'Well, we arrived at Porthpenll,
wyd At last, and found our cottage
all grit fancy painted it, and more.
It over beautifully situated and no
mistake, standing by itself, and
overlooking a placid creek a furlong
wicle, which wound its way in a
grttcefktl curve het ween lofty cliffs;
CQYQ.red with a wealth' of bloomiug
heather and gorse for three quartets
of a mile inland. Mr. Jones (alias
X'Z), a pleasaut-looking old bicho-
"lor of fifty, was there to receive us,
:and did tho honors that night with
great courtesy, leaving ou the fol -
•lowing morning, after showing us
round generally, and seeing that we
were comfortably settled in our tem-
porary abode, •
Of the first week of our stay there
is not much to record except the
usual series- of- seaside enjoyment=
the perfection ofbathing in water
as clear as crystal -boating and fish-
ing of every kind in. abundance,
plenty of beautiful scenery to keep
my wife's brush abundantly em-
ployed (Laura is loud of sketching)
plenty of bright shells ou the
beach to be gathered diligently by
the assiduous illtu'riaremmer for
Johu juniors's delectation—in
short, everything calculated to sat-
isfy and 'delight people who can
enjoy lite under conditious of
Arcadiau and primitive simplicity.
I will aotdwell ou these eveuts, but
hasten on to the climax of my
story.
On the eighth day, I think it was,
after our arrival, my wife, who had
gone down to the village according,,
to the established usage of Porth-
penllwyd, to inquire for letters at
the pestoifice, came rushing into the
fw� house in a breathcess state of excite-.
recut. "0 John, who do you think is
in the village?"
"Well, I should imagine, the
Shah of Persia at least, or perhaps
the Prime .Minister," I suggested.
Don't be provoking. No; Ethel
Austin is here. She came last
night, and was being drivou to St.
David's. She has an aunt living
there. But the horse fell coming
down the steep hill leading into the
village, and she and the driver were
pitched out. Fortunately, they
were more frightened than. hurt;
but the shafts were broken and they
couldn't go on ; so she stayed at the
inn all night." •
"Dear me, whut a thrilling ad-
venture V'•
'
"Yes; and I've made her tele-
graph to her aunt to say, she is not
coming just yet; as she has found
us ; aud silo is to stop with us• for
a few days. She oar have the mid-
dle room. Won't it be jolly to
have dear Ethel hero!" •
"Oh, very, my dear. She will
be nice company for you. But
who'd have thought of her turning,
up in this unexpected kind of way !"
This Miss . Austin had been my
wife's bosom friend at a London
bearding -school, and they had kept
up the intimacy loyally ever since,
She wasnow about eight -and -twen-
ty, aud being of a warm-hearted
sentimental nature, and lapsed, for
want of a husband, into that gush-
ing type .of tender womanhood
which indulges in idealistic theories
of life, and is fond of discoursing
largely about ,"sympathies, and
"affinities," and ",.ttt,tactions," and
other subtle agencies of the same
mysterious kind. She was also a
firm believer in spiritualism. I
often used to wonder how her in -
,tense and effusive nature, which
poured 'itself forth . poriodicall
sheets of deusely .written note
paper, could receive enough nour-
ishment from Laura's brief matter-
of-fact epistles to keep alive the
sacred flamo of affection between
them in her heart. But such, it
seemed, was the case ; and Laura
was, I know,Gglad to see her. So
about noon, her travelling trunk
arrived at the cottage, followed
shortly by its owner, who received
a very hearty welcome from both of
us, Laura declaring that she would
have to stay a fortnight at the least.
And in this way Mise Austin be-
came a temporary Isle Mimi. Of 011r
small and happy family.
As I said, that lady. was a
,firm believer in spii'itualisln,
of which• we soon found that she
was a most aggressively zealousad-
vocate
vocate ; nor was she backward in
proclaiming her views for our edi-
fication both in season and out of
season. It amused Ilio to argue
with her and draw her out upon
this subject, she used to get so
eloquent and enthuiastic.
Ono evoning—sho had been with
us about a week, perhaps—we wore
sitting, wo three, in the cozy little
front sitting room of the cottage,
looking out upon the sea in the
twilight: It was a glorious night;
its the harvest moon just rising
above the Gribin hill opposite
streamed in through the windows

"You may sneer es lnuoh as you
like," she was saying,'.' and mar-
shal your waterialtistio arguments
with alt your 411ity ; but you will
never persuade me that the dwellers
in the spirit -world do not still feel
an interest iu tho scenes and asso-
ciations with which they were once
familiar. \Vhy, then, should they
not be able, being uutraminelled by,
any physcial restrictions, to roturu
and hold converse with those who
were and aro dear to them,
and to make their presence known
by certain external and material in
dicetions 1"
"Well, it rather puzzles rue --it
may be my obtuseness, of course—
butl can't quite slake out how a spirit
can make a noise, for instauco, by
rapping its shadowy knuckles ou a
substantial wooden table; or what
interest a staid and solemn ghost
can take in playing frivolous pranks
with fiddlestriugs and elate Pen-
cils,"
"Scoff away now, you unbeliev-
er," she retorted ; "perhaps even
you will bo convinced sorno>day.
"Pooh—never. You niay bo sure
that"—My sentence was cut short
by a crash of falling crockery, fol-
lo}tred by a scream from the region
of the pantry, and the next moment
the door of the sitting room was un
ceremoniously burst open by 11.[ar-
iaretumer, who appeared witli a loulc
of terror ou her white face and a
caudle iu her trembling hand.
"0 master, utnssus !" site gasped,
"that I should ha' lived to seo this
night."
"What's the matter ?" wo chorus-
ed.
"There's evil sperrets in the pan•
try, she said, in a horror-struck
tone of voice.
"!Rubbish !" I oxclsiuled, "Tho
only spirits in the pantry I know of
are good spirits—Ilolno. & Brindlo's
best Scotch iu fact"—forciug a joke,
"\fariareinmar," I proceeded stern-
ly, "If you have been meddling
with those spirits, and lot one of the
bottles fall"—
"No, no, ne," interrupted she
eagerly ; "net them sporrets at all,
but there other sperrets what Miss
talks about, what raps and makes
noises. So true as I'nl a -standing
on this blessed spot; just now as I
was a-earriying a plate into the pan-
try, I heated soinothin' go rap, rap,
rap, like that three times. It did
give me such a term, and tho plate
dropped from my hand, and went
ell to'snissh on the floor. "If I'd
a-kuowu as WO was a -corrin' to a
house with ,uncanny things like
that in it"—the sentence termin-
ated in a suggestive pantonine,
Mariaretn ner's feelings woro too
strong for words.
Miss Austin looked very much
interested. and turned to me with
an unmistakable expression of tri
umph iu her face. Laura was plain-
ly alarmed ; and I must confess to
a momentary fooling of "creepiness"
myself. Sitting in the dark and
talking about ghosts is calculated
to give an eerie feeling even to the
most strong minded- of sceptics; and
Mariareminer's interruption had
certainly come with an appropriate-
ness which was, tosay the least of it,
startling. I tried, however, to let
no trace of my weakness appear in,
my voice as 1 banteringly remarked
to Miss Austin : ''1 hope .you aro
pleased with the e:'•'ects of your
preaching. Here's ti! :ria Emma so
affected :by your c'a < •rvations of
spirit.rapping and alt things, that
she can't go into the tntry with-
out breaking plates to. .r tho influ-
ence_ of the delusion t:: t she hears
ghostly noises.
"I•Iacln't wo bettor i1; e.stig;ite fol'
ourselves," said Miss Austin in a
tone of Mild coufidenco, "before wo
pronounce it to bo a delusion ?"
was evideut vis from her manner
that she really believed this to bo
a supernatural demonstration for
my benefit to vindicate the truth
of the manifestatious which I had
been deriding.
"By all means," I said, with an
assumption of eagerness. "We'll
•all go together."
Mariarommer protested at first
that nothing on earth should induce
her to again visit that awful spot,
but finally acquiesced, "if Missns
would go first," which Laura hero-
ically consented to do.
So wo marched in procession to
the pantry. I took the lead armed
with the kitchen, poker (this was in
defereuce to the combinedentreaties
of my wifo.and the servant, though
for my part, I could not see what
advantage a poker could be iu the
event of an encouuter with a ghost;
but it seemed to give thein a feeliug
of security) ; Miss Austin ernes
next, with Laura and Mariaomnter
bringing up the rear. When we
got there, everything was quiet and
in its normal condition. Nothing
revealed' itself -to the eye or eaL to
•indi;ate the presence of anything
out of the common. Nothing could
have looked more prosiac and of
this ivorld—Itatr the empty beer..
bottles and the cold remains of the.
shoulder of mutton we had had for
FYI M'.ones .

'syr lookiOg abject In view; to niy
thinking, was a loan fowl of si»aggy
aspeot vvhill hung doJea.tod'ly from
a pothook in the ceiling, and cer-
tainly presented a very ,unsubatan-
tial appearance, viewed in counoc-
tion with tho thought of its pre•
sensation at table in tno near future
to satisfy the needs of four hungry
people.
''Well," I laughed' •'I hope your
minds aro at )rest now. There's
nothing here, you see.—Silly girl !"
—to Mariaromwer—"what a fright
you've given yourself and us about
nothing."
"Indeed, sir, it was something,"
she protested.
"Nonsense ! Mere fancy. If
there are any spirits here," I wont
ou boldly, "I call upon them now to
signify their presence in the usual
way—aud bo quick about it, too, or
they won't have us fur an audience."
Peep, rap, rap, rap; followed by a
soft of scraping, creaking noise, was
the imwoiliate response, as if in
direct auswer to my audacious chal-
lenge.
My heart jumped to my throat.
The women soroarnod ; ?tfariaretn-
ruer fled precipitately ; Laura stood
her ground, clinging desperately to
Mis Austin, who turned to nee and
said solemnly :
"Ate you convinced now ?'
"Not. yet. I trust 800 awl hear
more. It may be only the Mice." I
said feebly, and fully conscious that
tho explanation sounded lame and
inadoquato.
"Mice don't make a noise like
that," said she. "I ant Bore" she
went on with conviction—"1 alts
sure it is a messenger from the un-
s@OU world. I wide 1 \vete a med-
ium, oud knew how to address it."
"So do I, if it would lead to a
solution of this mystery."
"Hark ! there it is again."
And again we heard the saute
noise as before, an irregular knock-
ing, as of some metallic substance,
which produced a resounding hollow
kind of sound, varied at intervals
by the saln0 rasping, scraping noise
which we heard at first,"
"Oh, John, let's gu away from
this horrid house at once !" inl1)10t4.-d
my wife, \with a stumble in her
voice.
"Wo can't go to -night auywny-
my dear, and this knocking i; harts,
lass enough, in all conscience,".1
said, my courage beginning to re-
turn. "Anel if hiss Austin cannot
lay tho ghost sho has disturbed, I
ale determined to take no rest until
I have fathomed this mystery.."
Tho knockiiig was heard more
vigorously, than over.
"Poor spirit !" signed Miss Austin
sympathetically; "how eager it
seems to unburden itself of the mes-
sage with which it is charged. And
alas ! there is no one whom) relieve
its pangs and interpret those Mystic
symbols. How I wish • my' friend,
Miss Anson, were Here. She is a
medium. I will write for her to
comp to -morrow,"
"No -o -o, please," shivered Laura,
"Perhaps the ghost won't stay if it
finds it isn't understood here, and
may go somewhere else. We don't
want any medium—do we John?"
"Certainly not. my dear. We
won't have Miss Anson here. I
don't mean to encourage ghosts to
hang around "these premises:" IRe-
newed interruption' -this time -only
the scraping noise was heard.
"I'll oat my hat," said I vehem-
ently, after a pause, "if that noico
doesn't p`rocoed from rats ; though
how on earth a rat could make those
other noises and rattle away like a
telegraph operator ora pair of cast-
anets, I must own gets over 111e for.
the present:—"Yes, and it conies
from that corner, too," I added after
a moment, pointing to a stone bench,
the space under _which' was occupied
by some empty bottles and an old
broken filter.—"Wait a minute. If
it's rats'— And I turned 'with a
sudden resolution towards the door.
"Where are• you going ?" asked
the others,"
"Tu borrow Captain Lowis's dog.
I think he'll be of more use that a
medium,"
"What sacrilege !" said Miss Aus-
tin,horror depicted on her face.
"Fancy ! Setting a dog at a spirit !
Something dreadful will happen to
us, I am sure,"
"Oh, don't leave us !" implored
Laura.
"You wait in the front parlor ;
I shan't begone five minutes ;" and
off I went.
Captain Lewis was our nearest
neighbor, and lived about fifty yards
away—a jovial old salt, who had
retired from his profession a few
years before, and settled down for
tho remainder of his days in Porth-
penllwyd, his native place. Ho
willingly consented to loud his little
rough terrier Cymro for the purposo
of the rat hunt, which I told him I
thought was on hand, and cane him-
self to see the sport.
"If there's any vermin there,"
said he„ I'll back Cymro against
any dog I know to give a good ac-
count of himself."
So we returned to the scone of
_.action_nnce more.
Miss Austin refused to sanction

she lay in momentary expectation
of wino terrible denou:nent to the
events of that night.
No sooner had we got into the
gantry and lot the dog loose, than
he went straight up to the corner I
had iudicated, and sniffing all
around it, commeuced barking, and
showing other signs that his gtuno
was afoot.
"Something there, evidently,"
sad the captain.
"Stay," I said. 'I'll move the
old filter oot of the way„ for the
dog to have a better chance 'and'I
lifted it up:and placed it on a slab
at tbo other end of the room. "Now,;
then„ Cylnro, good dog."
Strange to say, however, "Cymro
good dog," took no further interest
that korner, but kept capering
wildly round and flying up at the
slab on which 1 had placed tho
filterin•,
"Bust nee !" said the captain after
a pause, with more force than eleg-
ance, "if I don't believe there's
something in the old concern."
'`Wait a Minute," I rejoined
"Just keep the clog quiet." Then
I put my ear to the outside of the
filter. in a few seconds I heard
unnitstakably the tap, tap, and the
scraping noise close ,to my ear.
Trio mystery was solved. The
ghost was indeed a rut, inside Alio
titter. The question wa•,,, "Flow
had it got there, and how could it
make that noise ? On closer
examination, wo found that the
filter was without a tap, and the
holo where the tap ought to be was
choked up by something hard and
roundish. This turned out to be
the joint of u good-sized bone about
four inches long; and the conclus-
ion was forced upon us that, iu-
credible as it
may seem, the•rat had
abstracted this bone from ono of tho
dishes, carried it to the holo, and
succeeded in dragging its burden in
alter itself until the thick end of
the bone got too big for the passage,
and stuck fast, thus making tho rat
a prisoner in its extraordinary re-
treat. The bone did not fit the hole
all retold where it was stuck, but
was only iu contact with the filter
in two places, so that while suffic-
iently tight to resist the efforts of
the rat to expel it or drag it in
altogether, the bone was still loose
enough 1)• tklinit of a lateral
movement as on a pivot When touch•'
ed at the other end ; and this it was
that tho frantic struggles of the im-
prisoned rat produced• the mysteri-•
ous noises which had given us such
a start.
I was not long before informing
the other inmates of the house that
we had captured tho ghost, and I
could not help *siding malilioously
to Miss • Austin ; "Du write `for
Mis Anson to conte; we shall want
her to interpret. its i?stie sym-
bole."
We did not think it sato to trust
to Cymro's skill and liberate',the
prisoner in the sotni-darknoss, so wo
placedthe filter bodily iu a tub full
of water, and wishing the captain•
good night, retired to rest. Next
morning we extracted the dead rat
from the filter, and all the family
gathered around with interest to
look on its remains.
"Here lies the ghost of the pan-
try," said I, "more a ghost now than
110 was when he imposed on us last
night,"
"Only think, now !" said Marino
emmel•.
"Oh, you wretch, what a fright
you gave us !" said mywife.
"Let me play with his tail," said
.Master Jack.
Miss Austin looked rather foolish,
but said nothing ; and during the
remainder of our stay, -the taphole
,of the filter was caret'lilly bunged
up with a large cork.
