T wanted a few nights to
t'htisinias, a festival for
which the »mall market town
uf Torel ester was making ex
tensive preparations.
The narrow
streets, which had Leon thronged with
people, were now almost dew rted. the
cheap Jack from London, with the
remnant of breath left hint after his
evening's exertions, was making fee
ble attempts to blow out his naphtha
lamp, and the last shops open were
rapidly closing for the night.
In tile comfortable coffee room of
the old Boar's Head half a dozen
guests, principally commercial travel
ers, sat talking by the light of the tire.
The talk had drifted from trade to
politics, from politics to religion and
so by easy stages to the sui>ernatunil.
Those ghost stories, never known to
fail before, had fallen flat; there was
too much noise outside, too much light
within. The fourth story was told by
nn old hand with more success. The
streets were quieter, and lie had turn

of the tire ns it shone on tlie glasses
and danced with shadows on the walls
the story proved so enthralling that

silently from the room.

said one of the men. sipping his hot
■whisky. “Of course, it's an old idea
that spirits like to get into the com

Western with a ghost and hadn't the

through the ventilator.”
“That'll do, nirst.” said another man.
“It's not a subject for jesting." said
a little old gentleman who had been an
attentive listener. “I've never seen an
apparition myself, but I know people
who have, and I consider that they
form a very interesting link between
us and the after life. There’s a ghost
story connected with this house, you
know.”
“Never heard of it." said another
speaker, ‘and I've been here some
years now."
“It dates back a long time now.”
said the old gentleman. ’ You've beard

"Well, I’ve just heard odds and ends,

■“My father was a native of this
town,” oaid the old gentleman, “and
knew the story well. He was a truth
ful man and a steady churchgoer, but
I've heard him declare that once in his
life he saw the apparition of Jerry
Bundler in this house.”
“And who was this Bundler?" In
qulred a voice.
“A London thief, pickpocket, high
wayman, anything he could turn his
dishonest hand to.” replied the old
gentleman, “and he was run to earth
