' Och! Tia c:ar;in."!he says, "tuid Lar you ecme tack and left r.ui.e of youi wits behind you? Och. praie l t the saints for thu mercy! Hut don'1 (fo near the bad place aain, don't, Tim darlin'." Then she went on to ask if I hai seen the ghost, and so uid all th. neijhbors and the colonel himself. But nier a word would I tell them oi what I had Men. I kept rr.y moutfc shut till the next night, and after that, too. and just an hour before midnight, started off for the castle again. I made myself snug once more in thai room with the sound window, anc waited for the ghost It struck mid night at last, and I listened for th groaning and the creaking-, but nivei a sound could I hear. "Well, I says to myself, "the ghot'i getting into bad habits. I shall har to tell him to keep better time." One o'clock came, and still there wasn't the ghost of a ghot "What's up now, I wonder?" says L "Sure he hasn't cleared out of this al ready. Perhaps he's gone to get some othnr ghost to come and help turn mu out, and can't find one at liberty. Well, I'll gire him to sunrise, anyhow." But the sun roe. and never a token of the srhost could I see or hear. .So I just roiled myseif up ajrain on the win dow-eeat and went to sleep. It was the same again the third night, aiid, faith I begun to get un easy. "What's to become of him, I won der?' thinks L Then, when I had con sidered a bit oer the matter. I says to myself, "Sure, he's hiding away some where. I must go and see what he's after, at all." So I takes up my candle, and wains along the passage, and across the great hall till I got to the eaht win? of the castle. There I tttood and listened a bit Sure enough, I heard a groan, but a long vay off. So I shouted: "Hallo! ghost: where are you. at ail?" It rvas at the end of '.he long gallery in the east wing thet I found my gentle man at last There he was. looking out through the window, as though he was admiritg the pretty country un der the moonlight Hut he di.lr.'tVe ru enjoying himself, poor creature, and kept on groaning worc than ever. "What a chap you are for groanir.g!" says I. "as though that could do nny good. If you're sorry for what yoii usea to (to wuen you were a. ire, whr can't you think itoreraad keepquiet?:' As soon as the ghost heard me, he turned about and, if you'll bellere me, fee looked fairly startled. 'Why do you trouble me. man?' he y. "Begone and leave me in peace." "Och!" thinks L, "is that your tune? H'i a very different sort of note from what you sang the other night" Sol era: "Snre. I am waiting for gome of those terrible things you threatened, to do to toe. When are yon going to begin?" "Base slaver' says the ghost, dapping his hand on the ghost of a sword. "Wirrasthrew!" says I, 'It's no use rour rlfiino- thai v.. . I Your sword . ean't do more harm than this pipe ol J "j! for the Prent mine; not so much: and you know it" J,ow' Bidd7 O1 1 ou should hare seea the look of the ghost's face as I said these words. He seemed just bursting with passion; his eyes opened wide, but they couldn't flash, as all the fire had gone out of t&era long ago. Sure, no one ever saw a ghost in such a rage before. Then he threw a look of contempt on me, and turned on his heel and mad off. He didn't run exactly, for that Would not be genteel In a ghost, but he lipped away pretty quick, and I had a bit of trouble to keep up with him, with my game leg. But I followed him pretty close through one gallery after -another, and at last he stopped short. "Soldier," says he, more quiet and -eiril than erer he had been before, "I beg that you will leave me In peace. My doom is terrible, condemned as I am to walk the earth by night in expi. ation of my crime. Why add to my wfisl punWhment'.'' 'Why'" say L "Sure, don't I wan't to get you out of this place, where, as I said before,, you're got. no busi ness to be, and which belongs to roy old colonel? Lf you must haunt something, go and haunt some ruina that nobody lires in, and not a decent castle like thin, that only wants a bit of pluiubir. and carpentering to be 'made ail snug and comfortable for liv ing folks." "I cannot i.avc it," .suys the ghost; "It is my home. It woulJ increuso luy punishment tenfold were I doomed to haunt a sti aiie alxxie. " "Faith!" s.ays I. "I don't enre n straw for that Hut if you won't come out of this, bur.! I'll turn the tables on you and haunt you every niybt, whether you like it or not" Och! the groan the ght p-site wh'-i, I suirt ttm! It was the best I had heard yet. Then the- creature was oft again, and I followed him up till the sunrlBe, when he ineltod away like butter in the pun. Well, I had rare sport with him. Xight aiu-r night I hunted him np and left him no peace at alL Sometimes I talked to him, and sometimes I didn't; but 1 was always at his heels, chasing 3, j him round the castle and driving him ' fair crazr. It went tome against the grain with me to worry the ghost of a gentleman-born in this way: but I thought of my dear old colonel, and I tiever let him be. Heaven forgive me for the hard words I gave to that poor ghost: the bad names I called him. in sulting him won and worse every night Och! I led him a life. At lat one night he turned on mo and says he. with pitiful tine which pretty nirh went to mr heart: "Will nothing make you eease this I persecution?" . "Well." says I. "that depend What bare you to offer?" I "What can I offer?" says he. J "Why. now." says L "look here, ghost Couldn't you put me up to a p'xxi thing? Don't you know of a hid- , den treasure somewhere? I hare heard that ghosta often do that" "I know of none," says he, looking very sad and sorry. "Well." sars I. if I thought you coulc) do nothing, and was only trying of you. I don't want any treasures. I only want you to get out of this place, end so. if need be. I mean to haunt you ay long as I lire." "Ah." --ays the ghost "there is com fort in that" O00D-M0HT "Is there, indeud?" mys L you make that out?" IIow dj "You will continue to haunt me long as you live?" says he. "He it so Hut do you forget? What i your mif e.able speck of life to mine? Hare not lived in the spirit for nigh 20 years, and shall I not thus exist to al eternity? The littie that is left of you base life is but a drop in the ouuan c my own. For that short space I mm be patient" I could scarcely keep myself froc laughing in his face, for I knew tha was what he'd be coming to, and I wa ready for him. "Och!" says I, "that's how you lool at it, is it? Sure, thin, ye make a bis mistake entirely." "What mean you?" says the ghost and I could see Utat he was bothered all over. "Sure, I'll show you what I mean to morrow night," says I; "if I lire, please Ood." W'ell, a couldn't get a word more out of me, for I had rot a scheme up mT. whih 1 nt V keep tomy- Bourke, my pretty iwwutsri, oiess ner: naa a bit o( a younger brother, 14 years old or there abouts, who was always getting into scrapes and mischief, breaking win dows and chasing the ptga, and fight ing the other boys as bold as a soldier. So whan I goes daw a to the village agaia, I gets Thady inta a cornc all quiet, and nobody by, and say I "Whist! Thady, my boy; would you like to see the ghost' Thady, he turned pale a bit at first, and then those wicked young eyes of his lighted up, full ef mischief, and he grinned. i. "Sure, Tim," says he. "that wowld L Is there a ghost then, anyway?" Than 1 up and told him all about the "bad baronet" and What 4 poor crea ture he was, with never a ha'porth of harm in him; and how I'd been chivy ing him all around the castle night after night till I'd half worried the rife out of him. And Thady laughed, and was just mad to go with roe and see the ghost By St Patrick! that boy had no more fear in him than there is in an old wooden gate-post, and he nerer shook a limb when we got into the cas tle. "Who is this urchin'.'" aays Sir Rode rick, fuming and glaring in the old vay. "Oeh!" says I. "fchnme on Jny bud manners for not introducing him. This is Thady O'Rourke, my brother-in-law thut is to be, and he hn.- come here to help roe with this job." "I do not understand you," says the ghobt, looking morn bothered than ever. "Maylie you don't" says I; "but I'll soon make you. I hare brought this boy with ine to help me Ut 1 aunt you, uud he's Just coming here with me night utter night, to learn the business, so us he cun take it up when Fro donn with it." Never a word did the ghost say; but he btarted buck a step or two and garo a groan. "And," says I, "that won't be the end of it; for Thady when he grpws up, and i I lam under the tart will" just get an other bny like himself there's lathings of them about to learn the busiiu and take his place after him, so it will go on if you stay here forever. Arra.li now, ghost how do you like that look' out, anyway?" Och! the poor ghost wa a sieht to bo swn jut then. He stamped, ni.d h swore, and he fumed, and he scowled at Thady; but it was all of no us-. for Thady, seeing he couldn't do any harm, laughed in his pasty face, and wa mad to worry him. Well, we led him pretty dance that night and the night after, aud Thady just enjoyed the fun, h did. We h'i nit. been a.t It for more than a week or so. when one night we couldn't find the jrhot anywhere. We tramped through ail the galleries, upstairs and downstairs; but it was all quiet, and nerer a creaking, or a groauir.;. or a token of the ghost did w- m-v. "What's become of him, anyhow?" says Thadr. "Whist!" savs I, "look roriU-r, t Thadrr I And. och! it was a prc'.ty jicht we saw. Tar down in the lon we'.lc be tween the trees, what should we see but the old ghost with his sword tucked under his arm, and his bundle on his shoulder, walking off a fa.t as he could tread, with his old wig trail ing down his beck behind and his spurs gleaming in the moonlight "Hy the powers, Thady!" says t, "we hare made him clear out at last" And we both shouts out of the window together as loud as we could: "A good-night to you. gho-t and a safe and pleasant journey!" Well, if you believe me. Thady and t watched night after night up at the old castle, to see if the ghost was to change his mind and come back: but never a token of him did we discover. TO YOU, GHOST He was gone for good and all; and then we let the secret out to the neighbors, and the colonel, and all the country round. At first they wouldn't believe it. but sure, they wouldn't hold out lon; far the colonel himself went up to the castle at night with us and saw the, ghost wasn't there at all, which showed it was true as a miracle. And then what doings they had! Si Peter, he brought down builders and carpenters and gardeners from Dublin, and had the old castle male as good ai new, and all the ugly weeds pulled up out of the pretty walks and gardens. Then they furnished the place like acj palaoe, and the family came down an lived in it and gave a ball to all thi quality for miles around. And the colonel was as good as hit word, and better; for when Biddy and me was married he gave us the ht promised, and situations at the castle, with nothing to do but to keep the oU gaost out As for Thady, be had a job, too, ot the demesne; and proud he was of thi work he'd done, helping to make th eviction. And I gathered a lot of other ladi about me one day, and I says to them, says I: "Look here, boys, don't you take heed of ghosts, or any suchlike. The world's just fuli of 'em, and there's not a ha'porth of harm in m if you pluck up and face 'eth, and sho 'em you aln' afraid. Half the troubles and bothera tions o life is nothing but ghosts, and if you let 'em haunt yo they'll do it; but if you turn round and laugh at 'em, it won't be long before they take them selves off like the morning mists before the blessed sun." The Kaffirs are great swimmers. They can do things in the water which other boys would look upon with as tonishment For example, a EaiBr boy can ford a stream, shoulder high, running as swiftly aa lf shot from a torrent The way they accomplish the feat is thiee Just before entering the water they ;nA a huge stonr comecimesj as heavy as themsolres. and with the help of a companion place it upon the head. A weight like this gives the boy balance, and he can keep his foot ing against the hearict stream. If ho were torop the stone he would be so light the water would sweep him off his feet And this is just one of the Kaffir tricks to accomplish things against tide and flood Why Prick Carrier t'aender.
