TflE Mt.uriioi hi: BXSrmVi storY- 1 was a wild night in November. Tlii1- w iml raged and swept round the liguthoTtee in fitful gusts, driving the Kiuid in showers again t'i ita wall. Be low, i he Ha heaved, beathing against the i oak with an ominous roar. The fderd jeHiu blinding clouds, and not a Je aeea it the neavens SaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaW' .aaaaaSaaaaaaaaaaaaaT All was dark, and naught wrh visible nave when it ( loud of spray dsshed up in it wliilt; v. icnlli against the bending elitf'4 And tho glare of our lantern glean! fitfully on it. 1 hd just eouio down front my wntek, and waa thinking of turning r, coitgnliuhtting inyfiflf ttuit duty did not Coll me to go out on such a nigh, when, borne to me on the gale, cauie the sound of aciy something Isdwoen i ahoiit for help aud a cry of lottos. I listened. Could it be a hot'.t in need of l.elj. i, ; if, culite from land ward. I listend Mgain, hut noihing further caught my ear. I tried to pontuaUu Mat If that my imagination had deceive.! tne, and that it waa only the cry of home aea bird that I Ifttd heard, ot u more than or dinarily uneorthly wuiliug of the wind. Hut, do what I could, I could not get over tho feeling that the cry I heard was of a human being iu dlctre, The fee ling grow so stroug that, at lad, titbg a atoat fttick. and taking up a lantern, I prepared to face the gale and make u toarch round about to landward. I HeareheJ, waded ihiough the hi ml hills that lay behind us, stumbling over bushes and pin es of loose iimar, half blinded by the (hitting .aed and sleet, but could lilid llo one. I wa preparing to return ngniri after my fruitless hunt, when, as I got within a hundrisl yarda of the lighthouse, ri man gaunt, tall, wild and diihcvelled Is- yond dcHcriptiou advanced, or milo-i tottered toward IDF. He stretrhed out his armt lo me with an imploring geiturc, and, utur ing a half inarticulate cry, fell at my foot insensible. I hsii my ll tsk w ith me, and urcd aoui:; brandy down tho wretched nian'a throat, and when he wan somewhat revived, guided him with difficulty to tie- lighthouse. When the light fell upon him, f beheld one of the inost b aiful sights I have ever witneaved. The man U fore me was almost a skeleton ; th ? skiu seemed scarcely to over his high cheek bone i, his hair hung ov r his forehead iu uuketupt locks, and -the lower strt of hi t foeu w is covered by a beurd of a fortnight's growth. The few garments he had on hung iu rugs, iiud his f. et and head were bate. Id cowered hy the lire without uttering a ord, while I went to get ftssl slid .Im k lor him ; his eyes wandcrtsl ratttlJawlj n.d sua piciouuiy around, and I ball nan. I 1 had picked up some i eaped m misc. He uk" r.ttenoi,' I-, , us a HMM fttfa who has not La;U d Imm lot many hour:1, or, may for 1 . . ; nd then i at g sin into the lire ug.un will. .ait . wot i. "Well, mate," aanl I. how do you 1 I now P lie htaited, p.u .-.ed l.i . hand ou r fill forehead, ami lor a reply UinU int., a INutnioti of teats and .!. I .... d.m founded. "Come, couie, mate, tlou't Like n the wotrtt's over now ! i i.n'ic M.fe with us, and will la alrottg iu :t lew days time ; but it's been nigh t s, much for you this lime h' I taid, at length. "Ay, indeed," In; mutUred ; "I could uot have held out another nijdit in thia we.tthei. I owe you my life," he added, alter a moment's pause "I owe you luy life ;" these words he re petatod several limes very idowly, and with his gnut hollow eyes staring vacantly Ixforo him. "guc:r chap this," I thought. "The world's Issnn to hard for him, ! fancv." "Well, mate," 1 continued, iu cheerful voice, "it's full linn: we should turn in ; here's a shake-down for yon." "What, can 1 stop hero to-night P ho interrupted, in a tone of surprise. "Why, friend," said I, astonished in my turn, "I wouldn't turn a dog out of doors such a night as this, let alone a fellow-creature. Stav, and you're welcome. You'd best bida with us till you're a bit heulihy again, for it's but jioorly you look" and 1 gave a pitying glance at his emaciated faco and great, hollow sunken eyes. Ue moved uneasily on his seat. "Can I stop safely 1 I moan will any one come 1 Are you expecting any one ?" and ho eye I me keenly. "No one," said I, with a laugh. "Why, in weather like thi-, we're cut off from the mainland sometimes tor days." He nodded, and looked more satisfi ed;, and muttered few words to hihi aelf. which I didn't catch. "Queer customer," ! thought ; and taking an old mattress from beneath my lied, I gave it to him, together with one of my blankets, lo tnakn k bod with, and then turned in myself. , I didn't go to sleep at once, how ever. 1 wanted to keep an eye on my strange guest for a bit. lie lolled himself quickly in the blanket and lay down before tho fire, and in a few minutes seemed to bo fast asleep, and I was just dozing oft, when, with a cry of terror, he stinted from the ground. "Mercy ! mercy ! Don't touch mo !" he cried. Then, with shivering sigh, ho covered his face with hiy hand. "Blood, blood, blood !" he mattered. "Hello, mate !" criod 1. "Night mare, 1 guoas. Wake up !" Tho sound of my voice aroused him, and looking curiously around the room, raumhling a few broken excuses, he arranged his blanket again and settled himself to sloop, and I did tho same. When 1 woko lor my watch my enriona visitor was still wrapjied in his blanket, and seemed to he slumbering ai peacefully as might be, b. lore the dvinv embors of the fire. I looked at his face the face of a man about forty, or, may be, a year or two less ; ho was so emaciated 1 conldnt say exactly. He didn't look like a working-netn ; his featuren wore regular and refined. Well, two or three days passed over. The gale had spent itself, but the weather was ku 1 unsettled, and we were on the look-out for more storms No human being, except our waif, had come near us for mot e than a tortnigtn, and for all we knew of what had taken place iu the world during that time, Kngland might have bee uie a it public, or France a monarchy again. I had striven t make friends with our guest and to hml out what, soft of a fellow ho might 1s ; but I found that, at the end of three day. 1 knew him no Is Her than I did on the lirst, he was so cautious nnd reserved. began to think that he was teally a bit queer in his head, his VSfs were no strange. He would sit all day long by tho fire, never stirring, rutins but little, and talking leas, but mutteiing uneasily to himself at limes ; and it the door opened suddenly, or an un exscted noise was heard, starting w ith u look of terror painful to Is hold. He wasipiitc inoffensive : t( i( on the whole, I could not like irm. I dis trusted his wavciiug, warn ing eyes. Ho never looked one M i .tight in the face, and this maile me thud: he might be a lit out of his mind. Lint when I said this to mv mate, he i.book Ida head and rani, "Isi: tint for your I Tom r At last the weather M -tf!ed down, ami our visitor showed f.igns of making amove; I couldn't let him go f.,Ch in the rags I had found him in. So Will (my mate) and I set him up hi clothes of our own, such as they were. And when he hail ttirnmed his beard u ML he didn't took so hhubby. The day befoie he was to ItaWS n, an old man who brought us o-ir letters and odds and ends from th nearest town, when the weather permitted arrived. (lid Jim brought us a good budget this time, and sh usual, came iu t have a chat and smoke a pijs or two. "What news. Jim C said Mill. "News I Whv, not much ; only Alice Groove" pretty Alice we call ed her "ha. been murder.. 1 '." he re plied. "Murdered ! Ho Wl.-,, ?" we cried. "Ae, by her sweilh.-art, they do say ; though, if he were her sweet-In-art, they kept their t-eeret pretty close. I see in togeth.n , though, once or twic. A fine gentleman he was ; too line for uu honest gill's sweetheart, I was thinking, lint no one knows for aurti who did it. I'oor little Alice ' mind when sho were a little thing, how she'll come a trotting afti r my curt, and mating, 'Take me up a bit, old Jim. and I'll give you a )sy ;' and now she he's a lying there in the churchyard with a v.. mi! an iee, deep in her l om. "HcMiglitH Crofts, he were her sweet heart, a traveller for :t largo I ...nd -.n tasSatfetM. jewelry and silk, and such like, for the women folk.

Now Jim looks more fo dish than he iik I raw him taking stock of our visitor when ho thought wo were not untieing him, but I never thought any thing ol it. Tho man was so queer. I thought it natural Jim should look at him. Suddenly Jim rose, saying: "Well, I must be off to town again. Good dav, males.'' a W "Off so soon, Jim?

"No time to-d-tv, friend; I've b it, in ess and ohl Jim trotted off ami Hill after Ilio:, and 1 had to go Up and cleaU the reflectors; and it wasn't till supper-time we met together again.

Fifty ounds rwward fur tho apprehension of the murderer! I glanced across at our gmvf, v io had made a slight movement, ilia eyes wore fixed on Will's face wiih a look of terror 1 shall never forget. "The villiage of llolcomb," liogan Will, "has been the scone of a foul and terrible crime, tho victim being Alice C moves, the daughter of the parish clerk, a girl well-known through the country for her beauty, ami much respected and beloved in the villisge. The motive is unknown. "The perjiotrator is undiscov. ered, hut strong suspicion resto on one Douglas Crofts, who is supposed to have left the country, but in whoso company Alice Grooves was seen a day or two beforo her body was discovered in the pond known as Urn lilack " Here Will let the paper drop. 1 looked at our guest. His eyes, widely dilated, wero fixed on Will, and he seemed to drink in every word of tho talo. "(Jo on," ho muttcrod, i a a boat so whisper, as Will took up tho paper, "go on. They found the body in the Black Pool." "Yrs, yes," said Will, turning over the paper; "whose is it? Yes, in the lilack Pool 1 know the place with a fearful wound in the breast. The corpse presented a shocking Hclitcle. All traces o I Douglas Crolt are lost. Ho is a tall man, from dJ to a years of age, with black hair and whiskers, tmiv eves and roauiar leatures. A re- O J f ward of tT0 ia offered for his apprehen sion. Jealousy is supposed to be the motive for the crime. "The brut. !" aid I. with an o .tl "if I could lav hands on him, 'ie'd have s hard time of It." "Or if I could, either," returned Will 'To serve a Ismtiy good frirl o;" "Tho old blackguard!' f continued. "Poor little Alice"' "Well, here's some more," said Will. Our visitor looked up with a start. "Well, read on, -old chap," said I. "Ay, ay; but let's liml the place .....;.. tit t i . .i . . . K" 1 mi nrin we is-, j attest in U lligence.

"Why. mate. 'said Will, looking t him i surprise, "I didn't know aa you'd lake such an intercut in thia tfl'-dr.

Ho snatched i', and with avidity dt voiired the contents. 1 watched him a alow suspicion taking hold of me. "The isilico on his traces? How did tl.ey find out, I wondei?" said he, half to himself. "More than a fortnight ago. po: don t believe th'JV evoi will." "N.d And why not?" said I. He looked at me suapicioualy, then, forcing a ghaatly laugh, replied: "Oh, they never do find out things, now," "Hum? Well, I don't know that," I replied, filling my pipe, "Sometime a a very little thing leads to discovery. I remember, when 1 was a boy, a 'fel low being traced just hy his having a limp, and his left hoot being made a hit different to his right. In another case - one rather like this, by the way, only she was a grown woman and'a mother, not a girt she clutched so hard at the murderer's coat, that a woe bit was left of the cloth in her grasp, aud that led to the identification of tbe murderer, and "Stop your tnetnorier," interrupted tha man, angrily , then, changing his tone, ad.hsl, "I remeuiW O, yes 1 renvmW it all!'' and his face resumed i 'a usual expression of dull preocctipav thm. I gar.eil at him in astonishment.. Yea certainly our visitor was a very queer party. 1 didn't half like him - who could he Is-? I wondered how he ever came hen ? Why had be never told us unything ol hia post history? I think some such ideas struck Bill. too, for I saw him looking sternly and inpuii tnjrlr at the scared being before tis We exchanged glances, but cse r.o words to our suspicious. After srusing ih account of jawr Alice's death several times, the man laid the psier ou the table, and sat staring vacantly at the fire, with a strange quiver in his features. 1 de termined not to lose sight of him that night ; he looked so wild, so deviludi, 1 doubted he might do either us or him self a mischief. The wind lsgan L riae again; we seemed likely to have another wild night; this apieaacd to decide our guest who gave up his intention of leaving uk, and settled himself in tbe chimney comer, aa waa his won,, for the even ing. Will took up the paper, and 1 liegan t write a letter, and was soon atisorbed in ray occupation, when our viv.tor, who had fallen asleep, aroused ut by muttering: "Alice, Alice! you were false false false! You must come with me now with me, I tell you. Ah!" And he shuddered. "Blood blood! all on her white bosom! Alice, awake! ah! the pool tho kx1!" Will and I exchanged glances. The wind sighed mournfully round tbe tower, and the sea-birds fled wailing by in flocks. For the first time it fully dawned on us that the wretch wo had rescued from starvation was no other than Douglas Crofts, who, flying from the face of justice, had nearlyj met the death he so richly deserved. In awestruck silence we listened to his vague word.". All the details of his crime, passed before him, and were re-enacted by him in his dreams. What fate! Tho storm increased, and the wind t swept in a hurricane over the sand hills. In the far distance our practiced .1 .1 1 -AT ears tietecteit tne sounu oi voices. Id be coming to us at such a time? Will went to the seaward win dow, and partly opened it. No, the voices were not from seaward. The wind blew off-shot e- These were voices . j . . . 1 i coming to us if un tanawaru, across the sand-hills. We listened. At length a loud knocking was heard at the door and voices below calling on us to ojien. With a start and a scream of terror our wretched guest awoke. "Only a dream!" he muttered. But the knocking was repeated, and Will, who bad gone down to unbar the door, opened it to a posse of policemen, who demanded entrance in the Queen's name. Behind them followed old Jim the letter carrier. Upstairs they rushed and into the room where we were sitting. The inspector, a tall, powerful man, sprang to the window and wrenched it open, precipitated himself into the raging sea below. With a dull thud we heard his body strike on tbe ledge of rocks, from which it bounded ofl ami wm swallowed up by the angry deep. A great awe fell on us, and for a moment no on spoke. "Well," said the inspector, at last. "he's gone; escaped us and cheated the hangman. A more cold-blooded mur der 1 .never heard of. Now, you, Thomas Ridley, say how this man came to be here." So, forthwith,, I had to tell my tale to the inspector. I afterward, learned many particulars of Douglas Crofts and bis relations with poor AHce Grooves How she hsd loved him, and clung to him against the advice of her friends; how he ha1 betrayed her, ami (hen, in s fit of jealousy and rage, put sn end to her life. Jim, tbe letter-carrier, got the fifty pounds reward, but it was the price of blood- though the blood of a murderer and it did him no good. He never prospered. He was found, not many months afterward, by the roadside, his pony and cart close ny where ne bad left them, and he all alone under the hed g' dead' So he didn't long enjoy his gain. I am still in the old lighthomw, and I ten Will and I talk over I lie murder f Alice Oreovea and the fate of our strange visitor. TEMPERAICE DIPAETHRT.
