In the first place, the aun came up gloriously, in a sky as clear as a bell, and all day long it shone down upon happy San Francisco. Happy was she in the thought that it was her lot to be cradled in the lap of a land where such weather is a midwinter possibility, and proud was she that she had to place before the thousands of people who visited her fair, on (hat day a program of such incontrovortable ex cellence and of such unimpeachable at tractiveness. Tlie opening exercises took place on a grand stand especially erected for this occasion, with ascating capacity of 7,000. The seats were all taken and tens ot thousands of visitors gathered on the greensward in front of the speakers' platform, The total number of people who passed through the turnstiles was 72,2'kl. Nearly ten thousand of those were in the procession which marched in triumph tp the exposition grounds. There were more bands in this street pageant than were ever before seen in San Francisco. Halt a dozen of these musical organizations, occupying a place on tho grand stand, Joined in unison in the patriotic features of the musical program. Wnen the opening overtures had been played, James D. Phelan, the president of the day, made his address, introduc ing at its close the Rt. Rev. Bishop Nichols, who offered up the invocation. The assemblage stood with uncovered heads in the warm midwinter snn, with the green hills towering above them, and not harsh element in the air blew across their brows. People from the East took off their top coats, on this 27th of January, and made of them cushions for their seats. As the bishop called upon the Almighty to make glad the heart of everyone present in this land of sunshine, fruit and flowers, each visitor from the snowbound districts undoubt edly said "Amen." The scene was one that no stranger could-fail to be impressed with, and so it was also when the governor of Cali fornia. Hon. H. H. Markhara, came to extol the managers of the exposition for the wonderful things they had accom plished within the five short months which had passed since the original con ception of the idea. On every hand were material evidences of the beauty and power of this great Empire State of the Pacific, and when Director General M. H. de Yonng, to whose fertile brain and untiring cnefjry California owes this exposition when he arose to deliver his address a mighty shout went np and honor was there accorded to whom was due. Mr. de Young bore his honor's modestly. Best of all, his speech was short, and when Mrs. de Young was askcdtoi press Jhe button wliich sliould set the machinery in motion, she did so gracefully, and this was all there was to the formal ceremonies of the opening the great Midwinter Fair. ' The act of starting the machinery was signalized by the shriek of every whistle in the exposition grounds, by the blare and fanfare of artillery within full sight of the assembled multitudes. . On the same spot, when evening fell, there was a grand display of fireworks, but in the interim the recreation ground was de serted, for everybody made a grand rush as soon as the opening exercises were over to visit the main buildings of the exposition and to patronize the con cessional features. It mattered not that some of the exhibits were incomplete as yet, for there was enough to keep all eyes and all thoughts busy during what was left of that short afternoon, and everything, finished or unfinished, was novel and unique to everohody. It was in the concessions, however, that the holiday spirit of the crowd was made more prominently manifest. The '40 Mining camp immediately established itself as one of the most popular institu tions in the exposition. Seven thousand people paid their way into this conces sion on opening day. The Firth wheel carried nearly six thousand, the Scenio railway was loaded down all day and far into the uisht: the Wild Animal Arena, the Ostrich Farm, the Indian Encampments, the Hawaiian Village, the Vienna Prater, Heidelberg Castle, the Aquarium, the Sea Lions, the Colo rado Gold Mine, and the scores of other concessions did a big business, and everybody seemed satisfied with the pat ronage they received. All this established beyond a doubt the popularity of the Midwinter Exposi tion. Since the opening day there has been an average daily attendance of 8,000 people, or as many as paid admis sion so the great World's Columbian Exposition during the first few days after the official opening. Visitors are loud in their praise of what they have seen and are freely predicting that the exposition will be an immense success. The exposition management begin to feel as if they could take time for a good night's rost now and again, for their undertaking has now been fairly launched, and they are willing to trust its drawing powers to prove sufficient f ot its satisfactory continuance for the en entire term of six months. The great glory of a California winter is just now at its height. ' People riding in the open Btreet cars read of the buz zards and snow blockades that harass their eastern friends, and once more the word of welcome passes along every line of eastern railroad; " Come to California, see the great Midwinter Fair, and get warm."

My TJncta Baylo was a man whon ev ery one loved and welcomed as a visitor. " His home was not as ours was, in the little city of Mirepoix, but in a grand chateau, with crimson roof and shutters, in the environs of Foix. jA lawyer by profession and pressed with business, he never let a fortnight pass without com ing to see our mother, and there ware many of ns to greet him, for Uncle Bayle was the eldest of 13 children, all of them, with one or two exceptions, living with their own or their children's children in the neighborhood of the family homo, my sister and myself in the homestead itself, with our infirm but pious anil courageous mother, whom, as I told you awhile ago, Uncle Bayle came to see, "Uncle," said Dorothy one evening, the prettiest as well as the bravest of all our cousins, "tell ns a ghost story, please. We have heard all the others," "One cold autumn evening," said he, "some 40 years ago, I was returning from Toulouse, where I had been called on business. I was traveling fast and had already passed Auterive, where some friends had nrged me to stay the night, but I was in a hurry to roach Saverdun, throe leagues farther on, and continued my route. Just in front of the monastery of Bolbonne, in the forest of Secourien, one of those furious tempests which spring up in the heart of the mountains without a moment's warning fell upon me. In less than no time it was as black as midnight and the road invisible. There was nothing for it but to turn about and ask for shelter at Bolhonne. In a little while my horse stopped, and I saw that we were before the door of an inn. I entered. The com pany was numerous and composed of merchants, Spanish students and the sportsmen of the . neighborhood, sur prised like myself by the storm. " 'Truly,' said one of the hunters, 'the weather's devilish a regular witches' sabbat.' " 'Pardon me,' cried a voice in a dis tant corner, 'witches and goblins hold sabbats on moonlight nights and not in storms." "We all turned to see who had spoken and saw that it was a Spanish mer chant, None of ns seemed disposed at first to answer a remark made with such solemn gravity. In fact, we were as si lent as owls until suddenly my neighbor on the right, a young man of frank and pleasing appearance, burst into a fit of laughter. " 'Really,' said he, indicating the mer chant who had spoken last, 'it seems as if the gentleman understood the habits of goblins. Perhaps they've told you,' turning to him scornfully, 'how much they dislike to be wet and muddy 1' "The Spaniard gave him a terrible look. " 'You speak too lightly, young man,' said he, 'far too lightly ot .things you know nothing about.' " 'And you would have me believe that ghosts exist? " 'Perhaps,' said the other, 'if you are brave enough to look and see. Here's a ' purse;' ' he continued, rising and ap proacjmig the table, 'containing 80 gold en quadruples. I wager them all that in an hour's time I call before you the face of any one of your friends, even if he has been dead a dozen years, whom you may name to me. Moreover, when you have recognized him, he shall ap proach, embrace and salute you with a kiss. Do you agree? And as he asked the question the manner of the man was bo impressive and stern that we invol untarily trembled. My neighbor only remained unmoved. " 'And you can do all that? he cned. " 'Yes,' answered the Spaniard, 'and willingly part with my 80 quadruples beside, if I do not, provided you will lose a similar amount if I hold to my promise and force you to believe.' The oiler was at once accepted, "To guard against trickery and decep tion, we decided to use a little paviliou situated in the outer garden, perfectly isolated and bare of everything but a chair and a table. After assuring our selves that there were no other issues than a door and a window, the student entered and, we left him to his fate, not, however, without placing besido him all the necessary writing materials and ex tinguishing the lights. "When everything was ready and wo had arranged ourselves in acircle around the door, the Spaniard, who had waited in absolute silence till all was done, be gan to sing in a low, sweet voice, a verse, as near as I can remember, running thus: With a cl-aakiog aoiao tko ooffiu hursts la the tomb, deep, dark and profound. And the phautom white pharos liis toot Ou the soil of the cold, damp gi-ouadi "Then, elevating his voice, he called to the student shut up within the pavil ion: " 'You have told me,' said he, 'that you desire to have a visit from the spirit of your friend, Francis Vialat, drowned three years ago while crossing the ferry of Pensagnoles, Now, what do you see? " 'I see nothing,' replied the student! 'but stay! a white light begins to lift itself yonder by the window, formless, shifting and like a floating cloud' "After a moment's Bilence the Span iard begins to sing again, his voice deeper and gloomier than before: V'Alld the phautoin while, whom the rushing raiug Had faded to a tint so fair, Wiped Willi his shroud and his skeleton hand The drops from his fa and hair," " 'What do you see now,' he cries, 'you who wish to sound the mysteries of the tombj what do you see now? " 'Nothing,' replies the voice of the stu dent, calm and cool as ever, " 'And you are not afraid? cries the Spaniard, his manner more scornful and Insulting still, " 'I am not afraid,' comes back the clear, brave voice of the prisoner within, while we, standing on the outside and in sight of the infernal sorcerer's incanta tions, scarcely dare to look at eacn other, so great isonr dismay and surprise. '&na the phantom said,' ones the Igpaaiai'dfiirionslyi , , . , And the phantom said, coming oat from the tomb, "In order thathomnylcnoff mo in truth, Iwtllgotomyfrli'r.d rr(UH!,5miil.G!?nufI sweet, As in the days of our Grot eaiiy youthi' "And fitrain. ceaw'iu his soul', ho nuts! his terrible- question: " 'w nat do yon sea now? the veil it is Francis Frauds Viatal ho approaches tho table ho writes ho hsa written his name' Bnt before ha onn ftnv mnrn t.ti Rnan. lard resumes, his voice wildandhowliugl And the phantom said to this mookin;' man, Thy harid to my hand, thy heart to my heart, " 'Are von afrftirl nnvuf A ra wnn of,.ai.1 now?' he reneats. almost, with frnu A shuddering cry, dying away in a moan, 10 toe sbuueiit s oniy answer.

''We never saw him in fact.'we never saw either of them again." "And yet, Undo Bayle," said Dor othy breathlessly, "you can say there are -no such things as ghosts or goblins" - "More positively than ever," he re plied. "Neither the Spanish merchant nor the Toulouse student were ever seen again, as I tell you. No more were the 80 beautiful quadruples which I and the other guests of the inn had put together to make up the sum of the Standard's ' wager.
