THE GHOST OF EUGENE
ARAM.
•BY HENRI' A HERING.
At that titno I was engaged. on my well
kuown work on Druidical Vestiges'. I
wanted absolute seclusion in 'which to or
my notes and write my book, and I
oast, about for a euitable place. r ',was for-
tunate enough tohec of an ideal spot in the
heart, of tho broad-aered county, on the
friage of the moors and the dales, and
within eitsy access- of York withal. The
house was picturesque in iteelf and its
position. heves situated on the edge of the
greatreservoir that had just been made for a
distant town. It was the old Manor home
cif the dietrict, and had been saved from
destruction by the pleading of local- auti-

fancy at first sight; On three sides was
water, on the fourth a -delightful old Eng•
fish gardea of sunflewere, box•trees and
yews. It ware -rimy, an ideal place for my
werk.
The engineer had lived there for the past
five years, superintending the banding of
the works, and when I looked over tho
home he was hinter packing up his belong-
ings. I naturally asked him , how he liked
the place, and if there were any special dis-
advantages connected with it.
-.To the first question he replied that he
liked it uncommonly ; to the latter he did
not reply at all. I pressed for ars anewer,
and he reluctantly admitted that there- was
a special disadvantage; and then.he added
inconsequently that possibly I might pelt it
an attraction,
" My dear sir," I replied, " if I take this

I earefully thought over the. matter, and
finally decided to take the place; despite the

- So I fixed up the tenaney, moved books

For the next two months I was so busy

the manuscripts, which were mottled and
foxed with -mildew, and thiokly coated -with
the duet of ages. It was pitable to see them
in this condition. Illuminated miffeals had
long since loet their coloring, and the Greek,
Latin, Saxon and other manuscripts were
fast bec.omirg undecipherable. Many of them
were so already.
They were evidently spoils of the dernoli7

best perserved and to me the 'most interest-

It was about a month after hi fi

"What a pity it is they don't bel ng to

I fancied I heard a sort of chuckle fret
the ghost, but on facing Aram it appeare
he was suffering from a severe cold.
That evening was spent by me in remo
ing as best I could the deposit of oenturie
from the manuscript, and by restoring th
writing from a recipe of Aram's.
" Smilax," said the lattereafter an hour
careful and eager examination of what wa
thus disclosed, " you've got a find here an
no mistake. It's eleventh century, or earl
twelfth, and it seems to be a• continuatio
of the Saxon Chronicle—a northern con
tinuation, as one °an see from the verb
inflections. It's a find that will perpetuat
your name—or should I say Leigh's ?" h
added, unkindly. "But this is only
fragment. You meat bring the other sheets
and we'll work tOgether at them. You'
have to throw over the Druids till we'v
done it."
" Nonsense," I replied. " What if it i
as you say? This is only a philologica
curiosity. You can't expect me to thro
over my work for it. I'm hanged if I do.
Aram winced. , "1 don't thiuk it ver
kind of you to make that remark, Smilax,
he said. " If you, knew what hangin
meant you would not talk about it s
lig'114Yri;"sorry if I hurt your feelings Aram,
I rejoined : "but I don't think you had an
right to ask me to give up my work fo
something more congenial to your tastes."
" Well, perhaps there will be no need fo
you to do so," he went on; " but I hop
you'll help me wi h this Chronicle in th
evenings. It will be the first bit of rea
work I've done f r a hundred and fort
years, and it will e a contribution to his
tory."
Aram spoke ao feelingly, and his object,
seemed so laudable, that with very little
persuasion I agree to ids suggestion, and
each time I went o the Grange I brought
away with me a further portion of .the
manuscripts. ' Mu h of them was hopelesely
illegible, but ther still remained enough
that could be de iphered to occupy Aram
with the evenings of three months, and I
took down his tra elation.
I remember ver well meeting Mr. Leigh
on his return. I ad part of the precioue
Chronicle in my , pocket, just abstracted
from his collection!. Somehow there didn't
seem an opening for telling hirn about it.
At any rate, I said nothing. I told Aram
that I hadn't mentioned the matter to Mr.
Leigh, and he agreed that it was quite un-
necessary to de so.:
" Mankind is never ccrrupted at once ;
villainy is progressive, and declines from
right, step by a -tap, till every regard of pro-
bity is lost and every sense of moral obliga-
tion perishes."
• So said Aram at his trial, and I can from
my own experience vouch for the accuracy
of his statement so far as it affects the pur-
loining of Old English manueoripts, Piece
by piece I transferred the Chronicle from
Mr. Leigh's possession to my own. There
only remained two more to bring, when one
night I said jokingly to him :
" Now, euppose Leigh came upon me jut
an I was pocketing one of these thinge.
What would you advise me to do ?''
"Kill him," saidnAram.• '
I stared at him in horror. "You'd have
me commit murder ?'' I said at last. , .
" That's it," he replied. " And you'd
do it well. You are a man after my own
hoHarenw" as
just a little premature. I hadn't
progress quite to far in villainy as that.
Perhaps in another. week I might have
been ready, but I wasn't just then,'
Aram's speech thoroughly aroused me to
the seriousness of the situation.. For the
first time I realized that he was slowly drag-
ging me to perdition by his insidious sug-
gestions. I was now a thief—poseible a
confirmed thief—but there was still time to
save myself from wore. I thought it all
out, and before I weal to sleep I had taken
two resolves—to make restitution and to
get rid of Aram.
It's simply amazing how easy it is to be
good if you only try.
I just walked over to Leigh's the next
morning with a parcel under my arm.
. "I've been cleaning these manuscripts of
youre;" I said, °peeing the parcel and
ahowing them. "1 to k them to my place
to do, and I hope you c on't mind."
" Not at all, Mr. milax," said Leigh
cheerfully. " You oan, have them if they're
any good to you." ' I_
" You don't mean t, '1 gasped. " Why,
man, it's a continuat on of the Saxon Chron-

he would stick more closely to it than ever
if he saw I wanted him to go.
I don't mind admieting that previous to
my meeting with A am I had given very
little attention to ghosts. I bad even
doubted the existene of such thinga ; but
I could do so no lo ger when I was in
nightly communion with one. Naturally
my interest in the wi ole queetion of poet.
mortem appearance were aroused, and I
el
had resolved to go fuilly into the matter as
soon as the Druids were off my hands. In
the meantime I had bent for a few psychical
books, magazines and pamphlets, and had
discussed them with Aram.
I now turned to this literature to 809 if
it afforded me any escape from the ghost.
There was an article on " Exorcism " that
interested me, but I hesitated at the ser-
vices of a professional exorcist except as a
last resort, as I did ot wish to make the
matter public proper ,y. Then there was a
oolumn or two.on " ncantations." I tried
a few of the simpler f rmulae prescribed, but
they did not: act. Ti ey only served to irri-
tate Aram, who got he impression it was
some Druidical rite I was practising on
him.
In the general matter of these numbers
there seemed to be n thing that would be
of immediate tine to me in my difficulty, but
among the advertisements one in particular
,attraeited my attentio •
'
"Psyche and Com any, Ghost and Spec.-
tre Purveyore," it ran 4 "Mansions haunted
at moderate cost. Large etook of ghosts
kept- An assorted batch of Crueaders just
to hand. Send for catalogue. N. B.o---Good
prices given for ghosts of repute. Exchanges
effected." ,
My heart lightened es I read this single
advertisement. Here, it seemed to me, was
a possibility for relief. I had a ghost of re•
pute, and if only Ppyche and Company
would take charge of 1,iim I Might rid ,rny-
aelf of the incubus—might eVen be a mone-
tary gainer by thetranaivetion,' judging
from the Lerma of the adverttsement.
I wrote at once to the firth in question,
and in due course came this reply :
" ARCHIPELAGO STREET, SOHO.
" DEAR STR,—In reply to your favor of
yeaterday's date, we are willing to purchase
the ghost of the late E. Aram, Esq., from
yort if you can satiafy 118 as to its authenti-
city. As we are rather ov rstocked with
eighteenth century remnants t the moment,
we cannot offer you more th n twenty-five
guineas for its posseesion. S ould you ac-
cept our terms a representati e will at once
wait upon you to effect the removal de.
sired.
" We are, dear sir,
"Faithfully you s,
'CHE & Co."
Ps
Agree to the terms ? Of c urse I would.
I wrote off accepting them y that day's
post, and then anxieusly awe ted the arriv-
al of the firm's representative
He was a little man witili large eyes,
sharp nose, thin lips, and allid cheeks.
He seemed to be a smart busneas man and
thoroughly up in his calling.
" I expect to have no diffic lty at all in
removing Mr. Aram," he sai in reply to
my first question. " I ha e taken the
trouble of making myself ac uainted with
hie interesting career, and I think I can
offer him an inducement to tr nsfer."
" I suppose you will have tn arrange the
details personally with them ?" I queried.
"Certainly if, and as soon as possible.
You say he apipears nightly. If you tell
him this evening that I especially desire to
make his acquaintance—of ourse saying
nothing about my object—you will probably
be able to arrange an intervie . I have no
doubt whatever of the result o one. I will
stay in my bedroom till ou call me

don who is particularly desiro s of meeting

" Well, if you don't like hin, you can—

you'll take to him. Try him oii my recom-

" Well," said Aram, after a moment's re-
flection, "you can show him in. But no
tricks mind, or you'll suffer for it."
It was certainly high time o get rid of
Aram. He had never threaten d me before. -
I called Mr. Vigo, who entered and was in-
troduced. The conversation be an with the
eather and the state of the cr ps. Finally
igo said :

"1 may as well be frank with you," con-
tinued Vigo. " I'm the representative of
Psyche & (Jo., of London, who deal in arti-
cles—er—gentlemen—like youreelf."
"1 know you," said Aram. "I've heard
of you from friends, and it's little I know to
your advantage. You make a good thing
out of your employees and overwork them."
" You are mieinformed, Mr. Aram. At,
dawn they are always off duty," said Vigo
earnestly. "1 think I've got a permanent
billet for you, and one that will suit you
down to the gound. One of her Majesty's
judges -.-Mr. Justice Donmer—a hanging
judge, as they call him—has just bought a
fine old mansion in Devonshire, and his wife
want's a ghost for it. Now, if you would
take up your residence there, you would
oblige a lady and have splendid opportuni-
ties for annoying one of her Majesty's
judges—a hanging judge, I think 1 said. I
believe you have 120 special reason to like
them, Mr. Aram ?"
"Aram's eyes brightened. "You're right
sir ; I haven't," he said. " Pll ad-
mit you have taken my faney by what you
purpose. One of that kidney oaused me a
lot of temporary inconvenience and cut
shcrt a -very promising career. I'd like to
take it out of another. King's Bench ?"
" Queen's Bench," corrected Mr. Vigo.
Aram glided up and down in vieible excite-
ehould be sorry to leave you, Smilax,"
he said, "but I think I could do better
with a hanging judge. Pll go."
My joy at this announcement almost over-
came my politeness. " You'll write SOOD,I.)
I said mechanically.
Vigo will, no doubt.," said Aram grim-
ly. "And if I don't take to the job I shall
come back. Hurry up the Druids, Smilax ;
and don't forget the Chronicle. Why, there
are those laet sheets I must stay to finieh."
"No, no," I cried. " I can do them
quite well myself. It I get stuck I'll let
you know through Mr. Vigo and you can
run over for an odd evening."
" Well," said Aram doubtfully, " per-
haps that will do ; but if you make a ' triess
of that translation, I'll either haunt you
myaelf or put a friend hp to the job. Sta-
pleton Manor, Devon, did you say, Vigo?
I'll be there to -morrow night if the wind
settles. Good -by, Smilax. Don't fret, "and
the ghost of Eugene Aram slcwly faded out
of Afortnightsight
later I heard from Peye-n and
Co. that Aram had taken up his quer is in
Stapleton Manor, much to the judge's i 'dig -
nation. A cheek for twenty-five gu ,eas
was enclosed in the letter, with the aGsled
information that Aram had succeckled in
making life miserable for the judge,

Homes of Royalty.
It is rumored in Great *Britain that a
royal reeidenco is to be built in Ireland by
the king. Queen Victoria, after her visit to
li eland last year, is said to have Expressed
a desire that in future some member . of her
family should visit Ireland every year, and
King Edward is known to be intent on
carrying out every wish of his mother, as
far as known to hirn. It is considered prob-
able that the King's own brother, the Duke
of Connaught, with the Duchess, will spend
a part of every year there, as they are great•
ly attached to the Irish people. The Irish
return the feeling, especially as the Duke
bears an Irish title. They will have Clar-
ence House as a London residence.
The Duke of Fife and the Duchess (Prin-
cess Louise of Wales) prefer Scotland as a
rule, but a royal residence in London will
be assigned to them. The Duchess is not
strong, and finds greater charm, it is said,
in a quiet home life than in society. Father,
mother and the little Ladies Duff are often
to be seen at Brighton in a quiet part of the
beach, playing with pebbles, spades and
pails, like the most commonplace of citizens.

Almost Consumption.
Mr. J. J. Dodds, of Pleasant Ave.'Deer Park. Ont.,

and all over my body since last summer from a very
heavy cold, which I could not get rid of. I have
tried several of whit are considered go id remedies,
but none seemed to be of any avail. I began to think
that tny cold was developing into consumption, as
very many have to my knowledge. I am thankful
now to say that Dr. Chase's Syrup of Linseed and
Turpentine has worked a complete cure, as I am now
entirely free of tho cold.
Father of 69 Children Exempt
From Road Tax.
South Carolina, in two lute items, estab-
lished her claim to the undiminished fecund-
ity, and perhaps also to the possession of
the most extraordinary families in point of
numbers that are anywhere to be found.
Hampton . Ferguson, colored, living in
Spartanburg county, was called me a few
days ago to work out his road tax, _He
asserted that he was exempt because he
was 72, and while giving prof of his age
made the remarkable statement that he waa
the father of 69 children. He has been
married four times. He made the state-
ment under oath, and he was excused from
road duty. Several yeara ago a negro was
discovered in one of the seacoaat towns who
was the father of 43 children. That was
considered the highest record in the State.
Tbe Atlanta Constitution says it is reported
by reliable authority that there is a woman
living in the mountains of Ooonee county
who is 26 yeare old, and has 14 children, all
living, and one grandchild. The woman
married .when only 11 years old, and has
enjoyed good heolth ever since.—Chicago

A NERVOUS WRECK
Was the Condition of' Miss Gillis
for Eight Years.
The Best Doctors' and Hospital Treatment
Failed to Help Her, and She Had AP
most Lost Rope of Ever Being Welt
Again—Her Earnest Advice to Other
Sufferers.
One of the moat common, at the 8arne
time oue of the most to be dreaded, aihnenta
which afflicts the people of this country is
nervous debility. The causes leading to the
trouble are various, overwork or worry be-
ing among the most prominent. But what-
ever the cause, the affliction is one that
makes life a burden. Such a sufferer for
years was Miss Margaret Gillis, of Whim
Road Cross, P. E. 1. Her life was one of
almost incessant misery, and she had come
to look upon her condition as incurable,
when Dr. Williams' Pink Pills were brought
to her notice, and to this life-giving, nerve
restoring medicine, she now owes health
and happiness. Mies Gillis tells of her ill-
ness and cure as follows : "For the past
eight years my life has been one of constant
misery. My neavous system was shattered,
and I was reduced to a more physical wreck.
My trouble began in one of the ailments
that so frequently afflict my sex. I was ir-
ritable and discouraged all the time, and life
did not seem worth living. For seven years
I was under treatment by doctors. I even
went to Boston and entered a hoepital,
where I remained for some time. While
there the treatment temporarily benefitted
me, but soon my condition was worse than
ever. Finally my nervous trouble took the
form of spaems, which caused more suffer-
ing than words can tell. When thus at-
tacked I felt as though I was literally being
torn apart. I would frequently become un-
conecious, and sometimes would remain in
that condition for half an hour. I have
sometimes had as many as six ofthese
epasms in a week, and -no one Who has not
sunilarly suffered can imagine the tired,
wornoute depressed feeling which followed.
Doctors seemed utterly unable to do Any;
thing for ma, and those years of misery can
never be forgotten. Then I began taking
De. Willie.ms' Pink Pills, and in a short
while I found them helping me. Then an-
other doctor told me he could cure me.
stopped taking the pills, and, like the deg
in the fable, while grasping at the shadow I
lost the substance. I was soon in as wretch-
ed a condition as ever, The pills were the
only thing that had thelped me and I de-
termined to begin them again, 1 continued
to take them for nearly nine menthe, the
trouble gradually but surely leaving me, un-
til I ani now in almost perfect health, and
fully released from what I at one time
thought would prove a life of constant mita
cry. I cannot praiee Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills too highly, nor can I too strongly urge
those who are ailing to test their wonderful
health restoring virtues."
In thousands and thousands of cases it
hap been proved that Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills are the greatest blood builder and.
nerve restorer medical science has yet dis-
covered. The pills act speedily and direct-
ly upon the blood and nerves,and thus reach
the root of the trouble, effecting thorough
and permanent cures. Other medicines
merely act upon the symptoms, and when
the patient ceases using them they soon re-
lapse into a condition as bad as before.
There is no trouble due to poor blood or
weak nerves which these pills will not cure,
Those who are sick or ailing are urged to
give this medicine a fair trial, and are cau-
tioned against the numerous imitations
which some dealers offer. The genuine pills
always bear the full naine, " Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills for Pale People" on the wrap-
per around every box.

What .Bad Roads Cost.
ONTARIO 11AS SPFPNT EIGHTEEN MILLIONS IN
THE PAST TEN vEstns.
The importance of roads in the economy
of the country is well shown in the fifth
annual report of the Commiesioner of High-
ways, just issued, which states that during
the 10 years from 1889 to 1898, inclueive,
$18,449,561 in money and statute labor was
expended on the highweys of Ontario. The
report shows in detail the amount spent in
each municipality, and !goes on to argue that
the results are by no means commensurate
with the expenditure. Mr. A, W, Camp-
bell, the commiesioner, devotes a number of
chapters of the report to suggestions on
roadmaking, and points' out the close rela-
tion which good roads lsear to the progress
of the country. The educational campaign
of the past few years has borne fruit, and
already 45 municipalities have abolished
statute labor and substituted more business.
like methods of imp/living the highwayee
The report is an interesting one throughout,
and will doubtless be much consulted dur-
ing the movement for good roads, which is
now takine more definite -shape.
How to Cure a Corn.
It is one of the easiest things in the world
to cure a corn. Do not use acids or other
caustic preparations, and don't cut a hole in
your boot. It is simply to apply Putnam's
Painless Corn and Wart Extractor, and in
three days the corn can be removed without
pain. Sure, safe, painless. Take only Put-
nam's Corn Extractor.

Mr. Vanderbilt's Laces.
A Paris paper tells of an amusing story of
a recent visit paid by Mr. Cornelius Van-
derbilt to the Museum of Ancient Brpesels
Laces,
The sight of such priceless treasures •in
charge'apparently, of a single person, in-
spired Mr. Vanderbilt with an American
idea as to the poesibilities.
" What would you do," he queried, if
we were all to Bet upon you ?"
" Monsieur can try, replied the man
quietly, and almost on the instant six stal-
wart men appeared at the door, summoned
by an electric button which the caretaker
had pressed.
Finally, as Mr. Vanderbilt and his friends -
absolutely refused to leave the building
without being allowed to buy something, A
number of lace handkerchiefs were quietly
got from a neighboring shop. A few offer-
ed to him at £4 being rejected as " too
inferior," several more were brought in of
the same quality but different pattern. For
those Mr. Vanderbilt gleefully paid £20 -
each, and went away as a man who had se-
cured a prize.
