As they sat down to dinner Mrs. Allison remarked that everybody had arrived except Stanley, who would be there in time for the party next evening If More than one besides possible. Madge wondered whether she re-- , ferred to Stanley Smith or Stanley Parker, but owing to the rumored break with Stanley Smith, nobody ventured to ask. After dinner the next evening the big ballroom on the third floor, which had been mysteriously closed during the day, was opened and there was revealed all the paraphernalia for many kinds of games and fortune telling. There was one man lacking to make the couples come out even, and just as Mrs. Smith was protesting that she much preferrod to remain out so that she could take a flashlight of the dancers there was a general exclamation of surprise as a man in traveling clothes appeared In the doorway and looked a bit uncertainly toward his hostess. Mrs. Allisons surprise was so great that It was hard to tell whether it was pleasant or otherwise, but she quickly regained her composure and, with a side glance at her sister, who was busy arranging a she moved toward the door, exclaiming In an unnecessarily loud voice, "Why, Stanley Smith! You're better lato than never. Mrs. Smith turned at the name, and even In the dim light her face looked ashen pale. As her husband was being greeted on all sides she looked about as If seeking some means of escape before be reached her. Then he walked straight to her with a look of such penitent pleading in his tired eyes and with both hands extended, so expressive of his deslro to take her again to his heart, that she almost fell into his arms. Those who stood near caught the sound of a sob in her voice as she said: "Much better late than never. I couldn't have spared you much longer. At a few minutes before midnight all the guests were hurriod off to bo sheeted and masked for a midnight procession backward downstairs. The now radiantly happy Smiths managed this part of the program. One by one the ghostlike female figures silently passed with their lighted candles backward down the right-hanflight of the old colonial stairway, whose two divergent flights met on a broad landing and merged Into a wider stairway leading to the hall below. One by one the ghostlike malo figures passed On the down the flight fcroad landing each pair of ghosts met and passed silently down the broad steps and disappeared In the of the drawing room, from which, later, came many gay yells of recognition. Madge was the last girl to go down. The strong-armeghost who met her guided her quickly from the foot of the stairway out under the heavy hangings which concealed the back commit- tee formed.

Up the narrow back stairway he silently urged her, then up the stairway leading to the now deserted ballroom on the third floor. The stillness of the dimly lighted ballroom was Intensified by the occasional sounds of laughter from far below. Her strong companion grasped Madge's hands firmly but very tenderly, and as he bent over end looked Into her eyce he spoke to her In a voice that sounded familiar and at the same time unlike any voice she had ever heard. "Little ghost. said the voice, "I've traveled far and fast to find you, and because Ive been kept away from you so long I'm fielflsh enough to steal you away from all the other ghosts. Do , you care? "Do I care? repeated Madge, who was strangely thrilled by the deep voice and atrangely uncertain wheth er she had heard It before. The big ghost released her hands, and with one of hie own strong hands pulled the pillow slip over her head, at the same time pulling a larger one from his own head, and Madge looked blushlngly up Into the smiling face of Stanley Parker. He smoothed hla rumpled back hair and she smoothed her wavy, auburn hair. Ills brown eyes laughed down Into her hazel eyes. Then his two strong hands took both of her slender hands, and In a voice more soft, more deep, more altogether wonderful than (he had ever heard, he said, "Madge, do you care-- tor me? And this time Madge answorod promptly, though almost Inaudlbly: "Yes, Stanley. Oh, how I care! Long before he had finished telling her how he came by the last train and a dilapidated jitney In order to be with her at this party, or before she had finished telling him she had hoped that he would miraculously appear at the last minute, the sound of laughing voices on the etalrway reached them. In a voice of friendly warning, Mrs. Smith called, "Oh, we're coming to rout the ghoata from the ballroom by singing aAuld Lang Syne.' " (Chp) right, 1IA hr the MoCluie News (paper Syndicate.)
