A NlGHT EDITOR’S *STORV.
My story is a ghost story and one of the
genuine article I conclude, from putting t0-
gcther my pmconcelvcd ideas of ghosts, and
the particular experience I lm‘vc to relate
on this occasion. it was an experience so
strange, so terrible, and so fraught with
poignant grief, that for u long time after
the occurrence I shrank. from all mention of
it- but 1ime, the great ullevialor, enables me
now Ito sit down and give a calm account of
m‘nightm editor the am Kahlionr
lug Sentinel. My associate in the local dc.
pnrtmeul was Ward Smith, 11 young fellow
of keen perceptions, ready wit and active
ability. He had clear eyes, a conecnirutlve
brow, :I rather palt- complexion, :I long flur-
ing. ict black moustache and an open wide-
uwnke look that was u perfect index to his
clmmctcr. Nothing escaped his observa—
tion. Ill.- wus lndcfntigubly industrious.
and picked out all the news, delving out
items from the most apparently barren
- ground. He was the best local we ever
had, nnd'our department, soon after his ad-
vent, outstripped all contemporaries in the
variety and spice of our news.
Ward had one fault, however. The so-
ciIIl bowl possessed powerful attraction for
him, and it was too often evident that he
had imbibed more flecly than a sound judg-
ment would dictate. To be sure he was
seldom untitled for business—not more than
once in three, or four months—bathe was
pointing a course which, if persisted in.
must, I endeavored to persuade him, risult
in his downfall. I talked to him often about
it, but, although he listened pleasantly, my
words seemed to be uselessly expended. He
was the same free and cosy, lighthearted,
convivial fellow; and hard-working and
valuable assistant.
«as would frequently choose a topic of
popular interest end write thereon a series
of descriptive articles but free gossipy vein,
just alarm to catch the pufiic‘nttention.
This was in addition to‘his negulsr work as
city‘editor. The amount of labor be ac- ’
complished, and the em with which he
performed it, frequently filled me with as-
tonishment. _ ,
Wéll‘do I remember whbnhe chose for
his meme “Dregs and Scum.” He pene—
trated the vilest haunts of the lowest closes,
end diaibcd dieirfbobits: 1n n wonderful
vivid manner Their vices, their misfor-
tunes, the bright spots in their lives, to-

He had ~been slowly moving toward the
door, and flow rushed out suddenly, ex-
claiming with a laugh:
“ All right, I guess not."
After he was gone, I moved uneasily in
my chair for some moments, and at last,
with an cll'ort, bent myself to the work be-
fore me. Presently Bailey came in on an
errand.
“ Where’s Sutfln l" he said.
“ Don’t ask," I replied.
“Oh i" he exclaimed with a scowl. “ Be
gone long f"
“ Till half-past. one." I said.
“ Well, I hope he’ll get back." And with
the last word the door swung shut, as Bailey
retired.
I echoed an mum to his wish We all
liked Ward and felt an interest in him. He
was young, so bright, and capable of so
much.
My limit] was not clenr that night. I could
not think straight, nor bring my energy to
bear on the task before me. 80 I took my
mecrschaum down from the shelf, scraped
it out carefully, went to a private drawer,
and filled the pipe with genuine Turkish to~
bacon that I kept on hand for mu: occmlons
like the present one. For it was not often
that my brain bullied nm, and when it did, a
pipe full of this tobacco would invariably
set things going swimmingly. I suspect it
contained u liberal admixture of those fasci-
nating, treacherous drugs for which the east
is famous, for its cil'cct was always inde-
scribably exhilarating. It gave me new en-
ergy, new life and a quick'fnr-sighled pene-
tration that could grapple with any problem
within the scope of my learning or informa-
lion.
Perhaps I look a more llbcml allowance
than usual that time. I do not lmow that I
did; but I never felt so keen or so fascinated
by any work as on (but particular‘night. I
worked on steadily and untlriugly,conlclous
task before me.
I dorm 1mm nowroug 1 ma mfi
when a very strange incident occurred. It
was the beginning of the strangest experi-
ence of my life—an experience whosepar-
allcl i hope and expect never to pass
through strain.
My tasks were completed, with the excep-
tion of one or two trifles, and Planned back
in my chair ~and yawned. Happening to
look around at that particular moment—I
behold the door open noiselessly, Ind Ward
Suttln enter. It was about two o’clock, or
after.
“\‘tht is the matter, Ward 2‘" I cried;
for there was a bright red wound on his
forehead, and every “ignored“ seemed
to have faded from bk face. '

proceeded direct to his desk nudes: down.
He walked with his usual quickmp, nod

“ Don’t have any fooling on such a subject.

“Jokingi No, no! I wish I was! But,

and endeavored to drag him towzird the
door: “ We must find his body.”

I do not blame him. He dicengnged him-
