".

In the evening papers of that day the
marvellous story was told, needing no
coloring of imagination to make it more
sensational. They told how Mrs. Whit
nell had been awakened from a eata-
leptic trance by the pressure of knife
upon her finger; how she had sat up
with every sense awakened to feel the
cold, damp walls of the grave about
her; how, with those awful screams
ringing in her ears, she awoke to o
realization of the truth, filing her with
terror scarcely less great than the SEX
toms; and how, with returning reason.
she had climbed out of her grave and
made her way through the storm to
her own home. Graphically they de-
scribed the appearance of the grave,
which hundreds visited-the heap of
earth, with the spade and lantern w.
ing upon it, and the casket lid and cover
of the box. They pictured the joy of
the reunited family, but in it all there
was no definite mention of the shat
tered, half-craZed sexton, whose mind
would never recover from the terrors
of that nights work. Powerful infu-
ences from grateful, reunited family
had been at work, and the papers con-
tanned only the statement that, while
the would-be grave robber was known.
the happy ending of his ghoulish at
tempt had not only saved him from
prosecution, but had brought him sub
stantial reward.

ingly down at the box beneath his feet.
She doesn't need them any more, and
it was wicked to bury them with her"
Controlling himself with great eff
fort, he completed his grewsome work.
Standing close against one side of the
grave, he lifted the cover of the box
from beneath his feet and threw it out
upon the pile of earth. Then, kneeling
upon the lower part of the casket, he
quickly removed the screws from the
upper lid and threw it, too, outside of
the grave. The sexton had reached the
climax of his task. Before him in the
dim light of his lantern lay the uncov-
cred face of the dead woman, white and
cold in the repose of death. In the mo-
ment of the greatest tension the sexton
grew a little calmer. He lifted the
dainty hand and sought to pull the pre-
cious jewel from the finger. 1t would
not yield to his effort, and he lifted the
woman's head and removed costly
locket and a string of pearls. Then he
returned to the sparkling ring upon her
finger.
1t would not yield. He tried again
and again, and as he worked all the
wild fancies of the night rushed over
him again until he was on the point OF

jewel. Then with sudden resolution ne

the keen blade upon her finger, and

III.

Twelve o'clock found Mr.. Whitnell
pacing restlessly up and down the par
lor of his lonely mansion. He could not
sleep, and his own room contained so
many reminders of his departed wife
that he could better endure the parlor,
where he had last seen her radiant with
health and happiness.
The stroke of one echoed drearily
through the house, and still the grief
stricken man paced up and down. For
another hour he wrestled with the men,
cries of his welded life, and then eX-
hausted nature warned him that he
must seek repose. He turned sorrow
fully to leave the room, when, quick,
the storm, he heard the summons of the
doorbell.
Mr.. Whitnell was not man to be OPP
pressed by superstitious fears. He de-
spised such weakness in others, yet now
a nameless dread swept over him. He
went to the window and peered into
the night. Despite his self-command,
he almost cried out aloud, for in the fam
tastic glare of the electric light he be-
held ghostly ,white-robed figure stand
ing at his door. For a moment the
firmly-grounded beliefs of lifetime
were swept away, and Mr.. Whitnell was
thrilled with the superstitious fancies
he despised. Then shrek echoing
| through the house recalled him to his
senses. A servant had opened the door
and seen the ghostlike figure and then
fed, crying that the spirit of his mis-
tress was standing at the door. Mr..
Whitnell's quick brain grasping at a
suggestion of the truth, he ran down
and caught in his arms the cold, wet,
trembling, yet living, form of his res
directed wife.

is a story based upon facts, which were
widely exploited by the newspa pers at the
time. For obvious reasons fictitious names
of the parties to the grewsome adventure
are used, and the name of the city near
which it occurred is purposely omitted.
Newspaper readers with retentive men,

the parties to what may aptly be termed
providential crime, and the locality in
which 1t occurred. The lady who owed so
much to the dissertation of her grave lived
for eight years afterward and became the
mother of two healthy children, but the

house and they contained all the es-
sentials for comfortable living, even

Ii,

1t was a night well suited to the
work of ghouls. The wind came in
great waves, shrieking at the height
of its fury like soul in torment, then
dying away in a signing breeze. Great
billowy clouds were swept across the
sky, while driving mist would break
at intervals into sudden dash of rain
as a great storm cloud was swept
along. In the grewsome churchyard,
where marble shafts cleaned weirdly
through the rain and darkness, the
light of lantern played Enthusiastically
about a new-made grave. Bending over
the soggy clay was the figure of man.
With desperate energy he piled the
heaps of rain-soaked earth his eyes
shot fearful chances into the weird and
ominous night. To his guilty senses
the bowling of the wind seemed like
the voices of offended spirits of the
dead, and from out the rain and dark
ness he could see in fancy the accusing
menace of ghostly hands. Great drops
of perspiration fell from his face and
mingled with the rain trickling in rivu-
let's down his rubber coat.

from the wind, and the earth became
less rain-soaked and heavy. Another
hour and his spade scraped upon thu

He carefully scraped away the remain

as he prepared to remove the cover
