Where are you going, Edward V’ said my wife anxiously, as I moved towards the door.

“ Upstairs, to hold a parley,” I replied. “But you are never going to leave me here by myself 1 ?” “Not unless you wish it, my dear. Come along with me.” So, hand in hand, we went up to the little staircase window over the front door, and, throwing it up, I looked out to just distinguish a figure by the drawing-room window.

“Now then,” I said, “what’s the matter ?”

“Hush, pray,” whispered a voice that was quite strange to me; and there was again the grating upon the gravel, as the figure came beneath where I was.

“ Are you a Christian 1” whispered the voice.

Well, that was rather a poser. Igo to the church in the morning and to church in the afternoon, pay my rates regularly, and never put less than sixpence in the plate on collection days ; so, under the circumstances, I thought I was, and said so.

“ Then pray help a fellow-creature in distress, sir. Give me your help.” [to be continued.]
