Aud grasping her band tightly I arose and said, "Cuincl" With her hand trembling yet confiding ID mine 1 led her lorth into a ili'serl place. Across the great waste of sand we walked on and on through the gloom. And iu all that desert place we w. re alone. ller journejing thus for months, which were like years, (be woman withdrew her hand from mine, saying, "But what ice is this?" And I aiismrcd: "This is the world in which there is no mutual love. Hire live ail those who do nut love and ull those whose love is uot returned." But these people where ate they?" ho asked. "They swarm about J'ou ill thousands," I replied. "Yet all who dwell here are doomed to feel alone, 'Phis loncliues., ! ciuscs that peculiar lunging look in peo ple's eyes.

"This is the Well uf Tears," I an swered, "tears shed by those who live in this world weeping because uf the lotieliuess and the longing. " But all these people," she said, "all those who are longing and weeping utound us, these whom we cannot see because we are blinded, I suppose, by our own tears, what are ihey doing?

I wi I rem du here, accept ing this d-srrt as the only woild, and live on in my loneliness and longing " Thensadly I would reply: "None who begiu the search is permitted to abandon it. All limit blunder uu. None may pause." She shuddered, an l again I led b. r on till one day in my great love and sorrow I took lu-r boldly in uiy uruis and fulding her to me said: "All, if you eiuld only luve tue, I could iheu relieve you from this barren waste, fur I luve you so." Site lifted her head from uiy shoulder, and luukitio into my eyes smiled and said "You ure blind." Tbeu hastily brushing, away the loneli uess and the longing from my own eyes, I oould see that she, too, an longer foil alone, anil that the louging lu her eyes had turned to laughter. And suddenly the gloom began to lise, levt-aliiig u place allied with a gl -ii. Us light. Aud out of the vast si lence I biurd the murmur of multitu dinous Vi.iei.s, .dl saving, "I love yuu so."

Thus it Holy rood tin' ghost of the luunlered llizziu is supposed to prometia le the glo nuy old galleries after dark, and it is noteworthy that whenever any incmber of the reign ing family is forced to spend a night in the capital ol Scotland a hotel is prel'eired to the nyal palace.

It is ull very well to laugh at this, but servauis do not give up fat places, nor do titled ladies i. f limited means ri-limpiish su great and highly priz.'i a privilege as free apartments in u royal palace, for the sake of mere fancy or imagination. Fur ther, it may be mentioned that there are official records to show that in the reign of King , I lines II the corporation of the city uf London paid lor 1 'J. (Mill masses to be said fur (he rcpnse of the soul of Queen Anne Itolcyu, with the object of "laying" her ghost. Unfortunately these musses do not seem lo have been effica cious, for Queen Anne's specter eoutinucs to haunt the palace to this day. The most uncanny of all the royal palaces in this respect, is however, that of Stockholm, which has been haunted tu such an extent since the ussassinatioii within its piecincts uf King liu-tawis III that twice it has been cutirely r.izai to the ground and reconstructed, with the object uf dislodging the supposed ghost. All, however, has been without avail. The ' little red tu in," who used to haunt the Tu'leries before it was de stroyed by lire at the lime of the eotu luuue, and bis twin brother, who still uppears periodically as the precursor of death at the grand ducal palace uf llarui stadt, arc too well known lo need more than passing reference here, ami the same may be said uf tile "while lady" of the imperial palace at Vienna and of her similarly attired sister at the old ruyal pilaee of Berlin. .Much has been written about ibis "white lady" of the lloheii zollerus, concerning the authenticity ol whose ippcaranees the late Kiiiperor Frederick collected u wonderful array of records of ihe most convincing nature.
