PkUadtifUa .VawS, THE MISSING DEED. Tha Manner of Finding It and Winning a Bride. I am Grant I know there are oth er Grants. A clumsy Englishman once told roe that Grant waa a very common same. Thore are the Grants of Grant and the Grants of Dalvoy; there are Grants in Edinburgh and Grants in London. Alas! the Grants are a disin herited raoo, for tliolr grandfathers, it soems, always squandered the fortunes which they ought to have left to their sons. At least, I know that it was the case of my own grundfuther. Had he not played ducks and drakes with my inheritance, I should hare been but there, I am content to bo what I am, Grant of Tullybardano, and never a dearer or lovulior homo had Scottish man to dwoll In. My wifo often laughs at me for being so fond of the place. But then the strangest event of my life is bound up with its possession. And surely I may woll remombor and be thankful for that event, for without it yonder lady with tho silver hair would scarely now have been sitting near mo, uid laughing at tho follies of an old man as she does. Five-and-thirty years ago I was living here in the Grange at Tullybardano. The place had como to my father by be quest not many years before, and he had scarcely learned to play tho laird before he died and left it to me. I was only a boy then, and my mother and I were quite content with our lives in the new home. So thore I lived and grew up to manhood, and thore, in tho course of years, I fell in love. Accordingly, one winter morning I rodo across to (len Lcvannoch, and asked Mr. Frasor to give roe his daughter to bj my wife. Of course, I had found out beforehand that Miss Frasor was not unwilling to bo given. Well, wo had a long Interview, and the results in brief were these. I had left homo tolerably confident, as ono is wont to bo at four and-twenty, and 1 returned about as doioctod and indig nant as any reasonable man ever was. Mr. Frasor was an old friend. Ho had been one of my guardians. He was my fathor's executor. I exported my decla ration to be hoartlly welcomed. Tully bardano is a bettor property than Glen Levannoch. What whs there to stand in our way? lint when 1 came back I felt like a man who has boon stunned by a treacherous blow. All of a sudden, for the lirst tiino in my life, I learned that my title to Tullybanlane was not beyond dispute. I heard that a oortaln document had longliecn missing from the title-deed and that till that docu ment were found, 1 could never bo entirely secure in my own home, lint what was far worse, under the circum stances, Mr, Fritter Informed me ho could not enoourago my suit for his daughter's hand. hat followod I don't quite remem ber. 1 have a haunting fear that 1 lost my temper, and that on ono sido or tho other a good deal of strong language was used I know 1 swore I would rtovcr give Nell up, not even if I were turned out of Tullvbardane nock and crop next day. Of course, It was very foolish, but then the oircutu-tancos wore exceptional When I got home 1 tent for tho attorney, and for tho next four days 1 did noth ng, I think, except consult lawyers ami look over papers and rummage every hole and corner of the Grange for tho missing deed But what Mr. Frasor had told mo provod to be only too true. In the week that followed I remember three things distinctly, not that thoy were in themsolvoa Important, but that they bore upon that stranjre ovent which made a turning point in my life. The first Is that I rode over to Glen Lev an- noon and was told that Mr. and Miss Flaw had left homo, to stay with friends In Edinburgh. The sooond is that my man George, who acted as footman anil valet to me, got drunk one night and left the house door wide open for which I have not ocascd to thank Provi dence ever since. Now, as a rule, I am lenient to those failings. Whisky, I re gret to say, has an attraction for men ui these northorn climates. Hut. whother it was that I was out of sorts. or whether it was that my mother was alarmed, I don't know, bat I resolved to make an example, and I tamed the man out of the house the next day. The third incident was more important, and shall be told at lonrth. I am a good sleeper. I don't dream much. 1 don't believe in dream warn ings and such things. I have no faith in ghosts -though I know for a fact that my cousins, the Mae Mocks have a tiansiMte in thoir family as a fact, I fay. ltut about that time I used to try and dream of a certain lady, and so one night I fell asloep and I dfd dream. And this Is what I dreamed. I thought I was in Edinburgh, stand ing in rrinoos stroot (and lot me find any street in England or anywhere eUo J which can compare with that) and wait-1 Ing by the Waverly Monummt. im polite me was a hotel, which 1 suppose urus u ntidiliwr. for out of it D -ctently rnme, as clear and vivid as in 1 fe, Nelly Eraser, with a veil over her head. Hio came slowly toward me and lifted hor veil, rcvoaling a luce so wnite aim m -crablo that 1 scarcely knew It, and then, no I stepped forward, tsho raised one hand, and, point ngup across the gorge toward the High, street hill, van sh d Into a moving mist. Then the shadows' bejun to shift and shulllo themselvos, and presently out came another vision from my dream. I was there still, standing, but all tho surroundings had changed. I seemed to be in a sort ol shop or ollice. a counter was uiuore mo, and all around mo were thin phan tom figures, with no featuros that I could see. Only one among the--e misty shapes had a visible human face. And that one auvanoea towaru me wiui smile which I shall never forget It was tho face of a young man, slightly drooped, as if its owner were shy or deferential, with blue, bright eyes and gentle, handsome features, ana lair hair, and lips that seemed to bo mado for laughter, and a smile that shone like a gleam of sunshine there. And in a moment the face and forms had vanished. The darkness seemed to crow darker. I heard soit steps walking in the air. I felt as if a cold wind were o.owing in my face. Suddenly I saw the chill sea sh;nlni far off under the white stars. A voice thatwat harsh broke out in hoarse laughter beside mo, and then I awoke. Two days after I set out for Edin burgh, with three objects. I want'd to consult an eminent advocate. I want ed to get a new servant And I want ed, at least, to find out where the Erasers were. I saw the great advocate, and he con firmed my fears. "Unless the missing deed is found, my doar sir," he sa d in his blandest accents, "your titlo is so defective as to be entirely worthless, should a rival claimant arise." I did not see the Erasers, but I got their address, and I wrote one letter to the father and four to the daughter. I engaged a new man servant in this way: Our need for a man servant being pressing, I went, for the first and la4 time In my lifo, to a registry ofUce. The shop lay in the south of the town, up beyond the High stroet, and when I en tered it there were several subdued looking beings, unfortunate applicants, I suppose, standing round. Behind tho counter were a man and woman, and to tho former, having a prejudice in favor of doing business with my own sex, begotten, perhaps, of shyness, I ap plied. He kept mo waiting a long time. Then he looked over a prod gious ledger and road me out numerous applications which were perfectly useloss. At last, however, he came to one which I thought would do. I told him so, and he thereupon invitod me to wait a little longer, as tho "young man" in question was likely to call shortly. At first I re fused, but on consideration I decided to go out and have my hair cut and then to return and see if tho young mail were there. When I came back some twenty min utes later, the small ollice Mas full of people. As I cn'ored, something in the look of the place and the attitud.i of the figures struck me as familiar. But I dismissed the idea at onoo. Th i shop man came to moot me. "The young man is hore, sir,"' ho said, and ho turned with a wave of his hand to a figure behind him. The figure advanced. It was tho figure of a good looking boy rathor than of a man,' slight and fair, and with tho head a lit-! tie drooping. As tho boy raised his fa.-e' to look at me, I started back. Feature' for feature, as clear as it could bo, it was the face I had seen in my dream! 1 don't know what followed; I don't know whether my conduct appeared vory strange. I don't what the boy saiu to mo, or what I said to him. I have only a vague idea that I generally assented to every tiling. And 1 know that when I wentho.no to Tullybardano, Sydney Loch went with mo os my man. Tullybardano is a d isolate plaoe. It lies in a narrow gorge which runt down straight to the shore. The hills slope upon o thor hand, and end In tumbled rocks and caverns whero the soa foam breaks and the sea waves sing. The old grange is a rambling house. From its w.ndows you can look over tho beach, and only the falling gardens separate you from it On the right hand is tha Ibrary, which f-teoa down a long avenue of firs to tho sea, and beyond tho libra ry stretchos tho deserted part of the house, which for llve-and-th rty years I have been me.mlng to repair. 1 ha li brary was rathor a gloomy room, com municating only by a long passage with ihe other inhabitod parts of tho house. Indeed, the whole house was rather lonely. For myself, I never minded that but 1 fancy it struck my new serv ant as a bit solitary and weird. Now, I must tell you about tho do ings of this young follow. A day or after ray return, boih my mother and I began to notice something strange about him. It was not that I did not like him, for I took a strong fancy to him at ouop, and here, tivo-and-thlrty years after, he lives to this d-ty less, I think, of a servant to us than a faithful and trusted friend. But certainly his behavior was odd, and the first tiling we observed was this. One afternoon I waa sitting with my mother in the drawing-room. Mr mother had ordered tea. Personally, I am afraid of these unwholesome drinks, and never have taken to that surrepti tious fashion of working in an extra meal in the afternoon. But I was sit ting with her and talking very discon solately, fori felt thoroughly depressed. Presently Sydney came in with some cups of tea on a tray a detestable plan of taking tea if you mut take it bat one to wh!ch my doar mother was par tial, lie handed the tray to my mother, and he handed it to me. Thou, to our surprise, he walked straight across the room to a big armchair that stood near the window, and handed the tray to tha empty choir! But the armchair, or its invisible occupant refused it apparent ly, and the man withdrew. 1 am en dowed with a large fund of Scottish humor, and I burst out laughing. My mother was equally perplexed "Ho must have thought there was some one s tting there," she said. "He must be very shortsighted, poor boy. It's very strange." "He must be as blind as a bat," 1 an swered, "or else have bo n playing b practical joke on us. I never saw any thing so absurd In my lifo." . But in the next few days I was cVs. fined to see stranger things. I nske Sydney If he were shortsighted, but h denied the charge with warmth. An yet the more I watched him, the juori obvious was It that he was alway moot ing Invisible people. Once, as I chan wi to see him coming down stairs, I d s tinctly saw hlra draw back, pressiny himself against the wall, as if to allow an invisible person to pass. . Another time I saw him walk to the front door. opon it and hold- It as if for an in visible visitor to pass out After that 1 could stand it no longor. I am the worst possible hand at fault-find nr with servants, but I was determined to have an explanation of this. So tha: afternoon I spoke to Sydney. "Sydney," I said, bluntly, "are you given to seeing ghostsP" . "I, sir!" he answered, with a smile o' astonishment "No, sir, I never saw a ghost in my life." . , "Then, what do you mean," I broke out "by behaving in the way you have been doing?" The boy stared. Evidently he thought me off my head I determined to speak more gently. ; "Then," I said, "who was that person you showed out of the house this morn ing?" I knew I had him there, for.l was euro nobody had called. "Oh, you mean the old gentleman in grav, sir. He left no name. I though, sir, 'he seemed to be at home,) In the house; I had seen him here so often, sir." Now It was my turn to stare. I was dumbfounded. I literally stammered for want of words. Then I showed what I have always thought was re markable present of mind I turned around and walked into the dining room, telling the boy to follow. There I poured out a glass of whisky and gave it to him. "Drink that" I said, "and you had better sit down." Obviously he thought me .as eccentric as I thought him. But he merely said: "Thank you, sir," and drank the whisky. "Do you fool quite well?" I asked, frigidly. "Quite well, thank you, sir." "Are you subject to delusions or hal lucinations?" "No, sir; never, sir," he answered promptly, with a lurking smile, which lie vainly tried to conceal. That smile annoyed mo. I broke out again "Then, what on earth do you mean," I cried, "by telling me this nonsense about a gentleman in gray?" Sydney rose. There was some digni ty in his manner. He spoke respect fully, but in an injured tone: "I beg your pardon, sir but I only told vou about the gentleman who called, and I thought sir, yon might have seen him. for he passed by you. and I fancied he nodded to you as he passed. Kcallv, things had come to a pretty pass! Here was my own servant aeCUS Infl. ma tt finnt n re Inviathln nflunrsiviw ... i.iw w. ujv. n .u.iw.wav J ...... vw. a. which only existed in his own disor dered brain! But there I will not rcpe it all the conversation that followed. I must say Sydney kept his temper wonderfully, for I lost mine. However, we, had a long explanation, which ended in this way. The boy assorted pos.t.yely that he but three or four times seen an elderly gentleman in gray walk ng about the house. He had seen him in the passages up sta rs and in the grounds outside. He had, he ndmitied, wondored who he could be, and had fancied that he must bo some very in timate friend, or some one connected with the establishment He had never heard him speak, ocrtainly. He had not as yot questioned any of the oiher servants about him. But then he had himself only been a few days in the house, and as yet did not know all the people about the place When 1 told him that no one else, in the house had ever heard of such a person, Sydney was completely stiggerod In foot, the only result of our conversation was to leave on the minds of each of us crave doubts as to tho other's sanity, if not as to his own. But before we parted 1 made the boy promise mo solemnly that the very next time ho saw this myster ious figure he would summon meat once. Next day nothing happened, and I meditated dismissing Sydney. The day uftor, an event occurred whioh changed the current of my thoughts, which, thank God, altered my wholo life since, and which has mado Sydney Loch tho most faithful friend I have. It was lute In the afternoon a winter dusk. I was upstairs in my bed-room, writing a letter to Nolly, vowing that I would never g ye her up, and yet seeing no prospect ol ever being ab e to claim hor for my wife. It was that hour when the day beg ns to pass into the night, and shailows have crown eiirantlc and men's thoughts are turning toward din ner. Midden. y x was roused by a quick step and a knock at the door. I called out "Come in." and Svduev SDDeared on the thresh ihl He looked verypale and excited, as far as I could see him by the dim light of my eandlos, and he spoke in a strange voice. "He is there, sir, the old gentleman in gray in tue passage. ' I jumped up, and was following him In a moment It must have been well past six o o ock, and vet the lights in the corridor were still unlighted. I looked all around, but could see no one. "Where?" I sa d. in a whisper; for I think the gloom and the boys strange looks had frighteued my common sense out of me. Sydney took me by the arm and point ed. 1 felt he was trembling all over. And for ray own part, aa uncomfortable cum seemed to be creeping through m 1 limbs. "There, sir, there don't you sc him? at the top of the staira.. Ho'i beckoninz us to follow com." I strained my eyes In the direction wnere ne pointed, but oonld discori: nothing. However, I caught hold o Svdney s arm, and followed him siloutlv 1 ike a fhrep. W hy I did to I can not ai th's moment conceive. The boy lod the way down tsIrs, np parent'y keeping his eyes fixed on some th ng he could tee in front I held hit b'nlly. We went down and aeross t) hall, and th.n out of the front door lot tlie cold air. It was ouito dark out-side, though one or two blurred stars were flickering puloly, and the moon, I thought was struggling behind a cloud. Round tho house wo went, faster end f.id.,.1- Into tha frurdens at the back, and down the sIodcs toward the sea. Syd ney seemed to bo dragging mn along. Once I caught a glimpse of his f ico and I saw it was deaiHy wliito, although his eyes wore stranmg wildly after thy phantom ho was following. Mill no went on and on. We were nearing the beach now. and I could hear the surf beating a"ainnt tho rocks, and dimly sco the white crests of the waves hanging intuo foggy night Now we were on the beach. I f.-lttho seaweed under niv foct and stumbled. Still the boy dragged me along. Now we must ba on the brink of the wator, I thought, and shivered. Th"n I put out my other hand and clutched at Sydney's arm. "In God's name, whore are you going?" I said, In a terrified whisper. The boy did not answer. He stopped doad The darkness was thick about us. We were standing in a mist and even the blurred stars had faded out. Suddenly I felt a wave break over my feet. And at that moment hissing out and echointr across the darkness, there grated in my ears the sound of a harsh and hollow jaugn uie very laugu i uuu heard in my dream. The gloom was so dense that could only see the outline of Sydney's body, though I was grasping him with my two hands, mere was a pence si lence. Still I stood there .motionless, rooted to the rocks. Then I felt the boy start again, toward the house. An other wave washed up against my feet as I turned with him and began to ascend to the gardens again. Tlie fog was grow ing thinner. Presently it parted, and a strong wind seemed to" have risen sud denly out of the sea. Now I could dis t'uctlv see Sydney's eyes fixed on the invisible thing before him. I could see, too, that we were mounting the palo avenue of trees, and from the dis tant windows of the library a dim light was casting shadows down upon our faces. But we did not make for those windows. My guide turned off to tho left and we entered the deserted part or the house. I felt utterly spellbound. 1 seemed to have lost all power of vo lition. I believe I should blindly have followed that boy to my death. ' We had plunged into a labyrinth of shadowy rooms, leaving tho outer air. How we got into that part of the house I cannot tell. I had not been there for years. Sydney ooutd never have been m it and yet he led me on rapidly, and never faltered or hesitated once. 1 think the moon must have come out for there was a faint light shining through the windows as we passed, and by that light he guided me. We crossed several empty rooms and passages, and at last came out into a long corridor. That, too, we traversed. At the further end a door opened before us. I stepped through it into my own library, and stood there in the lamplight, gazing stupidly into Sydney's face. lie, too, had paused. But ne never spoke a word, nor looked at me. His eyes were fixed on a tall bookcase In a corner of the room. Presently he began to move slowly toward it and I, still holding him, followed Then, as we approach ed it, to my utter amazement, the-whole bookcase swung back upon its hinges, revealing a small c'oset which I had never seen be.'ore, with some dusty rolls of paper lying on a shelf within it With a weird cry Sydney sprung forward, wrenching himself from my grasp. He seized tho papers, and, tnrning, thrust them Into my hand. Then, with his face as white as snow and eye distended, he raised one arm and pointed to the window. In another moment he had tottered bock and fallen on the floor. But I was already at the window. In my frenzy I dashed my thoulder against it The fastening gave. The glass came crashing down about me. 1 was outside, standing in the chill blue night Round me the wind was whining and blustering. The fog had melted away. Overhead the stars were burning golden. The banish 'd clouds had gone. But no sign of any human figure, man or ghost was there. Only the desolate avenue, with its fir trees bending over it, and at the far end, in the dimness, the high moon over the whitened sea! When I went inti the library I found Sydnev in a doad faint on the floor. 1 rushed to the bell and rang it till its tones went pealing and clashing through tho hou e. Then I raised tho Coy in my arms and carried him easily into the lightod hall The blood from the cuts of the broken glass was running freely down my face and hands. But I did not mind it for I felt as if lifo hod sud denly como back to mo. And when my mother an 1 tho servants came out and gathered, startled and lamenting, round us, I fell down on my knees beside the boy and wept as never I wept I think, before that day or since, I have no more to tell. Tiie closet in the library opened, I found, by a secret spring but what hand opened it that terrible night I never know. Among the papers which Sydney had thrust into my hand was the long lost document which confirmed ray title to the estate. Sydney was for long very ill; but at last' with careful nursing I know my moth er and I did all we could for him, and somebody else, who shall be nameless, did more than we he recovered, and has ever since remained with me. Neither of us ever spoke much of the tilings we had seen that winter dav. The mystery of my inheritance is a mystery still, and men will burr it with us in our graves. Only th'is I know and will tell yon. that from that hour to this, Sydney has nevor seen a ghost again. Sol am Grant of Tnllybardane, and the heiress of Glen Levannoch is my wife.
