BENEDICT ARNoLD's OLD HOUSE.
Ghost Which Was Not a Ghost-A Duel
and IA Tragedy.

and Tragedy.
Philadelphia Record.
DO you know there is a romantic story
connected with the house%' said Mr.. Green.
About fifty years ago one OF the daughters
of the Burd family was engaged to be mar
ried to a prominent Southern gentleman.
On the night before the day fixed for the
wedding a large company was gathered in
the parlor of the mansion, and the CONVEX
sation turned upon ghosts. When the hour
for retiring had arrived the ladies were pretty
we'll worked up with the stories they had
heard. The betrothed couple fingered few
moments in the parlor, and when the lady
expressed fear OF meeting with a ghost her
brother spoke up and said: Look out for the
ghost of Benedict Arnold tonight The
Southerner handing the lady pistol said:
Place this under your pillow and If any
ghost appears don't be afraid to shoot
The brother, who was a sort of dare
devil fellow. resolved TO have some fun. He
co ntrived to steal the weapon away from his
sister, and when everybody was asleep he
dressed himself in the uniform of an officer
of the continental army. Entering the
chamber of his sister, he made a noise which
awoke her, and when the terrified girl saw
what she believed to be the ghost of Arnold
she set up suchsa sereaming:that she awakened
the household. In few minutes the room
was filed with the other members of the
family. When the matter was explained by
the erring brother the future husband of his
sister became so:angry that he grossly insult
ly the young man and then and there chal-
lenged him to fight duel. The challenge
was accepted as quickly as it was offered.
The family, with one accord violently
protested against the threatened encounter,
but their fearful pleading amounted to
nothing The hot-headed principals could
not be dissuaded from their purpose to shed
blood In a few hours the preliminaries
were all arranged, and procuring carriages
from the family stables, the principals, with
their seconds and physician, set ont for the
spot where the encounter was to take place.
