l Our Short Story. I I THE HAUNTED HOUSE. ¡ I Some few years ago in the county of --shire there stood, not far from the princi- pal town, a very large house, which could not he called a farm. as it at first might appear nor yet a hall, yet it was of considerable .size, and had beautiful grounds connected with it. This house stood, as most gentlemen's houses I In the country do. on a hill. round ihc bottom of which ran dark woods ou three sides and a lake on the other. The only driva up to this house was across the lake. and, as there is at' tie time I write of no one about, WA will take i advantage and step in just to have a look at j it. We shall have. like most, persons w':o do the same thing, to climb through the window, but before we do so we will just have a look but before we do so we will just have a look at the back of it. Here is the kitchea with iwo broken windows; neit, the pantry j with—country gtvle-nj vriiul-iW at all, but a bit of perforated xinc, hanging loose, protected j by three iron bar:, and thor. tliure J are three cellars, one wilh no graw. The next thing we notice is the. door through which we want to gù, ar.d, although it looks half eaten away with ov.e j thing and another, yet it will uot givs way to ail the strength we possess, but still holds firm, like hte late owner did to hi-; ;uoii:>y. j We will now stop MI to the house at:d see v.hr.t j sort it itt intide. The front oi l>oma would 1 make you think you were going to see some lo.g, old-fashioned rooms with oak panelling all round, fire-place that would allow of an ox: to be roasted easily, and two or three secret passages; but the back would make you think you were going in a place where the old man must have kept his turnips till they were rotten. But it is not so, for once inside we see a long, low kitchen, with a firo place that would I roast a sheep, and, as we pass from there to the dining and drawing rooms, to the library, and rooms that had evidently been ladies' rooms, we are astonished at the spacious hall with its elaborately tiled floor and its hand- somely painted walls. But when we leave and go upstairs our breath is almost taken away with the splendid suite of rooms that we see. and we come to the conclusion that it must I have belonged io a man of considerable wealth. Now, as I said before, the owner did not like parting with mousy. Hut at last ho had to. for ho was to be married, and the bride had told him sho would not enter the house as his wife until ho had had it thoroughly cleaned and paint*/], m.d promised to gire up his m'.wrly ways. Moro of this piir I. shall not say; enough t;) hiotv that they both died of a dkcas'i prevalent through the country, and, having no near, relatives, he left all his ir.onoy and property to his oaly broMier'a son. This brother had gone away to .Australia to try and lriake Lis fortune, an 1 had to a certain extent vtccee led when he was struck down with fever « nd diffd. leaving an only to cheer his widow in her solitary houvs. But she. dill not ltmg surrive him. and tl»e son was cast alone on '.he world, and was—though unknown to him- self— heir to an. estate that -voir! i rmg him ic no it Si tl.i,.n £ 12,000 per aiuiurn. To make a long story short, he was found by the de- ceased s solicitor and apprised of his good fortune, and was told he must at once come and take possession of the property. So our herr-by name James Walton-came across the water to England, which country, I may say, he had never before set foot in, having all his life been attlie mines, together with a friend who had done him a good turn at some time or other, and who was to live with him. When James was shown the house he was amazed at the size and splendour, and said he would at once furnish it, So he the following day ordered the furniture, in which he showed very good taste, and which, by the way, would not have disgraced a Royal castle. This was also to be sent into the house the following day. Now our hero and his friend had decided to tdeep in the house as soon as they had got it furnished, and that is the reason why we find them together in this large house without any servants or any other company than the rats and mice. But I have omitted to say that nearly all the doors had thick clear glass panel- -for what reason, I cannot say-but I sup- pose it must have been one of the old gentle- man's strange whims. But the two friends were not too brave and both felt as though they would rather not sleep there that night but on the following, so they stayed at the hotel where they were very comfortable. Perhaps that was the reason why they did not wish to go and take instant possession of their new home, but had they done so they would have saved them- selves a great deal of uneasiness of mind, as the following day, while sitiiug leading the papers, a young man came up to James and asked "Are you not the owner of the large house that stands on the hill there?" "Yes," repLed Junes, "but »hi'i of tvat," he asked, seeing that the young man had some- thing to say. "Well," replied the young man, "will you not want a groom?" "Yes. Do you happen to be a groom?" "Yes. air, and I wished to offer my services to you. though I cannot bring a character, for the place I was in before my master was such a brute I ran away from it." "What was your master's name? But per- haps you would prefer hot to tell me that p" "Yes, sir; I would rather not mention his name because he does not live far from here." '^Well, then, are you not afraid that your late master will find out where you are ?" "No," replied the young man, "for the house of which you are now owner is said to be haunted." Haunted! haunted, did you say?" exclaimed James, jumping up off his chair "Yes. sir." "In what way?" "They hear dreadful noises during the night, and cannot make out what they are, or from where they come." "Has anything ever been seen there?" "No, sir; no one dare to be in at night, But. sir, you are surel ynot afraid of a haunted house ?" "Oh, no. we are not afraid, though we do not altogether relish the idea of sleeping with-for anything we know--the devil." "Well. sir, unless you have done something to be afraid of. I should say he would not take or harm you." "i should hope not. However, we are going to sleep there to-night." "Can 1 consider myself engaged then," asked -the young man ? "Yes. you may. Give me your address, and when the horses are to arrive I will write you." The young man gave Jamea his a.d,'p.f: aid after touching his hat Respectfully to the two friends took his leave. Now, as my reader may guess, this did not put the young men in any too happy a mood, and from their faces one might think they had already seen not only one but a dozen ghosts. Indeed, they had seen one of their own con- juring up more than once before they went home at night. and they fully expected when they opened the front door to see two or three advance to meet them, but they were agreeably surprised to see nothing of the sort. Now the time of which I write was the latter end of March, and-it had been an exceptionally warm month and was going out "like a lion" instead of in a nice mild way as it ou-ht. Our friends were sitting together in the library, where they thought that they would be safe from any intrusion. The wind began to rise towards midnight, and our hero had, to freshen the room a bit. opened the French windows that looked on to the lawn. As they sat together round a good fire engrossed in their own thoughts, they had not noticed the wind rising, and had, I verily believe, forgotten all about the window being open. and the door, which they had left open so that they could make an easy exit were it re- quired- when they were awakened from their reverie just as the clock was striking twelve by a most unearthly shriek up the chimney, together with a crash, and the next moment the gas in the room was extinguished and the door went to with a quiet click. If they could, T verily believe, they would have liked to have sunk through the floor, but that pleasure was denied them. for the floor stood as firm as ever one could. They were brought to their senses by the smell of gas escaping from three burners. However, they a £ last summoned up courage to light one of them and to turn the other? off, and search round the room for any sign that might lend a clue to the ghost, as they believed it to be. Finding nothing they again seated themselves, and after a short time hearing nothing more they fastened the window and went up to bed. Now, if you have ever read a thrilling ghost tale, much more been-what they really thought they had—in the presence of one, you know how hard it is to get to sleep afterwards, and our two friends were no exception to the rule. It was a long time before they could get to sleep, but it did not seem long before James again awoke with a strange feeling growing over him, for he had—he could be certain- heard a groan in the room. and in turning about in bed he awoke his companion. After a little consultation they resolved to lock round the room. but there was nothing that could lead them to any explanation, so they again got into bed. It was not long before Will, .James's companion, was again fast asleep, but James himself could not so easily throw aside his care, and it was not long before he again heard that dreadful'groan, which made him sit bolt upright in bed, for it seemed to be on his right hand side. But when again the strange sound came across his ear it struck him that it was more like a snore than a groan, so he bent himself a bit forward to where Will was lying, and. yes, it was he who was—as he always did—"driving the pigs" cruelly, so our hero sank down in bed again and gave way to a quiet chuckle, which he. however, seen dropped for it seemed to be thrown back t, I him. He was not long after this before he got to sleep, and they were not again that night disturbed. Next morning when they were breakfasting the landlord came and asked them if they had heard any strau^e noises in the house. They answered "Oh. yes, we were disturbed all the night through." "Indeed," exclaimed the landlord, "I had heard it was haunted, but never believed it. so I thought I would ask you. What kind of noises did you hear," "Oh," they sa;d. "just as the clock was striking twelve all the gas lights went out, there 1 were a crash and a shriek, the doors banged to. r and then all remained as still as the grave." "Were you not frightened?" asked the landlord. "Frightened? -No, indeed." Fear was a word scratched out of their dictionary. They did not know what it meant. "And what did you do after that asked the landlord. "Do ? Why we looked round the room and J tried to find out what it was," replied James. "But we were unable to see anytamg whatever," said Will. "What good nerves you must have, and how brave you are. I should have thought you would never sleep there again." "What! not sleep there again. We shall I sleep there and sift this matter to the bottom. -Needless to say, the landlord told the news to everyone who came into the hotel, and it was soon noised about that our heroes had hoc a very bad night at the big house, but that tJ" ey were always going to sleep there and find out what it was caused the noises. So. as you I may guess, our friends were the heroes of the day, and everybody's finger was pointed at them as they walked about the town with the news that they had slept all night -at the haunted house and had been visited by several spirits, and could not find any explanation about the noises or anything, but that they were going to sleep there always and find out what it was. So our heroes went again to sleep at the house, though very reluctantly, and pr?- pared themselves for another night's distur- bance. But thev were not that night disturbed, but slept the sleep of the just; and were sorry, yet not sorry. Tliey were not sorry because they did not want disturbing, and they were sorry because they had nothing to teli the landlord. But they were to have some news the following morning for him which they did not expect, and which they did not like very m'!ch either. It was in this way When they went to the house to sleep the following night they retired early because they were tired with a long waik they had taken. But they were not to'sleep much tha.t night, for scarcely had they got to sleep when they were awakened by the most un- earthly yells and noises they had ever heard—ten thousand times worse than the Australian native Bunv yup. What could it t Australian native Bunv yup. What could it be? It made their blood run old. It was I as if all the demons in holl had broken lor se. Our friends had started bolt upright in bed f when the noise subsided a bit, and thev deter- mined to try and find out what it was. So t. ev accordingly took a light, went downstairs—the noise was all this while going 0n, reader—went to the kitchens, when, it Eeeined to come, and they found that all the noise came from out of the pantry. Our hero, who was first, when lie got within sight of the pantry almost fell senseless with what he saw. There, in the pantry, standing looking straight at him, was his own ghost, with eyes ready to boli from its head, and all around his feet were about twenty- glaring, green eyes. and two more suddenly appeared at the pantry window, when the most hissing noise he ever heard sounded through the house, together with the knocking about of one of the blackest tails he ever saw. But when. as he'was raising his hand to his head io support, his bursting temples, he saw the hand of his ghost rise and point straight at him, he ex- claimed. "Oh, my God, my ghost, and ¡¡:nk insensible on the floor." When consciousness returned it was daylight, and he was sitting in his chair supported by his friend. I have cow not much mora to sav, only to give you the explana- tion. which was very s«>on aher g'nt from a man who said he thought he could ex- plain it. First, he asked if James would miud I putting on the night shirt he wore that night, and if he would mind going down to the pantrv with him. James did as rcouec-t^d, and they all three went down to the pantry, where the door, as 1 said before, wr.s of thick giass. Yes, there was James's ghost, but this time without the glaring eyeballs. "But," said our hero, "what about all the eyes around the feet. I am ccrtain, 1 saw ?" "Yes," replied trie man, "I daresay you did see some scores of eyes, for this is a regular rendezvous for cats, ami the hissing you heard was by a dog appearing at the window, for I had seen it all a few weeks before you came." "But what about the gas going out the firs: night?" "That was caused by a sudden gust of wind which blew I through your window, put out your gas, and I the crash you heard was the falling of the chimney, which you see th^re on the lawn." Thus, you see, reader, what a few cats, giving one of their notod free concerts, and March j wind causod, though, goodness kiio-x; nuita innocently.
