THE HOUSE OS THE MOOR.
There was a tnmble-down. deserted
Look about the entire premises. Taken
altogether, it wa? the last place a hungry
and weary traveler would havo stopped
kt;bat night was coming on, and the sky
threatened ? severe storm; so there was
no choioe. Kiding directly np to tho
door, I dismounted, and entered without
ceremony. Bot if the surroundings were
uninviting and dismal, how much more
within!
Am old woman sat in ?broken chair on
one aide of the fire-place; another of |
about half her age, probably thirty-five,
?sa seated in the other corner; and two
children, a girl of about twelve, and a
boy ?bout ten years of age, were hud?
dled togothor on the floor close to her j
who was evidently their mother, all wear?
ing a pinched and squalid look, a terri?
fied airas if in mortal fear.
"Gan I stay here to-night?" I asked.
"Yes, y OB, I faaoy so," was the hesi?
tating answer of the younger woman,
after looking first ai me, and then at tho
old one. "Yes, I fancy so. But there
is a house three miles further on, where
you'd be better off."
"Three miles! The storm would catch
me before I had got half the distance.
Hark! You can hear the rain on the roof
now."
"I know'd it was going to bo a terrible
night, for-"
Hero sho stopped snddenly, and iu ap?
parent confusion.
"Would your little boy be kind enough
to show me where to put my horse? I
would not like to leave him ont in the
rain.,v
"Go, Willie, and show the stranger. "
"I dareent," was the reply; and the
shfla crept still moro closely to his mo-1
thor, ana hid his face in her skirt.
"If you will direct me, I will wait upon
myself."
"There is the stable, suoh as it is," sho
answered, pointing to the sholl I had
already noticed; "and if you will look
about, you will find soma hay and corn.
I would go with you, myself, but-"
And again she stopped in confusion.
"There is no need of it," I replied.
That there waa some mystery connect?
ed with the family I was certain. The
restrained, terrified manner of all in the
house, and the expression of the little
boy, were enough to convince any ono of
that. Determined to be on the watoh, I
returned, and gladly accepted an invita?
tion to the supper which had been pre?
pared.
"I thought you'd be hungry, sir," said
the mother.
"Yes, a long ride over you moors
makes one so."
"We haven't much to offer you. But
you are welcome to it, such us it is."
The frugal meal of bacon, eggs, and
brown bread was soon finished, and I
took my place in tho circle gathered
about the hearth-stoue, and triod to in?
duce conversation. All my attempts,
however, were futile. A very short an?
swer wan all that I could gain; and, as
one and all were constantly looking
around as for the coming of some ono
whom they expected, yet dreaded, I
coald not refrain from asking, "Are yon
looking for company to night?"
"Ho, no, but-"
Still the same confusion and sudden
breaking off.
"Perhaps your husband is-"
"No-oh ! no." And she shuddered
terribly.
"If there ie any one you fear," I con?
tinued, "I will protect yon." And I dis?
played my pistol rather ostentatiously.
"It isn't no mortal," mumbled the
grand-mother,speaking for the first time.
"It isn't no mortal; its spirits."
"Spirits ! Pshaw ! you aro not afraid
of spirits!"
"May be yon don't know nothing about
them, sir?"
I had to confess, not only my ign??
ranos, but disbelief, and was attempting
to prove logically that suoh things could
not exist, when the storm that had been
long gathering, barst iu fury, shaking the
house to the very foundations.
"There! I told you sol'" whispered
the old woman. "I knew ho waa com?
ing."
"He? Who is he?"
I was going to ask again for the father
of the ohiidren; but the pleading look of
the poor woman restrained me. I could
not believo hor guilty of any crimo, and
so waited for farther developments. And
come they did, with a vengeance.
First, tho rocking, jarring of the house
was renewed, although the storm lind
lullod fora moment; thon a dog appeared
to howl directly under tho window; then
the shutters were slammed, and the doors
opened and shut violeutly; then there
was a hollow, mooking laugh in tho
chimney; and then a thumping directly
beneath my chair, as if somo ono was
pounding with a hugo sledge.
"Don't sit there, sir ! for heavon's sake
don't!" gasped the poor mother, draw?
ing herself and children away.
"Why not?"
"It's always on that spot."
"Is there a cel'..r under the house?"
"No."
I could not understand this. I would
have sworn that I had heard ? dog, and
Bat ?r?, ??ileIV*!* thinking il. my
ohair wai .hakea so viojontly that I could
hardly keep my seat, holden asl would.
Then pleadingly tte if for mercy,'and
shrieks and groans, followed each other
in quick succession; und, braveas I sap
posed myself to bu, io y nerves bogati to
tremble, and ? cold sweat began to start
upon my forehead. In vain I tried to
reason that it could not bo from super?
natural causes; that the spirits of the
departed are not allowed to re-visit the
earth. There were the effects, whatever
the cause; and they were entirely beyond
my comprehension.
"Was there ever a murder," I was
about to ask, "committed in this house?"
when I was interrupted by tho screaming
of the younger woman.
"Murder! O, Heaven! have mercy
upon me!"
At the pruno instant tho light that stood
upon the table was extinguished, though
no one was near it; and the house shook,
and tho rappings were renewed with ten?
fold violence. Evidently, I thought, I
had touched the key-noto of tho mystery,
when I heard a terrible groan, and saw,
or thonght I saw, (which was it?) a form
rise through the floor, and stand directly
in front of me.
"Was there ever a murder committed
in this houso?" I asked ngain; though I
fairly shuddered at tho trembling and
un natural sound of my voice.
"Murder! Look I there ho stands!"
replied tho mother, prostrating herself
upon thc floor, and hiding her face.
"It's his spiritt" groaned the old
woman. "I told you he'd como."
Proof positivo this to my mind that I
was not mistaken-that others saw as I
did. Spirit or mortal, thero was some?
body there. I closed my eyes, to be cer?
tain that it was notan optical delusion;
and when I removed my hands and open?
ed them ngain, it still stood there.
It was in the form of an old man, with
long gray hair, strongly marked fea?
tures, deep-set eyes, of peculiarly cun?
ning expression-fox-like, would bo tho
most proper term; and in one hand ho
held a paper that rattled as if blown
about by a strong wind. His head was
uncovered, and his neck bare, and both
were hacked and bleeding, great drops
trickling down, and falling in a spatter
up..n the floor. Once or twice ho open?
ed his month as if to speak; but there
was only a horrible gurgling sonnd-that
which wo call tho death-rattle. How
long wo retained our relative positions, I
cannot tell. To me,.it seemed an age.
Stir I could not. I was completely under
the power of tho terrible fascination. At
length, however, the ghost, spirit, oall it
what you will, appeared to step toward
me, and nlretoh its hand as if to lay it
npon my head. Then all my manhood
deserted me. With a great groan, I
shrank back, and fell upon the floor, my
ohair being lifted by unseen hands, and
dashed down again, cracking in every
joint.
Quickly reason came to my aid, and I
rose, and looked anxiously around.
Whatever thero had been before, thero
was none in the room then except those
of mortal monld; and all was silence, ex?
cept the storm that was still raging with?
out. I scraped open tho embers, Ht the
candle, and looked at my watch, lt was
12 o'clock. The young woman and the
children were still hnddled in a corner,
and the old one rocking herself, as she
had never ceased to, so fur as I was
aware.
"Wonld the spirit return?"
Without intending to do so, I had
spoken my thoughts aloud; and the
grand-mother answered, "Not to-night, I
think. Yon had better go to sleep, sir."
Sleep! I wonld have sooner thought
of sleeping in a mad-house, with all tho
denizens free to attack mo at any mo?
ment. I knew it was vain to ask ques?
tions. I had tried that beforo and f ai led ;
so I had nothing to do but to sit aud
ponder on what I had seon. But ? was
not to be allowed to remain without sen?
sations. Scarcely half an hour passed
without the "manifestations" being re?
newed in some shape. Now it was the
howling of a dog; now the slamming of
shutters and doors; now shrieks and
groans; and now the knocking upon the
floor. No wonder that I was sick and
nervous when morning came, and gladly
escaped from the haunted house, leaving
the inmates, worn out with watching and
fear, asleep upon the floor.
Somebody more familiar with spirits
than I am must explain the matter. I
cannot; but this I know, that if, in re?
ality, it was the shade of a departed one,
I trust never to see his power exercised
again.
For many years the matter remained
in my mind in just the ututo it was when
I fled from the tumble-down houso on
tho moor. Then circumstances made me
visit the vicinity again, and I heard that
.other travelers had been similarly af?
fected, und tho matter had at length un?
dergone judicial investigation. Tho
houso hud been searched, tho floor taken
up, and two skeletons fonnd thero ; ono
apparently an old man, and tho other of
a dog. Then it was remembered that an
' old. mipor, ono .Tones, had suddenly dis?
appeared; that the occupant of tho bouse
Lad about tbut timo paid off a mortgage
upon it, and subsequently hanged him?
self.
This was enough to satisfy tho gossips;
and, if rumor bo true, never niter tho
bones of tbe murdered mun had benn
decently buried, were thc inhabitants dis?
turbed, either by ghostly sights or
sounds. To satisfy my curiosity, I rodo
hy the houso again ; but it was unoccu?
pied. Tho old woman, I was informed,
was dead; tho younger ono had fled, fear?
ing she wonld be arrested as au accom?
plice (as sba without doubt war.) and the
children were wandering, imbeeilo and
homeless, driven, an old lady told me,
"by the spirits."
