A GHOSTLY EPISODE.
It Might Have Been Explalnod by
Helen and Her Lover.
They wf re a very comfortable party
of ten or a dozen adults vthlUntr in an
old ancestral house, and all nearly or
remotely connected or related. And It
often happened that the conversation
took a turn to Include those deceased
ancestors whose portraits hunff on the
walls, and whose possessions were un
der the same roof with themselves,
"It seems like sacrilege," their host
ess was saying, as they sat in the twi
light glimmer, between bearthlight
and daylight, in the old-fashioned draw
ing room, "but Helen has about per
suaded me to let her have her great
grandmother's wardrobe. I could
never think my sol f of disturbing those
things which my mother gave me as a
sacred bequest. Hut Helen declares
that the time has come when those old
gowns can be worn without remodeling,
and I fancy she would be rather proud
of them as heirlooms."
"I should be afraid the ghost of the.
owner would look over my shoulder,"
remarked one of the cousins present, in
an awesome tone.
"Oh, if it comes to that, wo arc all
ghosts," said another one; "wo carry
our ghosts with us. Hut as the good
dames cannot, even as ghosts, wear
thoir old garments, why should we be
denied that privilege?"
"I tell Ilelen she will only have the
clothes, not the air of one born to them.
My grandmother was a belle and a
beauty. She had well, there she is;
you can all see her and Judge for your
selves;" and Mrs. King led the way
down the long room into the vista of
faint darkness to the portrait. A can
delabrum was lighted, and in t-at pale
glimmer they saw the beautiful face of
a girl of nineteen, with the shoulders
and waist of an ideal figure. Her fair
cheeks and rosy lips, her naughty chin
with a dimple set in It, her largo, lus
trous eyes, were framed in a mass of
cuch curls as were worn in that day.
They hung o7er her lovely shoulders
down to her small waist.
"There," said Ilelen, in an eager
voice, "look at that peach-colored silk
flounce to the waist; see the puffed
tleeves and the capes oh! isn't it de
licious, just as they are wearing them
now, and it's upstairs in an old mahog
any truuk, packed in camphor! Ureat
grandraiimma wore it as a bride And
those Uu-'B mitts and the dear little
handkerchief bag on her arm, and the
medallion picture of great-grandpa
with his hair in a queue oh! it
would be too lovely! And I," she con
cluded, with pardonable pride, "am
sakj to resemble her."
Ym do," said her mother; "at leatt
we) think you look like her picture, but
yott.Tjeed not imagine, you presumptu
oifs child, that you will ever be half so
bejwrtriul."
"Not even in that dress?" queried
listen, with an alluring smile.
"I lxive not fully deeided that you
slfall wear that drees. I have often
thpnght that there may be something
Id) the suggestion that people do re
torn" "Not as entitle?" suggested Helen's
aunt.
"I do not know. All my traditions
teach me to respect that which 1 can
not understand. I have often been
shocked by the unkind haste with
. which the living appropriate the pos
sessions of the dead, as if they were
eager to obtain the spoils."
"We brought nothing into thl world
" began the aunt.
"Don't," interrupted Ilelen; "I take
quite another view of it. As my great
grandmother had her day, why should
she object to me having mine? She
does not need these gowns of hers in
her present condition, and should be
pleased to know that after lying in
state for so many years they are to be
brought out by one of her descendants.
1 am quite willing to run the risk of in
enrring her wrath, if you will let me
have the gowns," added Helen, turning
to h( nmther.
Mrs. King shook her head, and the
subject was dropped.
Hut another one was evolved from it
later in the evening, when Helen and
her lover, Walter Iiarter, and a visiting
young couple disappeared to the library,
leaving their elders basking in the fire
light, so grateful on the spring evening,
and telling to each other a collection of
ghost htories, such as people who don't
believe in ghosts can always tell better
llian those who are more credulous.
There was Aunt Lavinda, from La
Porte, Ind., who told a story current
in the family ever since the tlrht part of
the century, concerning her great-aunt,
whose son camo homo at night from a
journey, entered her room, took off his
coat, which was wet, hung it over a
chair, wrung the water out of his hair,
looked at her steadily and intently, but
did not speak, leaving tho room linally
without breaking the silence. The next
morning the mother sent to his room to
waken him, but he was not there, nor
had his bed been slept in. An hour
later came the news that he was
drowned at the very time that his
mother had seen him, while crossing a
ford on his way home,
"Tbat ws merely coincide noe,"ld
u fin de n!ecl3 matron who was present;
"hla mother dreamed it all, of course,"
"I should find that aft hard to account
for as tho ghost, " said a cousin, looking
over her shoulder.
"I should hate to think there woro no
ghosts," remarked a Virginia branch of
the family; "I'm sure I saw one once in
our gallery. It was dressed in white
and strode up and down just like real
ghost do on the stage. Our dog howled
and the light all burned blue."
"I sat up with Aunt Tolly Williams
the night before she died, and heard
three cracks of a whip right over the
looking-glass. And they broke the
glass into three pieces," related an
aunt.
This had been told so often that the
original number, "ono crock of tho
whip," had leen lncreas sd to three, but
no ono noticed that the ghostly fact
remained.
"Did you cver'account for seeing your
father after his death?" asked one of the
relatives of her hostess.
"No, never! Ho had been dead a year
on that night when I went to tho hall
clock to boc if it had been wound up.
You know the clock one of thoso high
ones? It has been in the family for
generations. It's up in tho nursery
now. Am I put my hand on tho door to
open it I saw fnther standing close by
me with a smile on his face, as If some
thing pleased him. I was frightened
and ran from the hall, but afterward I
looked Into the clock and found a deed
to some land wo were dispossessed of,
hidden there. I suppose, really, I only
imagined seeing him. You know I
don't believo it was really father, but
it was strange it should lead to finding
that paper."
"Another coincidence," sukl tho fin
do slcclo matron. "When my ghost
walks in with it head under one arm I
shall look for a rational explanation of
the phenomena."
"Talking about ghost.-,," said an
elderly widow relative, speaking in a
weird, mysterious voice, "did I ever
tell you how my first husband appoared
to me when I was thinking about
marrying the man who was afterward
my second dkl I ever speak of it?"
"A hundred times to my certain
knowledge," said the fin de slecle ma
tron under her breath.
"If I never did, it was because I don't
believe in ghosts myself, but that was
Just one of tho things I couldn't under
stand. I was sitting in the parlor just
as if it might be now, only I was alone.
There came three raps"
"Mercy! goodness? what is that?"
Xo one responded; no one moved, and
for thst time, at least, tho ghost of the
widow's first husband was laid uncere
moniously something ghostly was hap
pening under the very face and eyes of
ho party.
A puff of cold air ran through the
room with such startling rapidity that
the wax candles flared and went out,
leaving only tho light of the full moon
through the lace-draped windows,
mingling with tbe flickering firelight
in a strange, spectral glare, which was
focused upon the square of velvet car
pet in front of the portrait they had
been examining thut very evening.
I5ut what was this? Had the picture
come to life und stepped out of its
frame? Tho startled group at tho fl rot-hie
could see only a shadow there that
puled uud flickered, but stepped bodily
and audaciously into tho light. Was it
the semblance of the portrait, or was it
really the beautiful form and face of
that woman of a century pa.st, wear
ing -tho sams clothes which fluttered
noiselessly, diffusing a cold sweet per
fume that affected the senses like the
incense of death? Her eyes were fixed
as in the picture, but the red was on
her lips and cheeks, and her little feet,
peeping from the flounces and laces of
her wide skirts, wore the clocked stock
ings and ribbon-crossed slipper of long
ago. There she stood before them all,
yet never noticing them, and then sho
began to dance in stately measure a
minuet, as it some unseen cavalier
were treading the meature with her,
and all the time that cold wind was
blowing and a strange, quaint melody
was being played by invisible hands,
aside from which there was not as much
noise as if hummingbird had flut
tered its wings.
Then somebody screamed or fainted,
and in a moment the music ceased; the
dancer was gone. Somebody lighted
all the gas burners, and there was the
portrait Just as it had already been,
and when the four young people, hear
ing the hubbub in the library, came
rushing in they were overwhelmed by
what they missed, nor dared they cast
discredit on the evidence of their elders.
But youth throws off impressions
easily, and Ilelen and Walter and their
friends made such charming Jest and
gayety out of It that with the help of a
warm supper the elder were finally in
duced to throw off the mystery and
solemnity of the astral dance, and
looked upon It a a mirage, something
quite explainable by certain laws of hu
man occult development. Helen even
declared, saucily, that her groat-grandmother
must have been a giddy girl to
como back for a brief visit to earth just
to dance that tiresome old minuet, and
then she looked at Walter and blushed
vividly.
"You see, you dear old stupids, you
had talked ghosts until you were quite
ready to see one in every corner. If
great-grandmamma did appear, thon,
it was to signify that she was quite
willing that I should 6top into her
shoes."
"I assure you that no power on earth
would persuade me to ever allow her
clothes to be disturbed in my life-timo,"
said Mrs. King with emphasis.
Helen looked at Walter, and her pret
ty mouth mado a distinct shaping of
the letters "P-h-e-w!"
Walter looked at Ilelen and tele
graphed the word back again. Hut
none of thoso worldly-wise people ever
came near suspecting what might huve
l)cen the real truth, not even when they
saw Walter's auto-harp, the most dreary
musical instrument that was ever con
ceived, lying on the hall sofa the nest
day, or when they alluded, as they oft
en did, to Helen's wonderful resem
blance to her great-grandmother's por
trait. Detroit Free Press.
NAftrlOWLY ESCAPED LYNCHING
Murder namhnrgvr Has Close Shave
for His Lira.
Minneapolis, July 11. ACando, N. D.,
special to the Journal says:
Albert Bamburger, the young murderer
who killed Hen Kreider, his wife and four
children onFrldsv, narrowly escaped lynch
ing hers last even lug. He had been caught
at De Loraine, Manitoba, a few miles from
the border, and agreed to come back with
Sheriff McCune, of Katusey County, with
out extradition papers. The sheriff and
his prisoner arrived here yesterday.
A mob of determined men were wait
ing for bim with the fixed plan of hanging
the murderer to the nenrest telegraph pole.
But Sheriff McCune had been amply
warued of the danger and was equally de
termined to get his prisoner through this
(Towne) county, Into Katnsey.
He chose a circuitous route and suc
ceeded in eluding the mob.
It Is a question, though, whether Hnm
burger is any snfer In Ramsey county than
he would have been here, as there is tli
wildest excitement over his bloody crime.
DIsiDlaied tha Hill With Costa.
Boston, July 11. Judge Colt Um dis
missed with costs the bill in Equity brought
by Levy Brothers of New York ior au in
junction to enjoin Wultt & Bond of this
elty from using tbe word, "Blackstono,"
in selling cigars. Tbe court holds that
the complainants failed to prove thst they
originated and first adopted tha word
"Blackstone" as a trade mark.
Stock Broker Davidson Cos to the WolL
Philadelphia, July 11. The fnilure of
A. Y. Davidson, stock broker, trading as
A. Y. Davidson & Co., was nuuounced on
tha Stock Exchange yesterday afternoon.
The announcement bad no effect on the
market.
NO SILVER PURCHASED.
The Treasury Department Arrayed
Against the Brokers.
Only 71 1.3 Cents Par Ounce Offered by
the C.overniuant forjthe White Metal.
Tha Offer Not Aeeepted.
Washington, July 11. The Treasury
department yesterday again arrayed itself
firmly agaiust the silver brokers. It was
the customary day tor making the pro
portional purchase of stiver on the July
account, and 43,000 ounces were offered.
The prices asked ranged from 71 to 73
cents.
They were regarded as too high by Act
ing Director Ptestou, who made a counter
proposition offering 71 1-3 cents per
ounce.
That is one half cent less than the de
partment paid for its silver last week, and
apparently tho silver men are reluctant to
come to these terms, for up to tha close of
office hours no acceptances were received.
