"Yo, I do," I declared. "I saw soroe-- 1 thing in the corner, something white, with a blanket over it, and and I thought it was the old woman." Then tho jrjrl told uie how she had put a white case on the bolster she had got out for her bed, und how she had taken a couple of blankets and come up stairs with them. But seeing that I had fallen into a light sleep and hearing m moan, she had been afraid of waking :ue then, and so had placed the things in the corner, intending to come up by and by. After a while, when the girl had gone, I called: "Mariar "Yes, my deary," she answered, com-ing qnickly to my side. "Maria," I asked, solemnly, '4s there any old woman in a blanket?" "No, no, my deary," cried Maria, very sorry for her thoughtlessness. "I only said it to make you mind, and it was very wicked of mo." Robbie had fallen asleep, but the rest of us were tokening eagerly to Aunt Jane. New York World. care of mo and mended my cloihes, and then there was tho man who worked the farm, us papa's business in the village kept 1dm away from home all day. Now, Maria was very good and kind to mo, und loved mo very dearly, even though I was a wild little thing, always running away and getting lost, and giv- - ing her a deal of trouble, I dare say. I suppose it was becanso I was so hard tn nmnnge and' w very naughty that she ' first told me tjo story of tho old woman iu the blanket One night, after I had got into bed, and sho had tacked mo away and was going out with tho light sho stopped to J" "I'm afraid if yon ain't' any better to-morrow than you've boon today, Miss Jane, and if yon don't stop runnin' into tho woods, tho old woman in the blanket will como after you." (I had been very, very bad that day, and I suppose poor j Maria was ut her wits' end to make mo behave.) "What old woman in u blauketr I in-quired, fitting up in bed. "Never mind," Maria went on uiysto- - Tioualy, "I toll you there's an old woman in a blanket who comes after all naughty i jrirlsi, VijK'eially them that runs awny into tho woods when they's told not to." Then Maria went away with tho can-dle and I lay alone iu tho dark with my mind full of tho old woman in tho blan-- I kut. I was very good for a little while, and I suppose Maria thought sho had done a ' fine thing in inuking up tho story, as it seemed to have so good un effect upon my conduct. Indeed I thought a great deal about tho old woman in tho blan-- j k. t. l'laying about in tho fields in tho day-time, I would sometimes forget all ubout her, but whenever I was quiet, and at iriyht. I fell to imagining all sorts of dreadful things, ubout how she looked und what sho would say and where she would take mo. Muria soon found that whenever I was nnruly und disobodieut ull she had to do was to remind me of tho terrible old woman in tho blanket, so by and by I began to fool qui to sure that at some time or other I would certainly bo pnn--j ished by her, and sometimes I was dread-- : fully frightened ut night and used to "Gall Lost? Oh, the poor little thingr cried tho girl, and then I was put in a chair by tho kitchen fire, and my wet shoes and stockings were pulled off and so was my dripping gown, and I was wrapped in a big. warm shawl and given a cup of hot milk to drink. They woro very kindand gentle tome, rongh peoplo though they were, and neither papa nor I ever forgot thrir good-ness to a poor little stranger. When I conld speak withont shivering I told them my name and where I lived. "I shouldn't have come into the woods," I ended. "I've been told not to, but I was running after the rabbit to see where he livod, and I ran on and on and forgot." "Why, pop," exclaimed the girl, "it's Mr. IIjirvey'8 little girl." "Oh, yes," said the man, "I know squire Harvey." "Please, sir," I asked, "are you the hunter?" "Ayo, I s'poso so," answered the man, "leastways, I hunt most of the time." "Then," I said, beginning to cry again, "then I'm far from home, way at the other sido of the woods." I had heard of the hunter's cabin. "Ob," I weut on, "what will they say at home? They will be so frightened! What shall I do?" Tho man went to the window and looked out. "Tho storm is ragin'," he said, and in-deed we could hear it. "I tell ye, little gal, you'll have to wai t till morni uV No one could ever git through them wotxls I felt dreadfully, careless as I was. I knew how thoy would suffer at home, and yet there was no help for it. I cried and sobbed, and after a while tho girl carried me up tho little rickety pair of stairs to her own tiny room. There were only two rooms up stairs the girl's where I was taken, and her father's. It was a poor little room, but quite clean, and tho bed was very, very lllUTOW. 'There," said thfl kind hearted girl, tucking np my little body under the warm quilt. "I reckon I'll have to sleep on tho floor; I've "it some bedclothes down stairs put .ay, so IU git 'era out. Now, I'll just leave you the candle, und I'll be up in an hour or two." Then she went away, and left me alone cover my head up with the bedclothes, junt as Itohbie did a while ago. j Now, you must know, for I think Tve told you, I was always expressly forbid-den to go into the woods. I didn't see very much of papa, as he was away all day, bnt I remember be often said to me: "Jetinie, you may piny ahont the fields and over in tho meadows as much as yon like, but you must not go into the woods j alone." Von see, thero woro anakee there, and besides, tho woods wore very dense (it was almost a forest), and there wero so many paths that even a grown person might easily get lost there. How it wa j that I ever forgot my old woman in the ' blanket so entirely I don't remember, but anyway, one day I ran after a poor little rabbit that was hune and that couldn't go very fast, and as I wasn't thinking of anything but the littlo limping creature, whose home I was so anxious to soe, I suddenly found myself in tho midst of the forbidden woods. 1 must have been running for a long time, for 1 found myself iu a place that I had not known before, and I had made so many turns along the paths that I looked around bewildered, liecause I couldn't tell in what direction home lay. "Oh, dear me!" I cried to myself, very much frightened. "I didn't mean to b.' disobedient. I didn't mean to come into j tho woods at all." Indeed, I had not meant to come. I was seldom naughty deliberately, and most of the mischief I got into was the result of thoughtlessness and careless-- ! ness. But anyway here I was in tho woods, mid I must get out of them. I looked and looked, and finally started out brave-ly to the left, as the way looked a little familiar. But though I walked on and mi, and sometimes ran a little, it all grew more and more strange about me, and I filially stopped iu dismay. "I must be going the wrong way," I almost cried aloud, "and oh!" (I held my breath in terror) "what is that?' A long, low rumble, and then the trees began to moan and shake their heavy branches, as if they, too, were trembling iu fear. Plaohl Plasht A groat drop fell upon my head. Suddenly there wa.s a dreadful crash. In a momont every-thing grew dark, and then the thunder and the lightning and the furious rain ull seemed to come together, and I was alouo, all alone, lost in the woods, and night was coming on! Then I cried ont a.s loud arf I could in my terror. "Oh, what a bad, naughty girl I have ueeuP I sobbed. Aud then I thought of tho old woman in the blanket, und my tears dried in very fear, and I looked about t rembling, i had made it up in my miud judtwhut she wonld look like. She would bo shriveled up end very old and ull bent over, and the great blanket wonld cover her up from her bead to her feet, and oh! this would be such a dread- - fnl place to moot her! I almost believed that I could see her coming along through the trees. I threw myself on the ground and covered my faco with my apron, aud oh! what was that? I felt a touch on my shoulder. I was almost dead with fright, when I heard a grutl but kindly voice bay: "Wall, Kakesiilive! If it ain't a littlo gal! Look up. sissy! What ails ye!" My heart gave a great bonnd ot joy. and looking up I saw a big, bearded face bending over me. Tho man had a dog with him and a gun. I couldn't speak. ; Another great crack of thunder came. I conld only cling to him and cry. "Lost, I s'pose?" he asked, taking me up in his strong arms. " s, sir!" I finally stammered. "Utrph!" exclaimed my deliverer. "Wall. I reckon I'd better takfl ye to the cabin and dry ye off, and then we'll see where ye belong." The dog bounded ahead, and the big, kind faced man carried me easily on ona r.na, and, uhonideriug his gun, made grout, bold strides through tho woods. He inui.t have known them well, for a black night was coming on and the rain was blinding. Wo had gone only a lit-tle way wheu a bright and ruddy light appeared. Here wo wero at the "cabin." The dixr opened into a cheerful kitchen, and at the threshold stood a young g'.rl holding a lantern. "Here ye are, pop!" she cried in wel-come. "Look out, Jack!" to the dog, who, covered with mnd, made a leap at her. "Why. pop! what on earth have you , got there?" "Gal," was the only reply of the big in the strange little room. I looked about mo as I lay. It all seemed so odd and my head felt so queer, and now and then a cold shiver would run up and down my body. I couldn't sleep; my eyes wero wide open. There was an old rag carpet on the floor, and over in tho corner a fnnny old fashioned chest of drawers and a poor littlo table on which the candle stood, and one worn ont chair. Bang! bang! went the shutters! Oh. how tho wind howled, and then would come the sudden, fearful crashes of thunder that seemed directly above my bed! I trembled so that my teeth chattered. I should have been very warm, for the coverings on the bed were thick aud plenty, but still I felt very, very cold and shiverod dreadfully. It was silent except for the noine of the raging storm without. I was frightened np thero, ill alone, In that strange place. The candle flickered and made ugly shadows on tho wall, and, oh! I wished that tho girl would come np stairs. I thought of papa and Maria, and longed for the day to come that they might know I was safe and sotrnd. And presently I knew nothing, for a few momenta, it seemed to me. Bang! bang! went the shutters again. I sat up, wide awake, with a dreadful terror in my heart. In the moment that I had 6lept I bad dreamed of the old woman i n the blanket. I was not cold now; I seemed to be bnming up, and I tried to call out. I wanted some one to come to me; I was so afraid, what with the storm and my dream and the strange, lonely place. My voice seemed very faint and weak, so I crawled from the bed, and it was hard to move. The candle was still flickering on the table, and cast but a dim light into the little passageway. I reached the stairs, but all seemed si-lent below. Nothing was to lie heard but tho rumbling of the thunder and nothing was to bo seen, but what wu that? There, there in the corner! Something white, bent over, and, yea, a blanket, a great yellow blanket, cover- - ing it up! I had left tho door ajar and a faint ray from the candlelight rested upon the old woman! The old woman in the blanket! I only remember creaming ont loud, aa Robbie screamed a little while ago. One bright morning I opened my eyes, and was surprised to find myself in my own bed, and in my own pretty room at home. I felt too tired to epeak, and just closed my eyes and tried to remember what fcad happened. Presently I heard voices. "Poor little dear!" Maria was saying. "I'm so glad the fever has gone. Master has been so worried. This morning he went to the village for the first timo since Miss Jane was brought home with the fever." "Oh, yes," replied another voice, a voice I had heard in my dream, and in-deed it was tho voice of the hunter's daughter. "She's all right now, I reckon." "Tell me," said Maria, me again, just how it came on." "Well, you see," auswered the girl, "I had put her iu bed safely, aud then I went down and got pop's tea. It was stonniu dreadful. After a while I fetched out the pillows and blanket that I was ngoin" to make my bed of on the floor, aud tot-- 'em np stairs, and stood them in the passageway, and then I went down again to finish a bit of mend-ing, while pup read the paicr. All on a sudden we heard a dreadful scream, and when we ran up the stairs we found the poor little gal laying iu the passageway moanin' and tearin' in tho fever. Then, next morning, pop came over and told you, and the little thing was fetched home." "And very good and kind you have been, my dear, and we are very grate-ful," said Maria. . Then it nil came back to me, my dream, my waking and stealing out to the head of the stairway, and my vision of the terrible old woman in the blanket standing in the corner. I astonished them and frightened them both very much by suddenly sitting bolt upright in bed. "What did you say?" I eagerly asked the girl. "What did yon say about pnt-- ' ting the bedclothes up iu the passage- - j way?" ',.. ) AUNTIES GHOST STORY. It was a cold nutnmn night. The wind waa hnwing without, but inside tho j.'reat, old f;ioliioned kitchen where vo children eat, gathered around the crackling fire, everything was cozy and Aunt Jana had given u.i a basket of nuts, cud wo wero having groat fun entering them. Wo had cdij'o tospeml afwwdnya with Aunt Jane, who lived in a fine old farm-house seine miles away from the village, liow, aunt ie hud no children of her own, and so ho was always glad when we nieces and nephsw.i enruo liko a young army to take possession of the old house, aa she v;as very kind to us and told ns many famous stories. Sut, as 1 Miid, the wind was having a blustering time of it without, and we wore Liughing merrily within, end crack-ing our unta, when all of a sudden we heard u pitveing scream. Of course we all screamed too, dropped onr nuts, and $;;t quite still in fright. .Now, Auntie Jane, who i.t very sensible, and not at all timid, only looked np from her sew-ing and listened. In another minute there canto another scream, even louder than the first. '"Oh. auntie!" wo cried, in a frightened chorus, "it's Robbie," Robbie, who was only 4 years old, and not big enough to sit up with us, had been put to bed up stairs half an hour before. "Don't lie such s'lly littlo geesel" said auntie, calmly folding her work. "I'll go up and seo what is the matter with the child." So auntie put down her basket, took a Limp in her hand and left the room, while we all followed and stood huddled together at the foot of tho btairs. Presently auntie apeared with tremb-ling Robbie in her anus, and told us all to go back into the kitchen. Auntie took her place by the fire, and we all sat down again. "Now, Robbie," F:;id Annt Jane, quietly, "sit up aud tell , them what was tho matter, and why you screamed and frightened everybody, und what you saw." But .Master Robbie didn't want to sit up; ho kicked his little " fat legs about and ciung close to auntie, hiding his f;tce in her gown. "Come (Jong, sir," said auntie firmly, and then she eat Reb'oio up ia her lap, but he put his linger in his mouth and blinked at tho flro, and finally began to Lowi dismally. "There, there." auntie more gen-tly und petting him. "Bo a brave little man. jNow tell c what did you think you saw?" Ali tils paa.se, then from out the folds cf auntie's gowu cama a ninotbered "DUt!" froia Robbie. "So," siid auntio, "yon thought yon saw a ghost?" 'rough! I saw a dlmst," waa the mcf-lL'- d echo. " Very well," said auntie. "Now what did yoa really see when I ca:no in with tho lamp at;d mada you tako your head out from uudor tho blanket? Pet- - ticoat?" odked auntio, bending down. . "Ic.'tiu-ua- t h:;:n;iug in torncr." "Ah," a.ci.tie, "you thought yon saw a ghost, and what you realiy did see was a while petticoat Lauding up iu the corner. Is that it? "E, I'se been a bad bey today, and Her.ny told n:e when I was a bad boy I would kuo a dhost 'landing up in toruer, and I fought petti toat was a uhost." Auntie looked very sternly at Henry. "Henry," sho s.iid, "have you really been putting such nonsense into this eilly little boy's head?" "Oh, jui;t for fun," said Henry, though ho looked a littlo ashamed. "It's a tine way to keep him good." "Let me tell you. Henry, that a great deal of harm aud a great deal of suffer-ing have come from just this thought-less habit of frightening little cliildren in order to keep them good. "And so I am going toti ll you a storv cf myself; a story about something that happened to me when I was a little girl, aud of all tho harm that came of my old nurse's telling mo about tho old woman wrapped iu a blanket who would coma to carry me away if ever I was naughty and disobedient. And then auntie, sitting with Robbie on Iter lap, told 113 ber story: When I was a little girl liko Hattie papa and I verj living alone here. When I say ulor.e I mean that my poor mamma had died, and we were the only ones of the family left on the farm.

The belief engendered by the shamans often had very serious consequences to innocent persona If a shaman told a patient tliat he was afflicted by a disease which a certain man or woman had charmed into him, the consequonces to the supposed offender were often seri-ous enough, and finch beliefs lod to man deaths. This is particularly the case in Africa, where the same- belief occurs, and thou-sands are yearly sacrificed, because thojr are supposed to have afflicted otherB with disease spirits, or to bo the anthori of misfortunes of one sort or another. The power too "hoodoo," that is, be-witch, is believed in by a very large number of tho negroes of thw country -- In fact, such beliefs are common to the ignorant everywhere, bo they red, whit or black. We should not be too ready to dexpiHe the Indian who holds them, since faith in charms, fortune telling and similar nonsense survives today among civilized people who ought to know better, and many are thpy who thrive by tho prac-tice of such arts. Credulity does not die with sorcery and barbarism, but lives on, and will continue to live until men grow much wiser than thoy have yet grown. H. W. Henshaw in Youth' Comnanion. Cheaper nines Are Bought. A jeweler tells me that tho fashion of buying expensive diamond rings by young men jnst engaged is gradually dying out. "Understand mo," ho said, "the girls still get their engagement rings, and they ore pretty, too; but they don't average over $70 or $80 in price. Time was when the haughty bride to be wonld have tumod up her dainty nose at any ring that cost less than $300, but now, although there is just as much ro-mance and just the same passion for dia-monds in her composition, the New York girl rightly reasons that she is living in a practical age, and that a cheaper ring and a more expensively furnished flat will give her the most satisfaction. I know a man with an income of $10,000 and the satisfaction of being engaged to a millionaire's daughter. How much do you think her engagement ring cost him? Jast $100, and the bride went into ecsta-sies ever it." New York Star. Not Very Objectionable. Little Boy Mamma, I had the night-mare las' night, awful. Mamma That's because you had so much cake and preserves. Little Boy (hastily) Nightmares don't really hurt, yon know; you only think tbey is goin' to, name as playin' ghost. I like nightmares. They is real fun. New York Weekly. An instance is on record of a pigeon flying twenty-thie- o miles in eleven min-nte- e, and another flew from Rouen to Ghent, 150 miles, in nn hour and a half. cram fMMla ty to Socialism. Speaking of ministers reminds me ot a little story I heard recently. Hugh O. Pentecost, who started ont as a Baptist preacher, broke away from his church, ran for mayor of Newark, N. J., and is now editor of Twentieth Century. Ho married a very proininont society girl of Hartford, Conn., about ten years ago. Their wedding waa a very swell affair. Afterward Mr. Pentecost accepted a pul-pit in Brooklyn at a salary of flO.OOC a year. Everything seemed bright for the young couple. Tho wifo was handsome and popular, the preacher was eloquent, earnest and successful. A few nights ago some old f riends of Mrs. Pentecost, who had known her in tho days when sho shone ns a scciety belle, went to hear her husband address a crowd of wnrkinginen on the east side. Imagine their astonishment when Mrs. Pentecost came out on the stage and, at-tired in a most striking garb, sang to tho assemblage a revolutionary song. She hat; lieeti a meet loyal wife. She has sup. ported her husband in every step ho ha.1 taken, and has been of great service to him in his rather peculiar career. Coiv sidering her former life as a society woman, her present career as a singer of socialistic songs is picturesque, No York Cor. Kansas City Journal. Mr. Wright' Hed Quilt Record.
