I "That," I replied, "ia a painful and difficult question, which I would rather not answer in general terms. Such creatures, hoing merely cases of 'arrested development; ' are gene? rally very short-lived, anyhow. But, my dear B?T,'.'I added, "allow meto say. that this is on unprofitable discussion, and that I should prefer .seeing my patient forthwith." "Ono word more, doctor,'.' he said; ""you Thall not lose anything by the delay. You are to assist at an ao couchment; and I foresee, I know, doctor, that the wretched, product will be unfit to seo the light-^to breathe the air-with common mor? tals. Do'your duty-let it die-and see, bete is your reward." He turn? ed to an elaborately carved oaken cabinet tb at stood near, aud, opening a drawer, took out a rouleau of gobi coins, one of many similar packages with whioh the receptacle seemed filled. "A thousand -dollars 1" ho went on to say, "all yours, doctor, when yon tell me that the child is dead. Meantime, take this, as a proof of my sincerity and of my per? sonal regard." As he spoke, he drew from his finger a splendid solitaire diamond, the only ornament visible on his per? son, and held it toward me. Think? ing best to avoid exciting bim by a refusal, I took the jewel. Just then we were interrupted by a gentle tap . at the door, which my companion opened, aud gave admis? sion to one of the most repulsive figures I had ever beheld. It was that of au aged negress, short and somewhat bent iu person, whoso white woolly hair was crowned by a kind of turban of yellow and crimson . silk, and whoso shrivelled features wore an almost diabolical expressiou of mingled cunning and malice. She whispered a few words to her master, who turned to me with an appearance of increased. excitement, and said that my services were required im? mediately. He then led the way out of the room, across the hall, which was adorned wjfh magnificent statua? ry, and up tho wide oaken stair-case to a long corridor on tho second floor, at the further end of which I was ushered into an elegantly fur? nished chamber, resembling a lady's boudoir. This seemed to be sepa? rated from an inner room by curtains of richly-worked tapestry suspended from the ceiling. Here, at the bid? ding of my conductor, I took a seat, while he passed within, in order, as he said, to preparo the patient for my reception. The negro woman hod followed us, and began to bustle about with a great show of assiduity. Now and then I caught her glittering, snake-like eyes fired upou me, while she chuckled and muttered to herself with a sort of spiteful merriment. Her appearance and demeanor were so witch-like and forbidding, that. I felt positively relieved when my unfortu? nate host re-appeared and signified that I might at once proceed to the scene of my duties. He held the ' curtains apart, I entered, and stood by the bed-side of tho expectant mother. The movements of those I had left warned me, at the same time, that they had placed themselves close to the silken barrier, where they x;ould readily hear every word that anight bo spoken.
