"Yes, sir" said the valet. This is an
old family and about TWO hundred
years ago there was a Lord Herbert
who was a gay, wild young nobleman,
and was a great admirer of the ladies,
sir However. by the time he was 80
he was married and settled down. and
began TO be much thought of and re-
spected. So was his lady, too. sir,
though she was not handsome and was
naughty.
"One thing. however, the English
servants did not like-she brought a
foreign maid with her from France-a
girl named Rosette and as pretty as a
picture.
"One day. sitting before her glass,
RoSette combing her hair for her. she
heard her husband come into the room.
Her back was toward him and Rosette
was behind her, and they forgot the
mirror. and So sir, she saw in it, with
out stirring, both their faces, and she
saw the girl smile at her husband and
she saw him smile back at her. She
understood everything, but she never
stirred, and she never said anything
to him, no, nor to the maid, sir.
This was her room, sir. In that little
closet Rosette had her bed, to be ready
If she called her. But one morning my
lady's bell rang furiously, and the maid
who answered it was told to do my
lady's hair, for Rosette had gone back
to her native country.
"All the time she was doing it the
girl thought she heard a faint moan
ing sound, and was frightened, and
went back to the rest pale and trem-
bling, and before night 1t was we'll
known in the house that that little
closet there was not only locked. but
nailed up.
After that my Lord seemed to take
to his wild ways again in measure
and drank a great deal. and my Lady
lived much alone. There never We're
any children but they both lived to be
old indeed, and at last my Lady died
in this room and was buried in the
church yonder.
MY Lord was as old as she by that
time, but as soon as the funeral was
over he went into my Lady's room and
stood long while before the locked
and nailed closet door.
Then he said TO himself: i cannot
die until know and ordered it TO be
opened. There were hundreds of nails
in it; but they were all out at last. and
the lock was forced. and my Lord arose
and tottered into the closet.
"It wasn't much they found. only
few bones and an ornament or two,
but it was plain that the girl had been
tied hand and foot and bound to the
bed and left there TO die-if she was
not murdered outright by the Jealous
lady.
But ever since, sir, whenever there
is going to be misfortune in the fam
ily. whoever sleeps here in this room
sees Rosette come out of her closet and
smile in the glass. No one ever sees her
face. only its reflection. | hope no trou-
ble will follow now, sir"
As for the American, he slept else
where the next night. He had no ad-
miration for ghosts, even the family
Ghosts of noblemen. and he had no de-
sire TO see Rosette smile at him in the
glass again.-New York Daily News.

\ telephone receiver will respond to
these secondary vibrations. The re-
ceivirg and sending instruments will
probably have to he tuned electrically
TO one another and by this means
wireless telephone communication
might be had without fear of some one
tapping the wireless line. Stubblefield
thinks that a transmitter for long
distance will not have to be of large
size. and in that event European and
American houses. with properly tuned

tions over wireless Instruments no

fected by Prof. A. Frederick Collins, a
nimble-witted Yankee of Philadelphia.

In accepting yesterday the resigna- tion of R. L. Long. superintendent of public instruction. Governor Murphy took official leave of one of the ablest and most useful members of his official family. MT. Longs administration or his office has been marked by excep- tional fidelity to the public interests, a contemptuous disregard for politicians and '.grafters,'' and a rigorous impar- tiality, all of which naturally has ere ated a few small-bore enemies of the self-seeking kind. A superintendent who steadfastly refuses, as Long has refused, to give tips" on examination questions, and who cannot be cajoled, bulldozed or bribed, as Long has re- fused to be cajcled, bulldozed or bribed. into giving certificates where teachers have failed to pass the prescribed ex- animation, could not expect to avoid islander and innuendo.

The few who are always ready to predict fail ure have been ready to prophecy that Brodie will not succeed as governor, because he is not a politician It is true, doubtless, that Governor Brodie is as poor as politician as Governor Murphy But if he is lacking in ability to change his convictions with his coat, and if he has a contempt for the ap plause of the galleries. he has an in tegrity of character and a balance of mind which will enable him serenely to pursue his duty. regardless of mali cious and partisan criticism.
