by the person of Senorita Ermina Arota.
She was most deliberately dressed, and as
she came in and gave me her hand said.
with touch of sadness, "Ah, Senior Don

Pardon me, senorita," he said. "but |

She glared upon him moment like ii.

eyes still full of tears said, with sob,
"Adios, Senior Michel; do not forget your

at my back, with a pricking sensation in
my side, and faint "Carrambow from the
outside brought me to my feet with

the matter | pointed to the chessboard
hanging to the side Of the tent.
Upon examination we found stiletto
driven through the chessboard, the sharp
point of which had pricked my side, while
the handle remained on the outside of the
tent
When the stiletto had been drawn out of
the canvas and board, it proved to be
long, slender Spanish made weapon with
grooved ebony handle, mounted with silver,
and on the top "A silver crown surmounted
by a cross. On each side Of the cross was
the letter f curiously engraved.

the weapon he measured the width Of
scar in the palm of his hand. 1T fits this
well, too, adding, that lady has an UNI
pleasant way of stabbing her lovers when
they win her money, and this scar came, no
doubt, from that stiletto."
He then told me that during his Irritation
with the senorita one night he received
stab. The senorita uttered faint scream

THE queerest of all ghost stories that
ever listened to was told to me from the
top of an apple barrel up in Kennebunk
Port, Me, said p Hemingway TO report
er. An old salt, who possessed rather
glowing imagination, sat one evening in
one of the general country stores and re-
lated the tale OF the Ghost of the Rushing
Wind IL was Of an old Indian hamlet and
log cabin with a great brick fireplace IL
was the only spot revisited by the spirit of
some departed under the guise of sobbing,
moaning wind. The wind forever grieyed
alone in this great fireplace, when outside
the night might be still and calm and with
the stars as clear and serene AS ever they
were to watching eyes at midnight. Night
ly at IL, whether in an awful storm or per-
feet calm, whether cold or cool or warm,
the wind came, rushing, whining, whirling
always up the great chimney mouth, but
forever confined until the shadows began to
fade and morning was herslded by the earli-
est twitter OF the birds.
st was related that a trapper OF ascetic
nature had occupied the hut, and that one
night, when probably discouraged by the
loneliness of his existence, saddened by the
reflection over joys long since dead, he had
taken his life with the same trusty weapon
that had been his only solace during years
of hermit life A dreadful storm held sway
at the time, and ever AS the hour OF his
death required the ghost of the rushing
wind returned to moan alone in the great
fireplace munh as it must have done at that
fearful hour. st. Louis Globe-Democrat
