When they returned to the ferry, Geraldine extracted her purse, but as she was taking out the money, Jack said, pointing to Ilammorton, the ferry- man : - "That is the person to pay, please. I am not allowed to take any money." When the young lady was oat of sight, Jack said quietly to the boatman : "Don't forget, Dick, it she should happen to make any inquiries that I am only one of your assistants." "All right, sir," answered Dick, with a knowing look. "I won't forget. For the next month Geraldine went on the river every fine day, sometimes in the morning, sometimes in tho after- noon, and these boating expeditious were extended on many occasions up the stream to Kingston, Molesey and Sunbury, and many an argument they had on literature and art --for as a rule their opinions on these subjects were diametrically opposite—as they drifted down homeward bound. One afternoon they were returning down the river when the conversation turned upon the wedding of a lady of property in the neighborhood, who had recently married her coachman.

"Did you hear anything?" I asked. "Well, I did, yo -es," he said, with a drawl. "But ye didn't disturb me any. I knew ye'd hev trouble `7 hon yo went in thet room ter sleep." That afternoon Islipped out to the tree, but to my amazement I found that tho twig I had broken from tbo branches was gone. Finally I found under the lower trunk of an apple tree an open place from which a small branch bad evidently been wrested, bit onlooking further I discov- ered that every apple tree in the orchard had been similarly disfigured. "More mysterious than ever," I said, "but tonight shall decide." That night I pleaded weariness, whish no ono seemed inclined to question, and sought my couch earlier. "Goin tor try it ag'in?" asked my host. "Yes, and I'll stay all winter but what I'll get even with that ghost," I said, That night I kept the candle burning until midnight; then I blew it out. Instantly the room was flooded with a soft Light, and at the foot of the bed stood my ghost, the identical ghost of last night. Again the bony finger beckoned, and a sepulchral voice whispered, "Follow me!" I sprang from the bed, but the fig- ure darted ahead of me. It flow through the doorway and down the stairs and I after it. At the foot of the staircase an unseen hand reached forward and caught my foot, and 1 fell sprawling headlong. But in a second I was on my' fort and pursuing the ghost. It had gained on me a few yards, but I was quicker, and just as we reached the outside door I nearly touched its robes, They sent a chill through my frame, and I nearly gave up the pursuit. • As it passed through the doorway it turned and gays inc one look, and I caught the sante malignant light in its oyes that I remembered from the night before. In the open orchard 1 felt sure 1 could catch it. But my ghost had no intention of allow- ing me any sueh an opportunity. To my disgust it dartedbackward and into the house, slamming the door in my face. In a frenzy of fear and. chagrin I throw myself against the oaken door -with such force that its rusty old hinges yielded and I landed in the big front room of the inn just in time to see the whits skirts of the ghost flit up the stairs. Up stairs 1 fled after it and into an old chamber. There, huddled in a corner, I saw it. In the minute's delay it had sc- oured a lighted caudle, and as I entered it advanced to daunt no with bony arm up- raised to great height. "Caught!" I cried, throwing my arms around the figure. And I had made the acquaintance of a real live ghost. The white robes fell and I saw revealed my hostess of Bucktown inn. Next morning when I threatened to call the police she confessed to me that she masqueraded as a ghost to draw visitors to the out of the way old place and that she found its tales of being haunted highly profitable to her.—Baltimore Harald. a Several travel worn drummers sat in the lobby exchanging yarns. It was Rodney Green's turn, and he looked wise and be- gan his tale: ' I don't claim by any moans that the bo - lief in ghosts is a general thong in Arkan- sas, but I do say that I hacl an experience out there a few years ago. It was lute in tho fall, and I happened to he in tho vil- lage of Bucktown, which desecrates a very limited portion of mother earth in the southern part of the state. The town is about as small and dirty a plass as ever I saw, and the Bucktown inn is not much above the general character of the pines. The region is inhabited by natives who still sling to all sorts of foolish supersti- tions. Tho inn in the antebellum days was kept by one who was said to be the meanest and most crabbed of mortals. The old demon was as miserly as he was mean, and all his narrow life lie hoarded his filthy lucre with fiendish greed. Re- port had it also that ho had even murdered his patrons in their beds for their money. What the facts actually wore I don't know, but oven to this day the old inn is held in suspicion. A. lingering effect of former horrors still clouds its memory. The present proprietor, J3unk Watson— his real name is Bunker, I believe—is an altogether different sort of chap—a south- ern typo,. in fact—one of those shiftless, helpless, happy go lucky mortals tvho love strong whisky and who chew an enor- mous quid of black tobacco and smoke a corncob pipe at the same time. When tho'1ormer keeper "sauiliod off," his property fell to a distant relative, in the person of the present keeper, who with his family immediately moved in from a neighboring hamlet and took possession. It was well known that tho old proprietor had accumulated considerable wealth dur- ing his sojourn among the living, but all efforts to discover any treasure upon the premises had failed, and now the idea of ever finding it was practically given up. As far as Bunk was concerned, the matter troubled him little. He had a hardwork- ing wife, who ran things the best she could under the circumstances and saw that his ?Heals wore forthcoming at their respective intervals. What more could he wish? Why should ho caro if there was a treasure buried upon his place? Indeed it would have been a sore puzzle for him to know what to do with a fortune unless perhaps his wife came to his aid. Among other stories that hovered in the history of the Buckstown inn was one which involved a ghost. In the room where the former keeper had died peculiar noises were heard at unearthly hours. Sighing, moaning and, in fact, all the other indications which point to the exist - once of ghosts were said to bo present. On account of this the chamber, had long since been abandoned. I listened with keen interest to the wonderful tales about the haunted roof i and then suddenly resolved to investigate —to sleep in that chamber that very night exclaimed : Don't move away for a minute, deer ! I want to introduce Lord John Jasp• r to you —a most eligible parti, my dear So handsome, as rich as (;rufsus and so delightfully eccentric 1 Sets up as 0 woman hater, you know, but i1 he re• slats you, my dear, why, 1 shall give him up altogether." A minute after she had gone in search of his lordship a well known taco caught Geraldiue;s attention, and the next moment Jack, the boatman, was standiug in front of her. "At last!" he said in a low deep voice, while his eyes seemed to pierce her through and through. "Oh, .Jack 1" cried Geraldine. "What are you doing here?" I have come to ask you to finish what you were saying to me when your aunt interrupted our conversation." replied Jack. "Oh, but, isn't it rash of you I" said the poor girl, half inclined to cry. ''sup- pose any one was to recognize you? I should never forgive myself it you gait into trouble through me. Do go away, Jack." "Tell me you love me, and I will leave you at once if you wish it," an wered Jack. "Oh, I do—I do 1" exclaimed Gerald- ine. "I never knew how touch until wo were parted, and now please go okay. Oh, here comes Lady A1- thorpe l" "Ah, Lord John! I was going to in- troduce you to Lady Geraldine, lett it seems as though you have met before," riilpled the genial hostess. "Ah you sly things !'.' Jack," cried Geraldine waren they were once again alone in the crowd, "why did you do this?" "Because 1 wished to be loved for thyself alone, darling," whispered tori Jasper. "And I had given us all hope of 1t, when Providence brought us to- gether at dear old Twickenham ferny." —Princess.

His wife appeared, and ho intimated that I should settle the. matter with the "old woman." The prospect of a fee persuaded the wife, and off she went to arrange for my bed in that ill fated room. At'0 o'clock that evening I bade the fam- ily good night, took illy candle, ascended the rickety stairs and entered the chamber of horrors. The atmosphere was heavy and had a peculiar odor that was not at all pleasing. However, I latched tho door and was soon in bed. Having propped} myself up with pillows, I was prepared to await the coming,of the ghosb. Overhead the dusty rafters, which onct had experienced, the sensation of being whitewashed, but which were now a dirty yellowish Dolor, were hung with a fantastic array of cobwebs. The flickering light of tho candle rbfleoted upon the walls and against the coiling a myriad of grotesque shapes, and, this effect being contin ually disturbed by the swaying cobwebs, the whole caused the room to appear rather ghostly after all, and especially so to an imaginative mind. I waited and waited for hours, it seem- ed, but still no ghost. Perhaps it was afraid of my candlelight; so I blow it out. No sooner had I done this and settled back in bed again than n whits band ap- peared through the door and then a whole figure. At last the ghost had come, rt whits and sheeted ghost) It had come right through tho door, al- though it was locked, and now it advanced toward the bed, liaising its long, white arta, It pointed a bony finger at me and then in a hollow voice commanded, "Como with mel" Thereupon it turned to the door, while instantly I jumped out of bod to follow. Some unseen power compelled me to obey. The door flow open, and tho ghost led me down tho stairs, through long halls, into the cellar, through mysterious underground corridors, up stairs again, in and. out of rooms which I never dreamed were to be found in that old rambling inn. Finally through a email door in the rear wo left the house. I was in my sleeping garments, but no matter. I had to follow. The whits form, with a slow and meas- ured trend and as silent as death, led the way into the orchard. There under a tree at the farther end it pointed to tho ground and in the same ghostly tones before used said: "here you will find a great treasure buried." Tho ghost then dlsappenred, and I saw it no more. I stood dazed and trembling. Upon recovering my wits I started to dig, but ,the chill of the night air and, the scantiness of my night robes made edoh labor impracticable. So I decided to leave sono nrark.to identify the plane and conte again at daybreak. I reached up and broke off a• limb.
