Mr. Barrington waa now convinced that Walton '• per- « iccutor form of Haiti and blood, inipired by malignant and marderou. hate. Cuplcaiant as the thoory might be, it waa better than Walton's notion that it wa* an evil spirit, ami ho thought if j lie could convince the latter of Uili, j ; he would remove at least a very hn- 1 ] l-ortant part of the trouble.

I It was a beautiful day when they . raicbed Halifax, and the usual crowd I of idler* atood on the quay to recti vx ; tlm paaacngcr*. They landed, and — ! Mr. Harrington walked a few paces I ahead of the captain. A* be maile his | — way through tlm crowd a small man touched him by the arm and said, Tlie gentleman is walking too fast; t lie wiilloae bii lickfricndin the Ihrumr. 1 for, j-y my faith, tho poor fellow *orm< p olmoit faiiiiing. " k, Mr^Jhrirlugtou turned anil tcokul. pa It" wa* true; Waltou had turned j-alo a- a. death. He haalcned to hia .vide, to "" My dear i.'aptaln, are you ill?'" Ikjo naked, anxiously. *, The question waa unheeded, and cc bencu wa* twice repeated, when Wnl it; ton ttammered: ut " I aaw him— I aaw him!" k> " Him — tlm wretch! Who— where —when did you are him!"' cried Mr. is j Harrington, looking around him. in j "I aaw him— but he i* gone," rely | pealed Walton, faintly, v. "Hut where— where?" exclaimed id Harrington. "For (iml'i mke «]tcnk: I, "It i* but IhU moment— here," vai.1* d "Hut what did lie look like— whaf" hatl he mi— what did he wear? tjulek • r- — quick!" urged Mr. UarringtoiL ready ' m to plunge late the crowd nod collar r, the offender i- "He touched your arm— lie spoke , n to you, and he painted to me God l-e mcreiful to me! there Is no escape,"

"Oh, my friend, it won't do,'" said Walton, wiui the faltering voire ami i, ghostly look of unowho has been stui!- _ nod by some mortal shock; "there i» j no um contending with il Whatever < it is, the dreadful association between j ' y mc an^tselfis nowcstoblUbcd; 1 shall a never escape— never— ncecr!'' v "Nonsense, nonarnse," replied Barn ringlon; "d-m't talk so.

To guard against all ' . room for the exercise of fancy. Walton ' i waa directed to confine himself to the i I house and to the yard, which had a 1 ; high fence whose gates were kept j « locked. This precaution would* secure ' ' him against the casual appearance of i; one wham he might confound * I with Ok spectre which, as the physician maintained, his imagination re- » cugnolaed in every one who bore any 1 : similarity of she or shape. It wa* « that a few months' secTtuion ji j would stop this aerie* of terrible Imag- V : inalioni, and eventually iireak up the g j aaaoctations which lin-l confirmed the k ' suppaeed disease.
