Just then the acting manager came

all don't let NJ. Debienne and NJ.
Poligny hear; it would upset them

They all went on TO the foyer of

the smile brutally.
THE opera ghost!"
Jammes yelled these words in a
tone of unspeakable terror; and her
finger pointed, among the crowd of
dandies, to a face so pallid that the
deaths head in question Immediately
scored huge success.
The opera ghost!"
Everybody laughed and pushed his
neighbor and wanted to offer the
opera ghost a drink, but he was gone.
He had slipped through the crowd;
and the others vainly hunted for him,
while two old gentlemen tried to calm
little Jammes and while little CRY
stood screaming like peacock.
Sorelli was furious; she had not
been able to finish her speech; the
managers had kissed her, thanked her
and run away as fast as the ghost
himself. They were to receive their
personal friends, for the last time, in
the great lobby outside the managers
office, where supper would be served.
Here they found the new managers,
NJ. Armand Moncharmin and NJ. Fir
min Richard, whom they hardly knew;
nevertheless, they were lavish in pro-
testations Of friendship and received
hattering compliments in reply.
The retiring managers had already
handed over to their successors the
two tiny master-keys which opened
all the doors-thousands of doors-of
the opera house. And those keys
were being passed from hand to hand,
when the attention of some OF the
guests was diverted by their discov-
cry, at the end of the table, of that
strange, wan and fantastic face, with
the hollow eyes. which had already
appeared in the foyer Of the ballet.
THE opera ghost,"
There sat the ghost, as natural as
could be. except that he neither ate
nor drank.
He did not speak word and his
neighoors could not have stated at
what moment he had sat down be-
tween them. The friends OF Richard
and Moncharmin thought that this
skinny guest was an acquaintance OF
DEFICIENCIES OF Poligny's, while De-
bienne's and PoIigny's friends be
lieved that the cadaverous individual
belonged to Richard and Monchar-
minis party.
The result was that no request was
made for an explanation.
NM Debienne and Poligny. sitting
az the center of the table, had net
seen the man with the deaths head
Suddenly he began to speak

as Buquet dead?" they cried.

"Yes," replied the man, or the
shadow of man, quietly. HE was
found. this evening, hanging in the
third cellar, between a farmhouse and
scene from the Roi de Lahore"
The two managers, or rather ex-
managers. at once rose and stared
strangely at the speaker. At last
Debienne made sign to NM. Rich
ard and Moncharmin; Poligny NUT
tered a few words of excuse to the
guests; and all four went into the
managers office. l leave NJ. Mon
charmin to complete the story. In
his Memoirs, he says:
INN. Debienne and Poligny seemed
to grow more and more excited. First,
they asked us If We knew the man,
sitting at the end of the table, who
had told them of the death OF Joseph
Buquet: and, when We answered in
the negative, they looked still more
concerned. They took the master
keys from our hands, stared at them
for moment and advised US to have
new locks made, with the greatest
secrecy, for the rooms, closets and
presses that we might wish TO have
Theoretically closed. They said this
so funnily that we began to laugh and
to ask If there were thieves at the
opera. They replied that there was
something worse, which was the
ghost. They told us that they never
would have spoken to us Of the ghost
if they had not received formal or
deTs from the ghost himself to ask
US to be pleasant to him. They had
hesitated to tell US this curious story.
which our skepticaI minds were GER
tainly not prepared to entertain. But
the announcement of the death of Jo-
seph Buquet had served them as a
brutal reminder that, whenever they
had disregarded the ghosts wfThes,
some disastrous event had brought
them to sense Of their dependence.
"The joke became little tedious;
and Richard asked half-seriously and
half in jest:
But, after all, what does this ghost
of yours want?'

over a month, except the ghost, and
orders have been given at the box
office that it must never be sold"
And does the ghost really come
there?"
Yes. And he has no dress-coat
and no head. You only hear him
when he is in the box. Mother has
never seen him, but she has heard
him. Mother knows, because she
gives him his program"
There was a sound Of hurried foot
steps in the passage and a voice
cried:
"Cecile, Are you there?"
It's mothers voice" said Jammes.
She opened the door. A respect
able lady, built on the lines OF a
Pomeranian grenadier, burst into the
dressing-room and dropped groaning
into a vacant armchair.

Ma Jammes gave her opinion, while
she emptied a glass of liqueur that
happened to be standing on table;
the ghost must have something to dc
with it.
The news soon spread all over the
opera. The dressing-rooms emptied
and the ballet-girls, crowding around
Sorelh like sheep around their shep-
herdess, made for the foyer through
the ill-Ht passages and staircases
trotting as fast as their little pink
legs could carry them.
