THE MYSTERIOUS GUEST.

BY

MISS ELIZA A. DUPUY.

AUTHOR OF "ALL FOR LOVE; OR, THE OUTLAW'S BRIDE," "THE PLANTER'S DAUGHTER," "WHY DID HE MARRY HER," "HOW HE DID IT; OR, WAS HE GUILTY," "MICHAEL RUDOLPH; OR, THE BRAVEST OF THE BRAVE," "THE CANCELLED WILL," "WHO SHALL BE VICTOR." This is a weird, and powerfully told story. It is the history of but one week spent by a helpless and charming young girl, in a country house in Louisiana, in the early portion of the present century. What she found there, and what she suffered, is depicted in a most graphic manner. From the commencement to the end the interest never flags, and few who begin to read the story will be willing to lay it down till the last page is finished, and the mystery solved, which adds a supernatural terror to the life of the old tyrant, who is inaccessible to every other fear.

PREFACE.

FOR the historical portions of the following story, the reader is referred to a discussion in the New York papers many years ago, on the question of "Have we a Bourbon among us?"

Much evidence was brought forward to prove that the Rev. Eleazer Williams, a Canadian missionary, was the son of Louis XVI., and Marie Antoinette. If he had no claims to such paternity, it was at least very singular that a son of Louis Philippe should be sent across the Atlantic, for the purpose of conferring with an obscure Canadian priest.
