THE DAILY NOVELETTE,
THE GHOST OF EBENEZER CUSHMAN

Some one is concealed somewhere -
said Ralph:
But where?' asked Barbara.
do You 'sposc it's really. truly
ghost:' queried Betty, clinging tightly
to her brothers hand.
Nonsense !" returned her brother.
Mr.. Simpkins said the ghost snor
ed, reminded Betty. "Thcre. Now"
Nonsense !" said her brother for the
second time.
"What's the use of trying to believe
what's not true said Barbara, with
tragedy in her voice. Some one is snor-
iug-now, who is it,"
"Lot's go home" said Betty. chok
ing back sob.
''Those fellows got the lap on me,
somehow said Ralph. giving the ivy
covered spout at the corner of the house
kick as he spoke. Presto! the pipe
lengths fell asunder.
'Behold the ghost - cried Ralph,
laughing uproariously.
"Why. - cried Barbara. "that's an
owl, isn't it?''
Its the ghost, l tell you,' said
Ralph. i've read somewhere that
barndOor owls do make noise that
is very like the snoring of an old man.
Probably owls have been scramblng in
and out of that spout for years. Old
Ebenezer. chuckling within himself, re-
allied that the ghostly sound would keep
the island free from the desccration Of
curious feet. Hold the light, Belts,
while / repair the damage I have done.
then We'll vamoose in a hurry and leave
the island to Fred and Bob-provided
they find their boat"
"And let's keep Ebenezer's secret, "
said Barbara, to which the others
agreed.
More than once in the days that fol
lowed, Barbara encountered twinkle
in the gray eyes of the farmer. One
dny he asked suddenly, whats the
meaning Of putting a thing up the
spout, Miss Barbara|
BY which remark Barbara inferred
that Mr.. Simpkins had been in the
secret all along.

His tired eyes We're like those of a
faithful dog who has had a long day
and sits quietly looking up at his mas
ter just before lying down on his rug
for the night. A neat and clean old
black man was he. but not so prosper
Gus as one would wish to be. perhsps,
in the evening of life. He was not
moving as rapidly as were most of the
people on the busy street, and from
time to time he almost stopped his
slow, shutting walk to enjoy looking
down at the lovely blue iris that he
carried tenderly in his wrinklcI hand
Any lover of flowers could see at n
glance that the old man was likewise
n lover of flowers, and more than one
busy passcrby turned to look at him
and the beautiful bloom he carried.
The woman who finally stopped the
old man and spoke to him about his
blue flower was kindly looking, elderly,
