UNCLE HUGH’S SECRET. ‘The way was long and tedious, the day warm And oppressive, and I wearied almost beyond en- @uranee. It Uncle Hugh had had his way, every ‘isitor to Mount Graha® would have come all the Way by carriage, but fortunately it was beyond even Lis power toenforce that.~ What he could Go be had done, nowever. Several years before, there had been a prospect of having a railway ‘Nation within ten mules of the place. The very idea made Uncle Hugh frantic. Tooth and nail ‘he fought 1t, and, alas, was successful. The rail- Way was turned aside, and though the struggle had left him straightened in circumstances, almos impoverished, Ido not believe that he had ever felt one regret. As the carriage swayed and folved along, and the cid coachman nodded on his box, with full faith in the time-tried Mdelity of nis fat horses, I tried to beguile the tedium of the way by recalling the incidents of tbe one suinmer which I had spent With Uncle Hugh in my childhood. Mount Graham was a quaint, old-fashioned Place, built long before the Revolution, and the Queer stories which were told about it had been the romance of my childhood. Of course it was Peopied by ghosts of every shape and hue. There Mnust have been a regular colony of ghosts, for there was one devoted to every spot in the house ‘There was the spectral car nage, h Was heard, but never seen, Lo stop at he front dou- in the’ middie of the’ night.

Indians nd negroes stalked promiscuously through the passages; for both Indians and negroes pad played In the eariy history of the house, It Was before the Revolution, when the country Was Sul ap wobroken forest, that old Colonel Graham conceived the idea of Building a homestead here. He went himseli to select a site, and leit a gang of Diack men behind him, with provisions enough to last through the summer and autumn. But, aias! the winter came down that year with unprece- dented suddenness and severity, shutting In the for black men to what seemed certain death. ainly were exploring parties sent to their relief. ‘The cruel coid bailed all efforts, and the negroes were, perforee, leit to their fate. In the spring Col, Grabam went to the scene of the tragedy. He had expected to hear only the moan of the forest and the dasa of the waterfall. He beard these, indeed, but mingled with them were the ring of hammers and the clamor of cheerful voices. He had expected to find ten moidering skeletons, perhaps with the mark of the cruel tomahawk Upon them. He found, instead, ten of the fattest ‘and jolliest darkies that his eyes had ever rested upoa. Insteud of fighting the Indians they fraternized with them, and as soon as the Weather wed red and Diack men together went cheer- fully to Work upon the new house. And that was why ghostly negroes and Indians stalked amicably Ubrough ball and curridor. The house was a plain one enough—a long, low, rambling building, with a pizza whose roof ex- tended adove the second-story windows, wonder- | Tully shaded with grape-vises and trumpet-creep- tra, Inside all was queer and cramped, sccordiug to our modern ideas.

The ceilings were low, some plain, others crossed by huge beams. ‘There were deep cush- foned window-seats ia the small-paned windows, Which stil bore upon their faithtul transparent Dreasis the name of by-gone belles. “Miss Polly” and “Miss Betty” bad been dust for many a long year, Dut the bames which their admirers had scratched upon the fragile glass were as fresh as the day they were cut.

But, al! they was beautiful lilies.” Andrew’s story, instead of clearing up, had only deepened tue mystery of the spot, aud a weird and uncanny feeling crept over we as I turned away. In my chiidbood I bad never fully realized we peculiarities which had given Uncle Hugh his Teputauion of being @ little cracked, Looking at hit now with eyes purged from their childish fums, I couid readily Understand how he might be so regarded, His horror of anything ilke innova- UO Was Certainly wo.derful.

Of course it Was useless to suggest such horrors as gas or kerosene; but at one tume a void effort Was made to effect a compromise, A tor With some regard for his eyesight brough* with bim as a present to Uncle Hugh an old-fashioned astral lamp, in which sperm oll burned with a villanous odor.’ In spite of its antiquity, however, Uncle Hugh Was made very uneasy about it. Pouteness caused him to tolerate it during his gues.’s stay, but not an mstant longer. Hardly had the car- riage borne him from the door than Uncle Hugh turned with a beaming face, crying: “Thank the Lord the villain has gone! Now forareturn to the good od ways!” And straightway the lamp Was banished to the lumber-room, tue windows flung Wide to purify th room, and’ the wax can- dies, with their glow-worm lignt, again reigned supreme. ‘the winter came soon and cold that year. It ts hardly necessary to say Uuat not a lump of coal was ever burned in Uncle Hugi’s domains. It was a sight lo sce the great kitchen with its huge open firepiaces, where the monster logs Were consumed, the cranes, spits, and bake-pans, and (ne queer | Oven on the side of tue culmney-place.

Colder and colder grew the weather, and vainly I strove to fancy myself thor- oughly warmed by the ruday glare. “Uncle Hugh,” I said at leugth, rendered des- perate by despair, “why do you not burn coal?” Tknew that I ran the risk of offeuding Uuele Hugh, but Iwas by no means prepared for the Scorn’and indignation in his faee as he dropped the Rambler aod turned upon me, “Aud Way shoud I vurn coal, young lady?” he asked in @ cool, incisive tone which was Worse than an outburst of rage. “Is not the fuel that my fathers used good enough for me? If tne Lord bad meant coal vo be used by man, would He havesuut it up in the bowels of the earth? He has put our enemy under our feet, and there let it stay. There let it stay!” be cried again, stamp- og ‘his foot as if he were trampling upon the very dragon himself, while a curious blaze of tri- umpb shoue in his eye. I stared at bim mutely for a moment, too much astonished to speak. Then the memory of tue soft encircling Warmth of the coal firesin my own home came over me once more, and urged me on. “All modern ways are not barbarous,” I per- sisted. “When the Lord was ready for men to uss coal He brought it to ligat. If you would but try Monce you would never go back to wood. It is cheaper, too.” “It it were cheap as dirt it should never be burned in my house!” cried Uncle Hugh, hotly. Then, mastering Mis emotion with an evident effort, Le added, with his old-time court sy: “I crave your pardon, Elinor. These subjects I would willingly avoid; but this I will say: Your last argument is ag” for cheaper it is uot, The wood ba ed ut bOW far must the coal be fetched?” I had forgotten that point, and vexation at my stip, jolted to the effeets Of "the miserable old, nearly got the better of my temper. I tried tO turn it Off with a joke. “You have only to dig up your buried treasures”—but I stop short in dismay. For (nucle Hugh had started to his feet, his face white, als eyes glaring, his balr tairly bristiing in spite of his tgutly ted queue. “What! what!” he stammered, scarcely able to ‘Speak. “Who has been telling you?
