he says.
When reporter called at the Kruger
home and inquired as TO the present
whereabouts Of the ghost" the Jesup
farmer in a tremulous tone of voice de-
ciared that it has been almost two
months since the strange phantom
made its eighth appearance and that it
has gone as mysteriously as it came.
II feel certain it wasn't a 'spook.
declared Mr.. Kruger. for I never did
believe in 'spooks.' The strangest thing
about its appearance was the fact that
neither bullets nor buckshot could
make any impression on it.
The first evening l saw the figure
which certainly wore a graveyard APP

to call it was standing still and stolid.
