--rlcd the da g:i
--b tor of one of hi •
' neighbors; but was destined to have but
a short spell of connubial bliss, for his
wife died within two years of their wed
ding day, leaving hlmababyboy. The
baby flourished; was sent to school, n
college, Anally entered the army, am:
at the ago of 24 was ordered abroad for
two years and probably forevor. 111 =
father was now a merry old fellow of 7<i
or thereabouts; and although be had
passed the allotted age of man he strov
vo carry on the pleasures and execssse,
in which he had delighted thirty yem -
before.
It was now near Christmas tine, it in:
as Captain Jack Helstoad hau been
warned for foreign service on the 15t.1i 11
January next, the squire was dete' mined
to have the jolilest Christmas imagina
ble.
Ho Issued 100 Invitations to friends
old and young, a good percentage o:
which were accepted, ami huge prepara
tions for the celebration of the grand
festival were begun.
Captain Jack Helstoad, with half b
dozen brother officers, who wore all, like
himself, ordered for foreign service, ur-
on Christmas ovo : but as the bul;
of the guests were not expected uu ii
Christmas morning and the day follow
ing?
"Gentlemen," the squire cried, "we
have the joys of feast and Vine, and can
freely indulge In our loudest an ! mer
riest jokes. Tho kauquetlug ball Mud
r.ng with our hilarity, and tomorrow,
the blessed day of our Lord's nath ity,
shall be dedicated to gentler pleasure ,
when the rooms and pussagos rustle with
the skirts of woman and echo to tin-
IfiUßle of her feet.'
'i'tUo havi-l* o. Co cordially lcspomlfiU
to by the guests, the squire prepired
them" for the great banquet he had, in a
fueusure, so far as the magnificence
went, retained until the last moment a
a surprise. The splendid dining-bah
was ablaze with light, which fell upon
the glittering glass of the decanters and
other vessels In a shower of pearly
gleams.
And so the banquet began, and the
wine flowed, and the ceiling trembled
before the continuous battery of shouts
and laughter.
••Gentlemen," shouted the squire,
struggling to his feet, "I am an old man,
but in my veins flows the fire of youth.
My seventy-.-ixth Christmas evo I haie
enjoyed more than any preceding, will
the brave form and face of my 6on, Cap
lain Jack Hclstead, before mo. Here s
to his health, long life and happiness.
Amy he be as good uud jolly a man a
his father, and live to as ripe and houor
ttbie an age.''
Thi>u|uestionable toast was drunk with
boisterous mirth, and Jack's bosom
friend, Lieu e ant W\ mark,rose to reply,
"At 7t> 01.1 *Oll ;al host looks twenty
years younger, and his wit is as spark
ing as the best wine his cellars contain,
both of which we have this night par
taken of freely. Here's to another
Christinas gathering—ay, and twenty oi
tlfem at which Squire Uoistead may pro
side !"
"My frionds," Jack exclaimed sud
denly, "arc you aware that our company
cumposed of the unlucky number of
thirteen? If the witches' oracle is to lie
believed, the same persons can never sit
down together at a similar gathering,
and tho one who leaves the table first or
last will be in the spirit land ere we can
meet agai -^"
"And Gou forbid It may be you, my
boy," the squire said with emotion,
the thought just crossing liim that his
son was shortly bound for active Borvice.
"I have no wish to disparage the choice
'of your superiors, but I think thoy might
havo chosen another, who was not the
only sun of his father.'
"And he was a widower," chimed in
Lieutenant Wymark, merrily. "Away
with gloomy forebodings, and let us
make a compact, one and all of us, to
meet Captain Jack at a banquet In this
same room upon the very first Christmas
eve he again spends in England."
"It shall be so," declared tho squire.
"Ay, be it twenty years hence, in the
body or the spirit. Every Christmas the
banquet shall be spread in anticipation
of my son's return. Gentlemen, do ye
all agree?"
' "We do!"
"Then all stand up, and with clasped
hands repeat after me what I shall Bay."
, The entire company at once rose up,
and having formed a circlo by clasping
one another's hands, the old squire con
tinued :
"We hereby solemnly swear to meet
again, either in the spirit or in the flesh,
011 the first recurring Christmas eve upon
which Captain Jack Helstead returns
home from foreign service, let it be one
or flfty years hence, in the same hall,
and to feast according to the custom oi
the place."
With tho advent of Chrlsmns day the
full complement of guests arrived, with
plentv of pretty girls, and then followed
flirtations and kisses, and dancing and
Skating, and the 15th of Jan. when
Jack Helstead had to Join hie regiment.
The gay party broke up, and soon aftoi
the young soldier and Lieut. Wymarfc
wore on their way to India.
A severe engagement was reported be
tween the British and the rebel tribes
whom they had been commissioned tc
subjugate, and the terrible news came tc
the old squire that his gallant son hue
been killed. That was the last that hit
friends, had ever seon or heard of him,
tnd they never doubted for a moment
that he was killed. But the squire in
dulged in a fond belief that the boy
would vet return,
"I will prove If he is dead or not," he
uij. "Itemember, Wymark, the terri
ble compact we made to meet again on
the first Christmas eve my son Is able to
spend in his own house, and depend upon
It he will como, either in tho spirit or In
the flesh. Next Christmas eve the ban
quet will be spread, and then the truth
ef his fate shall be known to me."
Again wore tho windows of the old
hall ablazo with light, and the host sat
it the head of the banqueting table, but
now his face was pale, arid no smile en
ivrcatbed his Hps. Ho expected a spirit
guest to night. One by one the guests
ui rived, until all were present but the
young master of the house.
A sorry speotaclo was this feast for
Ihe guests trembled as though stricken
with ague, until the clocks had chimed
;he hour of 12; aud the white haired old
•quire rose to his feet a light in his eyes.
"Gentlemen," said ho, "I have cause
to rejoice this night, for we have proved
that Captain Jack still lives. You re
member our compact, to meet once
more, tho whole thirteen of us, either in
the flesh or tho spirit. Only one Is ab
seil', my brave son. But, gentlemon,
had his spirit fled from this world, it
wi uld havo returned here tonight to
keep good the oath raado. Ho is not
Head; my son lives, and my life is re-
Hlied with hope." Lieutenant Wymark
concurred with his host, and then the
neglected wines and viands were drunk
and eaten, and every heart was lighter.
Before breaking up the squire insisted
Hurt the oath should bo repeated, his
mind confident that Captain Jack would
surely return. As on the preceding
Christmas eve, tho company stood up,
and, with hands clasped, repoated after
1 he squire the same oath.
Seventeen years huve passed, and
Christmas is again at hand, but death
had been busy during tho past six moir.hs
i-moDg the friends who had so long met
ou a Christmas eve ut Ilalstead hail.
The squire was dead, and throe other
gentlemen who wore advanced in years,
so that of tho original thirteen only eight
were Known to live.
Within a month of Christmas the
lodge-keeper was found dead in tho para,
ni* death being hastened, no doubt, by
Ihe breaking up of old ties aud associa
tions. Of tho eight living mombers of
lhe dread compact only ono was absent,
Lieutenant Wymark, his profession hav
ing again called him again to India. Two
weeks before the seven mot in solemn
conclave to discuss the matter of their
oath, for it must bo confessed they much
regretted their participation in it. Some
voted that tho matter lie allowed to drop
as being perfect ly senseless, arguing that
as tho hall was empty and the keys in the
hands of the trustees they could not
gain admission. The majority, however,
proposed that thoy present themselves
at the gates, at least, according to the
compact.
Finally this was decided upon, each,
however, hopeful that this would term
inate what was becoming a dreadful ter
ror to them. Captain Jack was not dead,
but had managed to save his life by pre
tending to conform to tho roliglon and
custom of his captors, hoping some day
for an opportunity to escape. This op
portunity never came, and his fate would
probably have been forever shrouded in
a mystery bad not Wymark been borne
to the same stf nghold. This strong
hold was immediately stormod by tho
•ui.l. ,u, ,u 1....-11 Co ICS. dim. to
liberty. Our two soldiers now made di
rec. for England, and it was only by the
most determined efforts that they ar
rived in the hall in time for tho annual
feast. It was just 11 o'clock of Christ
mas eve.
"Just in time," said Wymark, "and
the old place is filled with light. What
a constitutiony our father has. Why, ho
Is near upon 93 years of age, and last
Christmas looked as well as ever."
"Dear old chap," murmured Captain
Jack; "but how strange everything
•seems. There is not a footmark in the
| -now, and tho gates look as if they had
t not been opened for days and days."
As he spoko a spectral liguro issued
from the lodge,and the gates swung opon.
It was the ghost of the keeper, and as
he beckoned to the men he regarded
them with burning eyes.
"Ah, good Silas," began tho captain,
but pause on feeling the tightened grip
of Wymark ou his arm.
"Hist, Jack. 'Tisasplrit. Godforbid
that we have come too lato 1"
"My father!" moaned the captain.
T hey pushed pust the spectral- gate
keeper, and entered the hall, the doors
of which were openod with invisible
hands. Up to the banqueting chamber,
the table of which was spread for tho
feast, though not a sound could be heard
of any living thing.
"A dread revelation tonight," gasped
Captain Jack. "I wonder how many of
tho thirteen still live?"
"Wo 6hall soon know," was the reply
of Wymark, "for it is nearly 11.30."
The soldiers seated themselves in the
same chairs as they did seventeen years
before and waited. Meanwhile the other
living members of tho compact made
their way to the gates, hoping to have
t-o turn back again, but.to their horror
the Iron door swung open, and they
weie compelled to go forward by some
unseen power. Upon entering the ban
quet chamber they recoiled at tho sight
of Captain Jack; then explanations fol
lowed, and tho nine men seated round
the table. .
"Four of us gone," said Wymark.
"Why, all wore here last year! My
friends, my oath may have been an un
holy one, but wo woro forced to keep It.
May God forgive us, and 800 US safely
through."
"I want but one glance of my poor
old father," said Captain Jack, "but can
It be possible—?"
He stopped, for the hour of 12 had be
gun to strike, and nine strong men
gazed with expectant horror one at an
other, for tho sounds of rustling gar
ments were heard about them, though
none but themselves were to be seen.
As the last stroke lingered In the air,
toe whole of the chairs wore occupied by
thirteen men,four of whom were specters.
"My friends," the old squire said, in
his well-remembered tones, "we meet
according to our compact; but It has
been the fates of somo of us to bo called
to the spirit land. We are here tonight,
and 1 greet you one and all; and may the
emtio of heaven fall on and roat upon
ray son. Captain Jack."
"Oh, my father!" sobbed the soldier,
springing forward to embrace the phan
tom ; but as he did so the room was
plunged in darkness, and the nino men
huddled together in fear. Soon thoy
found tiiat the feast had gone—the
snowy cloth and the warmth—and but
toning their coats they hurried away.
The hall door was closed and fastened
and they had to force a window. The
outer doors were looked, and the lodge
wus empty.
Soon tho Christmas bells wore pealing.
The compact fulfilled, no more was the
banqueting chamber Invaded by phan
toms at tho Christmas feast.—Boston
