"Why are you BO stubborn^ 3ar bara?" abo asked, "you have plenty of lovers, I know." "But they do not ?nit me," said Barbara, coolly, tying back her onrls before the mirror.'' ?.Why not?" "I want? when X marry, a man who is brave, equal to any emergency. If I give np my (liberty* I want to be - taken caro of." "Silly child! what ia the matter with big Barney, the blacksmith?" ..Ho1 ls big, bot I- nev?r loamed ^v??* he was brave." "And you never heard that he was not. What is the matter with Ear? nest, the gunsmith?" "He's as placid as goat's milk?" "That is no sign, that he is a coward. There is little Fritz, the tanner, he is quarrelsome enough for yon, snrely?" "He is no bigger than a bantam cock. It is little be could do if the houBe was set upon by robbers 1" "It's not always strength that wins a fight, my girl It takes brains as well as brawn. Come, now, Barbara, give these young fellows a fair trial." Barbara turned her face before the mirror, letting down one raven tress and looping up another. "I will, mother," said she at lost. That evening, Earnest, the gun? smith, knocked early at the door. "You sent for me, Barbara?" he * said, going to the girl, who stood upon the hearth, coquettishly warm? ing one pretty foot and then the other. * 'Yes, Earnest, " sb e replied. "I*ve boen thinking of what you said the other night when you were here." "Well, Barbara." Earnest spoke quietly, but his dark blue eyes flashed, and he looked at her intently. "I want to test yon." "How?" "I want to see if you dare do a very disagreeable thing." "What is it?" "There ia an old coffin np stairs. It smells of mold. They say Red? mond, the murderer, was buried in it; bnt the devil carno for his body and left the coffin empty at the end of a week; and it was finally taken from the tomb. It is up stairs in the room my grand-sire died in, and they eay grand-sire does not rest easy in his grave for some reason, though that I know nothing about. Dare you make that coffin your 'bed to? night?" Earnest laughed. "Is that all? I will that, and sleep soundly. Why, pretty one, did you think I had weak nerves?" "Your nerves will have good prool if you undertake it. Remember, no one sleeps in that wing of the house." "I shall sleep the sounder. I will send a lad to snow you the chamber. If you s tivy until morning," said im? perious Misa Barbara, with a nod ol her pretty head, "I will marry you." "You vow it?" Earnest turned straightway and followed the lad in waiting througl dim rooms and passages, up echoing stairs, along narrow, damp ways, where rats scatter before them, to i low chamber. The boy looked pah and soared, and evidently wanted tc hurry away; but Earnest made hin wait until he took a survey of th? room by the aid of his lamp. It wai very large and full of recesses, witt high windows in them, whioh wert barred aoross. He remembered tba old Grand-sire Ferros had been in sane several years before his death so that this precaution had been ne cessary for the safety of himself um others. In the centre of the roon stood a coffin; beside it was placed ? chair. The room was otherwise per featly empty. Earnest stretched himself in tb coffin. "Be kind enongh to tell Miss Bar bara that it's a very good fit," h< said, fi The boy went out and shut tin door, leaving the young gunsmitl alone in the dark. Meanwhile, Barbara was talking with the big blacksmith in the keep ing-room. "Barney," said she, pulling he hands away from his grasp, when h< would have kissed her, "I've a tes to put to you beforo I give you an; answer. There is a corpse lying ii the untenanted wing of the house If you dare sit with it there all night and let nothing drive you from you post, yon will not ask me to marr; you again in vain." "You will give me a light and i bottle of wine, and a book to read?' "Nothing." "Are these all the conditions yoi can offer me, Barbara?" "All. And if you get frightened you need never look me in tho foe again." "I'll take them, then." So Barney waa conducted to bi post by the lad, who bad been it strticted in the secret, and whose ir. voluntary atare at Earnest's face as i lay in tho coffin, was interpreted b Barney to natural awe of a corpse Ho took his seat, and the boy le bim alono with tho darkness, the rai and tho coffin. Soon after, young Fritz, the tai ncr, arrived, flattered and hopefu from the feet that Barbara had sent for him. ' "." ..^.W'?'?!' "Have iQfl ob*nged, your* mind, Barbara?" be asked. ,s : ?.No; and I shall not. until I know that you e?n do a really brave thing." ..What shall it'be? I swear *o satisfy yon, Barbara." -VI hat* ai proposal to make yon. My plan requires skill as well as cou? rage." "Tell me." "Well, in this house is a man watohing by a corpse. He has sworn not to leave bis post until morning. Ii you can make bim do it, I shall be satisfied that you are as smart and as brave as I require a husband to be." "Why, nothing is so easy!" ex? claimed Fritz, "I can scare him away. Furnish me with a sheet, show me the room, and go to your rest, Barbara. You shall find me at the post in the morning." Barbara did os required, and saw the tanner step blithely away to his task. It was then nearly 12 o'clock, and she sought her own chamber, quickly. Barney was sitting at hin vigil, and, so far, all had been well. The night seemed very long, for he had no means of counting tho time. At times a thrill went through him, for it seemed ns if he he could hear low, suppressed breathing not far away; bat he persuaded himself that it was the wind, blowing through tho cre? vices of the old house. Still, it was very lonely, and not at all cheerful. The faco in tho coffin gleamed whiter through tho darkness. The rats squeaked as if a famine were upon them and they smelled dead flesh. The thought made him shud? der. He got up and walked about, but something made a slight noise, as if somebody was behind him, and he put his chair with its back against tho wall, and sat down again. He had been hard at work all day, and at last, in spite of everything, bc grew sleepy. Finally, he nodded anc snored. Suddenly, it seemed as if somebody had touched him. Ho awoko with i start, and saw nobody near, thougl in the centro of the room, stood i white figure. "Curse you, get ont of this!" h< exclaimed, in a fright, using the firs words that came to his tongue. The figure held up its right am and sfowly approached him. H started to his feet. The spectre cam' nearer, nearer, pressing him into th corner. "The d-1 take you!" cried Bai noy, in his extremity. Involuntarily he stopped back; stil the figure advanced, coming neare and nearer, and extending both arme as if to take him in a ghastly em brace. The hair started up on Bal ney's head; he grew desperate, an just as the gleaming arms would hav touched him, he fell upon the gbos like a whirlwind, tearing off th sheet, thumping, pounding, bcatin and kicking, more and more enrage at the resistance ho met, which toi him the truth. As the reader knows, ho was bij and Fritz was little; and while li was pummeling the little tanner ui mercifully, and Fritz was trying i vain to get a lunge at Barney's st? much, to take the wind ont of bin both plunging and kicking lil horses, they were petrified by bea ing a voice cry: "Take one of your size, Big Ba ney!" Looking around, they saw tl corpse sitting np in his coffin. Th was too much. They released cac other and sprang for tho door. Th? never know how they got out; bi they ran homo in hot haste, pan tir like stags. It was Barbara herself who can and opened tho door upon Earnc the next morning. "It's very early; ono more litt nap," said he, turning over in tl coffin. So she married him; and thou< she sent Fritz and Barney invitatio: to the wedding, they did not appen If they discovered tho trick, th< kept the knowledge to themselvc and never willingly faced Barban laughing eyes again.
