The cheek! l tell you the things were rum
ed "
And nothing stolen?"
Ghosts are not thieves. They only come back
retend to themselves that they are still living
e old scenes, and that their bit OF a fling is not
'ver forever. l can we'll imagine how the Door
IS feel; can't YOU? OF course, nothing was
n, though l did miss something out of the trunk
Z or two afterward-2
What was that
ly agreement with the theater Couldn't find
IN or low in the place; though was pretty sure
= had put II into that very trunk. Three weeks
1t had disappeared, 10 and behold! nv agree
comes to me one morning through the post
etter with it, not a word of explanation, lust
blessed agreement by itself staring me in the
ike a miracle. Now, I'm rather off miracles:
aren't you? So / said TO myself
But stay, what was the pOstmark on the
enVelOp which brought you back this agree
ment?" asked David.
Just London, and a barred gate"
now?"
Now, do I look like anybody who ties
up old enVelOps IN packets Or do YOU take
me for an old maid: Because, if you do, just
let me know"
Certainly not an old one,'' said David.
But how as to the second visit of the
ghost?"
The second time it was about three in
the morning. Jenny did not see her then;
but we both woke up at the same moment
without any apparent Cause-we were sleep
ing together, you may bet your last dollar on
that-and we both smelled something like
V1olets, and we heard d sound too like the
top of the piano being shut down Miss
L Estrange, Jenny whispered into nv ear,
there IS something in the draWing-rOou =
Go, Jenny, l whispered to her and see
what 1t IS. = You go, Miss L L'Estrange, Jenny
whispered to me- YOU being the mistress
and III come after But YOU are the SER
want, l whispered to her YOU go - No.
Miss L Estrange, she whispered back, YOU
are Drawer than me; you go, and III come
after. - No, you know that you are much
the bravest, Jenny; so don't be such a cow
ard l whispered to her, and I'll come after
1t was like tarciCal comedy At this we
heard something like chair falling upon the
carpet IN the drawing room, and now we were
IN such a state OF fright that we COuldn' move
lnds, TO say nothing of our feet. Then long
passed; we didn't hear anything more so,
about half an hour of it, Jenny and together
rush tor the switch, and got out into the
ng-room. Then again we scented a faint
hing ike V1Olets; but nobody was there, and
ither saw nor heard anything more"
}, after that second experience, suppose. YOU
stay no longer in the fat" said David
did stay a few days. 1t WASH [ altogether the
that drove me away, though that may have
OmethIng to do with it, but the cheek and the
lesS OF the man who put me there"
the All, l beg pardon, said David, with
I'd lids.
/, this ism Sunday-school. If YOU hem and
It me, III show you the short cut to the
door, 1t was fair business arrangement;
4 I you think anything else. The man was
Strauss, and whether his motive in putting
ere was quite square or not, don't let him
Sc that l am going to screen him. for I'm not
straight with those that are straight with me;
hose that are up to mean tricks, let them
e of the color of my hair
YOU were put into the fat
dn't I 60 into it rent free: Stop; will tell
and you shall Judge for yourself whether
been shabbily used or not One night last
t l was introduced by a friend to a gostle-
famed Strauss-dark pale man pretty fetch
1t not my style. However next day he turned
my place. was living then on Great Titch-
t, and what do YOU think my man wanted?
