The howdah was well stocked with toad ,

A few mlnules later they emerged tram a

which reared their stony heads 2,000 feet In

Tim GIOSTS IN I MY TOWER ,
) "runk H. Stockton.
CoprlGhtcd 16j by the Author ,
At one corner at my house Is u tall , wIde
tower , rIsing high above lie ( trees which sitr
round it , In one ot the upper rooms at this ,
tower 1 work and think. and here , In the
evenhfg ane early part of the night I used
to b quite alone except for the ghosts.
Uetore I bad come , to thIs house I knew
lint ( thin tower wus' haunted , but I did nol
mind that As the ( .lg1osls had never don
any one any barn'r did not believe the , I
' II
would do me any i' rn , and I thought ]
should really b glad' at their company ,
which must certainly ) be different tram the
company of ordlnary.pellle. flo . wlm' I bad
arranged an upper room this tower so that ,
I might pleasantly work and think therein , I
epectee the ghosts to come to me , and
should have been vlumueb disappointed I I ,
they bad nol. , I ) i
1 did not exactly . understand these glo.ts ,
at whIch I hall hed nothing definite , except :
cept that they hunt f.he tower . and I did
not know 10 what 'wallhe would manltet
themselves to mi It'W41 ' not long hiowevet
after I bad begun tOJoJuPY the rom betore
the ghosts came to me.l , One evening , a Itlo
before Christmas . V'Utbr everybody In the
house but myself bad Igone to bed , and 11
was quiet outside 'an4 Inside , 1 heard a
knock , and was on tlu Pint ot saying ! , "come
lnl" when the knock was repeated . and I
found that I did not come tram the door ,
but troni.tho wall . I smiled ,
;
' You canrt come in that way , " 1 thought ,
"unless there , nib secret doors In theme walls ,
and even then you must open them for your-
self. . "
1 went on with my writing , but I soon
looked up again , for I thought 1 heard a
chair gently pIshed back against the wail In
a corner behInd me . and almost immediately
t heard f noise as If sOle Ito boy had
dropped a nUmber or marbles or perhaps
pennies , but there was no chair In the corner -
nor at whIch I looled , and there ( were no
Pennies nor marbles on the floor ,
NIh after night ; I heard 1) ' ghosls-ror 1
had \ me lo consider them AI mice , which 1
hall bought wkhi the ( bouse-amil although I
could not see them there were so many
ways In which they let me Imol they CX
Isle(1 that 1 felt for them a sort ot corn-
panionshilp Whim In the ( Quiet hours ot com-I
early nIght 1 heard their gentle knocks I !
know that were-Ihe clreumstnnces ,1terenl '
they would , hare been clall to como In , and I
did noL feel lonely
Now and then J tt , - .tmghit I henrll the voIces
at the ghosts melhnes onlsille , under m-
window antI somelh1en behind me In A dls-
I I tant corer of the ( room. Their tones were
, low anti IllalnUve , and t coull noL distinguish
words or phrases , hut It often seemed lS If
hey t " ore really spealdng to me , amid Lhat I
ought to try to ullersinne and answer them ,
nut I soon discovered that these voice-like
sounds were caused by the vagrant breezes
goIng up and down the ( tall chimney of the
Lower , making aeolan tones , not of tuuslc
but at vague and Indistnct speech.
The winter Passed , and at last there came
I ( line when I saw one of the ghosts. I
was In the dusk of the evening , early In
spI'lng , and just outside of an open window ,
t hat IL Plearcl to me. I was as plaIn to
m y sighltasjfit hal been painted In delicate
half tones against a somber background of
tender foliage and evening sk )
I was clad from head to toot In sorest
g ray , such lS the phantoms or the night are
s ahl'to love , and over its shoulder und down
Is i upright form were thrown the fleecy cown !
of u mnnte so mistily gray that I seemee'to
blend Into Ihe _ dusky figures It partly
" IJarl )
shrouded , The"i : ment I saw It 1 knew It
saw me. 'Out' ' ' . r fs _ cloudy grayness there
shone two : ce ; . black , cear : anti sparkling ,
nxed f uponmo .wlth questoning IntenslLy. I
sat , gazingivith checked breath at this ghost
of the tow r : ,
Suddenly i leaned torward-Just a lle :
t get a better view of the apparllonJ when ,
1110 l a bursting bubble , I was gone , amid
there was nothtihg before mo hut the back-
'gr une'of , tOlago and evenIng sky.
FrequenU after thut I saw this ghost , or
It I mayia.o been one of the others , for It was
dIfcult , with these gray visions , with which .
one must not spelt or toward whIch I was
hazardous to move even a hand , to become so
well acquainted that I should lnow one from
nnother. Dut there they were : not only did
I hear them ; not only nIght after nIght ,
did my ears assure me of their existence
but In the shadows or the trees , as the sum-
mer came on , and on the lonelier stretches
at the la\vn.I saw them , anti I knew that In
good . r I' 1Y home 'wal haunted. '
Late Q : afternoon , whie walking In my
grounds , Laawbefore . me' ' one ot the specters ,
ot 1) ' - pjr.Jt-nioved " slowly over the lawn
scarle''J11n to touch the tips of the ,
grass , ana.wltTi.I more sound than a cloud ,
would make vhen settling on a hill top.
Suddenly ' It turned its brIght , watchful eyes I
Upon inc. dad Uteri wlLh a start that seemed
to send n thrill ' even through the gray mantle I
manle
whIch ! ghly touchc its shoulders , It rose I
betorIY } very eyes until I was nearly as I
high as .tho lop of my towel' !
WIngs ' It hall not , nor did It feat In the ) I
air : It ran Ile a streak of gray electricity ,
along the lightning rod , only , Insteae of fas- ] .
Ing down I , ; as electricity would pass tram L
the sll- , It ran upward. I did not see this I
swiftly mo.hig slllrlt reach the topmost Point
ot the rod , for at u point where the thick :
'
wird approached the eaves , I vanished.
Dy this time I had come to the conclu-
slon not altogether pleasant to my mind , ,
that m ghosts were taking advantage of my :
torbearanco'lh. ; . . their mystic knocks and I
sIgnals In thc night 'and their visits In lhe
daylight , amid that there must bo too many ;
of them In my tower. 1 must _ admit that L
Lhey annoyed me very little , and I was not L
In the ( least afraid of them , but there were
others who care into my tower and who
slept In some at its rooms , and to the minds
of visitors and timorous maids there was
something uncanny and terrifying In these
mldnlght.k'oclls 11\1 scralches.
So , having concluded tram what I had sci n
list ( day that It was the very uppermost part
at the tower which had become the resort at r
these gray sprites , and from which they :
came to disturb our quiet anti repose , I deter
mined to interfere with their passage from
the earth 10 my tower top I. like an dec -
trio current , they used tIme lghtning roe as a I
means at transit , I lade a plan which would :
compel them lo use IL In the convenLlonal I
and proper 10) " . Tire rOIl was Illaced there
that lightning might come down It , not thaI
It might go up , SQ I set myself to put the
roc In a condition that would permIt lhe
ghosts lo descend as the lghtning did . buL
which would prevenL them tram going up ,
Accordingly I thoroughihy greased the rod
for a considerable distance above the ( ground I ,
"Now , " said I La myself , "yoU may al Ii
.cmo down one after the other , whenever
you like , You will descend very quickly when ,
yeti reach the greased Part of the rod , bul :
you will not go up It again , You are gOllng
very hold , and If you conlnue your mad
revels In my tower you will trlghlen people
and give my hOWe a bad miamne You lay become -
come drrads I you like and shut yourselves
up In the . hearts at the tail and solemn oalcm I
There you may haunt the uejays ] and the
woodpeckers , but they will noL tel tales at
ghostly visits , which may Icep my friend ,
away , " and maku my servants give le warnIng I-
After that there were no more gray fishes
up my lightning rod , , though how many came
down I .1 know not , ane the Intamura ! revels
In the tower ceased. But noL for long. The :
ghosts cano back again ; perhaps not 80 man )
DS before . but still enough or them to let me ,
know list they were Intro ,
Uow they aacended to their lofty haunls I
could not tell , nor did I try to find ouL. I se-
cepted lho ( situation , I could nut contend wit ii
