ZEB’S GHOST STORY. THE OLD HUNTER’S EXPERIENCE WITH A SO CALLED SPOOK. He Relate« a Tale of How He Pww- tehed a Critter Who Almost Frl«ht- •aed Hie Wife aid Bimeelf to Death Several Year« A«o. [Copyright, 1903, by C. B. Lewis] I T was a gusty October night on the Cumberland mountains as I I sat with Zeb White before his big kitchen fireplace, and now and then the wind walled among the pines tn a way to make one feel a bit creepy. We had roasted and eaten the chest- suts and lighted our pipes for a smoke when I asked the old man If it wasn't a good night outside for spooks. "It’s Jest the right sort of a night,” he replied, “but I ain’t skassly expect in' one to visit us. One did call on me one night, though, six or seven years _ —_ tp ago. I begged him for the story, and ns the doors and windows rattled and the Wind moaned In the big chimney he continued: "I got home one evenin’ to find my ole womau so skeered that she was Dimeoy the ghost showed’ up. He was gwine to look inter the winders, sumo I as befo’, but he changed his mind when he stepped inter that b'artrap. I used to be sunthln’ on the yell myself, but the way that ghost hooted beat my time all holler. The ole womau faint ed dead away, but I got outer bed and lit up and dressed myself and wasu’t In no great burry either. The hootin’ kept up, and arter about ten mlnits I went out to see what a ghost looked like. Thar was a bed sheet lyin’ on the alrth, and with one leg cotched in the trap was a man. I knowed him to once fur an onery critter named Piny Green, livin’ furder up the mounting. He wns sorter down on me kase I wouldn’t naybur with him, and he was playin’ ghost to spite me. When 1 axed him what he was doin’, he pur- tended his darter was sick and wunted camphor. I left him right thar and went in to my ole woman and nursed her up and told her what I had cotched in the trap; I never seen her so mad befo’ or since. Slic’d bin la y In’ it to the Lawd, and It was only that pesky Piny Green. 1 went out and cut somo switches, and then I held the candle while she licked the varmint till he couldn’t hoot another holler. Then I got him outer the trap and let him go, and he Jest limped off to No’th Caro- leeny and never cum back.” "And what did Mrs. Whits think about ghosts after that?” I asked. Before old Zeb could answer me Mrs. White appeared in the kitchen door and said: “What yo’ critters dun talkin' ’bout at 10 o’clock at night?

I sot in the open doah, waitin’ fur yo’, and a ghost walked out from behind the mewl shed and stood and looked at me. Zeb, the Lawd has sent a warnin’ to git ready!’ "I don't believe no sich talk,” said the old man, “but she was so sot that she had seen a ghost and was powerful skeered. We went to bed, and Tong about midnight she yelled out and woke me up. Then I seed the ghoc.t myself. He was lookin’ Inter the win der over thar, and fur two or three minits I couldn’t move a finger.” “Then it was a he ghost?” I asked. “Yes, I reckon It was. Yes, as nigh as I could make out it was a be ghost . It had a face like a man who’d sud denly met a b’ar and got dreadfully skeered. His eyes was rollin’ and bis Jaws workin’, and I felt chills go over me as I said to the ole woman: “ ‘ ’Pears to me that our time on this alrth is powerful short, but I’m gain' to git up and make a fight fur it with the ax!’ " ’Don’t do it, Zeb,’ sex she as she shakes from head to bed. ‘If yo' ma ke that ghost mad, we’re dun fur fur euah. Look at his eyes, will yo’fl " ‘I’m a-lookln’, but I ain’t gwine to lay yere and let no critter of a ghost make up facts at me even if be's ten feet high!* ” “When 1 got outer bed, the ghost vanished, but I didn't sleep no mo’ that night The ole woman was fur believin’ that death was at band, and most of the next day she was readin’ the Bible and singin* hymns. I didn't take It as no sign sent by the Lawd, but I was mightily puzzled to know jest what It was. That evenin’ 1 sot in the doah with my rifle till 10 o’clock, but nothin' showed up. Then we went to bed and rnebbe It was 2 o’clock in the mawnin’ when my ole woman booted sich a boot that every h’ar on my head riz on end. The ghost was lookin’ through that same winder ag*ln, and I was that upeot that I couldn’t stand up when 1 rolled outer bed. Befo’ I could git my rifle the thing was gone and tbe ole woman was in a fit When she cams out of it, she begins to sing and pray, and I reckon I was almost as big an idiot as she was. All I could fio was to stand and stare an0 wonder If tb<*se old mountings bad finally come to turnin’ out spooks and ghosts as well as b’ars and wildcats. Blmeby, when she could speak, she wns fur ruunln* away and leavin’ the bouse and everything behind, but I was gittin’ riled up. and I sex: “ ‘We don’t stir a foot till that ghost proves hisself a bigger man than I am. Yo’ kin buddle up on the bed, and I’U watch fur the critter the rest of the night out.’ “That’s what I sez. and while she whimpers and groans 1 sot down on a cheer and kept my eyes peeled and my finger on tbe trigger.” “And you believed it was a ghost?” I asked. “Can’t skassly say what I believed," he replied. “I had heard heaps of talk about spooks and speerits aud 1 reck oned one might hev blzness with me. When it cum daylight and the ole wo man was too upeot to git breakfast, 1 begun to git real mad. She wanted me to sing and pray with her, but I Jeet walked out and went over to Sam Smith’J and sez to him: “ ‘Sam, I’m a-wantln’ a drink of co * d juice outer that Jug of yo’rs, fur rnebbe I'm not long fur this world and I want to go out of it with the taste of good whisky in my throat.’ “ ‘Bin bevin’ dreams?' sez Sam as he brings out the Jug. “‘Wuss- heaps wuss I’ve seen a ghost.* “ ‘Shoo!

There is comfort in the knowledge so often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp- Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills every wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part of the urinary passage.
