??-- .?- OUR SHORT ST0 R Y I THE HOUSE OF FEAR. PART I. i a« nithi was an ideal one for telling stories F fore a flaming hearth, the house was rioh in 4-tirne associations, and the company was ^Poneive equally to the gay and the grave. "'1\09 firsi was in March, the second was the 4.Mtj of my friend Philip Lefcterby, and the wea the group of guests he annually *^rtams in observance of a hospitable custom that -his family hao never permitted to lapse. "'1116 oonversa/fcion of such a circle will gravitate to eupernatural experiences, and this one was no **°«(ption. Many such had been related at when Abner Letterby, Philip's »i„ r' addressed u«. He had been sitting the fire, thou^hfullr leaning forward his hickory stafE. If close approach to the of itihe unknown should yield' foreknow- of its strange Slaws, !he oould have spoken abundant authority. I have never told any of you," he said, *'IIY the old Budthome place is called 'Tht °Use of Fear.' As the grandson of the late who lived in it is here to-night, this is a it"*d time ito telil it." wi'll oblige me very much, by doing «o," ^^°nded the young man referred to. hilip had accidentally found him at the inn that afternoon, and 'had persuaded become of his guests. He was 0 for the benefit of hie health, and had z: 0 to the neigihbourhood to visit the original ^,n«8toiul of his family. He was about wemty- "e Y-n. of age, pale and thin, but etill hstldiag 1 fast a sustaining residue o'f ihis normal robust- I ness and strength of manhood. "The house has be- without a tenant for almost forty years," the old man began in a quavering voi'ce that added much to the weird gravity of his narrative. "Martin BudthoTne, your grandfather, sold it to the father of Arm- strong, the present owner, when the awful thing I am going tell of happened, and WtlJt. west. He advised Armstrong to build a mew house at the oilier end of the farm and nevSr to go mto the old one. It was a matter of great wonder at the time, but the fact that no one can now live in it has naturally become a matter of course. "Martin had a brother John, the woret boy to rove about I ever saw. He couldn't be con- tented anywhere very long, and when their father died Tie soon turned his share of the estate into money and went padding about the world. One-night he came home to Martin's house unexpectedly. Everybody saw that he was on his ilast legs. He was in bed when I went over to see him, and 1 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 ohaps that gather up all sorts of odd things, and he told Martin that several boxes of them would come in 41. few days. "The last city he had spent much time in, he said, was Bagdad, and he had made it his head- qwtore while looking around oret the scenes told! about in the 'Arabian Nights.' That is a specimen of the crazy notions he was always taking. He told us he had bought from an Arab there the finest curiosity he had ever seen. It was a round ball made entirely of email pieces of bone cut from human skulls. The skulls were of men and women who had died awful] dleaths. Some of them -were crimina.ls that had been executed by being beheaded or tortured, some had been murdered, some kil'Ied in earthquakes, storms, and all torts of terrible accidents. The Arab had told him there was some spell on it, but John declared he didn't put any faith in that. He advised Martin ,to keep it, as it mig-ht be valuable as a curiosity. "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 sa.w that our wildest fancies fell short. Those boxes held the moet useless 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 we did come across at last. I stooped 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 even 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 have outweighed a solid ball of lead of its size. I warned Martin of this as I handed! it to him, but he was not prepared for such an extraordinary weight, and almost let it fall. "He put ,t on the tatble and rolled it about as we examined it. As John had said, it was made of smaill squares of bone, cemented to- gether with wonderful skill, and polished unti'l you could Almost eee yourself ig ii. Y-win at last took his 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 again and again, with the circle down, and eVfery time it righted itself. This circle 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 tljan we were to read them. As you may all imagine, we got very much interested in this ball, but kept a!!l we. had learned about it from everyone; in fact, no one knew such 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 mea-n we hadn't I the slightest idea, of course, but supposed it referred ito some Oriental superstition. "The thine that most mystified ue about the ball, though, was the remarkable weight, and we decided one evening that, ns it was really 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, and I, standing on the other side, tried 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 touched a secret spring with his hands or I did with the chisel, but, at any rate, the lid suddenly new open and hung back on an inside hinge. "We bent forward quickly and looked in to see what it held, and immediately straightened up and looked at each other simply speechless, for the ball had nothing in at all. It was as empty as ever anything could be. Martin put hi's hands around it end 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,' f he said. 'Take it!' "I did; no, 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 wae getting pale, and he etared at me wridly, as he whispered: What is in this room, Abner?' Before I could answer Martin's hound, that had been sleeping beside the etove, 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 iier back arched and her fur bristled, she scratched frantically at the panes. "A moment later Mrs. Budthorne ran in screaming, followed a few seconds after by a kitehen-maid and! one of the hired men, still carrying a lantern, as he had just come 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 ?6 cause it. Not one of us could even try to quiet the others. We could scarcely keep from Tunning 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 Hen anything like a ghost, it would have been so unnatural, but that feeding of being terribly I afraid of something, without knowing what it was, was awful. "We stood still awhile, hoping it would pass away, bub when we beg'an 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 scrwpming, and the dbg and cat snapping, snarling, and howling. 'The fear left us the moment we got out on the porch, and we men fflt foolish enough, I can telil you. We were not not long deciding that Mrs. Budthorne had had nightmare, and her screaming had scared us all. Martin and I accordingly concluded to go in agaiti. We did so, laving the man with the women; but we got no further than the door opening into the room where the devilish ball still 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 t-his day we were. No one couUd stay under the influence of that spell for an hour without losing his mind or his life. It seems ridiculous to eredit such a thing now- adays, and hard to believe that anyone would five up to a fear that has no visible cause, but there the old bouse st&nd< vacant, and you may think moa a coward, but I would not go aHone into it and stay for ten minuter for a deed of all the land that can be seen from its roof. "Martin and all his iolks stayed here at my house until they wertt West. He had been considering that move before this thing hap- pened and that decided him. It was soon found that the epelll is mot on the house in the day- time, so we got the things out without difficulty. I ean tell you, though, it was a » big relief when we looked up the place and left it to iteelf." "What become of the ban! young Bud- thorne asked. "Martin wanted to break it to pieees, 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." "Coiiiid you tell me the exact place?" the young man aa-ed, further. "Do you wish to get it?" Abner inquired, earnestly. '■'Yes, I ehovild like to have it. I suppose I have inherited my grand uncle's fondness for odd thingws, and I think this 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 easdy 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: "Wild you go to the cellar for it?" ")L es, and take it home with me. Who has the key of the house?" "Armstrong, the present owner. I don't think we will dbjeot to your having it." This concluded the story telling, and we separaoted for the night. 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. Budthorne 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 advised us not to meddle with the matter. "I am inclined to believe it ig 4n im&gina- tion," said the -roung man. "This old skull bone ball could not harm anyone-, at any rate, and I want it as a curiosity." "Don't deoeive yourself," Armstrong differed earnestly. "I tried to apma a night there one* to decide the same doubt. I stayed just five mimutes, and, no doubt, was fully satisfied. I have never tried it again. It may be imagina- tion, but something horrible is ia the old place to start it." We were not turned from eur purpose and he gave us the key. We followed the carriage drive along the creek. The "House of Fear' Ii was iniuOl view all the way, standing on a hill in coid relief against the leaden March sky that ghed rain in occasional showers. We left the road and ascended the hill by a lane, and arrived in front of the houee. It eteod hack some distant from the lane, in spacious grounds, end the whole was in such a condition as long neglect would naturally Seave it. It was a festering eore on the fair face of the landscape. Many palings had dropped from the front fence and reminded me gruesomely of teeth ni'.ssing from a skull. The gate would not move on the runted 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 yet standing. The house, beinc of stone, had resisted decay, but the years had gnawed the woodwork as worms consume the flesh and leave the bone.

? THE IRISH PIG WAR. lh is expected that even more serious conse- quences than have arisen as yet will follow from the hostility now existing between the bacon manufacturers and the pig buyers through- out the South of Ireland. In Waberford several of the buyers haTe been returned for trial to the assizes for fierce assaults on the merchante. The members of the trade in Limerick have passed resolutions which show that the spirit of opposition to the merchants which exists in Waterford is rapidly spreading. The point of dispute is the right of merchants or curers to buy direct from the farmer. For years the system has been to employ the middleman, a pig buyer, who attends fairs and brings back supplies to the sellers.

GZNIUS AND BILLIARDS. "Lord Chief Justice Russell came to see me play at Carleibad every match I entered in, and wu deeply interested in the gaime," says Frank Ives, the billiard player. "He loves it through and through, and, for a man who has as ifttle time as he for play, be is a pretty good player." "Nicol.M, the onee-faimous tenor, and husband of the peerless Patti, ;8 a great lover of the game." added Mr. Ivet. "He has four tables, two English and two American, at his and hit fair wife's castle, Oraig-y-Nos, in Wale?. I have played with him many a time, and hit enthusiasm never wanes."

INJURED WHILE HUNTING. A painful incident in the hunting-field is re- ported from Surrey. Mrs. Hedley Peek, of Outwood, whilst riding in .their opening meet with the Burstow Foxhounds, in pass- ing through a gap endeavoured to avoid he bough of a tree which was hanging rather low, and in so doine lost her balance and fell over the off-side of the horse. Either throngh her foot being retained in the stirrup or her riding habit catching in the saddle, the unfortunate lady was dragged some di«- tanoe across two fields. Her l.<vul oame in con- tact several times with the horse's hoofs, and the suffered severe injuries.
