The young Indian was puzzied about it. “I'he second time the ghost came it longer and the poor ‘boy’ shook iike a leaf, Whon the ghost pointed in the direction of the young Tudian it was too much for him. With a fearful yell the young buck jumped up, tried to get his ghost shirt off and started for the door. OF colirse that created a panic and broke up the show.
