Modern science has thrown so strong a light on those illusions that they ought to be rec ognised everywhere for just what they are nothing more than the" result of mental disorder, what do you say .Robinson; do yon believe in ghosts, as our friend, the doctor, seems toT The speaker contemptuously threw away the tump of his cigar as if it were the of fender he was berating instead of the doctor, who had just been spinning an after dinner yarn of a supernatural kind. "Do 1 believe in ghosts? Well, really, Brown, 1 don't know. But your speak ing of the sciences reminds me i once had a remarkable experience with a ghost," Robinson reached for the bot tle, tilled his glass slowly and held it np to the light with an air of reminiscent meditation. After a short pause be went on, in answer to our inquiring looks: "It was five years ago, just after 1 had opened my office here and taken young Johnson into partnership. One hot July morning 1 received a telegram asking me to go at once to B , a little town out on Long Island, to draw np a will for a man who had been one of our best clients, Johnson was out of town, so had to attend to the matter myself. "A glance at the time table showed me that 1 should have to stay in B several hours, and just as 1 was leaving it occurred to me that it might be worth while to take my camera along Johu eon and I were both 'Kodak bends' in those days as my business might not detain me long, and 1 should probably have an hour or two to spare. 1 had barely time to catch my train, so 1 has tily picked up the camera from my desk and rushed off. Just as 1 expected, 1 soon finished the will and started out to get some views of the sleepy old town. But B is a rather commonplace vil lage, and I saw nothing 1 thought worth snapping my camera at till 1 had reached the outskirts of the town, where 1 found a picturesque old mansion that caught my fancy. "It was a quaint, rumbling old house, gabled roofed and overgrown with vines It seemed to be deserted in fact, almost a ruin. It stood at some distance back from the road, and as there appeared to be no one living there 1 went into its garden, which was au unrestrained tan gle of weeds aud tall grass, to get a nearer view of the building. 1 was just about to take a picture of the porch when an old man appeared in the door way. He was very feeble, but a rather fine looking old boy. 1 at once began to apologize for trespassing on his grounds, but he stopped me and told me to take as many pictures as 1 wished. He turned out to be the man in charge of the place. and well murked. llow on earth Uui she get there!1 I had certainly never seen her before, and 1 was absolutely certain that there had been no girl on the stairway when 1 took the picture. "But there the stranger was standing., as if she had paused a moment on her way down stairs, with one arm slightly raised and leaning forward a trifle, as if looking at some one in the hall below. It was utterly inexplicable to me. I hail never seen that face, and the gardener had told me that the house was not in habited. I do not believe that then could have been such a girl in B . yet there she was. As far as one could judge from so small a photograph, it was a face of rare beauty. 1 was com pletely mystiSed. "As luck would have it 1 was obliged to go to B again the next day, and 1 took tny negative with me, promising myself to look for the mysterious beauty of the stairway, for the face had a strange fascination for me, and 1 deter mined to find the girl whose pictnre 1 had so unaccountably taken, if I could possibly do so. "1 hurried through my business and rushed off to Beck my friend the gar ilener. I found him and at once showed Mm my puzzling negative. The moment he saw it he dropped into a seat on the bench beside him as if he bad been shot, trembling like a frightened animal and with a look of terror in hiB eyes. In a moment or so he found his breath and gasped: " 'Good (Jod, it's Miss Annief "You may imagine my surprise. The old man looked at me and at the picture with a scared look, as if be suspected me of some unholy relation with the devil. "But after awhile he calmed down a little, and a good stiff drink from a flask 1 happened to have in my pocket seemed to brace him up and persuade him that 1 was not an imp in disguise, and after awhile 1 succeeded in getting the follow ing explanation from him. which 1 will condense for you, not trying to repro duce his words and his bcotch accent: "During the war of the rebellion Mr. S lived in this house with his wife and an only daughter. Miss Annie. beautiful girl, who was about twenty years old at the time of which I am speaking. She was the idol of the fam ily and loved by all who kuew ber. She was to have been married to John R , a line young fellow who lived near by, bnt when the call for volunteers was made ber lover went off to the war. She was almost overcome with anxiety for him, for her heart had gone with him. One day Boon after one of the early bat tles 1 forget which one my friend the gardener came up from the town with a telegram. He met Miss Annie coming down the stairway and gave her the message. She stopped on the landing, opened the envelope and read the tele gram. "She stood perfectly still for an in stant as if she could not realize it and then the gardener was just in time to Bave her from falling, as she fainted. The telegram announced the death of Lieutenant John R , killed on the battlefield. Miss Annie never recovered from the shock, and she died insane in a few mouths. Her mother soon followed her, aud Mr. S left the town, a louely, brokenhearted man, and never has returned. The place has never been rented because it is said that the un fortunate girl's spirit haunts the house. and especially the Btairway, where she heard the news of her lover s death. I had photographed the ghost. "Now that I knew the story of the girl that picture to! a stronger hold on me than before ani the mystery tf'as only intensified. 1 could' not get riT. of that face, it haunted me more surely than the poor girl's ghost ever haunted the stairway, and 1 could not shake off the fascination. In short, 1 had fallen in love with a ghost, and 1 envied that Lieutenant John R . "It was a horribly uncanny feeling, but calling myself an ass did not help me to forget the face. And then the puzzle of It all, the problems it suggest ed. Could it be that the camera was able to open a new world to us? Was its unernug vision clear enough to A HKKAL1I OP THE IN PANT VKAH.

Be was very willing to Bhow ine around and invited me to look at the inside ot the house, whicb 1 was glad to do. The first glimpse of the interior pleased me to much that I decided to make a view of it for my first picture. "The door opened on a broad hall run ning clear through the house; there was a large winding stairway at the back with a landing place half way np, upon whicb there opened a beautiful oval window, overgrown with ivy. The light was good and 1 snapped my camera at this fine old stairway and window. 1 took a number of views of the house and grounds and had barely time left to catcb my train back to the city. "For some time after my return 1 was very busy, as Johnson was away and all the work fell on me, so it was at least a month before 1 got the negatives of my pictures of the old house. But I remem bered all the Incidents well, and was much pleased to find my views as good as they were, bnt you may imagine my astonishment when 1 looked at the nega tive of my first picture and saw in it the figure of a beautiful yotiug girl standing on the landing place of the stairway.
