DID THE GHOST KILL HiMi
Daring Young OHlcer Who would Stay
IL Himself Slain,

The most distinguished ghost of all ap-
pears TO be the black lady of the castle Of
Dainstadt. In deep mourning she comes
10 announce the death Of some members
OF the families of the Grand Dukes of
Hcs>e or OF The Bayarian royal family.
lne apparltion OF this lady, says the
6alignani Messenger, has from time lmme-
mortal produced n sort of panic among the
troops Of the garrison. The boldest senti-
nels are afraid Of her. One day young
officer OF the grenaders solicited from the
Grand Duke Lewis !. the favor Of acting
rs sentinel at the door of the chapel
through which the mysterious visitor was
expected to pass. aft 10 is not genuine
ghost he said. 81 will cure tho practical
Joker OF his nonsense"
IL was agreed that tho officer should
order the phantom to halt and IL it did
not obey fra upon il. Tho Grand Duke
and a few courtiers posted themselves in
the vestry of the chapel, from which they
could see the path that, according to the
legend. tho black lady always followed.
A midnight approached the gayety Of
the royal group decreased. Tho clock
struck IL. Before the sound Of the last
stroSe had died away they heard in the
distance: Halt Who goes there F"
Then there was shot.
The Grand Duke and the people of his
suite came out of their hiding-place and
ran into the courtyard. The brave young
officer was stretched on the ground dead.
Beside him lay his gun. the barrel of which
was torn from the stock and twisted like q
corkscrew. There was no wound of any
sort on the body. Shortly afterward LOUIS
i. died suddenly in the ducal palace.
