All .tbe afternoon t he rain had poured down in torrents, and, a3 the early twilight of a bleak autumnal day gathered over the drear land scape, I drew closely tho shutters of my oP.lcc windows, and, turning the gas down, prepared to enjoy a cozy reverie. The storm grew louder and fiercer. The wind howled dismally through the crevices, and my little wooden sign creaked and groan ed on its Iron hiDge3. As I sal lost in the mazy depths of my fancies, lairyland, there came ? loud and imperative knock upon ray office door. , Muttering something not at all compliment ary to evening callers, 1 arose and answered the unwelcome summons. A slight, boyish figure, enveloped in a large black cioak which covered him froui head to foot, stood leaning wearily against the railing of the steps. "Is this Dr. Merriam ?" The voice was singularly clear and sweet, and, with a little thrill of curiosity, I stepped back aud bade the Inti tuler enter. I turned on the gas, which instantly tilled the room with a sudden Hood of light, and wheeliug ft great urui-chair before the lire, re quested hi or to be seared. But, to ray surprise, with a most decided qesture, he declined, and turning to the street door, locked It, and put the key in his pocket. Tue uiovenu-nt Ulled me with indignation, and I was about demaudihg an explanation, when he advanced to where I was standing, and throwing aside the henry cloak, extended his lett hand which was mutilated horribly, and bleeding In a very profuse manner. ' Do not fear rae.*' he said rapidly, "I mere ly locked the door lo prevent intrusion. I called to have this wounded member properly bandaged, and beg that you will be as expedi tious as possible. "Fear him!" I smiled at the absurd idea, for the fellow was not as large a: an ordinarily . sized girl, and I would as soon have thought of being "taken captive by a mosquito as ot* being worsted in a hand-to-hand encounter with him. Ltitt I made no reply, and procuring band ages aud splinters went to work. It was a very ugly wound ridded. The whole hand looked as il it had been chawed and bit ten, while the forefinger was entirely gone. "How In the deuce," l ejaculated, "did you manage to get hurt so ?" He shrugged his shoulders impatiently. Le diable !" he burst one passionately. "Do up the thing. I'll pay a good price." Then, as if ashamed ot his rudeness, he con tinued more civily. ' However, as you 'medicine men' know eve rything. I shall have lo tell you that I happen ed to have a lllttle'difficulty,1 and got I he worst of it." 1 perceived that he did not like to converse about it, so I did not reter lo it. again. He wore his broud-rlmmed hat slouched down over his eyes, and I could only see t he lower part of his lace, which was round, dim pled and womanish in the extreme. But he bore pain wit h a fortitude I never saw equalled. Not a groan escaped him, though his face was covered with perspiration, and his Hps were white with ngony, but, when the operation was over, with an at tempt at bravado, he asked how long ere the hand would be well again, and when I told him it would be useless forever, he said nothing, but. laying a roll of bills on the table, unlocked the door, and In another instant I was alone. I picked up the roll of bills, and, counting them, was surprised to Ind myself the happy possessor of $500 more than T was ere my one night's work, axd, congratulating myself on the pleasant fact, g<>: Into ray b?d lu a most exultant frame of mind; Tor the little village wherein I hung out my shingle boasted two disciples of the healing art besides myself, and I am free to confess that patients and fllthy lucre were provokingly scarce. ... The next morning I was shocked to hear the ' astounding story that old John Bradley, of tho neighboring village, had been tound dead In bed, his throat, cut lrom ear to ear. Old Bradley was a raiser, and lived alone, with the exception ot a girl, now grown to young ladyhood, whom, in a rare Instance of charity, he had rescued lrom the goiters of Boston, and adopted as his own. She would lie with more ease than any one else com! tell the truth. She could, aud did, steal with a laclllty almost marvellous. White her stock of "Billingsgate" was ot the choicest description, and beggared anything of tho kind Hie villa gers had ever seen. She was singularly handsome, but her tem per was as high-strung as her race was pretty; and ten years pre .'lou3, when old John had1 been forced to send her to the Reform School, her rage and auger knew no bounds. But all that was past After her return. Bradley had purchased an elegant outfit for his vicious ward, and sent her to a distant city to a fash ionable ladies' school, trora which she hud Just returned an accomplished lady of nine teen. About 9 o'clock an inquest was held, aud mysell and colleagues met at Bradley's. A more hideous-looklug corpse 1 never be held than the one stretched out before me. The lace was thin aud shrunken, ami long, livid Beratenes ran horizontally over the cheeks, while, extending from ear to ear, ran a deep, jagged gash, iront' which the blood had oozed, and luv lu a congealed mass arouud him. Bending c <f ihlin, and endeavoring to close his mouifi, f perceived a white substance be tween his teeth. To draw It torth was tho work- of an Instant. A cold chill crept over me as I laid it. down. It was a white, slender linger?the linger of a j delicate left hand. John Bradley had been murdered;and liken I flash of lightning -it burst upon rae that his j murder was none other than mv visitor of the previous evening, i explained t he case, as soon as I could command myself, to mv colleagues, and claimed the ghastly clue to the perpetra tion of the tejr&ie crime. We determined t,0 My nothing concerning our discovery for a lime, but calling in the services ot the secret poiice, we flattered our selves that ere long we would be enabled to deliver tho assassin into the hands of (he au thorities. Bradley's adopted daughter, immediately upon being apprised ot the death of her guar dian, had gsne into a violent lit of hysterics, and bolting her cli iinber door, positively re fused companionship of any kind. I saw* her at tho funeral two day - later. She was very pale, aud her appearance in dicated lhat she bad Indulged lu a most ex haustive lit of weeping. I had never seen her before, to my knowledge; still [here sgenied a strangely familiar air about her lor which I could not accouul. She was dressed iu deep mourning, wore a Russian sable collarette, and earned a muff of the same; Indeed, her whole appearance was elegant in the extreme. The young lady wept soltly from the depths of a costly aud exquisite mouchoir, and I noticed Ihe hand tbat held tile elegant trifle was while and small, displaying Jo good advantage a valuable diamond i ing. I glanced at tile girl curiously, aud thought of all the stories 1 hod heart.' coucerniug her queer, uncanny child hood; and as ihe prosy jninister descanted upon the merits of the deceased, I speculated upou the future course of the heiress ol all old Bradley's hoarded thousands. The will was short and concise, beginning with the usual formula aud endiug with the sentence? "Do will and bequeath to my adopted daughter, Jaquellue Bosenl Bradley, the sum ot $lo.?uo hi the First NUtloual Bank, together wiih all real esia.e and personal property belonging tome. Wherewith, In token oi the same, I alllx my name hereunto. Jonx Bkaulev." Wit^ssesj^l^^ j Miss Bradley did not seem to feel elated over her good fortune, but took it quite as a matter of course. Her quiet behavior elicited a great deal of speculative gossip from the villagers but as she was very reticent, village curiosity was unsatisfied. There was something myste rious about the g!rl. I felt that the first lime I saw her. But after the first few weeks ihe excitement gradually calmed down, and In the busy search for additional knowledge of the mysterious assassin, I dismissed her lrom my thoughts. But time passed, and with all our efforts we were still as much in the dark as when we first began. A year went round, but long be fore Miss Bradley had sold the estate and gone, none knew where, I still kept up the search; but it was useless, and. tired ouf. I almost con cluded to give it up entirely, when, one eve ning. I received a letter from my nephew, Tom ifantord. containing a pressing invitation to come to the Holly Lodge and make him a long visit. Our own "little village was unusually dull, and everybody persisted in pertaining a vulgar degree" ot good health, positively dis couraging to a poverty-stricken physician in a country town. So, packing a change of linen in my valise, I started. Tom met me at the depot, und giving me a most cordial welcome, conducted me to his home. Now Tom, at that time, was a single man, but I soon perceived by the drift of his con versation that ho was no longer heart-whole, and that as soon as his inamorata gave him a favorable reply, he would metamorphose him self Into a benedict. It was nothing but. Helen from morning till night, and I gladly availed myself of the op portunity to call and see his paragon of per fection. I recognized her instantly as none other than the Miss Bradley, ol Bradleyford. In commenting on her appearance that eve nine: to Tom. I asked, carelessly, why she carried her hand bandaged so closely. He believed she hau an eruption or some thing of the sort-; did not exactly know; she had always had it so since ho had first known her. 1 felt, a sudden suspicion, but could not ac count for It, but when morning came had al most forgotten the matter. Titr?e weeks passed pleasantlyaway, and it being the anniversary of my birthday, Tom vowed there should be a fete in honor of it. eo the young people of the neighborhood were invited, and everything went off as smoothly as wedding bells, until it was nearly time for the party to break up, when there came up a terrible storm. It continued to rain with a steady drip, drip, and drizzle, which effectually precluded the idea of returning home, and our guests were obliged to remain another night with us. I noticed that Miss Bradley grew restless and uneasy beneath my gaze, und when my eyes rested upon her bandaged hand, she grew pale to the lips. She early excused herseil on the second evening and went to her room. It so happened that my apartment was on the same lloor. und. in liicr, was separated from hers only by a thin partition, and as soon as de cency would permit, I slipped up the Blairs, and opening the door softly entered my own room. I stepped on a chair and looking cautiously through the parUlion beheld Miss "Bradley on her knees before the lamp, the bandages re moved lroin her left, hand, which for ihe first time I beheld free from its swathing*. Ilwas4rlthered, and minus a finger. Instant ly that Idack atuumnal midnight, and my sin gular vision, rose before my mental vision, and with a sickening sense ol horror 1 sat down ou the edge of ihe bed to think. My ulght-Iamu burned low, and ihe great clock in the hall chimed the hour of twelve, ere I foil into a dose. I slept but lightly. Vis ions of the murdered man danced bet?re my eyes; awake, aud grinning faces haunted my dreams. I heard the door turn slowly on Its hinges, and a light, firm step sounded softly on the thick pile of the carpet. My heart gave a great bound. I looked through half-closed lids to ward the door and beheld Miss Bradley, in a loose white wrapper, advancing to mv bedside. Her ioug dark hair, unbound, floated over lier "shoulders in waves of Jet, and her eyes were wide open, strangely fixed and glaring. She was muttering to herself. It seemed as though I could not move, but seemed as if held In a vice. As she stopped by my bed I caught the bright gleam ot a dagger shining in the glare ol the night lamp. Mis3 Bradley looked at me long and ear nestly. "Yes, I killed him," she muttered, "I killed him; he fought, though, like a Hon. I wanted money. I shull kill this one, because I am uot safe while he lives." She held up her knife, which looked bright and sharp in the lamplight. "Not three minutes to live," 6hc continued hoarsely. "May tho Lord have mercy on you." She swung the knife slowly in a circle over her head; then, with a quick bound, I sprang up, and in another Instant, pinioned lier to the lloor, calling loudly for help. She struggled desperately, but he r efforts availed her notaing. Tom?I never saw so haggard a countenance as ills was when I related i he Circumstances, and the officers led her away to Ihe count v I Jail. But long before her trial was to have been, the unhappy girl was found dead In her cell, leaving a written confession of her guilt, and the manner in which she had committed the atrocious crime. I still keep the linger us a memento of the very near escape I hud from death. Tom, after long year?, married an amiable and lovely woman, but there is always a latent touch of sadness In his tone, and a look of sorrow larklug in the shadow of Ids eyes, which I, who know his past, so well, know was caused by the beautiful but demoniacal owner ot the Withered Hand.
