ing across the street from the home
of the newly-married pair and staring
fixedly at the windows at all hours of
the day. Her daily prcmenades also
were confined to that locality.
Whenever the husband and wife took
a stroll she Immediately espied them
from her watch tower, Put on her old
fashioned bonnet and became their
veritable shadow. logging their foot
steps wherever they went. The village
soon woke up to the strange state OF
affairs, and the ludicrous procession
was seen daily by choice selection OF
town gossips who stood on the street
corners and gazed at the mournful
trio.
The haunting spinster kept up an
unbroken silence but this was far
more expressive and tantalizing to the
pursued than any amount OF abuse
could have been. So this spinster-spook
of genuine flesh and blood soon had
the whole village in an uproar. The
happiness of the honeymoon was trans
formed in short order to misery.
Sunday, however. was her particular

as they take a seat she takes her POSI-

them.
No sooner does she take her seat
than she draws from the recesses of
her clothing a Photographic likeness
of the unhappy man who sits behind
her with his bride. Then the show be-
gins. Neither the spinster, the star

others in the congregation. pay any at
tention to the sermon. The little
comedy in the center pew is the sole
attraction. All eyes are turned in that
direction. and she plays to an appre-
ciative audience while the weary
couple in the next pew back writhe
and squirm in delicious agony.
She holds up the photograph so that
the bride can see IL, too. as we'll as the
groom. Lifting it to her lips every
now and then, she kisses 1t fervently

ton. while a tear rolls down the cheek

the tables on them all.
She wouldn't remove the unsightly
decoration. Day after day II remained
an eye-sore TO the residents OF the

Not until she had thoroughly shamed
whoever perpetrated the joke did Miss
Allyn finally consent to baye the house

But the unfortunate old couple are
still haunted by the persistent and not
uncomely spinster. and II is getting to
be an old story in the town now. al
