post in the morning"
Barbara did as required, and saw the tan.
ner step lightly away to his task. 1t was
then twelve o'clock, and she sought her own
chamber.
Barney was sitting at bis vigil and so far
all had been well. The night seemed verv
long for be had no means of counting The
time. At timos thrill went through him.
for it seemed as if he could hear a low SUD,
pressed breathing not far away; persuaded
himself that it was the wind, blowing through
the crevces of the old house. Still it was
very lonely and not at all cheerful.
The face in the coffin cleaned white still.
The rats sq'eaked IS if there was famine
upon them and they smelIsd the dead Hssh.
The thought made him shudder. lie got
up and walked about but something made a
slight noise behind him, and be put his chair
with his bac. against the wall, and sat down
again. He had been at work all day. and
at last grew sleepy. Finally he nodded and
snored.
Suddenly it seemed as il somebody bad
touched him. He awoks with start, and
saw nobody near. though in the center Of
the room stood white figure.
Curse yeu, get out Of tbs!" he exclaimed
in alright using the first words that come
TO his tongue.
The figure held out its right arm and slow.
y approached him. lie started to his feet.
The spectre came nearer, pressing into tho
corner.
Tho mischief take you!' cried Barney In
his extremity.
lnvoluntarily he stepped back; still The fig
ure advanced, coming nearer and nearer %
II to take him ina gbosly embrace. The
har started up on Barney's head; be grew
desperate and just as the cleaning arm
would have touched him, be fell on the oh ost
like whirlwind, tearing the sheet, humping,
pounding, beating and kicking more and
more enrsged at the resistance be met, which
told him the truth.
As the readers know. he was big, and
Fritz Vas little; and while be was pummel.
ling the little fellow terribly, and Fritz was
trying to get lunge at Barney's stomach,
to take the wind out Of him, both kicking
and plunging like horses; they were pstrifisd
by hearing voice cry:
Take QUE Of your size Barney!'
Looking around they saw the corpse sit
ting up in bis coffin. This was too much.
They released each other and sprang for the
door. They never knew how they 90. out:
but they got home in hot haste, painting like
stays.
1t was Barbara herself who came and
opened the door next morning.
"lt's very early; one more little nap," said
he, zone more little nap,' turning over 10
his coffin.
So she married him, though she sent Fritz
and Barney invitations to the wedding they
did not appear. If they discovered tho. trick,
they kept the knowledge to themselves, and
never willingly faced Barbara's laug ghiug
eyes.
