THREE ENGLISH GHOSTS.
Tho Lady in Cream" and n Man witt
Heard.

Tho LADY in Cream" and Man with
Heard.
There is hardly castle or ancient
manor house in all England that has
not some ghostly tradition connected
with it, says the New York World. In
some manSions the spectres are said to
stalk and gibber and shrek night after
night while in others they appear only
at long intervals. The latter seems to
be the case at Clandon house, near
Guildford, which belongs to the earl of
Onslow, but which is at present let by
him to tenant. Here the ghosts, for
there are three Of them, have but re-
Gently made their appearance, and,
though they seem quite familiar with
the centuries-old structure which they
inhabit, no one of this generation has
been able to recall anything about
them. The first Is that Of beautiful
lady, richly attired in cream-colored
silk robe and wearing profusion OF
great jewels. Sometimes she covers the
oream-c olored silk with black cloak,
and occasionally she carries a dagger
or o. tumbler in her hand. All the do
mestics say they have seen her many
times, and the under footman stoutly
maintains that he once saw "the lady
in cream" take a book from the library
shelves, and, after glancing through its
pages, carefully replace it. The second
spectre is more terrifying, for 1t APP
pears in the form Of very ugly female
black dwarf, with glittering ring in
her nose, and whose dress indicates
a condition of servitude. She always
bears in her hand lighted lantern. A
rough-looklng man makes up this
phantom trio, and he has great beard
that Is evidently the pride and joy of
his ghostly existence. He Is not so often
seen as the lady in cream and her hide
Gus companion, and has the bearing OF
one oppressed by q great sorrow. A lady
spiritualist has had the hardihood to-
visit the house and converse with the
cream-colored apparition who, it is re-
ported related to her as sad a story as
ghost ever told. In her time she had
sinned, she said and her husband found
her out. He accordingly bribed the
black dwarf, his wife's attendant, to
kill her mistress which she did, and
she has ever since been going about
with a lighted lantern looking for for
giveness. The appearance Of these
ghosts has caused great excitement in
the quiet country neighborhood, and
many people besides the domestics
claim to have seen all three.

All the Same.

Have you any flounces?" asked
Tony Pippin, with an distracted air,
as he inserted his legs under table
in one of those quick dispatch restau-
rants in Park Row.
The fuffy-haired waitress glanced
down at her plain black skirts, blushed
laborlously, and said:
What was that you wanted?
"Flounces."
How'll you have 'em-baked, boiled,
shirred or bias?" the girl responded,
facetiously. She thought Mr.. Pippin
was given to repartee.
II want them fried with bacon
Tony responded, with some severity.
"Will you take my order?"
Eyes, If you call for anything on the
bill. This amt no Chinese laundry"

ned the oyster list for a moment, and

well, accident or not 1t came in at
the right time, and 1t is no wonder Tip
po envIes you your victory. But beware
Of him as you would of a puma"
The youthful speakers, neither being
over IS, were cantering leisurely across
that remarkable pampa region lying be-
tween the Parana and Paraguay rivers,
the Gran Chaco. They were on the ex-
IRENE southern border belonging to the
vast estate of Manuel Strain, who lay
claim to the ownership Of more than a
thousand horses, forty thousand head
of cattle and nearly hundred thousand
sheep, feeding at will on his domain
of pampas.
ArlO Strain was this wealthy estan-
cleros only son, and his companion,
Leon Lyons, was an American boy,
whom Arlo had met and formed a
strong attachment for while he was In
this country getting his education. The
grandfather Of Arlo had gone from the
United States to settle in the country
north Of Buenos Ayres.
Leon had been glad to accept an In
vitation to visit his South American
friend, and never had he enjoyed him
self better than on his wild rides over
the pampas. How he slept at night!
And he often declared that he had
never known what 1t as to have an
appetite beforel
1t was then the season for rounding
up" the cattle. At first he had to con-
tent himself with seeing the gauchos, or
herdsmen, as they rode down and las
seed the animals, but finally he had
Ventured to join his companion in the
exhilarating work.
1t was wonderful how these sons Of
the pampas performed their feats Of
lance and lasso, but when Arlo ex-
planned that they had been trained to
1t from infancy; that long lines were
given them to practice throwing, and
that by the time they were years old
they were put on the back Of spirited
horse, with a genuine lasso to use, he
did not marvel so much at their skill.
Arlo had acquired good deal Of that
skill and Leon was fain to believe that
few Of the gauchos could Guido him,
but when he said as much the other
laughed, saying:
"Wait till you see what Tippo can
do He can throw lance farther and
a lasso surer than anyone on the es-
tancias."
The gaucho Guieslppo, whose name

with his lance poised to be hurled at
his head the moment he should get near
enough to be sure of his aim. A dense
Clump Of mlmosa concealed the APP
preaching bull from the sight of the
gaucho.
Il Arlo failed to gitS his warning cry
to his friend, he did not remain mac
tive, but urged his horse ahead at the
top OF it's speed, and 80 evenly were
these onsets made that 1t seemed GER
tain that triple meeting would take
place at the converglng point.
But Arlo realized that this must
prove fatal to his friend II not to him
self, end he suddenly raised his lasso,
and with that quick, dexterous move
ment peculiar to the master of this
plant weapon, he sent the long line
whirring through the air, the moose at
its end settling over Icons shoulders,
just as loud below from the bull an
nounced that It had seen him. At the
same moment Tippo threw his lance.
Arlo turned his horse sharply to the
right, and as the taut lasso jerked Leon
forward upon the ground, Typos lance
whizzed harmlessly over him.
And then, before the would-be muir
derer was aware of his peril, the mad
dened bull was upon him, goring and
trampling him to death.
Having wreaked his vengeance upon
the enemy that he had found in his
path, the brute dashed on across the
leaving the two boys unhurt
You may be sure that they we're thank
full for their deliverance, in spite of
Tippos awful fate.

The question. whether farmers

must depend on Circumstances. They
never shouldlgrow seeds for use that,
will be less pure and true to names
than those which they can purchase.
Nor should they grow seed, from the

deteriorates seeds>so much as~this prac-
