How the Ghost Was Laid.

In taking title to Hever Castle
Squire Aston almost got another
ghost on his hands. But this shook

he was not such a romantic specter
as the shade of sweet Mistress Anne
Boieyn, but he WIS a very gloomy

weird story of the phantom: One

But soon after he was laid awav

waters of the river that close to hand
flows east and west. All the maids
got goose flesh and the men fearful
to roam about much, o dank, dark
nights For the uneasy spirit kept
up its tenancy and TVS moaning i'm
the corridors and its peeping into
the meats.
Then a wise thought struck the
rector of the parish of the time. "Ah,
ha! | have T.. quoth he TO himself
after deep meditation. We will ex-
OTcisie his ghostship.'
So with much pomp and circum-
stance. and armed with a candle. the
English prayer-book, and a bowl of
water. he began his lamentations to
lay the spook. His pious Offices pre-
vailed, the gloomy specter of the
murdered farmer returned to its
proper sphere and no more came
back to scare the .ousemaids and
yokels of the castle.

and water. It probably dates from
King Stephen.
Mr.. Astor has set about to restore
this feudal stronghold to its former
self. His plan is not to destroy, but
to reconstruct. And when all OF its
new owners plans are fully per-
fected the venerable pile will be one
of the show places of Great Britain
Millions will be spent in the restor-
alton of its former Tudor grandeur.
There are TO be there a superb
Italian garden and model farm, an
artificial lake of forty-five acres and
an extensive deer park, among other
wonders. A new public road three
quarters of a mile long is in pro-
cess of construction, and an immense
new bridge over the river is done.
An artesian well and a vast reser-
voir; a big power house for electric
light and unequaled piggeries, on
one of which $1,000 was expended in
woodwork alone; eowsheds decorated
in white tiles; dairy, the floor of
which is inlaid with Italian mosaics,
with a richly carved fountain in the
center, are a few significant details
in this remarkable and comprehen-
sive scheme While all the most
model inventions are to be applied
to extraneous matters, the castle and
its immediate gardens are TO be kept
strictly archaic And it is the castle
itself, with its moars and gardens,
that appeal To one most. The whole
place is as redolent of the memory
of the unfortunate Anne Boleyn as
of lavender.

That Anne knew the Kings in
tatuation and that she had lured him
ON to loving her, there is little doubt.
And 1t was in the garden walks and
IN the long corridors of Hever, so
tradition saith. that the maid wan
dered up and down all day, awaiting
sometimes at the oriel, sometimes
from the bridge-the coming of the
King or news of him, for had he not
promised? And Anne-a real Mari

At last Amos king has come. And
about these walls and in these gar
dens that Mr. Astor now has TO him

guzzling, great clatter of hoofs and
cries of huntsmen, and cards and
quoits, and hawking and much court
ing of Anne by the burly King. And
then he rode away again to court.
Anne still waited in her garden.
Her days go by in dreaming dreams
that seemed TOO dazzling to be ever
realized Would the King keep his
promise? Could he perform it? A
clatter of steel. the croak of the
drawbridge, d breathless horse all

King. Anne tore it open alone in

and prying eyes by the hedges of
