Although undoubtedly I had been very 111, I aia by no means certain of my fact at about this time; so, wbother I was the victim of a little too much Indulgence In the flowing bowl, or of a lively Imagination, or of a hj puotlo trance, I really caDnot say. Anyway, one morning I seemed to be con scious that I was talking with a demon who sat l.y my bedside. He wss a very plwuant sort of fellow and not bad look ing, but somehow I knew be wss a demon. "Would you like to bear what they are saying about you and go to your own f u norulf" he asked pleasantly. "People generally do attend thatoere mocy personally, "I suggested. "Then after a moment's reflootion I asked, "Am I dead, then?" "Of course. Did you not know Jtf" "If 1 did, It must have escaped my memory," I replied Imperturbably. "Well, you are doad, but I will give you the remarkable power of going among your family In the spirit and be Invisible to them." "That's very kind of you, but I've hoard you peoplo soldum perform service for nothing. What recompense do you re qulrof" "Nona. The penalty you will pay will be sufficient reward to me. " " What penultyl" . "Tosco yourself as others see you and hear what they say of you. " My friend then dematerlallsed himself into thla air, and the next moment I was gliding noiselessly down the stulrs. I should explain to you that I am an or phan, without parents, but a member of a largo family sisters, brothers, eouslus and all the rest of 11 I happen to have more money than any of the others and have hitherto been much sought after on account of many excellent personal quali ties. I un not married. Wall, the fact Is I am of a rather retiring disposition, and not having yet como across a girl who would help me out with the preliminaries 1 had not found courage to take the fatal plunge. Sty eldest sister, l'rlscllla, hod therefore been keeping bouse for ma I easily passed through the closed parlor door without opening It, which was very convenient, and found myself, nnsoan by thorn. In tho midst of relutlrosfrom differ ent parts of the country. Thoy were wait ing breakfast for some Important person who had not yot mado Ills appoarunce. I was foolish enough to think It might be myself and sat down to my customary seat at tho foot of the tablo; but, of coarse, no one saw me. - I bad forgotten for the mo ment that I was a domatorlallzod spirit Boon, however, the door opened, and the Important individual entered tho apart ment It was my eldest brother, Tom. Now I began to utxlerstaml He was my executor and residuary legatee. He repre sented me, Uie Into Crawley Slowquloker, Ksq., doceusod; hence all the court and def erence paid to him. This was absurd, you know, for a bigger fool never lived. Well, be mado stralgltt for my chair and sut down whoro I was sitting. This was stepping into my shoes with a vengeance aotually usurping the place occupied by my disembndlod spirit Tom was a bulky follow, and I felt the affront Besides, wishing better to watoh the proceedings, I got up quickly and sut behind my chair. Two things especially attracted my atten tion and somewhat shocked me. In tlio first place, Priscilla's presiding suemod much moro lavish than under my roglme, and, In tho second, I waa struck by the happluoss and gayety of the whole com pany. This was calculated to take my fatuity down a few pogs, for I had fondly imagined that my doath would plungo my entire family in the uttermost depths of despair. But It hadn't "Iuoverllko golnglnto black," Prlscllla was saying In nor evon tones to Aunt Owonj -'It's so vory nnluoky." "Idun't mind the change at all," said AuutUwon. "The color Just suits me, you know. But I really can't toll what orders to give, not knowing how I am provided for. " "That's as good as asking," said Tom, with one of his horrible laughs which I used to consider so hoarry. "A nod's as good as a wink to a blind horse. I suppose the regular thing Is to read the will after thefunorai. But a It's all among oursulves It docs not matter, and I'll road It to all directly aftor breakfast" Then thoy started talking about tholr lato relation, Crawley SlowqulckeB, and the things I heurd about myself positively as tonished mo. They wore all sadly deficient In the bump of reverence, and I found that not onoof them entertained that respect and affection for mo of whloh I bad Imagined they woro all possessed. Now I f ully real ized the truth of my friend the demon's words. It was a dreadful penalty to pay, a sad mortification to hear what thoy said of """d to sco myself as othars saw ma " Well, of- oourso," my cousin Vernon said, responding to some remark In a vir tuously deprecatory tone. "Of courso do mortuls nil nlnl bonum, and all that sort of thing, you know, but I can't help say ing that Crawley was always moan horri bly mean!" Confound the follow I And Oils was a man to whom I had left u00, forgiving him all the money ho owed mo, whluu woe as b,x1 as doubling tho legacy. 'lKo n! ineun," ,Tom answered, ami I blessed him for tboeo words; but he spoiled It iJl by adding, "A bit careful, you know. " "Ah, I should lliluk sot" savs rrlscllln. ou will hardly believe It, but It's a fact no ncvor ullowed me money enough to koep liouso dwen tJy." Of course thU v. as nut truo, ns you may luiaglno. S'.io was always wanting more money, and yet Ik uover succeeded in pur chasing anything remrlcublo. And this i I'.tiiiuuiitnoiH nnni.v . I was my sinter Pris, whom I had m... thought so affectionate, so entirely to me. Oh, it was too horrlblsl oua Those throe were my principal legato If I bad only known sooner I But how thut possible u'"owwos I knew what I would do. I iMli up my mind and having no body 1 WT mind now-I would go at once to lloltor's and have a codicil drawn un whu. there was yet time. But stay, there wm no time. It was too lata. I had qulte gotten that I was only poor ghost a dL materialized spirit and that old' idiot BharpltUw was so wedded to routlne3 old fashioned custom that he would c. tolnly regard a posthumous testomsnt as Informal, and as 1 was Invisible ha would treat my signature as null and decidedly Told. When next I turned toward my amlsbla and disinterested family circle. I J? that the breakfast things had been is. moved, and Tom rjlowqnlcker sat In tbs armohulr, with my will spread out befon him. "There's some one missing," hesau looking around him magisterially, "vxl leltr ' " "Only my. sister Minnie," Vernoa s marked casually. "I went to her this morning, but site's so upsot about his dsn. that she feels quite Ul and could notoona down to breakfast " 'Don'tbeabeurd,"sald Prlscllla, " Why she never gave hLm so much as a ohii word." Then aottovooe to herfarother "And that's what has upsot her, I eipect She is afraid she has spollod liurcasacaj of legacy." Oh, that spitoful Prlscllla! If I only alter my will I But It was too 1st, for here was my executor standing, or rather sitting, In my place. At least there was one thing I could da I would lad my friend tho demon and see if arrange, menu could not be mado for haunting them. .
