Mt fwcas the Mainwaring $ted in Gor.
ilofl waK. London, in the west central dis
rict, and Mf..Malnwaring, a atout gentle
man of fifty or thereabonts, was a musician j
' that is to aay, he gave Icseona in: music, was
the anther of a number of aonga and piano
fore pieces, and a performer of soma note
" . on'th violoncello. - Jhey lived in very good
afyle, aahe had tome little property in ad
4ition to his profeasional earnings-, and the
: family consisted of father and mother, a lad
at school, and a daughter Ellen, who at the
- time t m, waiting ;a.bout had just, reached
tlitf fascinating age of nineteen, .
Tot jnyslf I was studying medicine, and
expected in a few months to' pass the Col
lege and Hall, and then settled down 1n a
Country practice near jny father; I bad a

; none was k so lutimate as ,wun ine jisin-
. warings f and I must confess that the attrnc
... tloni of Ellen had to answer for. a good
deal of non-attendance upon lectures, and
,7 fur hiy presence in the family circle two or
three times a week when I was in town. Mr.
Mainwaring was an old friend of my father's,
and on that account, aud also because lm
t"jassicnatcly' fond of music, I wssa great
i- favorite of the composer's, who nsed to drag
K me off te lUtea to long so)o, when I longed
to o Ulking with Ellen, and Leering the

nothing to account for niy Vaguo horror.and

I 'called one day at the house in Gordon

Mainwanngwbo was in the passage, came

and said, " My dear Raymond, I am so glad

Mr. Mainwaring went to the piano, and 1
turned my back upon the picture vsiiile he
begah playing his new composition. It was
f beautiful air, quaint and original,' with
the repose of moonlight in it, and the Sound

and aitcomfortable feeling ot alarm in my

it, and began to believe that I had been de
ceived by some 'optical' illusion colored
light from some cause or other falling on
the picture, or a refraction from the lustres
of the chandelier. 7. - f ;
I wu very busy for about a week after the
occurrence, and bad dismissed It wholly
from my mind, when one day I found a tel

We were sitting Sogether 4he,aitesiioon('i
when her father came' in to 'tell bs about :

I mart have looked strange and startled,
for Mainwaring suddenly said-, "Are you ill,

'Ellen manifested great anxiety, and when,
her father had left th room, sho. '.inquired

I resolved to tell her all. But first glaucinff
at the portrait, I saw-that -'with, Mri.Main

' And then I told Ellen ther, slorr; of thd
first appearance, and how it had been fol
lowed by her father's accldant, and how his J
face had been disfigured exactly as I had
seen the face ot the portrait. " .'.
She glanced fearfully up at it as she said,
"Ad J papa is going to the seaside, to look
after some lodgings for us! He thinks of J
going out of townno'v for a little time and
then late in the autumn again;" ;;w"f:'

I knew that too well, but , I. felt at- the
same time that soino disaster was sure to
happen whether he went or not.
At last I said, "Ellen, if your father does
go next week, I'll gc with him ; I shall then
bo at hand if anything docs happen to him."

I returned : " so there will be no dancbrl at

,Ja the end slio contented t apd when the
appointed time canic; Mr.'Mainwaring and
I were speeding out ot Londotf in a first-"
class carriage, and swiftly leaving the city,
fast breaking into lines of light, behind us.
Re was in good spirits, congratulating him-'
self npon having me for a fellow, traveler ;
bnt it was with difficulty that I could an
swer him In the same spirit, for the memory
of the fatal, appearance made me nervous,
and filled me with gloomy forebodings.:
It was a flue night, and the rapid motion,
as we whirled along had an exhiliarating
eflbct upon., me, depressed -as I was.'. Every
small station that we passed, ' markings a
stage in our journey, gave me a sense of re
lief (my companion had got so fur -on bis
wsy in safety, and might continue so to the
end. It was strange, seeing that any acci
dent would probably !e of an nttcrlj'ovor
whclmiog nature, that I had no fear on my
own account; but tho strong possibility ot
danger for my friend precluded -the idea of
It for mywlf.
We were passing through a deep cutting.
so deep that it shut out out all tight of the
sky, when the carriage in which .e were
seated liegan to oscillate fuarfully.' Sud
denly the engine gave fhree short sharp

on calling on her solicitor, who was an old

a small dance afterwards; and ss anything

Mrs. Lee- wu kind and chattv, and the

beard a request tor music,' and some one sat
down to the "piano U play. :i 7 7
I could not see the performer, but after
few, masterly chords I was beyond measure
astonished to bear poor Mainwaring's bar
carolle, the one ha bad played to me on the
day of the first fatal appearance, and which
was always associated in my mind with the
beginning of my soirnw. I supposed it had
len pulliJied, and it was sviiTeiitly a -favorite
of (ho lady who was at the pian, for
she played it with great feeling and expres
sion. ; . ;' " 'J 'm-
I bent forasrd al the curtain till I could

went forward and looked at Ellen. She sat
quite still; her face was death-like, and her
small white hands were tightly "claspediXaa
if the nails would be foreed into the flesh.
