A BERKSHIRE uHObT STORY
IMOT1IY DOLE, or "Old Tim
Dole,” nx
"as cal'*1*1 b>' bis
associates, was a great and pow­
erful blacksmith lu a qu et little village
among tlie Berkshire Hills.
lltu was au honest, bard working,
kind liearteil man. ami a gn at favorite
with all the country people for mile»
around. In spite of his being morbidly
Kil« rstitio(is and a firm believer in spir­
it rapping, haunted houses and ghosts.
Tim's dearest friend,' farmer John
Davis, or "Honest John,” as he was
everywhere known, was always chiding
Timothy about his belief, or. as John
would put it. Ills "foolishness.”
Still, w hitiever they had au hour to
»pare, they were sure to get together,
ami the talk always turned to "ghosts”
ami “spirit rapping».”
All through the winter months they
were much together. It was Tim’s de­
light to close his shop early and drive
to his friend's bouse and spend the long
wintry evening- '«y the fire In the farm­
house kitchen, expounding Ills favorite
views on spiritualism.
Although John Davis professed to lie
an unbeliever In spiritualism, and was
known as "Honest John,” be could
vouch for more bloodcurdling ghost
stories and thrilling adventures than
any other man about the country; ami
Tim was an earnest listener
One of their most horrible tales, hor­
rible for a “true story,” was about a
haunted house, of course, haunted by
a headless ghost. Tin* old house still
stood in the neighborhood, but no living
living could «x-ciipy it, for whenever the
housewife attempted to prepare the
morning meal the;«* always appeared
beside the kitchen stove a man without
a bead, but with a scarred and bloody
neck. It was most horrible! There was
only one cause for stub a ghost—mur­
der.
Years ago. the story ran, a terrible
crime had been committed there; a m st
brutal murder It was, too. A simple,
honest peddler, who merely sought a
night's repose beneath that humble
roof, had been beheaded with an ax
while awaiting his breakfast. Then the
fiend who did th«* awful deed escaped
by stealing a horse from the baru be­
hind the house.
The years had come and gone, and
the murderer had not been found, and
to this very day no one liad yet been
able to live in that bouse, or even use
the barn. The horses stabled iu that
barn, no matter how securely fastemxl.
would become untied during the night
by some mysterious hand, aud scamper
wildly away, even when strong ropes or
heavy Iron chains were used.
John Davis had never fastened a
horse then* liimself, but his father, who
bad been a very religious and Just man,
had often tried to do so, in years gone
by. without avail.
Even John's own mother, wlio had
b«*«n a noble Christian woman, had
actually seen th«* lieadl«*ss man sitting
beside th«* fire In that ol«l haunted
bouse upon two different occasions, and
although John said lie did not believe
the tale himself, he always added, when
telling it—
“And father's won! was as good ns
Bibl«* truth,” nnd “Everybody knew
that mother could not lie!"
Ami Tim bellevetl it all, and wouhl
hardly have ventured home at night if
he had not had his horse with him to
keep him company.
Now It happened that as these two obi
men would often meet ami tell their
tales, they sometimes had a listener, a
young man w ho lov«*«l humor, ami occa­
sionally dr«q>pe«l in to hear their stories.
Ilis name was George Cowee. He was
a slender youth with much learning ami
n fiiiement. He was a nephew of Dea­
con Cowee. a wealthy farmer living a
short distance from the Davis place.

had no more faith in "Tim's views"
than John himself, but he Ilke«l Tint,

very amusing.
The night before Christmas he h.ip-

about “the dead coming back" and
"communicating with their friends by
rapping on tin pans," and as usual John
