ceive the pilgrims on tlio further side of
the bridfrr less river are dressed after tho

Bunyan's genius, that his work is found

eou removed from Mi-dina county, Oiiio,
to .1 farm near Davenport, Iowa. Mr.
Robinson male the purchase lie fore his
family left Ohio, and bontrht of a real es
tate agent in Davenport. It appeared
that the farm had changed hands (several
times within a few years, and that the last
owner Lad lived on it less than a fort
night. There was a good frame house on the
place, the barns und shells were In good
repair, nnd the land was certainly rich
and fertile.
Mr. Robinson got the place at what he
called a great bargain, a id he had few
questions to ask about the former owners
and why they left.
As the bouse had leen tenautless for
Fveral montiis, there was need of repairs.
Robliison hired a couple of painters, nnd
wtts with them about the place for three
days, all taking board at a near farm
house.
On the evening of the first day one of
the painters went over to the house after
a pipe he bad left. Tho time was just af
ter sundown. Thekitcbeu door was not
locked, and be went in t hut way to go tip
ttairs, leavim- tho (im r wide o;h-ii. The
floor leuuim from the kitchen tn t!ie cel
lar was shut. The door leading into tho
tittiug room wits open.
As the painter halted in the kitchen
for a moment to look at the new paper on
tho walls be beard a sound on tho cellar
stairs which filled him with amazement.
It was .it if some body wns walking back
ward down the stairs and dragging some
thing w hir h bumped on ev.Ty step. This
iieiso c-ntintu-d until the bottom siep was
readied, r.u l then there was a dull blow,
a haif cry, and all w..s still.
The painter pulkd the do-.r open and
asked who v us there, but all was quiet.
At this same moment the kitchen doer,
which I.e. h ul left wide open, aud the sit
ting roo :i door, whic h be bad noticed was
open, h-jth alatunied shut. Then, from
tome upot l.e could not locate, came the
fecutids of sobbing- and r.ioauiug.
Tbe painter had the courage cf the av
erafcr liiau, hut he could not f-ice tliat.
He pulled the bark door Open and lushed
out, all desire for na evening's smoke
having beendriven from his mind.
However, on the way bsck to the other
house Le ninde tip his mit;d to say not li
ingof his adveuture, fearing the ridicule
which i. always justly or unjustly beajied
upon the man who becomes frightened
over what, be cannot see. His pale faco
and Bgitatcd manner were subjects fcr in
quiry, but he excused himself on tho
ground c.t sickness. .
Tha next morning be wondered if be
b:d really heard what be thought be had.
Tho more he thought -of it the stromo r
hecuice Lis coiivictka that be was t he vic
tim cd setae temporary hallucination. To
prove or disprove, this he put up a job on
his comrad ! Ly borrowing his k:;ife and
leaving it rn the siil of 01:0 of the win
dows. H t'-'tk nctici as they jtiit w.rk
that iTi-ry door in the lower part of the
Louse wi'.s shut.
After supjir the tainter nslced fYrlii.s
knife, a-i w.-,s expected, ami when told
where it had been left ha set out. for the
house. He eiiU-red ;.Uo by tl.o back door.
Th-.' knife v.-s in the yittin;- room.
As he erased the kitchen, tbo sitting
room d'ior, which, be saw was shut, was
violent. y 1 .iied. The painter st opped i.u
bii trails, believing at lirst that souio
trnmp Wiis in the house. After half a
minute tho door shut with a slam and tha
cellar doer flew open. Then came the
sounds which the other bad heard, and as
they died away the back door shut to with
a bang.
Tea man, e.n he readily acknowledged,
flew out cf the Louse with bis hairon eud.
Not being so fearful of ridicule, Le re
turned to the other house, called Lis com
panion out, and related his adventure.
When they .-.me to compare rotes they
agreed th t tLe Ion-owns haunte-l. Thsre
was no wind F'irting to operate tho doors
in that iranncr.au 1 if there had been.

This cry awoke tLe boy from his deep

Robinson was an old soldier and a b-p.v3
man, and he did not hesil ue a moment to
Ta-ginnn in vest-igation. lie-lighted 11 l.s.:n;
and wclit down to the cellar, and then bo
made a trip up stwtirs, but Le cou.d: net
discover the slightest causa lor the r.-.ys-terious
wwtids, kt alone the curious man
ner in whie'u the doors bad operated. Tho
rest f.f the family retired to bed, but ro
loa-'.ed bis revolver and sat up ull night,
fully determined on solving ti.e mystery.
Nothing further occurred, however.
When mornin ;j came he tried bard to
convince hiur-c-ifthat everything had co-no
about from natural causes a cat iu t'a
fterret, rr.t s in 1 ho cellar, a. draught cf air,
or something tiie sort. His f.miiiy tries!
hard to aic-c with him, but tiiey were so
timid tint none of them would yo up
stidrs or down cellar .".lone.
Af.i r supper cf the f.eeond night, R i)
insoii made tt t-arefitl inspection if tho cel

few stone jars. He iiuqa-ttt-d the garr- t,
utid he found it entirely empty. lb
bounded the various walls, but theruwtra
lio Iii '.ii.g p'.at.-es he could discover.
No one w . nt to bed. The cellar tlo-i-was
shut, the hit tint'-rooni door left open,
und two lamps were left, burning.
At 9 o'ch-ek Robinson went upstairs
(done, determined to investigate, the mys
terious sounds, which seemed to start
there. Ho s it for half an hour alone in
the dark, w hen the sobbing and iiiuiiiiin ;
suddenly beg-in. Tliere foul 1 b.Mio in take.
The toues were tho.se of a woman,
who seemed to be pleading and grievin;;.
They had rot continued aisjve two min

them as coming front any particular spot,
when he heard a doordown stairsslaia to,
and the wife ar.d children screamed out in
terror. He hastened down. The silting
ich,ui door was shut. He opened it." Ti.o
ce'lardi-or was wide open. lLesoiint: ; tl

Mrs. Robiiiou was so worked up thai, j-.'.jo

Tlio next day Robinson took his family
to a count ry hotel a few miles away, hired
