had said. he did so now, but with

The ghost, on hearing this, set up

looked out.
The air was filled with phan-

in restless haste, and moaning as
they went. Every one Of them wore
chains like Marley's ghost; some
few (they might hav been guilty

none were free. Many had been

their lives. He had been quite ia

found his supernatural visitor
confronting him in an erect atti-

The apparition walked backward
from him; and at every step 1t
took. the window raised itself a
little, SO that when the specter
reached it, it was wide open. It
