ALL KINDS OF GHOSTS
Polly Andrews Discovered a
Daylight Species.
BY CLARA INEZ DEACON.

Sheriff Bob Andrews was climbing
into his buggy to drive to town when
his daughter Jolly came out of the
house to call to him:
"0h. dad. I'm going over to the
Ricketts, place SOday to get wild
plums."
Lots of them there" he replied,
tbut what about the ghosts?"
They never show up by daylight,
you know"
Well, don't Hlrt with them. II they
do"
The old Ricketts, place was a mile
down the highway. 1t was a small
farm and a rambling old house that
had been abandoned for years. The
land had grown up to weeds and briars
and tangle, and the house was door
less and windowless. and tenanted by
all kinds Of ghosts, from that of Henry
Ward Beecher to that of a murdered
pack peddler. When the boys visited
the place to snook around they went
in gangs, and the men who drove past
after dark made their horses step q
little faster at this spot Everybody
laughed about the ghosts of the Rick
ett's house, but nobody made a hunt
for them.
Polly Andrews had been visiting che
place at intervals for the last five
years. There we're artlchokes, apples,
plums and berries to be found there in
season, and healthy girl has the
same appetite for those things as a
boy. She has never peered into the
front door, But that &as the limit
No use in tempting the ghosts to
spring out and do murder. The wild
plum season had come again, and
Polly would defy several ghosts for an
the fruit she could eat. Yes, there
were plenty Of wild plums, as her ia.
ther had said, and she sat down under
tree to "gobble."
From where she sat, the girl could
see only one end Of the house. There
were four window-openings in view
and she had glanced at them several
times and wondered what the interior
of the house was like. when the face
