The rent— that was the stick. If 1 could only get a nice house for a s amount — “Owners off to Europe,” or soinething of that sort —we might make the rest work by careful management. “No use!” T sighed. *“Nice houses don't rent ‘for nothing.! Aud I was about to resume work, anq relinquish the hope when' my friend Johnston came in to see me. “What's the matter, Martyn’" he asked. ““You look like a whole fun- eral procession, ™ “Nothing,” L answered, dubiously; | “‘only wishing T could rent a fine house for about five hundred dollars.’ Johnston looked at me seriously for a moment; then, drawing a chair close to mine, he said— “T'll give you one rent free if you'll agree to live in it! It's furmshed in good style, too— *‘Where is it”" T asked. Johnston mentioned th: street and number, The location was unexcep- tional ““What the matter manded. My friend put his lips close to my car and whispered one awful word— “Ghosts!” T laughed. “Is that all? Well, as I'm not afraid ything in the ghost line, and Mollie is not one bit timid, . I'll agree to live there as long as you are pleased to accept thanks for rer ““All right, Martyn,” said Mr, John- u know, with it”” Tde- ston, ““I'shall be glad to have you but 1 give you fair warning, ou won't be able to stand it. 1 that y in two ycars, have had ten tenants and the boldest one remained two weeks, T tried it myself, but it was no use: I had to leave.” g e “What happened!” T asked eager- ¥ " 4Oh, Tsaw horrible thing Johnston turning pale. me!” Just then T was called away customer, and had no further by & oppor- tunity to think about the matter. After our little one's were in bed for the night 1 told my wife all about it, and asked her opinion in regard to it. Neither of us being superstitious, | decided to give the house a trial. id Mollie “‘I'llsend the children to Aunt Kate's | and go with you. We can sleep in the house, and take our meals av a vestaurant till we see whether we can unearth the ghost.’ W Sa Next day 1 sa: shnston, asked for a history of the house, and told him of our determination to give it a trial, ““All right,”said my friend. ‘I know you are a brave man, and your wife true as steel; nevertheless, T have no faith in your ability to outwit the devil; and the devil certainly holds possession of that house. 1f you do you shall have a five years' loase for nothing, 1 built the house; before it was completed I was called to En- gland by the death of my father. 1 lett my business in the hands of my partner, Davis, telling him that when the house was finished he could oceu- py it till my return. Davis did move in, but territle misfortune overtook hi His only child—a lovely.littlo girl -~ was attacked with scarlet fever and died, The mother, insane with grief, committed suicide, Poor Davis! he couldn’t endure the great, silent house after that, and moved out, giv- ing permission to his nephew, George Madden, to occupy it. George was a pretty wild boy, but he had about that time married a French wo- man with some money, and was very glad of the chance to live in so good a house rent free. Mrs. Madden was an ambitious woman, and it seems was not satisfied with the plainness of the house, She spent considerable money decorating the ceilings and placing mirrors in almost every place a mirror could be placed. You know » French woman will have mirrors and curtains if she goes without shoes and stock- ings. After ] came home from Eu- rope, I congluded to live in the house myself, and gave the Maddens notice | to leave. You neversaw anythin, like the rage madam flew into, and some pretty warm words passed be- tween Lcr husban 1 and myself. The upshot of the matter was that I bought his furniture andpaid twelve hundred dollars for his mirrors—sifice they could not be removed without disfiguring the walls—thopigh to, 1y taste all the fAummery makes the house look to dore, Well, 1 lived in it just one week and gave wp i dis- pair: having frightened my wife into ancrvous feyer and made my child a coward for life, I fear, "I )u{u “hot Jaround T saw him s house a trial yourseli,” were the clos ing words of my friend, 1 reported my interview with John ston to Mollie but she remained firm |in her determination to accompany me, In a week the children were dis | patched to Aunt Kate's, and Mollie and T paid avisit to the haunted house, In appearance, we found it all we could desire. The hall was spacious, the parlors high, large and elegant, furn ished +vith all a French woman The dining-room-—which was the parlor—was like the parlors and hall, rich in mirrors, The second floor was if possible more elegant than the parlory, since here had crept in together with the show and glitter, an air of cosey com fort. Especially was this true of the ittle hall room, which was upholstered in blue satin, At each point of inter section—where usually a hatton or tuft is placed a crystal ball, hich nuder the gaslight must be awish and quoer. At least so thought Mollie and T—going through for the first time. In the day time, with the streaming in at the windows, nothing conld be more charming The third floor was a counterpart of the second and the fourth was exactly like the thinc Iu short, the whole place was bright, pretty and clegant in the extren After we had made the rest of the honse, Mollic and T de scended to the basement. Hero plain ness reigned supreme; no frescoed ceiliv No mirrors or pictures on walls; ovidently Mrs. Madden took small intorest in this portion of her dwelling, Having convinced ourselves of the desirability of the premises, as far as pertained to external comforts, Mollie and I separated for the day; she to do a little necessary shopping, T to at- tend to busines: The day passed slowly. Some mis- givings on Mollic's account took pos- sion of me. At last I resolved to her two brothers, Charlic and Ed —two gay, devil may care young men ~to como and bear us company, When I arrived at the place whero we were to dine_and saw Mollie's face 1 was glad 1 had dome so, for she looked pale and anxions, though she insisted that she felt no fear, After dinner—-about7half past six we all started for the haunted house. The weather was warm, and as Mol- lie had sent bed linen and all neces- sary articles for our use, wo had noth- ing to do but await as patiently as we could the arrival of the ghosts. The rooms were close and musty, from their long disuse, and we were glad to open the parlor windows, But when the shadows began to fall T left Ed with Mollie, and taking Charlie went to light the gas, which I had taken precaution to have “turned on,” determined no trick should be played me in the dark, Nothing occurred to alarm us till we reached the second floor, just lighted one burner, and wasabout to light another, when T was startled by a sharp cry from Charlie. Turning wding with a face like marble, eyes starting from their sockets with horror and his lips drawn back and disclosing his set white teeth. Startled more by his look than by the fear or dread of the something that 1 knew he saw, I shouted to him— “‘Charlic! man?" He clutched my arm with one hand and pointed with the other towsrd the blue room. “For God’s sake Dick,” he said hoarsely, “‘look there.” 1 turned slowly around and looked where ho pointed. In the center of the little upholstered room, T saw wis tour of the Charlie! what is it, old tic. The eyes were closed, but one handmoved restlessly to and fro across the forchead. For an instant I was riveted to the spot, staring with all the fascination of terror at the unearthly figure re- flected so horribly in the garish light, the t I had recovered myself, Shaking off Charlie's detaining hand I sprang torward, hrandishing the gas- lighter, and aimed a savag To my horror the blow passed through the body, but the object never stirred, except to continue the wearied mo- tion of the hand. A moment more, then it disappeared as mysteriously as it had come. Calling up my native resolution I persuaded Charlic to continue the roads of the house with me, and pre- ceded him up stairs, Nothing more occurred worthy of mention till the time for retiring. Charlie and Ed had gone to their room —the second floor back—and Mollie and I were about to follow to ours, when I saw walking toward me, a man with a razor in his hand. I glanced at Mollie; her eyes were fixed on the samo object; neither of us spoke, but both watched with bated breath. Presently the spectre began to shave; suddenly he cut himself, and the blood streamed down; he threw the razor away angrily and walked to- ward us, passed over us, and disap- peared into the opposite wall, I was dumb with surprise, Mollie white and cold, but firm as a rock. *‘Dick,"” said she, ‘did you see that man?” “‘Yes, dear, 1 am sure T saw thing." ““Well, whom did it look like?" ‘“Very much like Ed,” T replied, as calmly as T could. 801 thought,” faltered Mollie, ““Can it be a warning! Let us send him awsy. Perhaps he will be mur- dered!” ‘*No, Mollie,” I auswered, “‘I think we can prevent anything of that kind taking place, though we may not be able to resist being frightened. Bear up, little woman! To-morrow we will give it up, if you say so. There isa mystery here which we may be ablo to discover. Don’t let us yield to the first thing which appears.” With the exception of Mollie's anxiety on Ed's account, 1 confess I think she was loss frightened than 1 She indignantly refused to give the matter up, or allow me to investigate without her. After waiting a half-hour, and noth- ing appearing, we retired— but not to vest, My nerves had been more strained than I knew, and I found it impossible to sleep. Each tany noise grew big in my waiting ears, and my eyes weve strained in the half light to 860 what there was not, some- told you the whole story, and advise you not to take your wife and children Day was breaking when I fell aslee and the sun was' tiree hours higfi 1 had| figure — thin, unsubstantial and gigan- | | | with you until you have given the|I awok THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: .\'A'I‘ITIH)A\QY.

Did you use the Basement tloor at all, and if so, did you see any spectre while there!” “Two evenings we sat m the front basernent, We could not keep a ser- vant in the house —except an old wo- man whowent homeat mght, Neither Murs. Johnston nor myself eareed much for going through tho halls after | nightfall; so we stayed down stairs till the old woman went home, but I am positive we never sawanything strange while there.” | “That is enough—thank you,’ 1 re- lied, ““Ask me no question —'' as he 1his mouth to spenk. “‘Giv me tie out, and if I do not dis- encliai our house, Tl agree the devil holds posscssion.” About roon 1 went up home, got Mollie, and once more went to the haunted house. On my way up town 1 stopped and ordered four cot beds, which T had placed—two in the front basement and two in the kitchen. Then I made another thorough search of the house. In the cellar I found a window which, though looking secure enough, could by a slight effort be dis- lodged. ‘The door which led into the kitchen from the cellar next secured my attention. Tt closed with a spring and looked very innocent; but an stant use's of my penknife disclosed the fact that the door, though minus | a knob or handle on the cellar side, lad a place for a lateh key, slyly hid by a piece of paper cunningly applied. “T think we have scotched the snake,” I announced to the hoys that evening. “‘But we will thorougly test the question before we announcé our- | selves victors,” Q We all slept in the basement that | night —the boys in the kitchen, Mol- | ie and T in the front room, All quict. »xt morning I ealled my force to and held a consultation, Said I: | ys and Mollie,here 18 the case— | s o pike-staff.

Mollie, you have guessed half the ghost rid- dle, and 1 , youand I must discover the rest, for the part we have not dis covered is far more dangerous to our comfort here than is the first half My theory is that this house is haunt ed by a person or persons whose ob- joct it is to render the property worthless in the market. Let us dar- ken the house, light the gas and periment.” No sooner said than done. Charlie and Ed went tothe second floor, standing in about the same position Charlie and T had been when we saw the spectre, T then directed Mollie to place herself where she would re- flected both in the pier glass and in the mirrors which lined the stairway. No sooner had she taken this position when Charlie shouted — “‘Here's our ghost, Dick, sure as fate! Rub your forehead, Mollie! By Jove! it is ufnu, sure enough?’ T heard him mutter, “‘All right!" I laughed. ‘““Now, Ed, for yours, Go into the back room, leave open the door, and stand where N i g abawig In a moment Mollie and I were highly edified by sceing our spirit of | the razor, with his thumb at his nose in a most unghost-like style, When we wero all gathered in the parlor onee more I said: “You see Mollie was right about the mirrors producing the figures which have frightened so many; but the brain that designed this means has not stopped here. Mr. Johnston assures me that he more than once saw the spirit of Davis' wife. We must discover how that was possible, T am convinced that the unfortunate lady will be muke to appear to us very soon-—perhaps to-night.

But the greatest discov- ory was the reflecting glasses in the ceiling, that were scarcely to be seon, but which aided much in producing the illusions which had driven twelyve tenants from the house, and reduced | it to one-half its value. | Mr. Johnston was as good os his word.

We set our faces for the pools of Solomon, halting a few momentsat tho tombstone of Rachacl by the roadside. The small structure was erowded with Jews, some of whom wore phylacter- ies, and all wore wailing, as they wail beside the remnant of the temple walls, One old woman was weoping and pressing her withered cheok agamst the tomb with as much dis- tress asif the far young wifo who breathed out her life thero forty cen- turies ago had been her own daughter. Wo found the enormous pools of Solo- mon (the largest of which meusures 580 feet in length) were about half filled with pure water. Wo rode be- side the aqueduct that leads from them, all the way to Bethle hem. Down among the ble and barren hills we saw the deep, fertile vale of Urtas, filled with gardens and fruit trees. It is culti- vated by the European colony planted | by Mr. Meshullam. For a half hour we feasted our eyes with the beauti ful Bethlohem perched on its lofty | hill and surrounded by olive orchards. many new edifices have been | erected for convents and other relig r- | rible than glowed in her wild black | | | only af .|Direct Line to ST.
