"I remembered that a stranger had called the day during my absence, who my secretary had informed me, had shown a surprising familiarity with my private plans. "'1 think,' I replied, coldly, `that you favored inc with a call this after- noon, but whatever your business then or now, you will have to defer it for a few days. i do not know how you gained admittance to these apartments at this hour, but 1 will see that you are escorted from them without delay,' and as I spoke 1 rose to ring for a servant. "He ;anticipated my intention, how- ever, and with the agility of a panther sprang noiselessly across - the room, intercepting me, at the same time rais- ing a large, English bull -dog revolver, at line. "'Not so fast, not so fast,' he said, softly, 'you can afford to wait a little; i have waited for years." "1 stood as though rooted to the spot, gazing at him with a sort of fas- cination. As he emerged into the light there was something almost familiar in his features, and yet something horri- bly incongruous and unreal. 1115 eves glowed like living lire, his soft, low tones reminded ane of nothing so much as the purring of a tiger; while the smile that played about his lips WAS more terrible than anything I had ever seen on human face. It was ten tines more fearful than the muzile of'the re- volver confronting me, and seemed to freeze the very blood in my veins. "'You take a base advantage; I airs unarmed,' I sneered, "'i knew too well with whom 1 had to deal to come unarmed,' he replied; 'though this,' and he lowered the re- volver, 'this is not the sort of weapon you would employ,—a thrust in the dark, a stab in the back, that is your style, coward" " `1 demand an explanation of this,' 1 said, "He folded his arms, still retaining his hold upon the weapon, as he an- swered, 'Explanations will follow in due time; but surely, on the eve of the fif- tieth anniversay of such a life as yours congratulations are first in order. Al- low me to congratulate you, Hugh Main waning, upon the success which has attended and crowned the past twenty - ave years of your life! upon the rich harvest you have reaped during ail tltese years; the amassed wealth, the gratified ambitions, the almost illimi- table power, the adulation and hom- age,—all so precious to your sordid soul and for which you have bartered honor, happiness, character, all, in in short, that life Is worth, Standing, as you do to -night, at the fiftieth milestone on life's journey, i congrat- ulate you upon your rocellections of the past, and upon your anticipations for the future, as you descend to an unhonored and unloved old age!' fres • "Every word ,was heaped with scorn, THOMAS GUNDRY Live stock and general Auction 'e' GODERIOH ONT D at a, stole sales a special%, 05 Get .i Niaw ERAoaloe, Clinton, prt,m 1.7 attend to.
