to her until all my urraup-uieiits had
Iteen made. I did not wish to U-jn-rsu.id-eil

The sexton had assured me that I
would fuel his "a nice, quiet plati-,"

I was iiiilismsed to le critical of my

There was was nothing hemic about my

would have induced her to j-ntcr the

Ovasionally she had entered it by day

she would lie Mrs. Herbert (.rant. When
I K-lt her it was nearly midnight, and the
nesiiilii-'ht was as brilliant as if Novein-U-r
had arrived, instead of S-ptcml-er.
I UHik a short cut through the ti ine-ten-,
and my wav lay tlirouli the part
that U-lonpe'l to the Hollanders. It oc
curred to me that the hour was near
when they were said to app"?r. I smiled
at the thought, and tnidpil bravely on
throupSi the rank, overprow ii (rrasn. that
was heavy with dew.

I was Hpproachsna a new-made prave,
and I wondered w ho had li-n buried

nessed a si'ht that almost caused my
heart totvase iHiitinp I saw hea I rise
slowly out of the prave and stop above
it. I stood motionless for a moment,
while my eyes were tived ujioii this ob
ji1. I could si-e that a chastly fa.v was
tuni.sl toward me. Then I foip.t that I
was not su;s-rstitioiis. I forpit that I

fnun itsphastly depths.
For some minutes 1 stood thinking of
what I bad sts-ii. and was undecidul
whether to advainv or nlr.ice my steps.
I eolifess that I was tempted to leave the
praveyanl and sleep that night at the
village inn. Hut njion n-flitlion I dn-i-dul
t'uat this would Ik- a foolish pmceed
ing. 1 had still some elTi-.Msat the Iaslpe,
w hich I would have to tpack and c.utv
with me on the morrow .
I thought of making a wide detour
around the new grave, but I did not like
to lie driven out of my path by an im
acinable thing that I did not understand.
I b -pin to have a suspicion that I was
the viiiim of a pract ical joke, or of an i
optical delusion. In-solved tomntinne
in iny former path, and to f.mv myself
to p:ist very close by the new made grave.
I further resolved that I would never tell
F.thel that h.-r prophn-ies tunii-niing mv
superstition had tmne true.
I fixed my eyes iivm the grave mid
went slowly towanl it. Fvi-n after all
thisdelilN'ratiou. my heart U-at furiously,
and my head swam until I could s -ar.i-lv
eontml its niovements. My nerves wore
most (willfully alive to my melancholv
surroundings. Hut I went forwanl until
I was within twenty pavs ..f the grave.
Then I stopped, for slowly and nivster
ioitsly rose tluit horrible head that had
driv en me back la-fore. It time as liefon
up out of the grave. 1 saw its ashen
countenann-, its sunken eyes, its w ild,
disheveled hair, and I timid not face it.
1 turned and ran as 1s t. in-, over craves
and help-, until I again fell. This time
I stumbled over a spade that the sexton
had doubtless dr"ped and forgotten.
When I n-painiil my f.t-t, I looked ltck
and saw in the moonlight the rank, wet
gram. and the new grave; but the ghost'
or man whichever he might be was
invisible. He had doubtless pm down
into his grave again, in the same silent,
w ierd-like manner in w hich he had risen
fnim it.
Should I turn my liack forever tin this
uui-niiiiv place ? should I go to the inn,
and send for my pssls at IteathV Lodge,
trust ing that the sexton's pssl wife would
Imck them Should I leuve everything
lien-, and encourage a fear that had twice
aln-ady mastemJ me?
Altera time I thought I would go for

an explanation of this mystery. If I

I bad prev iously done. I bad lf-t tiiuti

that I would run away once more if the

that the carriap' road would afford me

I Usik another pnsaiitioii ap.iinst dan

with me. It did not .i-ur to me then
that it would Ik- a curious. weap..n to use
against a diseiiiisslitil spirit.
I had appr.ia hed the prave Is fore at i
its side, but my new course broilgh uie i
close to its f't. As I came very near I j
saw, what I had not imagined before, I
that a man was lying on the ground Is-- j
side the ptave. He was on the oppiisite !
side from that on which I made my for
mer approach. As he heard my footsteps
he an.se to a sitting tiire. his bead
ti.singa little als.ve the prave. I realized
the situation at oiiii-. From my former
approach. I had lsi-n dm-iv.-I into stip
jising that his head arose fnun the j;rave,
when in n-ality it had aj.-ared on the
side opposite to which I had been stand
ing. When I had run away the man had
resumed his former riiliniiig sisitim.
I dn ide.1 that he was not a ghost, but a
tr.unp w ho had wandenil into the grave

I would have left him to n-suiie his
.slmuliers but for an an ideiit. As I start
til lop. 1 saw him cast bis ImsIv anss
the grave, while be utten-l a cry that
made my blissl inn chill. I knew by
tin- sound that be was insane, an 1 I fear
ed that he was .lying. I run into the
house and called the sexton. We two
managed to p-t the wn-hhel t real lire
into the Inlge. We Wiitcbed at bis lull
side until morning, when he died. I
learned that his w ife had lic -n kill. !
flint- days ls-fon-by being thrown from
her horse, and the shock of hearing of
her sudden death dethroned bis reason.
The unhappy husband had stolen into
the cemetery and lain down to die 1s-

One of the etivntrie characters of the
tow n of I.one Tree, in the Ixwutiful val
ley of the Platte, at tin- time of the build
ing of the I'nion Pacific Railway was
Jimmy Crane, a tinifc lieaU-n frontien
mnn, uneducated, uiilishtil and, as a
traveling missionary omv sil, unpslly.
His life has I wen spent went of the au
Kuni waters of the Missouri, and he knew
as little of the ways of civilization as an
Aiache indiaii kiK.wsof tbeimsleru plan
of salvation. He was a dead shot with a
ritle, an ardent lover of whiskey, and an
exK'rt at draw poker, but aside from
these he had no n ligi ills atvompiish
ineilts wt'ilh s-aking of.
Hill I's-niB tt, the Justice of the Peace
in and for that precinct, had a misunder
standing one night with Jerry Mason
over the very iiniMirtant jsiintof who
played low in a game of seven up, and
after the funeral it lK-came necessary to.
elti t a man to succeed him. With that
spirit of m-kli-ssncss which charatlerizes
the frontiersman, awl a a rich joke, the
lsivs noiuiiiattil Jimmy, and to carry out
tlw joke, elected him. The high honor
so uneximlttlly thrust ujsin the old man
broke hitn all up. but he at once mse to
the digiiity the sisition and Is-gaii to
tiinib his hair daily. Then- were vague
minors lliiting alsiut the settlement that
he had token to wearing. ss ks. These
slandcnais minors, however, he indig
nantly denied, and even went so faras to
make limits of heavy lines for contempt
ot court if they were ersistcd in.
His knowledge of law and of the duties
of his position was limited in fact, he
didn't know the .liffen'iitv ls'twit-n a
writ of replevin and an wt of Congn-ss,
and ii.iiMiii distinguish a -iut' warrant
from the ten commandments, but he as
sumed the resH.nsihility fearlessly, and
smiled when the boys addn-sstil him as
'Judge."

A tew days alter his installation into !
otlicc a young couple uppeareil In-fore him !
to pi in ivried. Jimmy was in a qiian- j
dary. lb- had never neeii the inarriace ;
ccn'iuoiiy .erfoniied. and telling the can- j
didale to l- seated, he jiimN-il on a horse ;
ai: l pillojfd to a ranch a half-mile dis

''I'vcrv Man His Own Lawyer. He
scan bed ils p:igcs closely, but could find
nothing bearing upon the subjti f, and in ..
di-spair be ptllnpul kick to Clancy's s;i-
loon and consulted the Imys. tine of
them a recent arrival from the States, ex- J
plaiifd to the old u.aii how he should
i!..)iii the ivrcinoiiy. He listelml at
tcnlively, and when the tenderfoot con
cluded his explanation, said :
"Say, young fellow you jist hop over
there n' splice 'em an I'll pive you $
fur the job."
"I'.ut that wouldn't Ik; lepal, uncle Jim
my. 1 am not an officer and have no au
thority to perform a marriage ceremony."
"Hang the authority I You jist bulge

to all this tmuble o' pittin a tvnMiiony in
this country, anyhow , an' you kin marry
em pkkI enough for all practicable pur
poses, Just hop over there an' cut lotise,
and I'll make it a twenty."
The young man llatly n'fuscd.and Jim
my determined to worry through the
embarrassing affair as he l-st could. He
started for his oltitv, and the crowd fol
lowed to sec the fun. Hiddingthe couple
to stand bt-fim- him, he said :
"lt-arly k'luved fellow citizens, these
young jKiiple now apptar befon! you to
indulge iu the holiness of matrimony ac
cordin' to S riptur' an' the laws of this
court. If any of you know s any cause
why thev shouldn't make the plav vou
want to squeal right at this stage of the ;
game or corral yer jaws on the subject
flrev'er!norc.,' !
No objit tion was heanl and the justice
coiitiiuitsl :
"Hoi up yer right ban's." " ;
The couple hhishinp!y ols-yetl. '
"1 io you an' each of you solemnly sw 'ar 1
that you will marry each other in the
presence o' this Court ; that you w ill do
the squarthing by each other; that you
will give t.-verylHsly else the go-by and
ling to each other throuph life till death

er hit-hand an' wife according to the law j
an' the prophets an' the rules an' n-gula- I
ti in o' this honorable Court in sich cas-
es made and perv ided, so help ye (iotl?"
The couple so sw on-.
Jimmy was sweating profusely over the
exertion, and, after scratching his head j
to colht't his tiioughln, continutil :
"Then I, James (Vane, justice of the ;
K'ace, announce you husban' an' wife
now an' fumverniore, world without end,
amen, an' if the style don't suit you, you
have the legal right to appeal to the Su- '
preme Court at Omaha any time within'
sixty days. Now light out, an' me an'
the Ihivs will go and drink to yer health." 1
The couple seemed to lie perfotlly hajt- i
py, and they, walked away hand in hand,
their suti-taiiiu-d fan's wreathed in smiles
of unmistakable happim-ss.
