It was early morning, nnd Thomas,
Lord 's valet, had waited on his mas
ter's American guest to see what he desir
ed him to do for him.
There certainly was something odd in
the gentleman's manner, and he had not
the look of one who had cnj'oyed refresh
ing slumbers. At last, just as the man
turned to leave the room, he spoke:
"Thomas, I have been awake all night."
"My lord will regret to bear it," said
Thomas.
"Something odd disturbed me," con
tinued tho gentleman. "One of the maids
kept me awake all last night."
"One of the maids, sir?" cried Thomas
'Yes, Thomas. She kept running iuto
my room at least every half hour to look
in the glass and admire herself. She cimo
out of that door" he pointed to one
in a corner "and walked straight up to
tho mirror. The light from tho night
lamp fell upon her face. She seemed to
catch my eye in tho glass each time and
smiled at me as she did so. She wore a
short, quilted skirt, a littlo bla-k ixidice
and full white sleeves. She had a gold
cross tied about her neck by a black rib
bon nnd wore a little cap on her black
braids a young girl with a French face,
Thomas. Do you know her?"
Thomas made no answer. He looked at
the gentleman steadily and grew pale. At
last he spoke:
"If I have the honor of understanding
you, sir, the young person came through
the door?"
"Yes," said the American
"More than once, sir?"
"About once an hour from midnight
until dawn."
"And smiled at you in the glass where
you saw her face? I understand she did
not look townrd you as she passed, sir?"
"Right, Thomas."
"May I beg you to do me tho favor of
looking into this room, sir?"
The gentleman followed Thomas to the
door through which he asserted that the
young person passed and saw nothing but
a closet about 12 feets quare, with no door
6ave the one that opened into tho large
room, and high in the ceiling n little win
dow through which a bird could scarcely
have flown. It contained no furniture
whatever.
"Thero must be a secret door or or
something," cried the American. "lam
not mad, and I was wide awake."
"Yes, sir," said Thomas still more sol
emnly. "An ordinary young person tould
not have contrived to disappear, but the
young person you have seen has been an
apparition, sir, for more than 200 years."
"An apparition!" cried tho American
gentleman.
"Yes, sir," replied Thomas "an appari
tion, sir. I think you have seen lady
's gentlewoman Rosette, sir. It is
ten years since she was seen before to my
knowledge, but she has been seen often."
"I should like to hear more about Ro
sette," said the gentleman.
"Yes, sir," said the valet. "This is an
old family, and about 200 yeArs ago there
was a Lord Herbert, who was a gay, wild
young nobleman and was a great admirer
of the ladies, sir. However, by the time
he was 30 ho was married and settled
down and began to be much thought of
and respected. So was his lady, too, sir,
though she was not handsome and was
haughty.
"One thing, however, the English serv
ants did not like she brought a foreign
maid with her from France a girl named
Rosette and as pretty as a picture.
"One day, sitting before her glass, Ro
sette combing her hair for her, she heard
her husband come into tho room. Her
back was toward him, and Rosette was
behind her, and they forgot the mirror,
and, so, sir, she saw in it, without stirring,
both their faces, and she saw the girl smile
at her husband, and she saw him smilo
back at her. Sho understood everything,
but she never stirred, and she never said
anything to him, no, nor to the maid, sir.
"This was hor room, sir. In that little
closet Rosette had her bed, to be ready if
she called her, but one morning my lady's
bell rang furiously, and the maid who an
swered it was told to do my lady's hair,
for Rosette had gone back to her nativo
country.
"All the time she was doing it tho girl
thought she heard a faint? moaning sound
and was frightened and went back to tho
rest palo and trembling, and before night
it was well known in the house that that
littlo closet there was not only locked, but
nailed up.
"After that my lord seemed to take to
his wild ways again in n measure and
drank n great deal, and my lady lived
much alone. There never were any chil
dren, but they both lived to be old indeed,
and at last my lady died in this room and
was buried in the church yonder.
"jay lord was as old as she by that time,
but as soon as the funeral was over ho
went into my lady's room and stood a
long whilo before the locked and nailed
closet door.
"Then he said to himself, 'I cannot die
until I know, 'and ordered it to bo opened.
There were hundreds of nails In it, but
they were all out at last, ai'd tho lock was
forced, and my lord arose and tottered in
to the closet.
"It wasn't-niucli they found, only a few
bones and an ornament or two, but it was
plain that the girl had been tied hand nnd
foot and bound to the bed and left there
to die if she was not murdered outright
by the jealous lady.
"Rut ever since, sir, whenever there Is
going to 1)0 misfortune in tho family, who
ever sleeps here in this room sees Rosette
come out of ber closet and smile in the
glass. Xo one ever sees her face, only its
reflection. I hope no trouble will follow
now, sir."
As for the American, he slept elsewhere
the noxt night. Ho had no admiration
for ghosts, even the family ghosts of no
blemen, and ho had no desire to seo Ro
sette siuilo at him in tho glass again.

Mr? and Mrs. Laurence Franklyn had
got tired of lifo in tho country.
"Don't you think, dear," said Mrs
Franklyn, "it would bo well enough for
us to return to tho city?"
"Yes, I do," said Mr. Franklyn.
Miss Julia Lesiardi, Mrs. Franklyn'H
pretty 18-year-old sister, clapped hor

"Good, good 1" cried she. "Now I shall

have some sort of chance at morning con
certs and the opera again."
And house hunting commenced in good
earnest.
But it flagged after the first edge of en
thusiastic enterprise was worn off. None
of the houses suited exactly.
"I don't care," sobbed Mrs. Franklyn.
"It was all Laurence's fault, taking this
horrid, damp hole."
Miss Lesiardi was just making up her
mind to another season of frogs, damp
kitchen and fresh eggs at 8 cents apiece,
when Bee came exultingly back from the
city one cjening.
"Oh. Julia," she cried, "I've seen the
sweetest littlo gem of a house!"
"Been house hunting, eh?" said Miss
Lesiardi, who had got the tea ready. The
thirteenth "help" had gone off in a huff
that morning.
"Well, no, not exactly house hunting,
you know, but I saw the bill, and I went
in. The neighborhood delightful, the
park handy"
"And the rent?" eagerly demanded MKs
'Lesiardi, with eyes like blue moons.
"Only $l,b00 a year."
"Oh!" said Julia. "But isn't that a
great deal?"
Not when jou con-ider the price of
houses in general. I'll go back tomorrow
and secure it; but, mind, it's a secret. I
don't want Laurence to know that I have
taken any trouble."
Mrs. Franklyn had retired to bed when
her husband came home. Miss Lesiardi,
however, was up to pour his tea.
"Well, Julia," said Mr. Franklyn trl
umpliantly, "I'e found the house we
want."
Julia looked up with almost a scared ex
pression in her face. "You haven't taken
it, Laurence?"
"No, but I shall tomorrow."
"I wouldn't do anything without con
sulting Bee," pleaded Julia.
"I shall give her a pleasant surprise,"
said Mr. Franklyn, buttering a muffin.
"Remember, Ju, this is between you and
me."
Early next morning Mr. Franklyn went
to New York. Bee followed in the next
train, while Miss Lesiardi breathlessly
awaited the crisis.
Mrs Franklyn returned rather earlier
than her sister had expected her, vt ith a
bright, flushed fate.
"Well?" said Julia breathlessly.
"I've agreed to pay $2,000 a year for
It," said Mrs. Franklyn.
"Two thousand!" echoed Miss Lesiardi.
"I thought it was only $1,800."
"Well, so it was, but there's another
party, it seems, anxious to secure the
house, and'' .
"Oh, nonsense!" exclaimed Julia.
"That's only the professional landlady's
ruse."
"Oh, but it's true," persisted Bee, "for
I saw his hat on the sideboard, and I
caught a glimpse of his legs walking
about in the upper stcry to see u the paint
was in good order on the second floor, so I
said I'd give her $2,000."
"And suppose the other party who, 1
dare say, was tho plumber or gasfltter or
perhaps the carpenter, come to see about
repairs should offer 52,500?"
"He wont,'' said Bee confidently.
"The house isn't, worth that."
"But I really think, Eee, darling, you'd
better speak to Laurence."
"So I will," said Bee, "this evening.
Ho will see that his wife is something
more than a dead letter in the family, but
I want you to go and seo tho house this
afternoon, Julia." .
The level rays of the soft April sunset
were shining into tho pretty little double
drawing room of tho liou-o on Millard
square as Bee led her sister exultantly
into it.
"Just look at those marble mantels,"
she said, "and the pattern of the cornices,
and the pierglasscs and tho gas fixtures
go with the house, and"
"Oh, I beg your pardon, ma'am, I'm
sure!" said a falcon nosed, elderly lady,
who advanced, bearing with her a smell
of dyed bombazine. "I'm sorry to disap
point you, but"
'You have not let the house?"
"Yes, ma'am, I have. A poor lone
widow like mo has her own interests to
look to, and tho gentleman offered $2,500 a
year if I'd sign the papers at once, which,"
with a reflective look at her pocket hand
kerchief, "I did."
Mrs. Franklyn rose in great indigna
tion, hor voico rising accordingly.
"I really think," said the, "I should bo
justified, in placing this matter in the
hands of the lawyers, and"
"Why, Bee, my darling!"
"Laurence!"
Tho folding doors slid back, and Mrs.
Franklyn found herself vis a-vis with her
husband.
"Here's the gent himself," said tho an
cient female. "Which ho can explain."
"You never havo taken this house, Lau
rence?" almost shrieked Mrs. Franklyn.
"Yes, I havo, my dear."
"But I offered $2,000 for it!"
"And I have signed a throo years' lease
at $2,500," said tho husband somewhat
sheepishly.
Miss Lesiardi burst out laughing.
"So," said she, "your profound secrecy
has cost you just $500 per annum."
"Nevor.mind, Bee," said Mr. Franklyn
soothingly. "It's a gem of a house nny
way, and wo'll'bo as happy "as tho day is
long in it. I only wish I had confided in
you about it."
"And I wi-wi-wish 1 hadn't been so ob
stinate and hateful," whimpered Bee.
"Come," said Miss Lesiardi, "let's
make haste, or wo shall lose tho 7:50 way
train." New York News.
A Yonngr Statesman,
A small boy who lives on the North Side
is a model of obedience. Ho can get into
as much unexpected mischief ns any
youngster, but he never willfully disobeys
orders. Tho other day his mother was go
ing out, nnd, as tho weather was bad, she
Instructed him to stay in the houso dur
ing her absence. It is not her habit to
mako threats, but this time she gravely
informed him that she would be obliged
to whip him when sho returned if she
found out that he had been outdoors. For
some time ho gazed longingly out tho
window at tho other children playing in
the snow, and then, just as his mother
was about to go, ho went to her and said:
"Say, mamma, if I let yon whip m
now, may I go out afterward?" Chicago

Unaccountable than that of Tom Jlaguiro'fl

Arthur brought out 'Tho Still Alarm' nt
thn Fourteenth Street theater nino years
ago. Tom Maguiro was business innuagor
there and was standing in tho lobby of
tho theater ono day when a wretched look
ing specimen of tho street Arab pushed a
door open nnd went in.
" 'Say, mister,' ho said, 'hain't yous got
somethin for mo to do? I don't want to
beg nothln, mister. I want some money,
but I wnnt to earn it.'
"Tho eager and straightforward manner
of tho ragamuilin rather struck Alagulro.
" 'Well, what can you do?' he asked.
" 'I kin do anything dat hain't bigger'n
I am, mister,' was tho confident reply.

and as tho theater was just then sending
out boys to distribute dodgers' he gae tho
kid a bundle and told him to distribute
them in a certain district and come back
and get a quarter. The boy hurried away
with the dodgers, and, before tho time was
up, he was back to the theater
" '1 put 'em where you told me to, mis
ter, ' he said, 'an 'I've come back to get '
tome more to carry, so's I kin lili out mo I
time. See?' I
"The fact of a street boy being willing
to do more work in a given time than he '
was hired to do was something no new and
strange that Manager Maguire was amaz
ed. He said nothing, but gave tho boy
another supply of dodger-. In taking
them the boymadosoniesuggcstionsalxmr
the best places to distribute them that,
were so good that Maguire told him to fol- i
low them out. Tho little fellow was back ,
on time. Maguire handed him the prom I
ied quarter, and the kid a-ktd whether j
he could have another job Ho. was told
to come around the nexr morning at 10 j
o'clock and they would see. As 10 o'clock i
tho next morning, however, there came a
sharp tap at the box office window, and, ,
looking down, Mam.ger Maguire saw tho
nigged little chap of tho day before.
'Here I am, mister,' lie said. ' W'at a'
yous goin to put me at dis time?
Mnguire told him ho could distribute
-
some more dodgers and handed hint sonic.
Tho boy took tho paper, stood in an unde
cided manner a moment and then boldly
said:
" 'Say, mister, kin yous do me a favor?' I
" 'I don't know. Wiiat is it?'
"'Well, I'll tell you, mister,' said the'
boy. 'I been sellin papers lately an stayin
at de newsboys' lodging house. See? ,
Well, tomorrow me week's up, an I owe i
de house 00 cents, an I want to pay it. De
25 cents you paid me hain't enough to do

eat. See? Say, kin yous put up 50 cents
on me sal ryr
The cool audacity of this request al -
mot eanied Tom Maguira's breath away. '
Ho gazed at the wretched -mite of human
ity in mute astonishment. Tho boy met
the gaze with a steady look of his own,
and, before he knew whit ho was doing,
Maguire had handed th3 boy 50 cents nnd
told him to come again at the usual time
next day and get some more work. Tho
kid thanked tho manager and went nut
wltn his dodgers.
'""That'll bo the end of him, sure,' said
Mnguire. 'We won't see him again.'

Perchance the disembodied spirit may
Come back among the scenes of care and

To learn how- useless was its former way,
Sow little M ere the greatest things of life.
How very petty w ei e its many w cs
Who knows?
Perchance the spirit, when the life is o'er,
May sink in apathy so long and deep,
Of earth and heaven or hell to know no more.
Till the last trump shall rouse it from its

And gaze around with immaterial eyes.

Beware the stinging gilie and quip.
Think twice.
Lest you yourself should feel the whip.
Think twiio.
Withhold the gossip's idle sneer.
The thrust that draws the bittir tear.
For fortune's favoring gale may veer.
Think twice.
Is charity a quickened art?
Think twice.
And does it thrill both hand and heart?
Think twice.

That mercy you shall some day know.
With others' faults be kind, be slow.

When the Qniills Called In the Wheat,
There are never days as joyous as the child
hood days at home.
And no spots so full of glory as tho places
where we'd roam.
Say within some wayside orchard, where their
lace tho spiders spun.
And the shade was an oasis in the desert of
the sun.
And the green fields spread about us and the
blue fields spread above.
And the whisper of the leaflets was as low as
murmured love.
While a rent was torn through silence when
from out their green retreat
Pairing doves began their cooing and the
quails called in tho wheat
Why, to tarry by some streamlet was a glory
for the sight
As w e watched the shoaling suckers flash like
bars of splintered light.
There was peace within the stnging of the
farm hands in the vale.
There was cadence in the biatmg of the read
head's tiny flail.
Out among the clover blossoms or the grape
vine's fragrant glooms
Bee hums sounded like a hymn that lingered
in the blooms.
And we had our childish fancies, saw our
castles riso complete.
When the do es began their cooing and the
quads called in tho wheat.
Would that we could call back even one short
day of ail those days.
For a stroll about the meadows and the old
familiar ways, c m
And, w hile drinking m the beauty where the
wild rose cheers the dawns
Witli the fragrance spilled from censers swing
ing on celestial lawns.
See an old form at the homestead, as ber sing
ing meets our ear
In a voice whoso mtisio somehow is the dearest
one may hear.
And we halfwish life had ended with the
childhood isHius sweet.
When tho does began their cooing and the
quails called in tho wheat.
