OUR SHORT STORY THE HOUSE OF FEAR. PART I. was an ideal one for telling stories e a flaming hearth, the -house was rich in e Mocciationg, and the company was equally to the gay and the grave. *« in March, the second was the e\t or ffiy fnend Philip Letterby, and the group of guests lie annually t l'tains in observance of a hospitable custom t hi8 family has never permitted to lapse, to ? C°QTersajfcion of eueii a circle will gravitate experiences, and this one was no J ^tloa" Manv such had been related at when Abner Lett-erby, Philip's addressed us. He had been sitting ^re' ^oughfully leaning forward j. -hickory staff. If close approach to the °f 'tihe unknown should yield1 foreknow- i'ts strange ilaws, he could have spoken "1 abandant authority. Willy tj never told any of you," he paid, IjQ y old Budthorne place is called 'The Pear.' As the grandson -of the late lived in it is here to-night, this is a V^tirn* -to telil it." *6^ °u oblige me very much by doing »o," XVi young man referred to. I accidentally -found him at the I bnj^ IQq that afternoon, and had persuaded one of liis guests. He was tsofjj the benefit of hu> health, and had ° neigihbourhood to visit the original J y family. He vrjui about twenty- •■fe. oale and thin, but atill holdintr fast a sustaining residue o'f his normal robust- ness and strength of manhood. "The house has been without a tenant for almost forty years," the old man began in a quavering voice that added much to the weird gravity of his narrative. "Martin Budthorne, your grandfather; sold1 k 'to the father of Arm- strong, the present owner, when the awful thing I am going tell- of happened, and .wnit west. He advis-ed Armstrong to build a new house at the other end of the farm and never to go into the old one. It was a matter of great wonder at the time, but the fact that no one can now live in it 'haa naturally become a matter of course. "Martin had a brother J-ohn, the worst boy to rove about I ever saw. He couldn't be con- tented anywhere very long, and when their father died 'he soon turned his share of the estate into money and went gadding about the world1. One night he came home to Martin's house unexpectedly. Everybody saw that he was on his Jast legs. He was in bed when I went over to see him, and I made up my mind he hadn't a week to live. He wanted to talk that night I went over, and he told us many stories of his travels. He was one of those chaps that gather up all sorts otf odd things, and he told Martin that several 'boxes of them would come in a few days. "The last city he had spent much time in., he said, was Bagdad, and he had made it his head- autixten while looking around over the scenes told about in the 'Arabian Nights.' That is a specimen of the crazy notions he was always taking. Jfe told us he had bought from an Arab there the finest curiosity he 'had ever seen. It wa6 a round ball made entirely of small pieces of bone cut from human skulls. The skuJJs were of men and women who had died awful; deaths. Some of them were criminals that had been executed by being beheaded or tortured, some had been murdered, some killed in earthquakes, storms, andi all sorts of terrible accidents. The Arab had told him there was some spell on it, but John deolared he didn't ,put any faith in that. He advised Martin to keep it, as it might be valuable as a curi'osity. "John died the next night. About ten days afterwards the boxes came, and Martin sent for me to come over and help him unpack them, for we had tried to fancy what sort of trinkets the boy had wasted his money on. We soon saw that our wildest fancies fell short. Those boxe3 held the most useltes things that good dollars could be squandered for. I won't try to describe them, but will hurry on to the bone ball we were most anxious to find, and that w.1 did come across at last. I etooped to lift it out, and, supposing a ball of bone would be light, I did -not use much strength, but I was astonished to find that I did not evon budge it, and that it required a good muscle to get it out. I had never been ae much surprised in my life. It was only about six inches in diameter, but it would tiare outweighed a solid ball of lead of its size. I warned Martin of this as I handled! it to him, but he was not prepued for such an extraordinary weight, and almost let it fall. "He .pot it on thetatble and rolled it afbout as we examined it. Aa John had s-aid, it was made of emalll squares of bone, cemented to- I gether with wonderful skill, and polished unti'l you could almost see yourself in i4. Martin at last took hie hand from it, and then another extraordinary thing happened. Instead of lying still, it rolled around of its own accord until a black circle came uppermost. We put it back attain and again, with the circle down, and eveiy time it righted itself. This circle seemed to be the mark of a lid, but we could seemed to be the mark of a lid, but we could not see any way to open it. Some words were burned into the bone beside this circle, but we saw that it would take better scholars than we were to read them. As you may all imagine, we got very much interested in this brll, but kept all we had learned about it from everyone; in fact, no one knew s'uch a thing had come. A few days after it came Martin copied the words on the lid and sent them to a friend of his who was a professor of languages in a New England college, asking him to translate them. He replied in due time that the words were Arabic and that they meant in English 'A brave scion of the third generation.' What this could mean we hadn't the slightest jdea, of course, but supposed: it referred to some Oriental superstition. "The things that most mystified us about, the ball, though, was the remarkable weight, and we decided one evening that, as it was realty useless, we would break it open and see what did make it so heavy. This was an unlucky decision, and I know, Mr. Budthorne, that your grandfather worried over it to the day of his death. Martin stood on one side of the table holding the ball tight in his hands, andl I, standing on the other side, tried1 to force the edge of a cold chisel under the lid so as to pry it off. We never knew how it happened, whether Martin voucftwd a secret spring with his hands or I did >it)h the chisel, but, at any rate, the tid sv.^len»,7 flew open and hung back on an insrde hinge. We bent forward quickly and looked in to r see what it held, and immediately straightened up and looked at each other eimpily speechless, for the ball had nothing in at all. It was m empty as ever anything could be. Martin put his hands around it and exerted' the force he had usually done in lifting it, and it rose up with a jerk. 'This is a devil's own contrivance, Abner,' he said'. 'Take it!' "r did so, and dropped the diabolical thing on the table. It had! come down to a natural weight. Where its extraordinary heft had gone we could not tell. Certainly nothing had fallen from it. I began to feel a queer sensa- tion of fright coming over me, and I looked at Martin. His face was getting pale, and he etared at me wiiklly, as he whispered 'What is in this room, Abner?' Before I could answer Martin's hound, that had been sleeping beside the stove, sprang up with a howl, dashed for the door, and began whining to get out. A cat that had been con- tentedly rubbing against, our legs a few moments before leaped upon the window-sill, where, with ner back arched and her fur bristled, she scratched frantically at the panes. "A moment Hater Mrs. Budthorne ran in screaming, followed a few seconds after by a kitchen-maid and one of the hired men, still carrying a lantern, as he had just oome in from the barn. Their lips were stiff with fear, but they made us understand that they had become suddenly frightened without seeing anything to cause it. Not one of us could even try to quiet the others. We could scarcely keep from running out of the house. I had never been afraid before without any reason for it. The house was exactly as it had been. If we had seen anything like a ghost, it would have been to unnatural, but that f selling of baiotc terribly afraid of something, without knowing what it was, was awful. "We stood still awhile, hoping it would pass away, but when we began to feeil that the thing we were afraid of was death in some frightful shape, we could not stand it any longer, and we ran through the hall and out upon the porch, the two women screaming, and the dog and cat snapping, snarling, and howling. 'The fear left us the moment we got out on the porch, and we men felt foolish enough, I can telii you. We were not not long deciding that Mrs. Budthorne had had nightmare, and her screaming had scared us all. Martin and accordingly concluded to go in again. We did so, lav.ng the man with the women; but we got no /rther than the door opening into the room where the devilish ball etilll lay upon the table. I felt as I was being led out to be tortured to death Martin felt the same, and we ran out again as if we were flying for our lives, and I believe to this day we were. No one couild stay under the influence of that spell for an hour without losing his mind or his life. It seems ridiculous to credit such a thing now- adays, and hard to believe that anyone would :in up to a fear that has no visible cause, but there the old house stands vacant, and you may think me a coward, but I would not go allone into it and stay for ten minutes for a deed of all the iland that can be seen from its roof. "Martin and all his lolks stayed here at my house until they went West. He had been considering that move before this thing hap- pened and that decided him. It was soon found that the spelil is not on the house in the day- time, so we got the things out without difficulty. I can tell you, though, it was a a big relief when we looked up the place and left it to itself." "What bocome of the baiJl?" young Bud- thorne asked. "Martin wanted to break it to pieces, but I told him that enough had happened from merely opening the lid, without risking something worse. So we buried it in the cellar of the house, and I suppose it is there yet, unless it has vanished, as I could easily believe." "Could you tell me the exact place?" the young man as-ked further. "Do you wish to get it?" Abner inquired, earnestly. "Yes, I should like to have it. I suppose I have inherited my grand uncle's fondness for odd things, and I think tliis Arabian sphere would be quite an addition to my collection." "I advise you to have nothing to do with it," Abner said; "but if you wish to see it, you can easily find it. Martin dug a hole for it in the front cellar. We were afraid that common earth would not hold it down, so we put a heavy stone slab over it." Budthorne said no more, but the old man pursued the inquiry "Willi you go to the cellar for it?" "ies, and take it home with me. Who has the key of the house?" "Armstrong, the present owner. I don't think we will object to your having it." This concluded the story telling, and we separaoted for the r.ight. I was powerfully impressed by the old man's narrative, and next morning I easily obtained Budthome's consent to accompany him to get the bone ball. We reached Armstrong's place about ten o'clock and found him in his front yard. Budtliorne presented a note of introduction from Philip, and asked for the key, at the same time stating his purpose. The farmer did not object, but 1 advised us not to meddle with the matter. "I am inclined to bttieTe it is til imagina- tion," said the voung man. "This old skull bone ball could not harm anyone, at any rate, and I want it as a curiosity." "Don't deceive yourself," Armstrong differed earnestly. "I tried to spend a night there once to decide the same doubt. I stayed just five minutes, and, no doubt, was fully satisfied. I have never tried it again. It may be imagina- tion, but something horrible is in the old place to start it." We were not turned from our purpose and he gave us the key. We followed the carriage drive along the creek. The "House of Fear" was in full view all the way, standing on a hill in cold relief against the leaden March gkv that shed rain in occasional showers. We left the road and ascended the hiH by a lane, and arrived in front of the house. It stood back some distance from the lane, in spacious grounds, and the whole was in such a condition as long neglect would naturally lieave it. It was n festering sore on the fair face of the landscape. Many palings had- dropped from the frotH fence and reminaeü me gruesomely of 'toel.h massing from a skull. The ga.te would not move on the rusted hinges, and we broke it down. The footpath to the porch was lost under the many deposits of fallen weeds and grass and the rank growth vet standing. The house, being of stone, had resisted deN-r. but the years had gnawed the woodwork as worms consume the flesh and leave the bone.

=.=- r THE IRISH PIG WAR. T* is that even more serious cons#« quenees ihan have arisen as yet will follow from the hostility now existing between th* from the hostility now existing between th- I baoon manufactuierd and the pig buyers through- out the South of Ireland. In Water ford several of the buyers have been returned for tri/vl tr I the assizes for fierce assaults on the merchants. The members of the trade in Limerick have passed resolutions which show that the sptfit of opposition to the merchants which exists in. Waterford is rapidly spreading. The potnt of dispute its the right of merchants or ourers to bav direct from the farmer. For years the system has been to employ the middleman, a p;g buyer, who attends fairs and brings back supplies to the sellers. -?-?- .?.-

GENIUS AND BILLIARDS. "Lord Chief Justice Russell came to see me play at Carlsibad every match I entered in. and was deeply interested in the ganne." says Frank Ives, the billiard player. "He loves it through and through, and, for a man who has as Jittle time-as he for play, he is a pretty good player." "Nicol ni, the once-famous tenor, and hu-liaiid of the peerless Patti, is a great lover of the game," added Mr. Ives. "He has four tables, two English and two American, at his and hit fair wife's castle, Craig-y-Nos, in Wales. I have played with him many a time, and his enthusiasm never wanes." -?-
