The story is told of diver who saw
two ghosts full fathom five" under
the surface. He had gone down to the
wreck of large steamer and was
crossing the main saloon when two
gray shapes of enormous size came
stumbling toward him. He did not
wait To make notes for the Psychical
Society, but gave the danger signal and
was at once pulled up. Told in the
cheerful light of day, it seemed rather
lame story, and another diver went
down to see what he could make of it
Toward him also came the stumbling
gray shapes. He stood irresOlute for q
moment and then, going boldly for
ward, struck his Ratchet through
mirror The ghosts were only a dim
reflection of his own legs, much en-
larged, of course, as everything is that

eye of his helmet.

"Yes," put in the mother, "and l
don't want her to be promoted. l want
her to stop school, and then when she
gets older she'll get married, as every
girl ought to. My two daughters that
stayed in school aren't married yet. and
the one that didn't finish up at school
could have been married about four
times. and when she did marry she was
only 10. I'm going to take this one out
of school and bring her up right"
