WAS IT A DltLUM J
Frlghloiied lmlf out of our wits that
nlclit at Mrs. Holland's, nlono and
qullo unprotected In tho wild old house
I wonder whatever putltintoour heads
lo Rit im till past ntidnlglit, 10111112 nil
sorts of horriblo stories of ghosts, mur.
dors and robberies ? It must have been
tho perversity of our woman-natures, for
I know, all the witilo wo wcro talUItifr
and listening, wo started at every
sound, mid hardly dared glance over
our shoulder
There were six of us besides Mrs.
Holland invited to spend tho night
with that lady for tho Bole purpose of
koeping 1ior in good heart during her
husliand's brief absence. I do not know
how it was, but lato that afternoon she
had found herself left in tlio lurch by
Iter only man servant, and so had gath
cred this group '' chattering, rattle-
btafacd girls about her. Her placo was
on tlio outskirts of a Western city,
somewhat retired, although from
its windows of nkrhts tho lights of the
town could bo plainly acen.
I don't know how our tongues got al
such a mistaken subject. I know that
Bello Sloan played and sang in a way
a. '"'i.w -dxiaXhif. Jinh")i)Hna..niiht to
iivo ueeu a long way irom uui
noughts. Wc recited poems, discussed
the fashions, danced, read, and last but
not least lunched, all beforo wo ventur
ed to look Into Bluebeard's chamber.
It might havo been tho sight of tho
silver on tho sideboard, or tea urn upon
the table that first started it. I know
that Mrs. Holland was very careful
about locking up tho plulo, aud sug
gested that somo one should put tho
toy of tho sideboard under their pillow
when they went to bed that night. I
remember, too that Gcrlrudo Haws was
the only ono who had courago enough
to pocket tho disagreeable charge.
Of all tho tsrriblo things that wcro
related, and I .nn sure each ouo vied
with tho other in telling frlghtrul
stories, nono affected mo a3 did an
o'er true tale" told by C.irolino Mc
Dowell, and vouched for by her cousin
ucy. At lliis date I" do uot remember
all its details; I only know that r.otno
aunt, uncle, or cousin . of tho family
rented a houso near the city; that
when thev took nosscsition of it, it
seemed tho most dolight'iil as well as
tho most dcsirablo ol places r but when
they had occupied it a week or two a
feeling of disquiet and unrest camo over
each member of tho family
Though thcro was nothing unuiual
heard, and everything was as q ulot and
well ordered a3 In any house, tlioy soon
got In thoway of huddling about the par
lor flro of nights, dreading to soparalo
when bedtime camo, aud looking fear
fully over their shoulders as they wont

Though tho houso had a southern and

I looked un nt Iho wall, expecting lo
sco tho shadow, summoned up by Bell's
audacity.
"What bccauio of it nt' last', Miss
Carojluo?" I asked, too scared lo laugh
at Bello's willy saying.
"O. it drovo them out at last, nnu ni
ter n wliilo tho old houso was torn down.
They found something nwful in tho
collar tho bones of u very tnll man.
Whatovcr the secret was it rests with
tlio dead."
Mrs. Holland shuddered. Sho was
evidently getting too much of tho mar
vellous. "For my part," shosald, "I fear tho
miichiovous living moro than I do tho
quiet dead. G hosts do not cut throats or
flro pistols, but knaves do. Now, girls, let
us forgot all this nonsenso and go to bed
When tho sun rises In tho morning wo
can afford to laugh at nil of this. Tho
most serious thing wo havo to do for
the night. I must certainly havo somo
ono to snaro ray room witn mo, anu
then thcro will bo fivo loft for thrco
beds. How shall wo inanngo It?"
"I don't know, I'm suro, but I'd liko
to havo Hattlo Brown with mo," Gorty
Haws said. "Sho would bo so Jolly if
anything should happen."
"I shouldn't bo so nico with a bullet
lodged iu my head."
"Thrco will havo to sleep In ono bed,
or ono of you will havo lo sleep alone."
Mrs. Holland said thoughtfully
"I will tako a room lo myself," I said,
possessed by a sudden spirit of courago
"I shall soon be asleep, and then noth
Ing will trouble mo but my dreams."
That flxc3 us then," was tho roliov
cd answer of our lioness, and sho led
tho way into tho hall and up stairs
was shown to a perfect nest nf a room
at tho end of tho upper liali, it3 win
dows opening upon a balcony. To re
assure myself, when left nlono, I turned
aside tiio shutters (it was summer time,
pushed back Iho flmly laco curtains
and looked out long into tiio night.
A breath of rosc3 camo up, from Iho
garden bolow. I could hear no sound
but tho rustling of tho trees near tho
window. It seemed such a sweet Chris
tian world lo mo then, tho stars watch
ing in tho skies abovo! In all that
purity .of leaves, flowers and scented
breezes, how could ono plan deeds of
darkness or ralso a hand ngahi3t a
brother.
From .tho window I turned lo a vol-
nine; M uuiruti -uuuitmtmtn mema,
which was lying upon a little (ablo by
tho bed. Lcauing back in an arm chair,
I was soon lost in that sweetest of
sweet poems, Hugh Southcrland's Pan
sics. I was sitting opposlto tho win
dow, though not very near to it, tho
thought occurring to mo ns I settled
down to my book, that in front of mo
was plenty of room for Caroline Mc
Lowell's shadow with tho hat and
handkerchief, to wavo his hands and
bob his head. As I read, everything
growsilentinthehonso. Hattlo Brown's
laugh, pretty and musical dwindled
down to Just a gurglo and then ceased
altogether. BelloSloan called out "mer-
ry good night gliosis and robbers," and
was then heard no moro. It seemed to
mo that I was alono In tho waking
world overybody clso had entered that
misty land that knows no realities.
How I read I do not know. Tho
page grew binrrcu anu uiin, nnu i
found myself whispering over and over
softly
''Even ns I played
I felt tho shadow thero and hid ray fico;
Hut when X looked again ino uower was piucu
n.i Tho shadow irouo. tho sunshine through tho
oiiuu
Gleamed faintly,
and tho widowed woman

A soft light slop broke iu upon my
words. I tboucht that Mrs. lloiianu
wns rmnlntr tn mv room to SCO how I
wa3 getting along alone, but tho foot
fall did not pauso nt ray door.'.but turn
cd and went back again. I did not get
un to sco what it was or who it was,
I was not iu tho least frlghteneu, anu
so sleepy nnd dreamy that I had littio
curiosity. It occurred to mo tnat ine
McDowell girls might get a frlgnui uioy

arms. But in ins imna no nan no nana-
korclilof. I was suro of that. It camo
upon mo then that I might bo dream
ing. A funny combination of seneo and
nonsonso followed. I wanted to speak
to tho mm but was nfrald I might
Vnken myself by It. I could remember
spoiling many a doliclous entertaining
vision by trying to utter ono llttlo
word.
I waiitcd to sco this thing out, so it
was wisdom in mo lo keep still. Unless
tho shadow did something posltlvoly
disagrocablo Or Impolite, I would keep
utter sllonco.
As if to provoko mo Into making a
raovo that big long right nrm upon tho
wall was strclchcd out towards tho
bureau.
"Thcro goes my watch I" I thought,
and turned squaro around to sco If tho
shadow was holloing tho sub3tanco. Not
bit of It. Tlio substanco was drop
ping something into his handkorchlcf,
and "good byo to my llttlo donovatlmo
keeper!" I felt a strong-disposition
to cry. After this Mr. 8ub3tanco
led his shadow ncross tho room to tho
door, strutting nlong n3 though ho know
himself to bo master of tho situation
Then ho turned nnd looked mo over
In a cool dellberato way that mado mo
very nngry. I thought ho wanted my
solitaire, nnd so hid my band under my
book. After nwhlio ho turned his at-
tontion lo my night dress thrown across
tho back of a chair. It pleased, him
mightily. IIo took it up, shook it, first
looked at ono alcove, then nt tho othor,
tried to button tho collar round his own
burly throat, and falling in it, threw it
With all his might Into tuo.corner.
"A pretty plcco of irnpudenco!" I
thought lo myself. "If I could only
draw my handkerchief around his neck
so tightly as to choko lilm?"
Then it was that I began to tiunic l
was acting tho part of tho coward.
Why, after it was ail over with, I would
dio of sharao that I had allowed that
fellow, or ghost I could not tell which
to raako ofT with his spoils, and novcr
so much as to ralso my flngor to pro
vent it.
Ho went to tho dressing bureau and
took up a brush, and leisurely remov
ing ids hat began to brush his curls.
My ! but what beautiful hair ho had.
Such n mass of glossy silkon curls
covering Ills head! That wasn't
shadow-llko it all. I felt a strong dis
position to put an cud to my doubts by
clenching a hand Into tho shining rings,
but I stirred not n slop. At last ho
turned tothowindowaud began to undo
tho fastenings.
I becamo suduenly desncrato. Ho
should not escape mo so, I would catch
hold of him and scream for help. If ho
was "not of cartli earthy," why, of
course ho would slip through my fin
gcrs, but spirits did not takoQcnova
curls with ladles' hair brushes. To this
world's noods they maintained a bliss
ful indifference.
Tlio window was unfastened and
swung partly open, when I gavo a leap
forward a leap, by tho way, which
would havo mudo tho famo of a circus
performer ; of tho scream that accom
panied tho movement I havo nothing
to say. Thoso who wcro arousod from
a deep slumber by it, declared that it
was an inhuman howl, fitted only to
scaro sinners in tho lower regions. My
only thought, when I sprang from my
thairwastogctpos-essioti of my visitor's
bright handkerchief. I did clasp It firm
ly with my fingers and hold fa3t to It,
but it slipped from his neck, and ho
escaped from mo into darknes?,
Tho next minuto thcro wa3 a crying,
a pattering and a fluttering in tho hall
and I found myself back in my arm
chair overlooking tho most terrified set
of human countenances that over
confronted man or woman.
"What is It?" they all asked, in n
breath. "What mado youscream so?"
"What havo you not undressed?"
"What is the matter?" wcro showorcd
unon mo as thick as hailstones. I look
cd around me doggedly.
"Thero was a man in tho room aud I
tried to stop him," I answered in a
trembling voice.
"aoodnoss! I don't seo what you
wanted to Btop hltn for, Magglo. Didn't
you wan't him to go ?" Hattio Brown
said, hor teeth chattering.
I gavo hor n withering glnnco.
"But ho mado off with my watch?"
"Oh, a robber ! Was the watch under
your pillow?"
"No, on tho bureau."
"Miss Margaret Verne, you've had n
nlBlitmaro. Hero is your watch on

Mrs. Holland smllod bonignniy.
"Show U3 tho haudkorchIof,'doar."
"At nnv rato thero Is tho nightgown

puzzled moro than I likod to admit.
Hattlo Brown took up tho abused

sho did so, n bright colored silk hand
kerchief foil to tho carpot. A chorus oi
scroams followed, nnd thon with ono
accord, tlio six whito-robed figures ran
as ir on a wager, to Mrs. Holland's
room. Need I say that I followed.
Thi3 ends it. You havo It Just as It
hnpponcd. But for that handkorchlcf
thcro would havo novcr boon n doubt
that I was dreaming. Evon with that
ns testimony (Mrs. Holland preserve
It carefully) they still doubt. My soil

question is still hoard whenever tho
story is alluded to, "Aftor all, was sho
dreaming?" I wish I could answer it.
X Crushing Sarcasm.
Chief Ju3tlco Spoflbrd, during tho
latter part of his official career, was
about 3 brusquo and biting ns man
could bo, and In his bltttor moods ho
was apt to bo ns ungenerous ns ho was
sarcastic. When loft his own medi
tations, with nothing to rulllo his torn
i.to iinoUUlnna wcro clear and
compact, nnd his legal pnpcr3 pattorns
of ornato erudition ; and moreover, his
decisions wcro held as good anu suiuci
ont law of precedent.
Onco upon n timo Spouoru was in mo
head of tho bench holding a uouri, oi
Equity, and in tho caso under trial it
becamo necessary for an attorney to
provo tho death of a certain man. inis
attornoy wa3 by namo Walllngton a
thln-visaged, nervous, buzzing lenow,
who had tho reputation of nover
letting go his hold upon n caso until
ho hud wrung tho last possible dollar
from it.
Walliongton produced, what ho con
sldcrcd asufliclcnt proof of tho death ot
tho man in question; but tho juugo
would not accept it.
