One True Ghost Story.

This is a true ghost story of an UNI
conventional kind. A young lady ar
rived late at night on a visit to a
friend. She awoke in the darkness to
find a white figure at the foot of the
bed While she watched, the bed
clothes were suddenly whisked off and
the apparition vanished. After an
anxious, not. to say chilly, night. the
visitor went down with little appetite
for breakfast. At the table she was
introduced to a gentleman, very Old
friend Of the family, who had. she
learned, also been sleeping in the
house. He complained of the cold.
II hope you will excuse me-" he said
to his hostess but I found it so colo
during the night that, knowing the
room next mine was unOccupied l
took the liberty of going in and carry
ing off the bedclothes to supplement
my own"
The room, as it happened. was not
unoccupied, but he never learned his
mistake.-Tit Bits.
