GHOST OR soMNAMBuLISTp

Joseph Levalley is night Waterman
on the ditch which the city is digging
on South Main street. Joe Is no
coward but his duties require that he
carry revolver. So armed with thiS
instrument Of destruction he is ready
at any moment during the weary
watches of the night to meet any ana
all corners should they come in human
guise. but when it gets down to ghosts
Joe frankly acknowledges that he
isn't in it. lie thinks it is all rlght
for the testing braggart to tell what
he would do if he Sd IL ghost. but ne
feels certain that if they should see
some Of the hair-lifting sights that
have come his way recently, they
would Immediately change their tune.
The particular story which Joe has
been entertaining large circle or
friends with for the past two days IS
undoubtedly true, as he is not a drink
ing man. 1t is as follows: AT half
past two Monday morning he was
leaning YEARLY up against the electric
light pole At the City Hall corner
when there arose before his gaze the
silent figure of a woman clad in
white standing motionless and ghost
like 100 yards away and on the side
walk in front of the Congregational
church.
His feelings at sight Of the appari-
| tion can better be imagined than en-
pressed. His knees shook, his hair
rose from his head aud his eyes stuck
out so that he might have hung his
hat from either one. Then he be-
thought himself of bis courage, his
duty to the city and to himself and of
the loaded gun he had in his hip peck
ct.
As these thoughts came over him
bis nerve revived, bis eyes went back
in their sockets, lis hair came down
and his legs answered the call Of hon
or. lie advanced slowly and cautious
| ly toward the subject Of bis thoughts,
but the latter did not move. lie
came within a rod Of her and still she
did not stir. Then bespoke, "Madam,
what are you doing on the street at
this time of night" No answer.
Then he noted she was tall hand
some woman, with light hair full
| face. of graceful build and clad in a
white night robe and a pair OF
shoes.
He spoke again this time more
sharply and suddenly the figure awak'
ened from its trance let out the most
unearthly yell that Joe had ever heard
before. She turned and ran Ike d
deer up the road, across and uE
Church street screaming at the top OF
her voice and Joe following as fast as
his SO odd years would permit.
She was soon out of sight and The
lonely Waterman left to bis own re.
llections. The cause of his fright was
probably some lady afflicted Will
somnabnlism or sleep walking. JOG
will recognize her when he sees bel
again but he is too much Of a gentle
man ever to reveal her identity tt
any one SO the lady may have no fears
of publicity.
