that the ghost aomellmcn went Inlo

An acquaintance of ours wna on

The channel la narrow there and,
being a good swUnmer. ahe de
cided to swim across lo the oUier
shore. Blio rolled up her dress and
put It Inside of her hat which site
wore on her head in crossing. As
alio came out of the water and
clambered up Uie low, sleep bank,
aha aaw an Irish aheepherder. He
turned nnd hla startled gate met
hers. Perhaps her brief attire em
barrassed him lur he turned away,
and, sensing his presumed em
barrassment, ahe lifted her hat
and dropped her dress down over
her shoulders. When he looked
again to assure himself that his
eyea had not deceived him, that
