Sailed Ghosts
By LAWRENCE ALFRED CLAY
Copyright, 1910, by Associated Literary Press

Mrs. George Armstrong, relict OF
George Armstrong of the village Of
Brunswick, had passed her year Of
mourning. and there were gossips In
the village mean enough to say that
she was In the market again. OF
course they did her injustice. No
widow is ever In the market. II It so
happens that women contract a sec
ond marriage, 1t Is q matter Of sur
prise to them. They didn't plan to,
and how they came to do 1t Is a mat
ter to puzzle them
It was true that the widow Arm
strong was looked upon with favor
by several men. There was the piano
tuner that came down from Cleveland
every two or three months ON his
rounds of the villages. She had no
piano, but he called and discussed
grand opera with her. He had long
hair and wild eyes and dandruff on
his coat collar. and he had thrown
out hints that his artistic soul longed
for a mate.
Then there was the sewing machine
man. He had short hair, tame eyes
and no dandruff. but he had his good
points. He had committed pages and
pages Of Shakespeare to memory. and
between the way he could spout them
and repair a sewing machine was
something to make q widow sit up
and think.
And then there were the village
butcher, the lightning rod man. the
druggist over at Liverpool and the
man who came twice a year to sell
the farmers fertilizers and labor saw
ing machinery.
For not being on the market, and
for a woman who did not In the least
encourage the flattery of men, the
widow Armstrong was well provided
for. The last, but not least, Of her
admirers was the village carpenter.
His name was Philips, and he was
a bachelor. He was coy man and
shy man. OF course he couldn't

woman coming, but he talked as little
as he could and got away as soon as
he could. He hadn't married simply
because he was shy.
1t was when the widow Armstrong
laid OF her weeds that a great event
happened In the life of Mr.. Phillips.
He found himself thinking of her
not thinking whether she wanted a
summer kitchen built on to her house,
or the picket fence repaired, but of
her as prospective wife. He thought
and blushed. He thought and lodged
He thought and felt chills. 1t was
no use to Danish the thoughts! Once
they got foothcld they stuck by him
like a porous plaster. But what
could the poor man do? There he
was. born shy and coy, and the widow
might marry 20 times over be-
fore he would dare to tell her of his
love. He did brace himself to walk
BY her house. and to bow to her, and
to sit IN the pew behind her at
church. but at the same time he real
lied that widows are not won that
way. He even went so far as to put
a hinge on her gate and make her a
press-board gratis, but was that
counting and telling her that he could
not live without her?
And all the while Mr.. Phillips was
loving and hoping and dispairing. he
was hearing from the gossips how
this or that man was laying siege to
the widows heart. He just groaned
as he listened to the talk. Then the
hour came to him when it, must be
