Jealous light thst shons ln his eyes. When
she attended the funeral for shs had
really learned to care for the patient little
sufferer she recalled It all. Tha slender
figure ln the casket wss robed ln a
straight, simple gown of whits and there
were white roses In ths wssted hands.
. Ths husbsnd seemed to read tha question
in the nurse's eyes and ha burst fort In
a perfect passion of grief.
"It stood between us for years that
stage business. She'd never died if she'd
left It alone, and I couldn't a-bear to aee
her In that finery. She loved It better nor
she did me and I hate It. There ain't no
use In living!"
Now It may be that the nuras was over
worked snd exhausted, - but she declares
thst on the very same night the white
robed figure walked beslds her In the ward
and looked Into her facs with accusing
ayes. Again and agsln ths vision appeared
nntll. In spite of her determination to
shsks off ths Idea, she went to the super
intendent, told the story and was trana
farrsd to another ward. And thla Is an
other ghost that walks for ths benefit of
timid "probs."
The Black Bottle.
It was aa Irish woman who gained the
soubriquet of "Black Biddy" by reason ot
her dread ot being put out of the world be
fore her time through the unkindly offices
of tbe "black bottle." The latter Is sup
posed by the lower classes to be kept in
stock at all charlty'hoapltals for ths sols
purpose of hastening the end of incurables
and na amount ot reasoning eaa convince
them that It la a myth.
Biddy was suffering from cancer and ln
splto of Intense agony never lost her ds
sire to live. She wstched with unceasing
vigilance every drop of medietas thst was
poursd out for hsr, alwaya suspicious that
It cams from ths dreaded black bottle.
She oven suspscted her food and finally
grew so weak that a malt toaie was or
dared. The dose waa measured Into a wine
gfass at a time behind the screen that sur
rounded . her cot. but unfortunately shs
happened to spy the nurse csrrylng tha
tonic back to tho medicine closet It waa
ln a dark-eolored bottle.
Instantly ths ward resounded with pro
fanityand Biddy was an expert ln thla
line. Straight up ln bed she sat, cursing
tha nurse and her black bottle until the
cords of her hands and neck stood out like
sinews of an athlete. Back from her grave
sbe promised to come to haunt her.
Before the nurse could quell tha disorder
which prevailed ' la the ward and soothe
the enraged Biddy, tho unusual exertion
did Its work. A hemorrhage set In and
Biddy died, tha victim of her own fury".
But nothing oould convince the other pa
tients thst the cause of her death was
natural. To this day nsweomsrs In tha
ward hear tha tale and watch for the com
ing of Biddy at midnight And nine out
of ten will Insist that they havs seen her
dogging tho steps of nurses and warning
them to beware ot tha black bottle.
Tae Shade Cease Back. -
At a local sanitarium for the Insane was
started a ghastly tale which aaw lta and
at a similar institution in Nsw Tork. At
tbe first named tbe rates ara sufficiently
high to assure the frieads of private pa
tients that tha Institution la admirably eon-
ducted. But a scandal suddenly arose when
It wss learned that a patient lying at
death's door had been fatally Injured by
an attendant Just before his death tha
patlent'a reason was restored and, raising
himself ln bed. he cursed the attendant
and vowed he would haunt him.
The nurse waa relieved from duty and
the matter quickly hushed up. On secur
ing a position in New Tork he waa placed
la charge of a ward containing six pa
tients, presumably mild and harmless.
Just on the stroks ot IS ons nlgbt some
he died within a few hours.
His pretty nurse waa completely de
moralised and had to be sent on a vaca
tion. Her agitation was attributed to at
faction for tho young man. for the entire
staff had marksd tha progress of the love
affair. But on her return she developed
horror of the Institution and handed ln
her resignation. Before finally leaving,
shs asksd for an Interview with Its head,
and confessed tbe causs of her patient's
death. He had begged ao pitifully for re
lief from tha liquid diet enforced by the
physicians that her common aense had
yielded to her desire to plesse him and
aha had surreptitiously given him a pleos
of strawberry shortcake.
In the Interests of ths hospital, the mat'
tor naturally waa never made public even
among the nurses. Nothing more waa heard
ot the girl until the Spanish war broke
out, when she was among the first to offer
her services. Later came word that
through her very devotion to her work
aha had contracted typhoid-malaria and
died. Today, at her old hospital post, ths
new nurses whisper of the young girl with
tho red cross on her arm who comes back
ln the stillness of tha night to bend over
a certain cot, whether It ba empty or oc
eunled. ao if begging forgiveness of Us

Brooklyn can boast ot a unique adjunct to

About a year ago the ambulance surgeon
was called upon to attend a man found near

With cheerful alacrity ho pronounced the
man In a state of alcohollo coma, and

trotted off to the hospital with him. On
