A NIGHT WITH A GHOST
BY B. E. ST. CHARLES ~ssos q s ~
Have you ever seen ghost-one of
the real class? If not you have missed
BY B. e. ST. CHARLES

Have you ever seen a ghost-one of
something.
There are several distinct brands of
ghosts land to see some of them is
easy, but to scare up one of the real
boys is feat which very few persons
ever accomplish.
The great trouble is, man pursuing
the everyday avocations in life does
not exactly know when he is up against
the real thing and thus let's slip an OPP
portunity to at least say "hello."
l once had an experience along the
ghost line and if the society for psyschi-
cal research only had the details it might
evolve some material for comparison
and discussion at it's meetings. / saw
something which for want of a better
name 1 will call ghost" saw it twice,
and the circumstances are as fresh in
my mind today as they We're at the
time, although several years have passed
since then.
Not an Optical Illusion.
1t was not one of those optical H.
lusions'' of which the funny man
sometimes speaks; it was the figure of
a man that moved as quietly as death,
neither ruffling nor disturbing anything
in it's movements save the curiosity of
its audience of one.
1t was at Cheney, Wash, about 16
miles west of Spokane, that l saw the
figure. MY place Of employment was
near the center of the town, but my
lodging quarters were the residence of
a family in the suburbs.
The family consisted of a widow and
her four children. boy and three girls.
HfoI
floor and contained a bed, stove, table
and such other traps as are usually
necessary in room used for lodging
purposes.
A window opened at the east and
door swung inward from a small hall
way at the opposite side of the room.
The bed stood in the southeast corner,
the outer edge being not more than a
foot from the window.
1t was late in the fall and. as the days
were short, it was my custom to retire
about o'clock.
One evening I went to bed at about
the usual hour and was soon fast
asleep.
Sometime during the night, however,
I awoke. The moon was shining bright
ny on the window side and although the
shade was drawn nearly over the win
dow sufficient light came through it
to enable me to see ordinary objects
at the opposite side of the ROOM I
could see the stovepipe and my shoes,
which I had placed against the door
to prevent it from flying completely
back, as I had left it ajar about six
inches for ventilation.
When / opened my eyes I saw a man
standing near the stove. His face was
turned towards the window. Of course
was curious to know. what he was

trousers bagged like loose-fitting over
aL2 the lower part of them was
tucked into the tops of boots that came
up to his knees. I noticed the boots in
particular while he was climbing over
the foot of the bed and thought he
might have decency enough to take them
off before getting into the bed.
AS near as I could judge, he did not
notice me-he gave me the royal snub.
He made no noise-he moved as quietly
as e.. shadow. AS he faded from view
I said to myself: Somebody has died
in this room; tomorrow I shall find

81 Another Strange Feature.
How 1 came to think that what I had
seen was the result of some one hav-
ing died in the room 1 do not know, but
that was my lightning-like deduction
and it proved to be correct.
About 10 o'clock that morning I step
ped into place where the oldest daugh-
ter .Qf the landlady was employed and
without any preliminares promptly
asked her if any one had ever died in
the ,foom I was occupying at her house.
The, question was SO sudden that it
staggered her for a second or two.
Yes, why?" she stammered, after
partly recovering from the shock.
Nothing" replied. II simply had a
curiosity to know"
'But you have some other reason ?"
she continued, her face turning pale,
land l would like to know what 1t
is?"
She insisted on knowing and I told
her what 1 had seen, but took particu-
lar care to accompany the story with
a smile of insincerity.
She said no more and I left her, as I
realized that although she did not know
whether to believe me she was about
out OF commission so far as her daily
routine work was concerned.
When she went home at noon she told
her mother about it and shortly before
o'clock that evening the mother paid
me a visit. I was sitting in my room
reading when she called

night? she said, in an excited man.

cycling me closely.
I answered her in the negative.
did any one ever tell you before Won
saw"'the figure that some one had died
in this room?" N
! again replied no, for had not only
not heard of any such death, but had
not Known or heard that the room had
ever been occupied by lodger before
my advent there.
She asked me many questions along
this line and then requested me to de-
scribe the figure I had seen. en-
l1ghtaened her on that point, placing his
royal .highness before her just as he
had placed himself before me.
She did not say whether the descrip
ton dovetailed with that of the man
who had died in the room, but she
seemed very uneasy over something
After listening attentively to my part
of the story she related the circum-
stances, Of the death and some things
in conihection with. the man which she
said she had not learned while he was

which he was in direct line. "Here
he is again. thought. II know 1 am
awake this time"
While 1 was taking an inventory of
him he started to walk towards the
bed. On reaching it he placed his
hands on the footboard, raised one
knee and then the other to the top of
the board, dropped DOWN on the bed
between myself and the wall, crawled
on his hands and knees until his head
reached the pillow beside my own, then
laid down within a foot of me and dis

wondered what it was I had seen
or whether 1 had really seen anything.
I sat up in bed and looked at the
door. 1t was just as I had left it
several hours before.
I devoted the next two hours to think
ing over what 1 considered strange

the matter over in my mind the deeper
became my conviction that it was all

when I imagined I saw the figure. Then
I dropped off to sleep and was dead

During the following day I did some
more thinking. It was really a subject
for thought. I did not mention the
matter to any one. To have done so
might have given some one an OPP
portunity to ask me what kind Of
