A log cabin of two rooms was the 'home of a fantily of six persons, father, mother, and four sallow, tow headed children. Two Northern tourists, exploring the coun- try on horse back, drew rein` one day in front of the cabin as the members of this family were sitting down to their supper, just within the open door. Good evening, called the gentle- man, from his saddle; can I get some water here for this lady ?

A piteous sigh, seeming to come from direotly behind me, sent a cold shiver over me. I attempted to rise, but found myself unable to move. I was as lifeless to all appearance as the chair wherin I sat, though I was conscious uf all my surroundings.
