 Wal, aCinthya she said she, kind O., fell so along, and she, had a sort O queer feel in. come over her as if there was somebody or somethinl ronnd the house more n ap peared. She said she sort Q felt it in the air, but it seemed to her silly. and she tried to get over it. But two or three times she said, when it got to be dusk, she felt
 somebody go by her ap the stairs. The front entry wa'n'te very lightein the day it was so dark that all yon could see was jist gleamp O something, aud two ol three times when she started togo up stairs goiG' up before her, and she stopped witt

 I4sWal, Cinthy, she was kind O shamed, but for all that she could mt help herself Sometimes evenings she'd be settin' with the Cap'n, and she'd think she'd hear somebody movin' in his room overhead and she knowedi it want Quassia, cause Quassia was ironin' in the kitchen. She took pains once or twice to find out that are. .s,
 Wal, ye see, the ,Cap'n's room was the gret front upper chamber over the parlor, and then right opposite to it was the gret spare chamber where Cinthy slept It was iist as grand as could be, with great four post mahogany bcdsted and damask cur. tains brought over from England; but it was cold enough to freeze white bear sol id-the way spare chambers alters is. Then there was the entry straight through the house; one side was old Quassia's room, and the other was sort of store-room, where the Cap'n kept all sorts D traps. ;.
 Well, Cinthy she kep a sheven' things happen and seein' things. till she didn't { rallly know what was in it Oncs when she come into the parlor iist at sundown, she was sure she see white figure Q van ishing out c the door that went toward the side entry. She said it was so dusk that all sheicould see was jist this white figure. and it jist went out still as 3 cat as she come in.
 Wal. Cinthy did n t like to speak to the Cap h aboutit. She was close wonlan, putty prudent, Cinthy was. < stuTsi s'fa.

 j''Cinthy said -she'd been up putty late |, sewin' and 2 inishin' off down in the.par Tor, and the Cap'n he sot up with her and was consid ably cheerful and entertainin, tsIlin' her all about things over in the Der mndys, and off to Chiny and Japan, and round the world .ginerally. The storm that had been blowin' all the week was about us furious as ever, and the Cap'n he stir. rec up a mess of flip and Sheitit hot for her to go to bed on. He was a good-na- tured crlttur, and allers had feeiin's for lone women, and s'pose he knew twas sort O desolate for Cinthy aos .ia89lqa Wal, takin's the flip 80 right the last thing afore goin' to bed, sue went right off to sleep as sound as nut and slep' on till somewhere about mornin,' when she said somethin' walked her broad awake in a min ute. Her eyes Hew wide open like a spring, and the storm had gone down and the moon come out, and there, standln right in the moonlight by her bed, was a woman jist as white as a sheet, with black hair hangin down to her waist, and the brightest, mournfullest black eyes you ev- CT see. She stood there lookin' right at Cinthy, and Cinthy thinks that was what walked her up; cause,. you know. eff any. OOOJ 0e0AA0 0nu AOOhS SS6AOy AG 1OlkH asleep it's apt to wake 'em.
 Any way, Cinthy said she felt list as et she was turnin,. to stone. She could n't move nor speak. She lay a minute. and then she shut her eyes and begun to say her prayers; and minute after she open ed lem and it was gone. @I,--@.-, Cinthy was sensible gal, and one that alters had'her thoughts, about her, and she jist got up and put Q shawl about her shoulders and went first and looked at the doors, and they were both on 'en locked jist as she left 'em when she went to bed. Then she looked under the bed and in the bed and in the eloset and felt all round the room; where she could n't see she felt her way, and there want nothin' thers. :, Wal, next mornin' Cinthy' got up and went home, and she kep' it to herself s l good whilee Finally one day while she was workin. to our house. she told ,Hepss about it, and Hepsy she told me- .t' - Welt.
