THE DREADED GUEST. _ •
BY MIS S M. E. BRADDON.
A. bleak December night nearly a
hundred years ago. Hard ftost,and
a keen, bitter windblowing die
thick -drifting snow -flakes into the
faces of these few foot nztssengers
who still tramp the half. aeserted
city streets; 'a frost so hard that the
fast-falling
snow does not change fo
mid and slush all in a moment,
- after the mud manner of London
SllOW, but lies crisp and White upon .
• road and pa vemeat, ad orow'ns the
steep roof :and gables with moentain-
• ons heaps of whiteness, whiell over-
hang the parapets, and threaten ped-
estrians with the fall of miniature
avalanches.
-• There are retired nooks and 'cor-
ners of this crowded London city
wherethe snow might lie almost a--'
put's: and uncieli1ed as in some silent
Alpine gorge known only to the!
eagle and the chatnois : notably one
narrow little street, scarcely better
than a court or alley, in the region
• Of Moorfieldse--an eminently respect-
able street ia its way, tenanted by
two or three workieg jewelers, a
Dutch merchant in some small way
of trade, the chief clerk in a great
colonial house under the shadow Of
the Monument, and Dr. Prestwitch.
Ode feeble oil lamp glimmers at
the entrance to this quiet little
streere-which • ieads nowhere, by --
the -way, Dr. Prestwitch's house
facing theexplorerand barring his
faieher progrees, except through Dr.
Prestwitch's hall _ door -one dim,
blear -eyed little laMp, which does
not do much toward the illumina-
tion of the Ntreet in. a general way,.
But te-night there is the lightness
and brighttsess of the snow Which
lies thick upon the paved footway
between dits, two rows of tall, nar-
row houses, tin:marked by a ingle
footfall. Tie occupants of Little
Bell Street are a sober, steady -going
people, and there has been no traffic,
not so much as the opening or shut-
