HOUSE. ICOimNUSD.I As long na tho sun shoue, arid tho' roses bloomed, and the nightingales sang about the windows till midnight, I tried bard to shut my ears to the memory of old Nelly's hint, and took good caro not to mention it to my aunt, i If the servants looked myste? rious, I Vould not see them; if they .whispered together, it was nothing to me. There was so short a time for the stars to Rhino between the slow darkening of tho blue sky at night and the early quiokening of flowers and birds and rosy beams at dawn, thai there wits literally no space for the accommodation of ghosts. So long as tho summer lasted, the Thatched House was a dwelling of sunshine and sweet odors and bright fancies for me. It was different, however, when a wintry sky closed in around us, when solitary leaves dangled upon shivering boughs, and when the winds began to shudder at tho windows nil through the long dark night. Then I took fear to my heart, and wished that I had nov tu? scon the Thatched House. Then it was that my ears became gradually open to tho dreadful mur? murs that were rife in the houso; then it was that I learned the story of the weeping lady, and of her foot? step on the stairs. Of course I would not believe, though the thnmping of my heart, if I chanced to cross a landing, even by twilight, belied the courage of which I boasted. I for? bade the servants to hint at such folly as the existence of ghosts, and warned them at their peril not to let a whis? per of the kind disturb my aunt. On tho latter point I believed they did their best to obey me. Aunt Featherstone was a dear old, cross, good-natured, crotchety, kind? hearted lady, who was always needing to be coaxed. She considered hersch an exceedingly strong-minded per? son, whereas she was in reality ono ol the most nervous women I havo known. I verily believe that, if she had known that story of the foot? step, she would have made up her mind to noa* it distinctly every night, and '"ould have been found some morning stono dead in her bed wit! fear. Therefore, as long ns it was possible, I kept the dreadful secret from her ears. This was in reality, however, a muoh shorter space o time than I had imagined it to be. About the middle of November, Aunt Featherstone noticed that I wai ' beginning to look very pale, to lost my appetite, and to start and trembh at the most commonplace sounds, The truth was, that the long nights o terror whioh passed over my head in my pretty sleeping-room off tin corridor, were wearing out my healtl and spirits, and threatening to throv me into a fever; and yet neither sigh nor sound of the supernatural hat ever disturbed my rest-none wortl recording, that is-for of course, ii my paroxysms of wakeful fear, I fan cied a thousand horrible revelations Night after night I lay in agony, wit) my ears distended for the sound o the foot-stcp. Morning after morn ing I awakened, weary and jaded after short, unsatisfying sleep, am resolved that I would confess to m; aunt, and implore her to fly from th place at once. But, when seated a the breakfast-table, my heart invari ably failed me. I accounted, by th mention of a headache, for my pal cheeks, and kept my secret. Some weeks passed, and then I i my turn began to observe Aunt Fet therstone bad grown exceedingly du inspirits. "Can any one havo toi her the secret of the Thatche House?" was the question I quickl asked myself. But tho servants d( nied having broken their promisi and I had reason to think that thei had been of late much less gossip o the subject than formerly. I wi afraid to risk questioning the dei old lady, and BO I could only boj and surmise. But I was dull, an the Thatched House was drear; Things went on in this way for son time, and at last a dreadful night a rived. I had been for a long wal during the day; and had gone to be rather earlier than usual, and falle asleep quiokly. For about two boo I slept, and then I was roused sui denly by a slight sound, like tl creaking of a board, just outside n door. With the instinct of fear started up, and listened intently, watery moon was shining into n room, revealing the pretty bino ai white furniture, the pale statue and the various little dainty om monts with whioh I had been pleasi to surround myself in this my chosi sanctuary. I sat up shuddering ai listened. I pressed my hands tight over my heart, to try and keep i throbbing from killing me; for d tinctly, in tho merciless stillness the night, I heard the tread of stealthy foot-step on the passage 01 side my room. Along the corrid it crept, down the stair-case it wer and was lost in tho hall below. I shall never forget tho anguish fear in whioh I passed tho romaine! of that wretohed night. Wh: cowering into my pillow, I made i my mind to leave the Thatched Hou as soon as tho morning broke, a never to enter it again. I had hes of people whose hair had grown gr in a singlo night of grief or torro When I glanced in tho looking-gL ?H dawn, I altaos???VKjtMLM to seo a white head upon tay shoulders.
