Townsend generously kept house during her alb
sence. Meanwhile many. strange things had oc-
Cured which might have disturbed less philo-
sophical mind than that of the housekeeper. FIRE.
quently, upon returning little earlier than she
was expected, Kate would hear the excited voice
of Mrs. Townsend, as if in alteration with some
one in the library, and when that lady emerged
at last, after stormy session, her face than
once showed traces of violent weeping Once,
only once, did the housekeeper succumb to the
temptation Of eavesdropping She had just let
herself in with the latch-key, and was startled
to hear her own name above the uproar.
"She is beautiful, and she has fine figure, and
lovely hair-just the kind you used to admire.
Why can you not do this for me, Stephen? Why
can you not let me alone and allow me to be hap
py?" All of which did not make matters any
clearer to the puzzled girl, although at the same
time it failed utterly to awaken the least tremor
or thrill of fear. So far it was a comedy.
One afternoon, when she returned from her
half-holday excursion, Mrs. Townsend met her
with serious troubled face. "Miss Kamp,"
she asked solicitously. "do you not sleep well?"
ooh, yes, very well indeed thank you. Why
do you ask, Mrs Townsend?'
"Why, my husband complains that someone
disturbed him terribly last night. He has been
away, out of town, for some time; in fact, be-
lieve he said he hadn't spent a night at home
since you came until last night"
"Oh, he has been away them" Kate faltered.
So that explained, perhaps, why she had not been
disturbed as had her shortIhved predecessors.
"Miss Kamp," continued Mrs Townsend
Miss Kamp, do not believe you would deceive
me about matter which so concerns my happi-
ness. You did not sleep in--in Mr.. Townsend's
bed last night, did you?"
"Why, certainly not" was the unblushing
falsehood, the first that it had become necessary
to tell the trustful Widow
"rhere now, / was sure I was right" trium.
phantly argued the older woman. 81 told my
husband he must be mistaken but he says he
wasn't He insists he got in about midnight, and
found you in his bed, and that he had to sleep
in the one next the wall. You are quite sure,
Miss Kamp, that you made no mistake? You
are quite certain you were in your own bed?"
Absolutely certain, Mrs. Townsend"
That night Kate tumbled into the outside bed
as usual. "That woman is something more thar

and the janitor's wife had TO let her stay with
her until morning. She told the elevator man
that the spirit had sworn a blue streak at her
and that she plainly heard him kicking the furni-
ture She wouldn't even 60 inside the next morn
ing to get her clothes until Mrs. Townsend came
up from the hotel and got things fixed with the
agent. The elevator man resigned and 80 did
the janitor. They wouldn't stay in building
where there was a ghost, they said, and some
Of the tenants moved out too when they heard
the story. The agent wanted Mrs. Townsend to
give up the place, as it was making lots Of talk,
but the lady pleaded 80 hard and offered hm
double the regular rent, so he gave in"
"And did they ever find out what made the
noises?" Kate asked, resuming the dinner, which
had remained untouched during the walters story.
"Well, not exactly" he replied, helping Mr..
Townsend's dessert.dish TO the pudding, unless
it was the radiators. They do goan something
awful sometimes of nights, and the water-pipes
make fearful noise, too, sometimes. 80 don
get scared when you hear rumpus'"
"After ALL though it does give one sort OF
queer feeling" she commented, after Mulhny had
departed with his empty dishes. She looked at
the handsome face Of her spirit host. 1t was
fine piece Of pastel work, and showed a ruddy,
bronze-tin skin and merry, keen blue eyes
She felt queer feeling Of sympathy as she stud-
led the clever countenance.
The remainder of the evening passed pleasantly.
She wrote letters for while in the library, be-
fore the glowing fireplace, the evening was
chilly. She rummaged among the beautifully
bound books and, true to her contract. wound
up the evening with the playing of some of the
late Mr. Townsend's favorite compositions.
We'll, this is a lark, isn't it? and snap,
too?" she said while undressing. The waiter s
story had been dismissed from her practical mind,
and. happy over the good fortune that had so
suddenly overtaken her, she tumbled into her
allotted one of the twin beds, and was soon fast
asleep.
Thus the days and weeks passed happily I'm
disturbed by any manifestat tions of the spirit of

quiet life of elegance which she led in this hand

As Kate sat in the gathering twilight of the
October day she turned over all the strange hap
penings Of the several days previous "But if
Mr.. Townsend's spirit demands housekeeper,
why does she have to be red-headed woman
and have good figure" she asked, again looking
up at the bird. ''Why wouldn't any neat, tidy
housekeeper do just well?"
This reverie was interrupted by the arrival of
the waiter. "Well, Miss, how's it going by this
timer" he asked while he arranged the dishes.
The table was set for two. He ladled out the
soup and carved the roast into two portions.
Ignoring Mrs. Townsend's injunctions, she allow
ed him to grow loquacous. He was a young
Irishman
"Queer lady, that Mrs. Townsend he went
on, filling the numerous wine glasses grouped
around the plate dedicated to Mr.. Townsend's
spirit. Mighty pretty woman, too, and a fine
lady to wait on"
you've known her for some time, them"
ventured the housekeeper, now slipping daintly at
the hot consomme.
"Yesm, I've been downstairs three years now,
and am the only waiter that ever serves meals
up here"
Indeed? / am not the first housekeeper,
them"
"No, NIa'am; you're about the twenty first. They
don't stay long. There was five tried it last
month"
"What was the matter with the others?"
queried the girl.
Aiullany cast swift, searching glance towards
Kate's SOBER serious face, as if to determine
how much it was safe to tell her. "Oh, moth
ing particular the matter with the girls, only
they all got scared None of them stayed more'n
one night"
"Why was that?"
The waiter hesitated. 81 don't know whether
