Samson Brown neither knew or cared. He
tried to resume his study of the Economist
but even statistics had lost their power oil

preliminary words, he fell fast asleep in his

Sleep did not occasion any loss Of time
Dreams in haunted house are Of more than

Of the document and whether it was through
fate, or whether it was by accident, he spelt
Jones with (Joanes,) precisely after the
fashion OF Mrs. Stubs.
"Therer' cried Samson Brown, after
counting out the money, which he placed on
the table
There, you'll" gruffly replied Jones' as he
flung the signed receipt across the table to
Samson Brown.
Samson Brown retired and betook himself
to his troubled house. Jonathan Jones, hav.

tap, where he expended::a penny in the pur.
chase Of a halfrint Of beer. During the
whole day he was observed to repeat this
process at intervals much shorter than usual.
Atten minutes before midnight, Mr. Sam,

room whore he had first made acquaintance

on the proceeds Of customs and excise
The clock of the village church struck twelve
with a dreary solemnity that would have
awed every other occupant of that dismal
scantily-furnished room but Samson Brown
was pondsring over the probability of an
increase Of the income tax
However at the final stroke of twelve, a
sound in the room like the rustling of stuff
silk caused Samson Brown to suspect that
he was not alone. Raising his ewes from
the fascinating paper, he perceived a short
female figure, in an old.fashioned dress,
busting about the room, and apparently
unconscious of his presence, until, suddenly
turning round, it fixed npon him two CLASSY
eyes. Then, darting forward, it planted
two pointed elbows on the table, and rested
upon two skinny hands ono Of the most evil
faces that was ever beheld. Never were
