TWO .spooKY" STORIES.
A Crash That, Broke Nothing and q
Vanished Dinner.

When ~Spiritualism was comparatively
new and we were youngsters, we used to
hear delightful spooky stories about mys
FERROUS actions of furniture and things
which one never seems to hear nowadays.
I remember n about some people who
had guests invited to a grand dinner. Tha
table was spread with all the dishes, but
the meal had not yet been served. The
family had q great store Of beautiful glass
and china, and it wa all or the table.
For q moment the servants were all out OF
the dining room, and just at that moment
all the people in the rest Of the house
heard a dcafening crash Of falling dishes-
From the dining room there came the
sound Of glassware precipitated upon the
floor and crushing into fragments, and IN
the midst Of the roar Of this wreck there
rose to the terrified ears Of the host and
hostess the high, clear note Of the smaah-
ing of much thin china.
Everybody in tho house-family, guests,
servants-rushed to the dining room door
at the same moment, expecting to see
nothing less than the table ~overthrown
and every precious dish on 1t broken. And
what did they beholdf The table set In
perfect order, with not q thing on 1t dis.
turbed. What had made the awful crash
Nobody ever knew. Not a dish was even
nicked in that house that day. The spirits,
80 the story ran to us, had just made q
terrible ghostly crash for the fun OF 1t and
the alarm of the household.
I remember that this story impressed
me O great deal more than it would have
Impressed me II the dishes had really been
found smashed, though 1t could have been
proved that no human being had been In
the room at the time. had never before
heard Of q ghost that was q crash and
nothing more. I fancy the establishment
of those alleged people was not greater
than that Of q friend Of mine over an cpl
sode not at all similar. This gentleman's
wife and daughter were out shopping one
afternoon, and he reached home ahead Of
them. So far from feeling grieved and
outraged at not finding them there to
make him welcome, he set to work pleas
antly to give them a surprise by getting
them their supper. He hadn't much IN
the house, but he set out what he had and
placed on each Of three plates a nice lot ID
sardines and then went out to make them
tea. He got it made and came back and
looked at his table in astonishment. Hi
supper was gonel The plates were thers
just where he had placed them, but they
were as clean as when he put them on.
He knew that there was not another hu.
man being In the house: What sprite had
waited away those sardinesp
This Is q true story. There was not an
other human being in the house, but thu

spaniels, and they were in the house. Who
