"I have," wat the solemn answer of a man whose word was aa good as many a man's ceth. That altered the aspect of affairs. It was now n matter of !L-cnion instead of mirth, ami Ieacon HarKrave iuslated on hr-arini; a full and complete account of tl. int-ruber'a interview orencountor with the su;er:iatural visitor. "Last xii-htw.is as dark aa well, not nuUe as tlark as to-nicht but atill too dark to le pleasant," the interviewer of tho H.trKrave Wood trhost. commenced, "mid I had to go to Lauahau's to aee nlniut cetting Lis plow, tot mine Lad broken " '.Never mind the plow; tell ns of the ghost:" "As I w.is saylnjr, I went to Lenahnn's houae, but he waa not at home.

"Nt-arer & mile,' was the deacon's re ply. "Well, on I went, whistling just for compnny' sake, fur -I was rather ner vous." . Hero the deacon became fidgety, for it was his favorite idea that fear waa only for children and nervousness an attribute of women. The narrator, however, ap pmireil not to notice the deacon's mauuer, and continued: "I had got to the narrow bridge which crosses the etream, when I thought that maybe a pipe would be a comfort. I took out my tebneco and loaded up my old cherrywood p:pe" the HuITjiIo wa al waya very exact In bis descriptions "nnd then felt for a. match. I put my finger into each of uiy pockets, but not a match could I fiud. I was mad, for I wanted a smoke worse than anything. What could I do?

The deacon was ill at ease, but was de termined not to allow auy otio to see t hat he placed even the very flight ust reliance on tLu story. lie tried to laugh, but it was iaickly effort, and his f ace gradually pal;J,whcu a brother member MuMrnly ttk:J: "Is not this about the tioje of year wheu old Jake was murdered i that xtrj wocmI " "Yet; he was killed on the eleventh and bis body was found ta that Very at ream on the thirteenth." "Why, yesterday was the eleventh." "rio it was." "Then that would be old JaVe's ghost, and it will walk again to-ni-ht," was the assertion of one of the ddrt meuiliers, who had often euterla.ned the roaring Iuftalot-s with stories of the supernat ural. Don't go home to-ntght, deacon," ang geated one of the members. "Not go home! What would Tabitha saj?" "Ho!" This was followed by a lend laugh, for all knew that the deacon was really afraid of his better half, and on only one oint bad been able to hold his own, aud that was the memltersbip of the rltih. The hour for departure had c.mr, aud the good dcacou started ou Li homeward Journty. He had laughed at fear, but it mnt 1-e ackuowledj-ed that he had great difiiriilf y lu keeping up hi. spirits aa he entered the narrow path of the wood. Cold shivers pae4 continually over him. aud. as he afterwards tid. "it teemed that hia backbouc had turned to Jce." t-'t ill, on he went, thoughts of Tabttha overcoming bis fat increasing nervous ue.ss. The ttridge over the stream was reached. Although t!ignified bvtiienauie of bridge it in real.ty only consi-ted of some fallen trees which had been flung arrow tho narrow chasui through which tho stream flowed. Tho deacon locked straight ahead, but no ;-n of the fcupernatural waa vihibie. h'titl hn tretulaled, for the wiud blew sttotivly down the little val ley. aud Mar grave was never, even in daylight, very sure-footed. He stepped ou ttie bridge and a sudden gua t of wind raised hi. hat anil sect it scurrying along among the trees. He trembled and tottered on Ihe frail bridge, antl then, as no one was looking, he lowered hinielf ou bis knees nnd pro ceeded to cross as became a IlufTalo wii all fours. Never had that bridge seemed so Ion?, but the longest lane has an end, aud the deacon was priding hiuiM-if that the wort was over, when a blood-curdling shriek struck ujon his ear. His hair stol on end, every pore was opened and thn cold rpirar i ji burst forth. lie was afraid to look up, aud yet what could be do Again c.nue the horrible shriek and tho deaeon tiered tip a prayer for his safely. He wast rem blinv in every lim". his Mood act met! f ror.cn in his veins, hihI he felt he was fast losing all power over his limbs. A conscionsarss seized him that he was being watched. . A strango fear possessed hi . What if old Jake'a ghost really did baunt that wood Fast the thoughts flitted through bis brain and he remembered that he had often treated old Jake with sharpness. Nay, on that very nig . t when the old man had met with aucb a terrible death in the darkness of the wood he had turned him away from his door. Jake had loaded himself with too much whiskey and had begged shelter of thedearnn fur the night. But that washy pillar of the chnrr-h up braided him with his Urunkecueas and closed the door iu his face. All thla he now remembered as hr knelt on that frail bridge aud listened to the nuearthly lurieka. It was horrible! How he regretted the nnkind and very ucnelj-hboriy act. Had ho sheltered the old man his life would have been aaved. Hut in hi. self-righteousness be had sent the drunken man to au untimely end. Thfi deacon prayed for pardon, but even as be did so he feared that forgive ness was not for h'm. Ho auCered a'.l the torturra of the lt, aud the a gory wa so great that he wiahed for death to put an end to his miseries. Laugh at fear! Never again could he do so. Mock at nervousness! No, forth.it night be was the mest timid and nervous man inall I.'ew Y'ork :ate. He had tried to forget . cruel act towards old Jake, but conscience was now torturing him for it. Conscience would not slumber aud would not bury the past in oblivion. The minutes were developing into an boar, aud be must rouse himself or p.riah in tho cold. He felt Lis leard f reeling solid, while his clotbes, which bad been bathed in perspiration and dew, were as stiff as glass and see rsed nearly aa brittle. Ha pulled himself together and stood Tip. There in f rout of Lim be saw a pair of eyes glaring like tbosecf a phantasma goric demon. They burned into hia very soul. What shonld h do He dare not go forward, for those eye were like dagger whose points already had penetrated his heart. But he could not go back. No. he had but courage enough to turn bis face away from the penetration of those balls of fire. Why had be not taken theawlvice) f his friends and stayed in town that night, or, letter atill. have listened to his wife nnd missed tt e meeting of the Itoar imr Tin-aloes? Why, indeed? Buff ilo for sooth! There never was a latuh more timid and helpless. He looked steadily at those eyes; they seemed to get larger nntil, like great anus, t hey shut out everything else. They were getting Hearer. lie would staud atill, for in reality he dared not move. The deacon thought bis last hour had come. He thought of Tabitha and the farm and conld not be reeonciled to death. He looked into the bl.ir.ing orbs, now gett inn nearer and yet nearer. Him breath had sunk to a spasmodic gitp. lac .cit tte veil., i.i Lis lace swell ing aa though they would burst, his sinews became like whipcord, bis ryes were getting dim with the? perspiration which, despite the cold, came from every pore. He could bear the breathing of his awful antngonist. It was regular, while his was fitful. Now he was but a yard away. One more second of tirue tnd this deacon wonl J be no more. It was awful; never did human bcinf experience so great torture. He locked, andfis be saw a monster in front of him he gave utterance toashriek which echoed aud re-echoed through the woods. Again be shrieked, and as hn did so he found himself being pushed from the bridge. "Deacon! I fcay, dencon! Wake np. or are you going to stay there all niglit?" The deacon opened his eyes aud saw the wife of his bosom standing close to Liui and shaking hint vigorously. He looked round and found himself sitting by the table iu bis ow u kitchen.

Tabitha laughed and the deacon's face grew red with excitement. He jumped to his feet but sat down again quickly. His legs, he said, "were all pins and needles,' but he miased the chair aud Iiy at full leugtU upon the hard LitcL"?a floor. Tabitha agisted Lim to Ms feet. He looked at the clock. Its bauds pointed to the hour of nine. At oik e the deacon thought be bad been in a deliriuui of fever aud t hat perhaps days, it might be weeks', had elapsed since he had met the t-pe tre in tlie wood. "IIo-.v did I get Louie f;otu the club" be again asked. "You d,d not go." -;-, "Not go?" "No. I asked you not to go ont to night, but you laughed at me.

"I don't know what you are talking about, but you have never left this room to-night." It was humiliating, lint true. Tho deacon had missed tl.c meetiug of the Roaring Buffaloes for the first time in thjrty years, but he Lad learned some lessons. He was a changed man from that day.

IliE PUtiUE OF HER LIFE Twenty-five years ago, jupt at sunset, a motley group raight have been seeu ai seuibled o:i the piaza. of a rude country iun, known as The Black Tavern, from its appearance. Its warped and twi.-ted boards were blackened by the storms of many a winter, and its old faditd sign citaked dolefully in every posing breeze. It was iu a quiet conntry hamlet, shnt In from the bosy world by green bills, many miles from any railroad, and re taining all the prliuitiTe ways of half a sentury ago. Tho men bad ernigrepated, as was their visual custom, to sip seme of Landlord Aiken's cidertell a few stories, aud re tail stale jokes. Suddenly a tall, stalwart man, with a peddler's pat k on his shoulders, and lead ing by the hand a little girl, emerged from a cros-road and approached the group. The man and his pack were too commou a sight in those days to at tract attention, but the child clinging to tiis Laud fa.-cii.ated iheir gaze. She w as a girl of ten Years, small for her age, with a bright elfish face, bluck Lair aud eyes, the latter large aud bril liant. Her skin was brown from expos ure to the sun, he r dress old and faded, and her feet bare, but small and shapely. "Good evening, friends," said the ped dler, depositing his pack on the piazza, and taking off bis straw hat to wipe hia heated brow. "Have you come far?" asked the land lord, ptixbinx forward a couple f chairs. The stranger lookonn aud seated the little girl iu the other, and threw hi. arm proteotiiigly around her as he answered: "From S , three days since. It" fully twenty miles, but my little compan ion is not over-strong for such a journey." "Is it your Utile girl?" asked one of the men. "No; I Lave neither chick nor child. I am taking her to her friends. Can you tell me where Squire Wagner lives?'" "Hel ives over there in the graveyard," replied the landlord, pointing to a grassy enclosure on the hillside opposite. "Is there nuy cf the family living?" "One Mi. Dorothy, who lives up in the old farmhouse youder. The rest are all dead, unless it be Fred, the youngest, a wild baruiu tcaruiu fellow, who went oj years ago." "This is his little g'.rl; be Is dead." said the ieddler. . "When did he die?" "I've iiot time to teli yon now," said tho newcomer, us be fult the child start nt t'-e question. "What tort of woman is Miss Dorothy?" "Oa, a sort of crab-apple spec;es, yoa kt.ow. Had a disappointment iu early life that dried up all her sweetness," said cue man. "Tlie farmers hereabonts get btr to look into thelrcidcr barrels to make vine gar," responded another, and i; lau-,h went round. , The peddler looked troubled. ' "Will alie be kind to the little girl?" he t.kel. , "Oh, yes: the wouldn't hurt a worm, and ftbe'll get plenty to eat. Fhs ln't stingy, but she isn't one of the soft, lov ing kind," eijerly put In a man who had nt before tken a part in the conversa tion. - - ii "jj "Weil. I guess we msy as well be. sroinP;, sir," nid the peddler, rising. "Can 1 leave my park iu yciir care, Liutllord, till I come back?" An affiruiativa answer being given, be took, the child's band and set out for the low f .irn.hou-e a half mile tlistaut, w hose we-tera windows were all aglow with tha rays of the fce'.ting sun. As tbey neared it, the little girl looked eagerly around to se what her new home was like. S'diie duxks aud geese at play ia a clear brook ciUfcaJ Lar to clap her hind s. They entered a neat yard, and passed rip a ua rrow s.oue walk that led around the house, the girl looking with evidotit snt:sfs' ti:n at the beds of bright flowers ou either side. Autqieudoor gave them the view of a tiJy kiuheu. where a couplo of women were arrangiug a bountiful repast, and t wo hired men were performing t heir ab lutions at. a spout in the rear. The ped dler knocked softly. "IsMivs Vuoriu?" ' - "Yes. Weat tlo you want ?'" Andjthe tldsr woman stepped to the door. SUo was tail, and very energetic iu her movi-munt s. "I've brought you a little giTl for com pany, nia'ain." "Me? Brought me a little girl for com pany? What do you mean, sir? I've no t:mM for t. .L I 1 1 c "But perhaps you have time to greet. your brother Fred's li'tle orphan child." Miss Dof.tby s'ajrgeredagslnet the door post. "Fred r" she gasped. "He is " ' "IWd! and has seut bis little girl to yon." For a moment the lady seemed over whelmed, but recovering herself, turned to the cl. il l. , What is y.iTir name?" she asked. "Ginav. ma'am." I "Whataa outlandish namel Betsey, did jon ever hear the like?" "Never!" exclaimed the maid-of-ali- work, advancing with uplift ed hands. i "My papa called me so, and oh, he's dead:" Antl breaking froiut hedetainiug baud of her friend, she dashed down into the orchard, and iu a moment was en sconced iu a large apple tree np among the thick branches, much to the cousier nation of a couple of robins, who had settled down I o housekeeping close to the little pill's perch. The mother bird, as she brooded over the foil.' litt le eggs, peeped over the side of the nest, apprehensively, while her mate, on a twigclose by, cocked his head on one aide to watch the intruder, but never a chirpor rustle of feathers betok ened their presence. "Did I ever!" exclaimed Betsey, as the trio watched the flight and the nimble spring into the tree. Oh, dear, she'll be the pl.igne of my life," murmured Mi Dorothy. 1 "?he'H lie comfort anil n blessing to you.ni'i'ata.if you've only n mind to have It so. the Itasa loving lit tletie.irt. Only to think how she waited upon her father, soothing nnd tending hint to the last like a woman!" He then told the lady bow be met her firother nt a lowly cottage, where bis strength had failed, as he was trying to make his way home to his friends; but be was iti tli" last stages of consumption, aud died in two days. He entrusted bis child and a few papers to the care of the kind-hearted peddler, who iviw drew tho latter from his pocki t anil handed them to tha lady, who was wei-pititr quietly. He then wrnt down through theorehanl - - --1.. - jri was. "Ccme, Gipsy, your anut is going tc love and care for you, and you must love her." The girl, who had sobbed for a few mo ments violently, now sprang down with a bright face. He led her back to tho house. "Her nine is Gertrude, ma'am, but her father called her Gipsy. 1 hope you will be a mother to her." "I'll take gotsi care of her." aaid Aunt Dorothy, as she beut dow n and kiosed tho upturned brow. The child Unshed with plrnsnrt, nr.d allowed the ja-ddlerto depart with a quiet g.)cd bye. &le was seated at th.- t:ljle, and pnrtof k of .n!i-!,.f hi. rr:e and Lread ai.'l milk with a r--r- li. A new life no-.v commenced for tha child. For months she 1;. 1. 1 had no home, but wandered with her sick father, de pending itjim tiie charity of si rangers, wherever they chanced to be. Now tie was u.aile comfortable. The two woiut u, though shocked at her wil.l, untutored ways, were kind, nnd tried to lead her in the way she should go, and she learned to love tlu-in both, ev n while iier perver-e iiat ure led her to set at ilell.ince nil their ruies.

The men smiled when sbe came, and tho wt)i:.eu loved the helpful litt V girl w ho kept the babies so still aud told nice stor ies to tLe bigger children. She saved a little two-year-old boy from drowning one day, aud won thereby t he everlasting gratitude of the parents; mid when one of the poor women fell ill, begged some nice things of her aunt to carry to her. One dark November night she and hor cunt Dorothy happened to bealone. Bet sey had gone to sit up with a sick neigh bor, and the hired uiau lived some dis tance away. About midcipht Gipey, who slept in a nnudl room next to her aunt's, was awakened by a scream. Springing from the bed, she rushed into the outer room. Two masked rcen stod by the bed, one holding a lantern, while the other held a knifo to the woman's throat, uml a voice that Gipsy recoguizi-ti. tiaid: "Stop that acreechiut. nnd tell us whera that money ii you to ik for those cows to day, or I'll toon t-tt le you.'"
