A BOHEMIAN HOUSEHOLD.
CONTINUED FRO? LAST 'MEEK.
Pally disappeared for a moment,
and soon went up the _stairs with a
burden that struck a hill to the
bones of Mr. Savage. What, then,
was this sanguinary monster? 4. de -
devourer of human legs! Gracious
Heavens! perhaps this new, dainty
was the leg of Ins beloved Fre
and these two women pitied and de-
plored, hated and abhorred, this
horrible infirmity, but, fed it una
scrupulously. A cold sweat burst
from the poies ot the horrified" .31r.
• Savage. He felt like Fatima inthe
fatal -closet of Blue Beard. ._Dearly
• had be paid for his curiosity. Al-
most a groan burst from his lips.
This, then was the burden that had
rested on 'Fred's mind. Lured to
this fearful den, fascinated and in-
thralled by these -a-omen, he had
fallen a prey to their Wantons wiles,
and now perhaps he was foully
reurdered,7his poor bones nibbled
by noxious reptiles. Mr. Savage
clinched his teeth to keep silence.
He resolved upon an immediate re7
• treat, but determined to return with
a corps ofpolioe. These criniesshordd
be known and avenged. But upon
stepping forward he faund, almost
under his feet, Mephistopheles, the
crow. •
" Caw !" clicd the creature, and
Mr. Savage started with dismay.
Caw, c.aw, caw !"
Jr. Savage endeavored to thrust
the bird aside, but it -raffled its
feathers, hopped up and down, and
screeched defiantly. •
The diviI seize the black baste,"
said Bridget from the kitaben.
" 'What's the matther with him
now r
Caw, caw, caw !" screamed the
bird, louder than ever,
" Toffy, silence there!" shouted
the monster from the upper floor. •
" Caw, caw!" shrieked Mephis-
tophles,.dashing . himself against the
closet door.
Polly appeared from her room,
pale again and composed.
T. "What is it, Nlephistopheles
she said, majestically: °
"Poor Toffy," said the musical
.voice of Estelle ; what's the maitter
Fwith poor Toffy r
ic eatNV, 'caw !" screamed the crow,
becoming more and more furious
and excited.
"I'll tell you what," said the
monster from above, "there's some,
body in that closet." -
Such a sudden scuttling of pettit
°oats then took place as was wonder-
fulto see. • Polly retreated to her
• door -way, Estelle fairly barred her -
nit' in, and -Bridget remained on the
kitchen stai r- 'A' :V.
" If it ain't a ghost I'll tackle it,"
said Bridget, "but I've known for
this many a clay that Toffy was a
divil ; and, be gotta, it , might be
the ould gintleman himself come
afther him." °
• "If you're not cowardly as well
• as lazy," said Polly to -the monster,
" you'll come down and see."
• Then a heavy, lounging step was
beard on the stairs, andtdown came
• the sanguinary villian. •
Mr. Savage knew then that his
time was come.. In' a moment a:
sad retrospection occupied his mind,
as it will that of a drowning man.
He even thought of his legs, and for
the first time in Ma life regretted
• that they were more than ordinarily
• well shaped and rposcu4ar for oue of
• Ms years. Having
bIteathed one
short prayer, 11)... Savage opened
the door, and confronted his ada
VOL• saties. •
" Murderers," he said, "do your
• worst. Add my poor body to the
rest of your 'victims. My nephew
has already fallen- a prey to your in-
famy. I am but au old man, and do
not dread to follow him."
•_Mr. Savage folded his arrits,". aud
looked about him with grim defiance.
Surprise the muster -nation fell upon
the group ef listeners_ The san-
guinary monster &sat a look upon
Polly significant, and suggestive.
He whispered something behind 14
hand.
" Poor old man !", said Polly ;

" Ab, madam," said Mr. Savage,

Mr. Savage wept to bed,! and,

valked rapidly across town,' and

Fred ran lightly up the steps, and
