THE COMING OF THE MUSE.
The shy muse, rarely seen, at time
Floats down, but will not stay,
But hides her unembodied rhymes
Far, far away.
From out the blank unpeopled page
There shines no vision fair,
And on the poet's noble rage
Broods cold despair.
In vain to toil, in vain to strive.
Efforts and vows are naught.
No favoring Impulse comes to drive
The lagging thought.
Then sudden." mid the darkling chilL
Dead hope and strivings vain,
A ghostly radiance seems to fill
His heart and brain.
Far off and thin, translucent, white.
His straining eyeballs trace,
Half hidden, a phantom of delight,
A sweet veiled face.
And straight, 'tis life, 'tis youth, 'tiaspring
That comes his toil to cheer.
Blithe fancy spreads a joyous wing,
"The muse is here!"
O'er foam flowered wave, o'er enow clad u
She floats, or vernal grove.
His happy eyes warm teardrops flll
Of faith and love.
Now from the sunset beckons she.
Now from the dawn's clear rose.
And sadly now, now joyously,
Sings as she goes.
Now through the thick life laden sir
Along the city street
Fleeting she draws divinely fair
His faithful feet.
Now by the palace, now the jail;
Lives gilded, lives undone,
Lives laughter lit or those that wail,
She hovers on,
And with her takes the poet's mind
And heart and soul and wilL
Where'er she leads a wandering wind,
He follows, follows etill 1

"What is the 'Luck of Lodore,
Watty?"
A look of terror overspread Tthe
face of old Watty Gibson, the bntler
at Lodore castle, when he heard the
question which his young master
put to him just as dinner was ended.
Bending over the laird's chair, he
replied in a low tone so that none of
the numerous guests should hear:
"Wheesht, laird, dinna speir, and
for the sake o' a' that's gude dinna
ask to see it."
But his words had been overheard
by the next neighbor to Laird Henry
at the dinner table, and he said:
"Family freits again, Watty ; good
heavens, what a lot of rubbish our
forefathers did believe! What with
family ghosts in one gallery and
family skeletons in another and
'Lucks of Lodore' hidden in places
you wot not of you have a lively
prospect before you, Henry, my boy.
Why, your house is searcely habit
able. I know I wouldn't stand it."
"What would you do, Jasper
Keith "
"I would let in the light of com
mon gense on the whole bag and
baggage of them, and I think in the
end you will find your worthy fore
fathers have been kept out of the
best part of their mansion by a few
enterprising rats and mice."
"Jasper Keith, you know you are
talking nonsense. You are merely
egging my cousin on to attempt the
solution of the Lodore mysteries to
gratify your own curiosity. Henry,
do not be influenced by him," re
torted beautiful Jean Arniston, who
sat near.
"My fair cousin, whatever you
say must, of course, be right. A
pretty woman is always right. But
nevertheless I will stick to. the rats
and mice theory until I am convert
ed to a better," was Jasper Keith s
supercilious reply as the company
eft the dinnertable with the ladies.
'Come, Henry, let's take our wine
in the smoking room, and Clifford
and I will give you your revenge for
thr' 200 we won from you last
night."
"I dinna like young Laird Henry's
look," said the old butler when he
imagined he was alone with the oth
er servants clearing away the dinner
things. "He's like ane that's fey,

brawled and fret ted down the ravine
below the castle, the building was a
landmark in the district for miles
round. The scenery in the neighbor
hood was stern and forbidding.. Bock
and moor, heath and wood, ecaur
and cliff were in evidence every
where. Yet escape from the glen
and immediately one was amid idyl
lic pictures of pastoral peace and
agricultural fertility. x
For centuries the Arnistons of Lo
dore had been the hereditary lords
of the district on all sides of the
castle. About the middle of last cen
tury the bead uf the family had been
one Stephen Arniston, who lived to
a patriarchal old age, both loved and
respected and at length died, leav
ing one child, the beautiful Jean.
The estate, being entailed, passed to
the nephew of good old Stephen, a
young man of considerable promise,
but whose estimable traits of ami
ability and generosity were sadly
discounted by a certain headstrong-
ness and obstinacy of temperament
which, united to an extravagant love
of flattery, rendered him an easy
prey to any adventurer. To the gen
tle Jean he bad been betrothed at an
early age. Though during a lengthy
residence with his regiment in the
low countries he was reported to
have contracted vices of the most
degrading type, it was hoped that
the infiunoe of his gracious and no
ble minded fiancee would wean him
from such habits.
Great had been the rejoicings at
the castle over the arrival of Laird
Henry to enter into his new posses
sions. Attended by several friends.
among others Jasper Keith, be had
reached Lodore and had been warm
ly welcomed by Dame Helen Arnis
ton and her beautiful daughter Jean
But more than one sharp eye noted
that Jean's welcome was rather
from the lip than the heart Hand
some and debonair tbtmgh Henry
was, there was an undercurrent of
insincerity in his manner that caused
her to recoil from him and in secret
to weep bitterly that he to whom
her heart was already given, her
other kinsman, Archie Rubislaw,
the only hope of a poor but noble
family in the district, had not been
chosen as her husband.
The short afternoon of a Novem
ber day was drawing to its close.
The weather was dall, lowering and
stormy. Heavy clouds were banking
themselves up on the southwestern
horizon, while the wind, with an
angry, sibilant shriek, was causing
the boughs of the fir and pine trees
that clothed the sides of the ravine
to toss their long, gaunt arms to the
sky as though in piteous protest. A
tempest of no ordinary magnitude
seemed brewing.
Apparently Jasper Keith's pro
posal to spend the afternoon at the
gambling table had not been re
ceived with favor. The party bad
gone outside, but teemingly the
bleak prospect without was driving
them homeward. As tbey came
along the approach leading to the
main entrance Henry was asked
somo question regarding certain
rooms in the castle. He bad been
unable to give a satisfactory answer,
so when they met the old butler at
the dqor the laird eaid, "Watty,
didn't you tell me I had seen all the
rooms in the castle t
' Deed, aye, laird, and so y e ha ve. "
"Not every room, I think," re
in aside him in the ha' last nicht.
Hefc far owre chief wi' that Jasper plied Keith dogmatically.

to his sentiments from his fellow with his grewsome, Mephistophelean
servants which he was always wont laugh
to hear a bitter, sardonic laugh fell
on his ear. He started, to see the
man of whom he had been speaking
standing beside him, having re
turned to the dining room to recover
a paper he had left behind.
"Don't like me, eh, Watty t Look
too much like his satanic majesty to
please -your fastidious taste, eh!
Sorry I cannot change my features
to oblige you
An exclamation of horror buret
from the old butler. He could scarce
ly find words to dissuade Henry
from ever thinking of entering the
rooms.
"Ye maunna gang in there, Lo
dore. It's as, muckle as yer life's
worth. The rooms hae been sealed
up for mair than a hunner years. I
had noticed with pain that Henry
drank far more wine than was good
for him. Jasper Keith sat by him
and took care that his cup should
never remain long empty. The fun
waxed fast and furious, and the
toasts followed rapidly one after an.
other, as though by their merrimeot
the company would drown the sound
of the thunder, tb wind and the
rain that raged without
At last Jasper Keith rose. Heihed
his baleful smile over tho whole cir
cle of guests, snd as be raised the
wine cup over his head he cried : "I
bavri one more toast tpopoee. 'We
have drunk the health of the Laird
of Lodore. Let us drink drink
'prosperity to the Lock of Lodore,'
and let the laird honor the toaBt by
drinking to it from the ' Luck of Lo
dore itself."
From the lips of am Helen, her
daughter and old Watty expressions
of horror felt
"Stop, Henry I Do not agrew to it
the honor of the bouse may pay
for it!" cried the beautiful Jean
pleadingly.
"ImuatseeitI Watty, brinK the
Luck of Lodore.' "
For an instant the old butler hesi
tated; then, seeing hit master wta
in earnest, he slowly left the room.
After some delay he returned, bear
ing with him a curiously shaped
box. This he unlocked, and then,
after stripping off several coverings,
he exhibited to the gaxe of the com
pany sn antique crystal goblet, curi
ously out and with certain strange
hieroglyphics inscribed around it.
"That is the 'Luck o' Lodore,'
Maister Henry, said to have been
gien to ane o' your ancestors by
the great wizard, Michael Scott Bo
bang as it is keepit safe, so lang sail
there be ane o' the name o' Arniston
alive-to heir the estates. For five
hunner years it has been preserved. "
"Indeed!" sneered Keith. "And
the stability of the great bouse of
Lodore rests on so feebla a founda
tion as a pfeceof brittle glass ! Stuff
and nonsense I"
"Fill it with wine, Watty, and
then pass it round, that each gueet
may say he or Bhe has taken a draft
from the 'Luck of Lodore.' "
The old butler did so with- trem
bling hands and then returned the
goblet to Henry, who drained the
contents that remained.
"What a piece of degrading auper-
stitionl Can it be possible that any
one believes that the present family
would be either the better or the
worse of that goblet being broken!"
was Jasper Keith's remark as Henry
stood holding it in bis hands. The
fumes of the wine were mounting
into the young man a head, and the
spirit of bravado got the better of
him.
"You are right Keith!" he cried
"We'll see whether th 'Luck of
Lodore' is a true or false prophet."
With these words he dashed the
crystal goblet on to too floor. A
shriek broke from all present. Dame
Helen covered bar f face with ber
hands. Jean darted forward toward
Henry, while poor old Watty, with
a cry of anguish, rushed to the spot
where the goblet bad fallen. At that
moment a tremendous peal of thun
der literally enooit toe castle, as
though in horror of the laird's ac
tion. A mighty rushing wind also
seemed to pass through its galleries
and corridors, and borne on its wings
like the wail of a lost spirit came the
words," Doomed, doomed, doomed I"
Yet through it all, with his cold,
supercilious smile on his lipa. eat
Jasper Keith. "One superstition thel
less," was his sole remark.
All was confusion now Watty had
found the goblet, and, singularly
enough,' almost intact The slender
stem alone was broken, but so that
it admitted of repair. Yet no sooner
had Jean perceived this "than she
said in a low voice to her mother:
"It is the stem that has enspped.
Henry is doomed.
But the old butler, without farther
remark, replaced the "Luck of Lo
dore" in its casket and bore it away.

Old Watty was perfectly stupefied

The gentlemen drew their iworda,
and, lighting a couple of flambeaux,
Henry motioned the boiler to lead

At length the long deserted suit of
apartments was reached. The storm

and the thunder crashed and re
echoed through the long gallery

corner a lady's slipper, beautifully

room stood an immense bedted c f
very coetly workmarmhip, but the
curtains were closely drawn all
round. In front of tbe bed lay two
