' ' Arabella Crowel's Ghost. sr »: a. warns. My si'ter Deborah had always had a fancy for the house— s gaUe-roofed, " broail-porticoed okl atom- bouse, slamll- ing back from the street -in the midst Of a square of garden aud fruit tree*. Ami " ~i when, in driving oust our day. we y sa* Ihe nullce "To Let" jkmuh! upon the }' front gate, wc alighted and walked up to I hs^ graveled pathway to make^ intpiires. 1 and showed us into the parlor, where • the laily of tlie house soon appeared. J j She was a tali, slender and rather - hand- 1 ; some woman, with bright. jet-Mack eyes [ I and hair, and a perfectly clear and colorj less complexion. She explained that * : h#r husband's death, about two years , ] previous. The house was loo large for ' i use, snd site desired to let the main por, P'i ti»n of it, retaining the wing of three j rooms for her own use. The arrange. [, | mcot and terms suiting i|». we soon II [ two weeks UicrcafUw Deborah and I j were quietly established in our pew I abode. a contented old maid and bachelor. Deborah was ten years older than my. ] self, and hud ever since my 1h#kher!eas „ infancy ai-l«i toward, me a maternal II : part. We Were in what is caHrd inde. ..rpebdent ciremnAlan. «. 1 had a gaol r I businees in Ihc city and. finding my , comfort well cared for . at home, hail la-en very well contented, and reached my fortieth year without having lb might . much upon the subject of changing my , bachelor condition. .Nor did sueli a Ihoughtaen'ously present Itself until I may as well confess it— until I had known our landlady, Mrs. Arabella ! Under other circumstances, perhaps, r it might have been different, hut being thrown so frequently into her presence sealing her al first nearly every dav, in 1 connection with certain proposed nr. f raitgements and improvements of the place, and afterwards so often meeting ; her about twilight accidentally In the grounds wliicli by mutual agreement remained open to both families - it was not strange, I thought, that we should I closer mutual interest tjiaa might have i been the ease under ordinary circumstance.. She Was not over" ibirty al ! most, was clever and agreeable, and had ■ many liltle bewitching .ways and cgprt's- ' sums, aornetimes-' lluely and sarcastic. ! sometlm>-s_ .pathetic snd tender, which exercised over me a peculiar fascination, almost in despite ef niy own will. And . flie twilight, after >up|Wr. 1, with some niv sister the subject of marrying Ihc Widow Cniwlr. ' " Deborah had never pariicylarily fan- ' cied her, and she now swept her pet . "»Wl»«htll lobby cat oat of ht- lap. 1 and looked at me aghast. ' , "Gracious good Ilea., Oliver! You don't ' mean to say thai you reallj— -that she— that -you arc engaged to marry that "Not exactly engaged; that it, I have | never directly-asked her to marry luc, , she knows— ahem! there is what , , may be called an understanding between j "Understanding!" exclaiming Deborah j imligoontlv. "lu roy opinion you've no Y'on don't understand liiat .he's an art- ) tliat j

ful, designing woman, who has probably from Ihe Bis! been planning and maneuvering to gel you in hor power. You don't understand what her temper or disposition or history may be. Now I have heard things froih the neighbors concerning all this which 1 scarcely •cared to repeat to you, hut which, under present circumstances, it is of course Imunden duty to inform you of.1' •What thlngsf" I Inquired, faintly. •First, about 'her temper. She's a . termagant! lxok at her eyes! and if could hear her some days scolding that old black woman, you'd, know her better. A nice henpecked husband you'd maker Why the neighbors say it Is more than snsiiecteil that her husband committed suicide by voluntarily taking the dose of morphine of which he died — driven to it by the life she led him. And she's quarreled with all ber relations which Is the reason she happens to lie ' living so solitary and alone." I pondergd Deborah's words. I came to (he conclusion that I had been hasty and Imprudent, and had made a narrow escape And thenceforth 1 avoided'Arabella Cnvwle. Rut she didn't avoid me. Oh, nn. On the contrary site sought me assiduously. Bbe met me around street oor^ Dert; she wavlaal me In the garden alleys; and flnin.r she went to my office, and directing the clerk tn say thai a latft ' wished to see me nn tmslneaa. followril Into my Inner office room, ami there roajesticalv demanded to know the ' Wlia? could I sar- or do? Only delicately suggest that she had misunderstood my Intentions. Only hint that though it would dellgbt me to remain her gco I and devoted friend, yet that a closer or more Intimate tin would scarcely contribute to the happiness of either; ami that— But here she Interrupted me. "Du 1 understand." she said, looking ; straight at tne vritb her Mark and (flittering eves, "that in »o many words, in short, kfter all that has been said, after ' all our plans and arrangements in regard to Ibe future, you now drrilne to keep ; promise in marry me?" "Pardon me; but there was no promise , positirr proposal on my part- A lit- ( flirtation such as oura " And then she Interrupts me again, ami startled and appalled ot with an exhibition of that temper which my prnand penetrating sister had sitribu- . ted to her. I will not describe the 1 will not repeat what she said - except the last words. "You will find that 1 am not one to be trifled with, or to tamely submit to an ' jttnolt. I will be avenged! As long as 1 : live I win haunt your life, -ami make yiru j feel the influence of a wronged apd In- ! suited woman—" Here 1 must h«vr smiled, for she added with a concent™ , t-d Intensity of passion "And even if I die before yon do. I will haunt yon then! mv words and be sure of |L'" Then she left the office, and I never ; again saw ber— alive. 1 saw her. however, in her coffin the . dav of her fnnrrsl, two days after she , had dropped, dead of heart disease at a public natal Deborah and I. with a neighbors, rode to the cemetery and saw the. coffin lowered Into the grave, and the and piled upon- U. And then wing of Ihe house in which she had resided was left shot np and silent , or- ! copied only by the old negro woman, nntli, as we nnderslood, x relative of could come from n distant state to look after the property. I used to think of ber somciimi 1. walking in the garden about twilight. I but always with a grateful, trembling sense of the fate which I had escaped. And It the thought of her last threat evrr (-reared tuv-mind. It was only to lamet with a smile for its childishness and ibsunliiT. Sv a week r.r two passed quietly Deborah had discharged oof last servant and war thawbed fa the trying and difficult task of flndhtc a new one who would suit. And one morning I returned

home wondering whether the girl jutl Sally l.unn properly ccoked.'or served as her predecessor had done— a mass of heavy dough. To my surprise. 011 my opening the , front door.

"There are no surh things as ghosts." T "1 don't know." he answrred. with a doubtful shake of bis frizzly red hr.nl. ' "I've heard of strange things happening lour grandmother lie-- hanged ! I muttered tinder my breath, as I slammed down the lid of my- desk, as If by acci- , " dent, but violent enough to make'Ultiba , . start and forget his ghofitlv remintsoenees. And alt that day I was so nervous , and excited with watching the office , door, and listening to the fiotlslep# ami ! J voices of the people In the outer room, ; • that I found it impossible to pro|terly . attend to business. Thst evening, after tea, to quiet my 5 excited nerves, I walked with Deborah ' in the garden, np and down a bowery 1 walk, which was u sort of boundary line 1 , between our part of the house amf that 1 ' lately occupied by Mrs. Crowle. It was 1 . a warm, delirious summer rrraius. ami ' the scent of roses and jasmine filled the sir With fragrance, while the cool, white . lilies gleamed like silver in the moon- ■ light. Generally I enjoy these things. 1 but to-night I had no tlioucht of litem. A horrible incubus seemed hanging over ' my life. Omld it be pi«d||c thai ' Arabella Crowle* vtedlelWe Km-st was ' being fulfilled, and that the rest of my "* life was doomed to b« haunted by her ' ghost, or spirit, or spparition, or what ■ ever it may lie. which now seemed dog- , \ glttfi my dally steps '! But ghosts! Psnaw ! lmw weak and foolish I was be. coming! Of course- 1 knew that, though I could not explain to myself the mysterious visits which had lately occurred, " " there could bo no such things as ghosts. : And with this thonght. I with s eonJ temptoous smile, lifted my eyes from the ground and saw looking 'or«r a re«ehrdge, exactly facing me— the ghost of ' It wt" only; a momentary glimpse, for , the next Instant the apparition had ran- ' i-b'-u. hut In thst moment I saw it plainly " In the moonlight. There were the large : ' black eyes fixed upon me, the white ■ marble-ilke complexion, the weU-tormed , features, the tall, slender figure, all In : white, only half of which I had seen aloivr the hfidge. It waa either Arabella Oowle, whom I had seen dead and hurled, or else Iter ghost! Dorothy' « exelsmstlon aroused mo. "Whst wss that ? I thought I saw something white just there ! Did you?" "Yes; I— I—saw the ghost of Arabella ' Oowle!" "Good (radons, Oliver! What do you mean ?" ~ . And then I told her all that I bad hitherto withheld from ber knowledge. 8hr , said nothing, but took my arm, aqd all ' in a Butler of agitation hnrrfed Itack V the house, and on • entering, ba ked and .
