black nr who frequently dl appo ired for many days at a timo yot yet fra known alway always to be within whistle of his bl master men eald said furtively that this was the heir and again there was the devil shadow in the etory story as ns it tho devil ena d be woman it Is not a predty stor a except what I 1 L told of the monster a love joys of children and though until the fourth ot september 1 I never believed what was told of tho thing and these children I 1 believe it now what they eay say Is that ii IL is so savage that not even ibe the blac servatia serf ant atit could have gone within reach of it and livel yet with charen scarce strong enough to walk eave save on eli all foum it would p ay al for hour hours oroa as LS they played but with a mothers care for theather them there Ther 0 adamen arc men nf of all ages in theao parts who hold that they were wem alu it in childhood child hod and loved it though now they bey t shudder at a picture they recall recill I 1 think but vaguely and ome a of them doubt doubtless leal aro are liars it may bo be wondered ercil why the lords of Glen glendoyle Glendo dowle wio dared let a child into the power of ono one that would havo ravo broken themselves across its knee kree and two reasons aro are alvan aln the first that it knew know when thero there were children la lit the castle and would woula have broken down walls walla to reach thee them had they not bei be i trough to it the other that camias coin pae elon slon induced the th carle earls to give ive it the only pleasure it knew of these children some were of the tenantry and others of gueste guests in the butle and I 1 have not heard of one who vrho dreaded the monster to then them it ever seems to have been loi ble me and if it halt ball of the stories bo be true they would let it toss them in the air and they hey would sit with their arms around lie frenock neck wallo it made toys for them ol 01 splinters splinter of wood or mulo barat by rat tIlL gits its chains Ine I 1 need ednot not say that cam was taken ukel to keep thew meetings from the parents of the children in la which conspiracy the children ancon clouspy joined for their pleasant prattle of their new friend allayed clon rather than thin aroused it never t h cuser rumors arose in recent limes times which whirl I 1 daresay few belle bello ed who came from a distance yet were they disquieting to mako make guests leave their eb children ildren at home and as I 1 understand under on the fourth of september 1890 several years ye bad passed since a child hd slept in the castle ua un that night there were many rueta and one child who bad been in bed tor for some hours when the thing broke loose the occasion was the coming of age of the heir and seldom I 1 suppose has there been
