12 THE and her eyes great, black caverns. Then let- ting her hair fall down her back and over her shoulders, proceeded to wrap a sheet about her and glided up and down before the glass until Mabel felt the cold shivers run up and down her back. Looking et the clock, she saw it was just five minutes to twelve. Quickly catching up a candle, she hurried out of the room and down the hall, then up the stairs that went to the third floor, so that she should be coming down to the second floor just as the boys reached it. Horace and Clifford had been laughing and telling jokes about the boys at college until the fire burnt low and then, pushing their chairs back, prepazed to go to their rooms. When they were half way up the great staircase, the clock in the hall struck twelve, Clifford whis- pered “Brooks’ Hall Ghost.” Horace cast a glance behind him, but below all remained silent. As they ceme up to the second floor, all was dark except for one jet that was burning at the end of the hall opposite to where the stairs came down from the upper floor. As they reached the head of the stairs end were starting down the hall, Horace stopped as if frozen to the spot. his eyes bulg- ing from their sockets and his breath coming Clifford the in gasps. looked way indicated and clutched at the wall. There, in front of them, slowly descending the stairs, was Brooks’ Hall Ghost, with its long, black hair, sunken eyes, and pallid fece. The white robe trailing after it on which the flickering candle cast a ghostly light. It dreadful. The boys stood as if paralyzed, then, with one im- pulse, turned and plunged down the stairs. It seemed an eternity before they were back into the drawing room. They locked the doo-s be- hind them and then dropped, white end ex- hausted, into their chairs. Neither spoke. The dying embers threw a ghostly light on the wall. Somewhere in the house a shutter bang- ed. Both boys started and gazed behind them, then exchanged glances. So they sat until the grey light of dawn began to steal through the windows end they hea-d the old butler unlock- ing the doors, and Hannah in the kitchen. Then silently they stole upstairs, whe-e everything remained unchanged. was he next morning the rest had long been seated at the table before the boys put in an appearance, and it was then with é hageard faces and heavy eyes. U. , HAVEN PORCUPINE The “Merry Christmes” they received was returned with less zest than it was offered. Bess said she wonde-ed if any of the ser- vants had seen the ghost. and saw, with great satisfaction, the boys exchange meaning glances. But she was not yet ready to take her re- venge. The boar’s head and all the goodies of a Christmas dinner hed lost their attraction for the boys. All during the day one or the other could be discovered dozing in some remote corner of the house. That evening Bess revealed the story of the ghost and the sleepless night of the boys, at which everyone shouted in high glee at Horace and Clifford until they retreated to their rooms. Next morning, as Bess waved a farewell, she shouted, “Remember Brooks’ Hall Ghost!” res BRISTLES Doings in Happy Geom II 1. C.S.—‘Where did you get the pies?” J. G— ‘Stole.’em!”’ 2.
