Capturing A Ghost.
When I was a lad of seventeen I
was office-boy for Pinkerton's
Philadelphia agency and was just
wild, of course, to be sent out on a
case. Every time the captain jot
a Dew job I would blide up to him
and say: "Cap'n. you'd better let
me go out on that,1' and he would
answer with a quizzical grin, "not
this time, Harry. Wait till the
next case." Along in December of
that year the door opened and a
raw old countiytnao entered. He
proved to be Joe Bay lis, a Mont
gomery county justice of the peace,
and he wanted the captain t send
a man down with him to attend to
a ghost who was cutting didoes at
Fwrt Washington. The captain
told him he would send a man as
sooa as he had ne at his disposal.
The id fellow left auu I jumped
to my feet.
"Capta'n," I said, "send me on
that case."
The captain leaned back in his
chair and Uoed at me hard. "See
here, Harry," lie said, "suppose I
were to send you, what would you
do?"
I outlined an elaborate plan of
campaign against the ghost. He
let me hi-ibli and then said : "You'd
make a canlounded ass of yourself,
now, wouldn'. you? You'd make
us tne laugiiing stock of the town.
Now hteu: In the first place,
always bear this iu mind -there is
no such thing as a ghost. If 1
send you to Fort Washington, go
there with that idea in your hcuU.
There is no such a thing as a ghost.
If you see the ghost, and get neai
euough, jump for it. Don't be
at i aid, it won't hurt you, just jump
for it. It will turn out to be a
human being, no doubt of that.
Now, I'll let you go and try vcur
hand. Don't make a tool of your
self. It you see the ghost and
think you can't haudlc it, lie low
and follow it, and see who it is."
The captain gave me uouey and
away I weDt. 1 felt pretty brave,
tor it was bright daylighr then, but
there were times when I wished
myself well out of the thin.
I got to Fit Warhii g ibeut 3
o'clock, and inquired the way to
the haunted house from the station
agent. I found it on a hill about
halt a mile from the town, and
looked it over with interest and ip-prehc-usion.
It was an old white
Irame mansion standing in park
like grounds, with plenty of out
houses about it. borne country
men whom I met told me tbat the
ghost as in the habit of standing
on top o' the brod stone wall that
skirted the roadway. There was
au outnouse so situated that any
cue concealed in it could overlook
tiie whole stretch of wall trom end
i end, aud I made up my ni'nd
tlut this was the bet place for me
to get into before the ghosi ma-e
its appearance. Then 1 went back
to the hotel, took my supper and
chatted with tiie waiters aud a lew
loungers about the ghost. I learned
that it first appeired about three
weeks belore my arrival.
A man named McTanish, an
ignoraul tar in-hand, was the first
person to encounter it. He was
coming to town one night fioui the
grist mill with a suck of meal on
ins back and paused for a minute
in front of the old bouse to set the
Dag down ou a stump ad rest his
shoulder. He beard a noise behin
him, and, turning round, saw stand
ing on the wall a figure he after
ward said was th rteen feet higa at
lest. He did not stop to observe
the figure very carefully, though,
but ran as hard as he Kiew how
down the road. Next night a
party of men saw the ghost and
they also ran. Thev said the jlnt
made after them breathing fire and
brimstone and acting in a peculiar
ly weird and unholy manner.
After that the house was avoided
at night, but several strong parties of
men, muludiug the selectmen of the
town, saw the ghost from a respectful
distance. It approached them in
each case, and in each case they took
to their heels.
About dusk I stole down to the de
serted house, aud it was dark when I
got there. I slid along the wall to
the outhouse, crept cautiously in,
aud shut the door again. Hardly
had I shut the door when I knew
that there was some other in that
outhouse. I felt sure there was
somebody close by my elbow. I was
trembling like a leaf, but I managed
to pull a match from my pocket aud
strike it. 1 held it up. It showed
me a bij white muflled tigure not f.vo
teet away. Then the match went out.
There m, some people who laugti
at the idea of a man's hair siaudinz
o i end. They would say it was a
physical impossibility, but I know
bitter. I could feel my hair rise up
a id iny flesh begii to creep. But 1
had no time to think. I jumped. 1
had to jump. 1 shut my eyes and
grabbed for the ghost. I. was so
frightened 1 seemed to lose conscious
ness fur a moment, but grabbed some
thing aud held on. When the first
shock passed, I felt the ghost tugging
and pulliug to get away from me. It
was as badly frightened as I was, and
its hands were soft and warm.
"Dou't hurt me,' it said in a terri
fied voice. ... . ,
,1 had no .voice to reply with.' I
was choking, but I palled my captive
out on the lawn and lookea at it by
moonlight. The sheet that had been
inu filed about the figure fell to the
ground a pretty girl of fifteen was
disclosed. . I was in a cold perspira
tion aud shaking as if recovering
from a shock of electricity, but when
1 saw that I had caught real genu
ine flesh and blood girl and no ghost
1 began to feel Letter aud presently
began to talk.
"Who are you?" I asked.
"Jenny Bay lis."
'What? The daughter of Joe Bay
lis?" "Yes, sir."
"What are you doing tfiia for?"
The girl began to cry. She said
she had not meant any harm. She
and her sister had played ghost just
to have some fun. Her sister was
usually with her, but did not come
this night as she was too busy. She
had this night heard from her father
that a detective was coming to catch
the ghost, but thought he was not
due for a day or two and resolved to
make one last appearance and then
give up the performance till things
calmed down.
"Who are you?" she asked.
"I'm the detective," I said.
She looked me over in evident awe
and consternation, tinged with some
su. -prise ou account of my age.
"What are you going to do with
me?'
"I shall have to expose you."
The girl criei again aud begged to
be released aud allowed to go home,
but that did not suit me at ail. I
said she was my prisoner, and as such
I must deliver her up to the author
ities, and after a good deal of waiting
h suggested that I had better give
her up to her own father. I agreed
to that, and picking up her sheet, I
held her arm and took her with me
to her father's house, about a mile
distant.
"Dou't you know that you might
have been killed by some of those
people you frightened?" I asked.
"No, si f, I never thought of that.
Everybody who saw me ran away."
When we got to the farm-house,
where Jennie lived it was 9:30 o'clock
Everybody was in bed and the lights
were all out. but I boldly kuocked at
the dour. A wiudow optued aud a
man's voice said :
"Who's there?"
"The detective."
"You're rather late. Why didn't
you wait until tt-norrow? Better
come around and see me in the
morning.
"I want to see you now. I have
the ghost.
At this the window clo&ed with a
bang, aud 1 heard hurried steps on
the stairs. The dcor was opened aud
old Baylis stood in the doorway, with
a light. He looked at me in aston
ishment, and when he saw his daugh
ter aud the sheet I thought he was
goinj into convulsions.
' You, Jennie':" he asked at length.
"Yes, father," sid Jcnuie, very
humlily.
O a Baylis sighed and said "Come
iu."
He sent for his neighbors immedi
ately. I dou't know what was said
at their mectinL', tor I was not ad
mitted to it, but old Hay lis gave me
a letter to the captain and packed
nut oil on the midnight train. Next
morniiiK 1 reached the office early aud
found ail the men present, waiting
lor l lie captain to aetail tlieiu. 1 lie
men griiiiiel it me. They all knew
where I had b'jen and anticipated a
wonderful tale of disaster aud defeat
which they were ready to laugh at.
I ti.oUL'ht I sent you to roit
Washington, Harry?" said the cap
tain.
"Yes, sir."
"Made an ass of yourself,I sup
pose?" " I here's a letter,"
While the captain read the letter
the meu guyed me
"This is a very nice letter, Harry,"
said the captain. "Boys, the young
ster captured the ghost."
"i-rid he?" said the men.
"Yes, sir, he did. The boy is a
credit to us," and then the captaiu
read the letter of the selectmen
aloud. I told the story, and you can
be sure I did not refrain from giving
iryself plenty of credit. My tale was
very highly colored. When it was
oi. luded Jim Langdon drawled out:
Uiarry, tell the honest truth.
Was you frightened when the match
went out?"
"No, of course not!" said I. But 1
was two years later, when 1 asked
the ghost to marry me, and thought
she was going to say no. However,
