rate, her heart ceased it's wild beating
sooner than before, and after the
sounds ceased she went to sleep.
The next morning she concluded not
to repeat her attempt to find out If the
dat above was occupied. but went d.
rectly to her place of business. Her
attention was again distracted by her
experience, and today she made q
blunder that, had it not been detect
ed, would have cost her employers
something like $4,000. Before leav-
ing the Office she was handed check
for the salary due her and told that
she need not return.
There was nothing to do but to 20
to her fat, get her dinner and on the
morrow commence hunt for another
situation. But the prospect for one
who had been discharged for making
a serious mistake of getting another
place was not bright.
Miss Williamson turned in that night
wishing the ghost would come into her
room during the night and put her out
OF her misery. If it did she might lie
there till her rent was due without her
demise being discovered.
That night she heard a door above
shut, few steps; then all was silent.
This was not repetition of the
sounds heard on the two previous
nights.
Miss Williamson, shaking of her
fears, got out of bed, put on a dress
ing gown and slippers and crept shrink
hgly upstairs. All was dark and ST.
lent in the hail. She stood listening,
but heard no sound. Then suddenly
there came grOan.
This was too much for the poor girls
pluck, and she ran downstairs so fast
that she came near breaking her neck,
for she fell at the bottom Of the fight,
and since it was dark as Egypt she
knew not what was in her way. She
picked herself up and stood uncertain
what next to do.
There was bravery In Miss William
sons makeup, and she determined to
make another attempt to discover the
ghost. Climbing the stairs again, she
stood with her face on a level with
the top step. It was also on a level
with the landing. Under the door of
one Of the rooms was a line of light.
For q few moments Miss William
sons mind was balanced between two
hypothesis. Either there was q super
natural glow in that room, or it was
Illuminated by artificial light. Being

she settled down to the opinion that a
gas jet was burning In the room. Ghosts
don't require gas jets. Therefore a
human being must be in the room
At this moment there was another
groan. This time the hearers imagina-
ton was not at work, and the groan
sounded human. 1t struck her that it
proceeded from one who was i'll. She
went to the door in question and open
ed it.
On a bed with his clothes on was
young man. He was very pale and
evidently in great pain. Miss William
son approached him and stood over
him.
"Shall call doctor?" she asked.

get over it pretty soon. Please look
in the top drawer Of that bureau.
You'll find small bottle. Give me
one Of the tablets in it,
Miss Williamson produced the tab
let, and it relieved the patient very
soon. The paroxysm from which he
suffered passed, and he did not have
| another. Miss Williamson told him
that she had thought the fat be was
in to be unoccupied and asked how
he came to be there and why she had
never seen him there in the daytime.

Miss Williamson gave the story as it
has been told here-how she had been
so upset by the strange sounds above
her that she had blundered at her
work and been discharged. She was
| out of position, and now she must
leave the only home she had.
"You shall not leave your home"
said the reporter, ''for l will cease to
come here. AS for position, think
l can get you one with the city editor
of my paper, who is in need of a
stenographer."
A way was finally found by which
the newspaper man remained. and

to marry and the lady moved upstairs
