CONEY ISLAND HAS A GHOST.

Residents of Coney Island are talking
about a ghost which has been prowlIng
around for the past few nights. Early
in the morning Officer Michael Tansey
saw the apparition and pursued f.. He
followed it 10 a clump of beach plum
bushes and there lost sight Of It. He
described the ghost as that Of a woman,
rather tan and slender, dressed in
white. He. feet were bare and her
black hair streamed far below her
waist. When Officer Tansey told the
story at Coney Island police head
quaters he was laughed at, but he In
sisted that he bad seen the same ghost
twice before. 1t always started from
Surf avenue, near the ice plant, and
glided into the bushes and disappeared.
The ghost wrung its hands continually,
but made no noise. The officer thought
it a woman who was waiting for some
one, until 1t would glide away at his
near approach. Or. John F~leischhauer,
manager Of the Coney Island pharmacy,
told a reporter that he had seen the
ghost three times. Lawyer Eldridge
has also seen 1t.

James Dwyer, a house-painter of
New York, was one of the workmen on
@ building MT = South street. Before
he climbed out upon the scafrold DIVER

marked that it was risky. The other
men laughed. Then he said:
The fact of the matter is, boys. that
] had an ugly dream about this scaffold
last night. ! dreamed that three men,
YOU two and !, were painting upon it..
and that just rs | reached I'm my pocket
for my pipe the whole thing gave

Then WHAT" asked Simon.
Il woke up
the other two laughed Mt him about
his dream and started to work. In a
moment he joined them, but let himself
ont of the window UPON the platform
very cautiously. AT $40 the dream
came true. The support broke loose.
and it, with the platform ana the
three men, shot down together. They
fell from the fifth story to the second;
they broke through the thick plate gllss
and tie galvanized iron supports of the
Skylight to the ground floor, and landed
on the floor beneath.

LADY TOMLINsoNs ART.
Clever Manner i'm Which It Was Ac-
quired.

When l first knew Gwendoline Gil
bert | very nearly fell in love with her.
Gwendoline Gilbert was Hygcia herself.
She was a parsons daughter; she
hadn't a penny in the world. Sir John
Tomlinson was the member for Rat
cliff Highway and had made pots Of
money by the adulteration of the poor
mans beer. He came, he saw, he con
quercd; Of course he did, They were
married, they started On their honey
moon; and | went to IIcrnc Bay for
a fortnight in "A huff.
In spite of her beauty and her hus-
bands millions Gwendoline was not
altogether a social success.
Look here, Lady Tomlinson," said
Sir John Che always called her Lady
Tomlinson), you don't shine in society;
you're not a dancing woman, or a
talking woman, nor a political woman,
and you amt littery. / wish to heaven
you'd develop some sort of individuality
Of your own, Lady Tomlinson."
Lady Tomlinson retired instantly to
her boudoir and had a good cry. For
three whole days did Lady Tomlinson
brood and mediate, and then she sent
for n Pargiter, the painter.
Mr.. Pargiter FASTENED to present him
self at Palatial Crescent.
Mr.. Pargiter,'' said Lady Tomlinson,
Il want TO paint-I want to paint in
oils"
oh, certainly, Lady Tomlinson, said
Mr.. Pargiter, and he smiled and rolled
his eyes and rubbed his hands and
bowed. Mr.. Pargiter was too much Of
a gentleman ever to contradict a lady,
besides being a popular art teacher
with a highly ]aristocratic connection.
Therefore he would have said "Oh,
certainly" if Lady Tomllnson had
wanted to learn TO dance on the slack
wire.
II want you to give me lessons. Mr..
Pagiter,'' said Lady Tomlinson. 81
mean to exhibit at the Royal Academy"
said Lady Tomlinson. II mean to be a
distinguished amateur and / want you
to show me how and give me lessons,
Mr.. Pargiter.
oh, certainly" said Mr.. Pargiter.
Pray name your terms" said
Lady Tomliuson. Expense is no OBJ
ject, but / want. the whole thing to be
secret from my husband and my
friends
Next day. at 10 precisely, n four
wheeled cab containing Mr.. Pargiter, a
large easel, eyeral canyases, numerous
brown-paper parcels and a lay figure,
drew up at the T~omlinson's house in
Palatial Crescent. Mr.. Pargiter was
shown at orce into her ladyship's bou-
doir.
Vow, Mr.. Pargiter,' said Lady Tom
linson when she had welcomed the
artist. Il should like you to paint me
an ideal head
Mr.. Pargiter stared at Lady Tomlin-
son and suggested that the usual way
was to begin by drawing from what

ne called the round IN charcoal.
Mr.. Pargiter,' said Lady Tomlin-
son, you wouldn't refuse to oblige a
lazy. I'm sure l shall learn much more
easily by seeing you work. My idea
you know, was that you should paint
and / should look ou-just at first, you
know, till | get my hand in"
So Mr. PargIter began to paint the
head Of "a rustic. Mr.. Pargiter was &C
customed to dispose of heads of this
description TO Wiggles, the framemak
er and picture-dealer.
81 want you to leave the background
till the very last" said Lady Tomllnson.
"Oh, certainly replied the artist.
1t took Mr.. PargiteT four 'sittings'
to finish that rustic head. When it was
quite done he remarked to Lady Tom
linson that there was nothing more
to do than to smudge i'm a background
of burnt sienna.
That's where / come in said Lady
Tomlinson. IF you'll do the edge OF
the background in all the little in-and-
out places round the edge, I'll finish it,"
They carried ont that simple pro
gram.
"Now there's nothing left but to
sign It, | suppose?" snid her ladyship.
Exactly So" said Mr.. Pargiter; and
he took Il little squeeze of ivory black
on the point Of a small brush and was
about to atiiX the magic name of Par
eiter.
Let me try" said her ladyship, She
took the brush from Mr.. Pargitcr's hand,
and in great ~sprawling letters she wrote
in the righthand corner Of the picture:
Gwen. Tomlinson"
Madam said Mr.. pargiter, with a
low bow, when she mad finished,
you're a genius.
And then she placed an envelope in
the artists hand. Il can trust you,
Mr.. Pargiterf' she said, in those soft,
purring tones of hers.
Mr.. Targiter laid his hand upon his
heart, gave Lady Tomlinson what look
ed very much like a wink and assured
her, in solemn accents. that she could.
Two days afterward Lady Tomliuson
was Eat home ] was there; ] an an
art critic by profession, you know. On
a green plush stood the rustic head in
an eight-inch gilt frame.
What do you think Of II, Mr..
Soorcherg' bleated that innocent
lamb, Lady Tomlnson, to me: I've
just got it home from my framemakers
and it's the first of my efforts that I've
had the hardihood to show TO my
friends
/ compared 1t TO Greuza. l said it
reminded me of Nine. Nigce lie Brun
and various other artists. Next spring
they hung It at burlington House;
they hung that parsiter and we all
went into e~cstasies at the private view,

his wife. She is an artistic light
now. She has only got 10 take a

Don't Blame the Cook

If baking powder is not uniform in strength,
so that the same quantity will always do the same
work, no one can know how to use it. and uni
formly good, light food cannot be produced with it
All baking powders except Royal because
improperly compounded and made from inferior
materials, lose their strength quickly when the can
is opened for use. At subsequent bakings there
will be noticed a falling off in strength, The food
is heavy, and the flour eggs and butter wasted.
1t is always the case that the consumer suffers
in pocket, if not in health, by accepting any sub
%stitutc for the Royal Baking Powder. The Royal
is the embodiment of all the excellence that it is
possible to attain in an absolutely pure powder.
1t is always strictly reliable, 1t is not only more
economical because of its Greater strength, but
will retain its full leavening power, which no
other powder will until usal and make more
wholesome food.
