TRUE GHOST STORIES.

Have you ever upon entering a house.
been affected by the atmosphere of
gloom which surrounded everything:
been oppressed by feeling of some
shadowy unhappiness which you could
rot shake off?
Conan Doyle, who has been for some
time past turning his attention to the
study of trustworthy phychic expert
ences, brings out this point in his stony
of THE Woman who Prayed" in
Hearsts for August.
There is nothing more wonderful
more incredible, and, at the same time,
as it seems to me, more certain" says
Conan Doyle, than that past events
may leave a record upon our surround
ings which is capable of making itself
felt, heard, or seen for long time
afterward.
Il do not know better case than
that which is recorded by the late Miss
Goodrich Freer, a lady who combined
steady nerve and cool Judgment with
a temperament which was conserva-
tive to the point of incredulity. She
slept in a room in Hampton Court
palace which had record of haunt
ing &. .
TT was a small bedroom without
curtains, with one door close to the bed
She was awakened by sounds
Of movement
1T was quite dark and some detain-
ing force seemed to prevent her from
reaching for the matches.
Suddenly there appeared a soft point
of light in the room, which glowed and
spread, until it became the figure of
a tail women. moving slowly across
the room.
"She raised her thin white hands.
sank upon her knees, buried her face
in the palms, and appeared to pray.
Then the light went out and the scene
was over.
Granting the fact. and there is no
sane alternative but to grant it, we
can not conceive that this unfortun,
ate woman has really, for a century
or more, occupied herself in walking
across a room in which some great
trouble may have befallen her in her
earth life. From her appearance one
would judge that she was more snned
against than shining. Why, then, should
any just dispensation condemn her to
so strange, monotonous, and useless
a fate?
IF we conceive, however, that it is
some shadow Of herself which was de-
tached in old days of trouble and still
fingers, then certainly the matter be-
comes \more clear If she herself is
happy elsewhere"

THE LONG TRoDDEN PATH.

Love is not dead.
We have cherished it too long.
We have planted it too deep.
And we have watered well
The roots and branches spread
In earth and airy song.
Love has a word to keep,
A word to tell.
Yes, that is all.
| know behind the fume
OF this poor difference
Love waits, nor grieves too much,
Till the old voices call,
And sings upon the gloom
Too sure an eloquenCe
For death to touch.
Too long a date
Has love between us piled
For that long trodden path
To wear in woods or rain
Too long in loves debate
Have we been satisfied,
For jealousies of wrath
To blind the brain.

The Yakutat re- turns were received at the office of the clerk of the court. says the Ju- ncau Empire.

Washington in q few days for South Africa with a party of hunters and motion picture camera man. The pur- pose of the trip is to film the wild ami malS of Nairohi and other parts of the continent. An airplane will be part of the equipment to be used for scout ing purposes. However, viewing past experiences in this line of endcaNOr it k not 50 certain that the flying ship will be the success that is anticipated.
 Several years ago, about the time of the celebrated Roosevelt hunt of the South African veldtS, w. D.

They probably thought bal loon would bc safe place from which to take pictures of lions. They had lot of trouble with their native packers.
 To make gas for the balloon, they needed several gallons of nitric acid, which had to be carried in tanks. The tanks leaked, and before they were many miles from Nairobi, the backs Of the members of the Safari rcScmblcd so many spotted lcopardS. The acid ate the black pigments from under their skins. However, they got the balloon in and floatcd it.
 Their failure to get pictures was iu" to the fact that grapevine ncws travels faster among uncivilizcd tribcs. From Cape Colony to the Guincau Coast and from the Trans vaal to Carlo the news had gone that men were going to float through tho air in ship. SwahiliS, Mata- bclcS ZuluS. Kaffirs. buShmen and nvnn Arabs from the Far North came to tho hunting grounds in literal thousands to see the great sight. Naturally the game left for other places and all that McCutcheon and Boycc could see from the balloon vas countless thousands of sets of white teeth set in black faces star ing Skyward The few animal pie lures they got were taken from the ground
 In South Africa to this day are many black men with white spots on their backs and whenever a stranger draws attention to them the coloniStS usually say: "Ah yes, we have a lot of those kind. De've had 'cm ever since those two crazy jouln- aliStS from America were here"
