In the current number of the
Royal Magazine the duke of Argyll

general title o "Can We Sc.-Gho-st:-?"

sources.
TUE PHANTOM IX THE YELLOW DHESS.
There is a heautiful old manor
house in Yorkshire the property of
Mr. X. which is never mentioned
in the county without some ques-
tion being asked concerning its
ghost. It is stich a charmingly
dressed and such a heautiful ghost
and its story is .profoundly pa-
thetic. The last man who saw it
was a celebrated painter and a
hardened sceptic so far as ghosts
are concerned. He had been com-
missioned to paint Mr. X.'s daugh-
ter and was invited to stay at the
house a Sw dnys. Arriving at six
o'clock rwwi evening he found that
his host and 'hostess and their
daughter were-still out. lie was at

ment to inquire "if there was not
another la.Qy coming to dinner?"
Then with some excitement the
asked him lo describe her. He did
so in no little .bewilderment for
the truth kid not .as yet begun lo
dawn upon liim. And when lie had
finished they told Jzim that be had
just seen the family ghost. Subse-
quently he learned .th a the beauti-
jjlul apparition was tiie wife of a
icavalier who liad been killed in ihe
Civil War. She had died of a broken
heart and had often appeared in
the same part of the house. Her
dress was so remarkable that no one
could mistake the figure.

thought of inquiring what the in-
truder was about in another person's
room but then thinking she might
be someone who had a right to be
there discreetly retired. "What was
she like?" "Oh such an odd-look
ing person" replied the maid; ''and
so quaintily dressed! She woro a
high dark rap with a long scarf fall-
ing from the top of it." Nothing
more was said to the maid. But the
explanation of her story is a strange
one for in another part of the pal-
ace there is a picture of the "odd-
looking person" she saw in her mis-
tress's room and the picture repre-
sents the nurse of King Edward VI.
She had been seen more' than onco
before just where the maid saw her.

who lived in them in past times
still "walk abroad." Now one day
not very long ago a woman in the
service of a Iad' staying at the pal-
ace came to her mistress with a
curious tale. She had seen she said
when quite casually entering her
mistress's room a most extraordi-
narily dressed person. At first she
borhixid. Immediately t lie lady-
saw it its appearance struck her as
being familiar and when they were
inside ?-he turned abruptly to the
old woman who had admitted her
and whom she also seemed to rec-
ognize. "Is this house haunted?"
she asked. "Well ma'am" replied
the caretaker who regarded her
with one concealed aversion and
fear "you ought to know consider-
in" as its vm that haunts it! "
LONG ON FUTURE.
Wrshtngton Evening Star.
"Don't you think thi country
has a great future before it ?"'
"Young man" answered the
statesman who affects a pf-nderou&
manner of expression. "I have
given the subject deep thought.
And I have come to the conclusion
after unbiased consideration froc
every possible point of view that
this country's supply of future is
practically inexhaustible."
