GHOSTLY LOVERS ON WATCH
Legend of the City of Mexico That
Makes Peculiar Appeal to Super
stitious Residents.

One of the strange legends of the
City Of Mexico has to do with the Gale
de los Parados (Street of the Two
Idlers). According to the story there
was a beautiful girl Dona Maria Ysa-
bel de Vallejo y Vezca, who lived on
the street, and was beloved by two
men, one young officer and the other
a young merchant. After the custom
of the land at that period (about 1850
they indicated their love by standing,
one at each corner of the block, until
the dona appeared.
A plague fell upon the city about
this time and the girl died without 1t
becoming known to her lovers. She
was taken out and buried by night,
also unknown to the suitors. The
next day they stood at their respective
posts waiting in vain. The day after
they stood, and the day after that,
week after week, month after month,
and year after year. They at last
died, still on their posts, and their
ghosts are said to still stand at night.

Love Is Dead.
OF one thing she is certain, she said
That is that her love for Charles

to be, and that nothing now can come
between her and her present husband.
In this Mr.. Pierson agreed with her.

Mrs. Pierson. HE deserted me and

Morristown officials said that the
body found in a millpond there few
days after loops vanished from his
home never had been identified Off
cially, and had been buried in potters
field. Mrs. Pierson said that she had
assumed it was the body of loops be-
cause pruning knife was found in

carrying such tool She had been adj
vised not to inspect the body, she said,

Declares Her Love for Man Is
Dead and She Is Happy
With Present Husband.

Orange, n. J.--Mrs. Barker PiersOn
of Elizabeth street, almost collapsed
recently when she opened her door in
response to a ring and saw short,
dark complexiOned man whose hair
was beginning to turn gray. She rec
ognized him at once and barely could
hear him address her because of the
sudden roaring in her ears that seemed
an echo of the tumult in her brain.
He was Charles loops, her first hus-
band, whom she believed had been in
his grave for more than 10 years. Dim
ly she comprehended that he was
asking for the address of their son,
Adrian, now eighteen years old, who is
in the navy. The startled woman
heard herself responding mechanically
TO the question.
Was Great Shock.
The apparition leaned comfortably
against the porch railing and asked
her something else. What it was, Mrs.
PiersOn does not know to this hour.
The full significance of this mans re-
turn in the flesh had swept over her
with his casual assumption of an ease
full pose on her front steps. Sudden
recollection of the five-year-old boy
who was playing in the room behind
her and of the husband who soon
would return from work smote her,
and the shock was so great that she
suffered when her eyes lighted on the
small, dark-featured man before her.
Without another word to him, she
turned on her heel and shut the door.
She tottered to her bed and could
scarcely speak when Mr. Pierson,
