"I wouldn't humor the boy that way, If I were you, sister," said Buddy's mother. "Oh, boys have their nervous whims, Just like us older ones," replied toler ant and Indulgent Aunt Cordelia. The good soul was right, and Buddy made a confidant of her as they went up the stairs. "Aunt Cordelia, they'd all tease me but you, and laugh at me, but I saw a ghost out of the window In the yard." "Oh, Buddy !" rallied his aunt. "Yea, sir, twlct I" asserted Buddy In an awesome way. "Nonsense, Buddy ! What particular shape did this wandering spirit of yours take?" "He was an Esquimaux," asserted Buddy, solemnly. "He had a big bear skin robe all over him. First be was dodging behind the Ice hut we built yesterday. Next time I saw him at the window. He had his face close to the pane and he was looking In. He was looking straight at you, oh, sure he was 1" "Dear roe !" fluttered Aunt Cordelia, with little shiver. She had no belief In ghosts, but Buddy's grewsomeness : hnd begun to affect her. "It was prob ably some of your playmates dressed up In the old buffalo robe your father : loaned you," she said. "Come, Buddy, pop Into bed now," and she placed the lamp at the head of the stairs so that It shed Its rays Into Buddy's room. 1 Then Miss Cordelia went down the .hall and entered an old storeroom and ! went to the window- and looked out at the snowhouse, and swept the garden i space with her glance. 1 "What foolish notions children get" she murmured. "Oh, coming In here reminds me I must get another hank of yarn " added this Indefatiga ble knitter. She fumbled around on the shelf where she supposed certain box con taining the yarn was located, and could not find It In the dark. Going to the door she took match out of a .box tacked to Its Inside frame, kept always full. Aunt Cordelia flared the mutch, found the yarn and dropped the match as Buddy called out. In tone muffled because he probably was hid ing his head under the bedclothes : "All right. Aunty rm In." As the Inst member of the family went upstairs to bed there crept put through the small semicircular door of the snowhouse a' human figure. It iiras that of a nava who was enveloped ta the buffalo robe and resembled some ragged Laplander. He edged to the shelter of some trees and stood there motionless. HU eyes were fixed on the window of the only one of the apper rooms which had a light In It It was that of Aunt Cordelia. She eame to the window In full view end pulled down the shade. The watcher ottered deep sigh. Now he retreated towards the hut and sat down on a snow hummock. "They have all gone to bed." he soliloquized. "It's safe for me to ven ture. She has left the window op from the bottom a few Inches for ventila tion, and the space la big enough to pass the letter through." The man now removed the robe from his shoulders, thrust It out of view In side the snow hut and took from his' pocket a sealed envelope. This he placed between his teeth, approached the house and began ft hand-over-hand, careful and noiseless ascent of a broad trellis which very nearly traversed the' entire side of the house. Inch by Inch he clambered, until his face was oppo site the open window space. He freed one hand to remove the letter from his teeth and slipped It through the aper ture. The stranger was about to descend when a sudden glow crossed his face. It died down, then suddenly It flared up more brilliantly than before. Curl ous, and at the same time somewhat startled, the man threw back his head to obtain a clearer range of vision. It was to discover ft heap of rubbish In the storeroom which Aunt Cordelia had visited two hours previous bursting la Jo a blaze. The man was deft and agile. He rapidly marked a course sideways to wards the window of the lumber room. The smoldering and blazing heaps In the apartment told him that here was no casual problem to deal with. He braced his feet as he got directly op-" posite the window. He could not lift the sash from the outside. "Fire! Fire I Fire!" he yelled at the top of his voice, Intent on arousing the sleeping Inmates of the house. Then he'gnve his body a forcible, forward lurch. It Impelled him throiiirh thu lower frame of the window with a heavy crash, carrying the splintered sash with him. The man landed on the floor Inside amid a shower of putty, glass and wood. He was speedily on his feet He kept up his shouting, but doubly active the while. Some smoking bits of carpet he lifted and flung through the window out upon the snow-covered grouud. A mass of old papers and magazines the stuff had covered burst forth Into vivid flume. He was scorched, hnlf blinded, breathless, but he kept on throwing out the blazing rubbish about him. Now he wavered and uttered chok ing gasps. He felt that the smoke, cin ders and heat were about to overcome him. He was about to abandon the un equal battle when he noticed two rJn Jacketed cans, the outside of which were smoking and shooting out spas modic streaks of flame. "Kerosene, gasoline I" he panted des perately, and dashed at them. One after the other they hurtled through the window. Then a great blase of light outside and an echoing explosion. The brave fire-fighter staggered to wards the door. He threw the weight of his powerful frame against It The door gave way. He went with It pros trate in the ball, and over him, attract ed to the spot by his warning cries and the accompanying commotion, stum bled Mr. Porter. Then the calls of the latter brought all hands under the roof to the scene. It was an exciting five minutes, while Mr. Porter beat out the flames and the other members of the a household brought water and dashed It on the dy ing embers. Mr. Porter carried the Insensible man on his shoulders Into a vacant bedroom. At a glunce he saw that this Incidental saver of his property, and probably of life, was seriously burned. Buddy hurried on his clothes and ran for a doctor. It was daylight when Aunt Cordelia found the letter lying on the floor of her room. She opened It to regard Its contents with dilating eyes and a quickly paling face. A romance five years dead, the details of which she had never Imparted to a single soul, was revived with a strangeness and force that made her sway to the point of fainting. "I am all through with the drink," It read. "I am a changed' man, have made my way, in the world and am . driven to see you, Jlf only at a distance, once more. Of course you have Ions since forgotten me, but if my peni tence and my redemption appeal to you In the slightest degree send me a single line to the address I give and I will hasten to see you openly." What her answer would be, the glowing eyes, the kiss she bestowed upon those cherished written lines, her tears, presaged clearly. She was called by her brother Into the hall. "The doctor says our patient will be all right In a day or two, and is com fortably resting now," Mr. Porter said. "Will you sit by him, Cordelia, until mother gets breakfast overt" Bandolph Waters looked up from the couch upon which he lay as Cordelia entered the room. She made no pre tense of affectation, or shyness, or aversion. "Randolph r she said, and sat down beside him and caressed the bandaged hand. "Ion were the ghost little Bud dy saw at the window? You Just In time discovered the fire my careless Bess caused r He smiled an assent hope and com fort compassing him. She leaned to wards him and kissed him on the -cheek, "That Is the nnswer to your letter, said Aunt Cordelia simply. 1
