evening several nice fellows would be
present for talk and n smoke. Mr..
Walker possessed a good library, bill
lard table, and good cigars. What
more could n man want? Anyhow. Bob
expressed himself as delighted.
AS the conveyance drove up 20 the
house the young man felt that, after all.
life was worth living. Mr.. Walker gave
him a hearty greeting. while Herbert,
who took him TO his room, seemed in
high spirits.
The three days prior 20 Christmas
day passed quickly away, and Bob de-
clared that he enjoyed himself
thoroughly.
There is something sensible about
e." he remarked. "Therc are no gig
Cling girls about, no spooning going
on between them and silly fellows; in
fact. it's Joy unspcakable to know
that the house in free from petticoats."
"Well. I think 10 nwfully slew," re-
piled Herbert. at shall be FOLLY Slnd
when thursday comes. Eunice is com.
ing then with some of her friends. She
will make the house like new place"
"what tino Goes she arrive?" asked
Bob.
"Oh. not till about three o'clock on
Thursday afternoon"
81 shall be in London by that time"
"Come, old man, don't be a fool; stay
the week out and enjoy yourself" -.
The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1896-12-02

"No, thank you," replied Bob. ''I'vs
had enough of women; and besides,
there's the haunted room, you know"
"Why, have you heard or seen any
tbing?"
Certainly not. OF course the whole
story is a pure fabrication, and only due
20 the imagination of frightened and
superstitious people"
On Christmas day, Bob spent his time
in what he called sensible way. In
the morning he read Bousseau's Con
fessions," and then, after enjoying the
Christmas goose, he had sleep; this
over, he went for walk with Herbert,
ard then came back to Beechwood with
good appetite for tea. A very quiet
evening was spent, and ut half past ten
Bob went TO his room.
1t was a comfortable room, rather
low-ceiled, but roomy. The fireplace
was large, and in the crate bright
fire burned cheerfully; over the man
telpiece was a large mirror, which, as
Iiob remarked, was not common in
bedroom. A huge armchair was placed
in front of the fire, the kind which
goes by the name of ga saddlebag;" and
close by the chair a table was placed,
ON which was dozen or more books.
Bob sat down and looked contentedly
into the fire. He turned 10 the table by
his side, turned up the lamp, and picked
up book.
1--WE had pleasant time. There's
been no noise no bother, no women; in
deed, nothing unpleasant / should
have liked to have stayed till Saturday.
Bother those girls who are coming to-
morrow" And yet, if the truth must
be told, Bob almost wished that he'd
consented TO tolerate the girls, so as TO
have had three days more of comfort.
"But there, it's no use" he went on;
at can't he helped. Besides, when |
get back, I'll have another try at story
"a real good, moving story such as
makes old people feel young. Ay, Il
wish could! Why in the world can't |
write? I'm afraid it's no use trying. Il
believe I'll go back home and ask old
Rimmer TO take me on again. It's better
than grubbing at reporting for the pa7
pers. Oh dear! Well, I'll have a read. y
How long Bob read l cannot say, in
deed | do not think he knew himself.
1t might have been an hour or more,
hut presently he started up uneasily;
There seemed to be strange influence
in the room, an influence such as he
had never felt before. To his surprise,
too, the fire had got low, so he cons
cluded that he must have been sitting
for good while. Then he heard low,

got il very cheaply because it is report
e,l to be haunted"
"Nonsense."
"Fact, assure you. The story goes
that two or three generations ago the
only daughter of the then owner was
killed there"
KILLED? How?"
"Well, il was in this way: A yeoman
who lived close by wanted her very bad
ly; indeed, il is said he was crazy about
her, and she refused to have anything
TO say to him. Then one Christmas
day, when. for the hundredth time he
was pleading his cause, she told him
that she had promised to marry another
man. 1t is reported that he went away
with a terrible look on his face, and
that he was scarcely able to walk out of
the house. Anyhow, that night the
household was aroused by terrible
screams, and on entering the room
they found her in a pool of blood, and
her heart had ceased TO beat. They
searched for the murderer in vain, but
the next morning the man who had
wanted her was found dead in his own
bed, and on the table by his side was
confession that he had done the deed.
Since that the house has been believed
to be haunted. Several families have
tried TO live there, but in vain. Ter
,rible cries and groans have been heard
in the room where the girl was killed,
while at Christmas-time it is said TO
be worse"
"And have you heard any noises?'
"The truth is, / have been very little
at home. Besides, my father has had
the house only two years, and last
Christmas was visiting at my aunt's.
I've never heard my father say that he's
been troubled"
"Of course it's a lot Of humbug!" cried
Rob. ."Ghosts, indeed! For my own
part, should like to see one"
ut may be all nonsense" replied Her
bert, land yet / must confess that
when went into the haunted room L
had funny sort of feeling. Ishouldn't
Ike to sleep in it on Christmas night,
anyhow"
"Humbug!" replied Bob.
swell, il may be humbug," said Her
bert, but challenge you to sleep there,
anyhow" /
II accept" exclaimed Bob-'T nc
ccpt," and in saying this he felt that he
was not an ordinary kind of young man.
"Does the ghost appear?" he went on.
'or are there only sounds?"
"She appears, Isuppose.
"And not the man?"
No, she comes alone. She was
beautiful girl, and very good. Indeed.
i am told that everybody loved her be-
cause she was so good and pure"
81 should like to see her, then" was
Bob's reply; 1T would be phenomenal,
indeed, To see a good, pure woman. For
my own part, l doubt whether any such
exist"
This latter original remark had been
repeated very frequently at the Bache-
lors' club, although Bob had an idea,
that he was the first who ever used it,,
Christmas day happened on the
Wednesday in this particular year, and
on the Saturday previous Bob found his
way to Beechwood. He was promised
that no woman, beyond the servants,
should be seen; that he should have
plenty of shooting; and that in the
