A PIIANTOM P0BT1UIT.
"Dear Mike: Will you look In at my
6hop this evening? QuiUer is in town,
nnd is going to dine with me at the club,
I can't stand an evening of him alone,
but if you and Teddy O'Brien will sup
port me, with pipes and potations, I think
. we shall be a match for him. Come early,
And Vm your friend for life.
Dick Graves.
- I had nothing particular to do, so I
sent word round to Dick that I should
turn up, haying' first made sura that
. Teddy O'Brien, whoso studio was in the
came block, would go also. Quiller we
knew of old, as all the world knew him
a man who had seen everything, done
everything, been, everywhere and these
occasional visits of his were ' a perpetual
terror to uraves.
' Dick Graves, who usually shone as a
host, was not at his best that evening.
He was nervous at first, and rather silent, -leaving
the burden of the talk to Teddy
and myself. .
" Will you fellows look over my Cornish
sketches?!? said Graves, Suddenly jump-
- rj A
lire some you have not Been" and he be
paa to rummage about among a pile of
cld canvases, ' , r . .
QuiUer reamed his seat and sat hair
nhsenUy, Itifi contemptuously, watching
us as ' we . turned over the paintings
ossibly he was amused by our jargon of
tone" and ? quality," and the rest. At
length I picked up from the heapapaint
iug thai caught my eye and propped it on
the easel near tne lamp. Lt was qui to
unlike "Graves's usualw6rk, and I stood .
looking at it for a moment, not quite
knowing why I did so. It was the head
of a young " woman, palo and Blightly
worn. She was leaning a little forward,
looking out of the picture, her mouth
parted by a slight, tremulous smile, aud
in her eyes a look- that wa3 a strange
mingling of emotions, as if a new hope
and liappiness had come into a life of sor
row a, look half wistful, half exultant.
I turned to speak to Graves, and saw
that QuiUer had got up and was standing '
gazing at the picture with a look of fasci
nation or of fear. Hear at last was some
thing that interested him. . .
"Where did you get that?" he asked
abruptly. .
" What do you think of it ? " said Graves
slowly. '
"It's a good head, " said Teddy O'Brien.
" It's a wonderful model, " said I.
"A face to haunt one, " said Quiller, in
n tone quite unlike his ordinary cynical -ode.
, ' . v
uAh, that's it," said Graves. "It's more
than human. "
Who is it ?" said Quiller, in his abrupt
way again. v
'PriM yiitt emit T nnn'f. trll rnn. fnrT ilnn't
know. It's a queer story, and oue Tm
almost ashamed to ask you to believe. . I
shan't blame you if you think I'm hum
barging." We settled ourselves by the fire with
our pipes, and Dick began his story in a
manner, for him, so unusually grave and
impressive that it seemed to leave uo
room for doubt as to his perfect good .
faith iu the matter.
"I went into Cornwall, as you know,
nt the end of the summer, and after loaf
lug 'round Newlyn for awhile, I went to
the south coast to try and find soino placo
that had been less painted, " I stayed a
few days at Polpetro, but it was all so
much liae tne sinaiierexmoinons in town
that I could not stand it, and I finally
landed at t" naming a small sojiioit
town, " where there were no painters and
rot many visitors, . I stayed at the '.Ship
Inn,' and looked 'round for some place to
hang up my palette. After some inquiries.
I found a small cottage which had been
empty for some time, but which hnd ev
idently been used as a studio, for there
was a wall knocked out at one side and
good sized rooni added, with a high, north
light. On the south the kitchen 'ami
parlor,' which opened one into theother
had a view of the loveliest little haibot
in the world. The place was just wlut f
wanted, and the rent was aUsurd-ouly
flftaj-enr; so I took it for six nioutln.
on the multi-standing I wrui to keep it or
I I h I bought a few things to
in iV.c tK- -'.vo comforti! ! and got ;m
r!d vv.n. i to look .if Mr i! vac; but '.
lived f
the time at .
lii'i.-
and just at first I spent very little time a"
the studio, only taking iu my canvases ai
eight. When October set in cold and
wet, I had to do some work indoors, and
then it was I began to think there wafr
something queer about the place, i On
day I had been painting a young gin
from the village, the granddaughter o
my ancient dame, and I was putting
few touches to the background when I
heard a sound close behind me, like a
very gentle sigh.I looked 'round quickly,
but there was no one in sight no oue in
the room, in fact. I went on painting.
with an uncomfortable feeling of some
thing uncanny, and in a few minutes th
sound was repeated actually at my ear
I dropped jny ibrush with the start
made,' and then I went all through tho
house to see if any one was in it. I knew
that Annie and her grandmother had
gone home, and I thought I hoped
that some poor soul had crept in to shel
ter from the rain by the kitchen fire.
Well, there was not a soul near the place.
I locked up carefully that night when I .
went back to the inn, and in the solace of
a glass of grog and a pipe before I went
to bed I almost persuaded myself there
was nothing in it. In the morning I had
really forgotten it, I fancy ; but when I
got back to the studio a curious thing
had happened. Right across the face in
my picture were a couple of brush marks,
Buch as you might make if you were try
ing the tooth of a canvas, completely
spoiling my work, of the day before, I
called up Annie and her grandmother,
and, accused them of . playing tricks.
They were indignant at the idea, and
finally I had to apologize for my suspi
cions. .We reached the house together,
but could find no means by which any
one could have entered, and at. last I was
obliged to conclude that I must have
done the damage myself' when I let my
brushes fall, i In a few days, however, it
became impossible to explain the thing
by this or any other natural means ; con
stantly my canvases were tampered with,
and I grew to have the feeling that after
twilight I was never alone in the room ;
that faint sigh, which had so startled me
at first, I came to listen for and expect,
and I began." at last to'clothe it with a per
sonality, and to wish I had some means
of comforting the poor soul who had no
other language in which to express hei
despair. I did not think it was she who
had defaced my canvases, however, and
I took to carrying my work back with me
at night to the inn, where they were se
cure from interference.
"I suppose the thing would have ended
there but for an accident. There was a
race meeting in the town, and the Ship'
was invaded by & low set of fellows, who
got drunk and made beasts of themselves
generally. The place became unbeara
ble, and I determined to camp jn the stu
dio until they cleared out. " I made up a
big fire, got my old woman to leave me
some hot water in the kettle, and with
help of a rug and a pillow stuffed into
the back of my chair I made myself tol
erably comfortable for the night.- How
long I slept J don't know. I awoke sud
denly, not as one does in bed, with a
drowsy feeling of relief that it is too
early to get up, but with every jgnse on
the alert, and a curious" impression that
something unusual was happening. The
ike was still bright, and made a glow on
the opposite wall; but what made the
room bo light was the moon shining in
through the square window in the roof.
I could see everything in the room qui to
plainly, but I seemed oppressed by some
weight that made me powerless to move.
I sat there staring at what had happened
as helpless 'as if I had been bound. My
painting things were just as I had left
them ; my canvas, on which . I had
sketched in a head, on the easel, and close J
by, on a stool, paints, brushes, and pal
ette.' They had been there,- that is to
say, for now there stood in front of the
easel, with his back to me, a tall man,
with a stoop in his shoulders, and dark
gray hair ; lie had my palette in his hand,
and he was painting with a sort of nerv
ous intensity that it thrilled one to see.
I looked to see what he was painting, for
he kept glancing over toward the patch
. ., , J . i a. a. A J. T 1 .3 !
iu me mooniigni ; pui at uraii a wuiu r
nothing. , Then I heard that little geutlo
sigh, but not, it seemed to me, so utterly
wearand heartbroken as formerly; it
was' u sigh almost of content And as I
pondered on this my eyes seemed to be
come more accustomed to the light ; and
there in the moonlight, on the very chair
in which Annie had sat, was a woman, i
leaning slightly forward, young, beauti- j
f ul, and yery pale--but you liavesecn the
picture. I looked at her now more than '
at hira, only glancing now and then, to
see how the work went on. As I watched
her the face changed, and the eorrowf ul,
worn look gave place to a kind of woa
dering happiness he has not quite got it
in the picture; it was as if the '.feeling
were so intense it made a kind of radi
ance 'round her. I don't know how loug
I watched. At last a sound made me
turn and look at the painter; he had
thrown down the palette aud brushes, and
was standing looking at bin work; then
he turned slowly and held out his hands I
with a -supplicating gesture, tone had
risen, too, and came a step forward with
a wonderful light in her eyes, and just
as she put her hands in his a cloud crossed
over the moon aud blotted out the fig
ures from my sight. When it passed the
patch of moonlight wasempty, and there
was only the tainted head and tho pale tie
lying on the floor to convince mo that I
had not been .! -i-ming. "Aftor that I

miliar sound of my old woman preparing
my breakfast. . Tift smell of frying pil
chards was refreshingly mundane, and I
got up stiff and sore from my uneasy
couch, prepared to find that my phan
toms of the night before had been noth
ing but a dream. No ; there was tho
picture just as you see it, and on the floor
were the palette and brushes. ' I picked
them up, and looked curiously at them.
If you'll believe me, I could never make
up my mind to clean the paint off that pal
ette, and it hangs there just as that fellow
left it"
We sat silent for some minutes when
Graves had done. I confess the story
impressed me a good deal, and glancing
up I could see that QuiUer was strangely
moved.
"And did you never have any expla
nation of the thing? " said I at laBt.
"No," said Graves. 1 never had any
explanation, and I don't suppose I ever
shalt" :
QuiUer had risen, and stood near the
fire.
"I think I can give it, " he said, knock
ing the ashes out of his pipe.
Graves stared at him; no one spoke,
and he went on, as if unwillingly :
', "That must have been Drake's cottage
you had ; he was before your time 1
dare say you never heard of him. He.
lived there with his wife and that's her
portrait"
- Gra-es's stare of surprise became more
profound, and Teddy and I looked on
in silent wonder. QuiUer went on, speak
ing like a man that has been carried
quite out of himself ; v
"There was a tragic story told about
Drake and bis wife. He was a good deal
older than she, and ' changeable and
moody in his ways ; and she, poor child,
was ambitious to help him to be great
At first he was tender and- thoughtful
toward hertJand then he seemed to for
get how fragile and sensitive she was
he neglected -ber, and grew more and
more morose and, moody. He used - to
get very savage about his models, and
complain that it was impossible to get
any one with intelligence enough to sit
decently; Once his . wife asked him
whether she could not sometimes help
him by sitting, and he only laughed at
her, I remember, : .'You youf he said
that was all. Then the - poor chUd' had
an illness, which, if she had been happier
might have ended, differently, and been
a new happiness to both of them: but
' she was too worn out with sorrow and
disappointment, and in the end she died.
In her delirium she was always calling
to her husband ; 'Let me help you let
me be of some use; only once, dearj
paint me only once; and poor Drake,
who woke up to a sense of his loss, was
heartbroken at his inability to satisfy:
her. The tenderest and most passionate
tones of his voice never reached her, and
she died without ever knowing lum
again,? After that Drake was a changed
man ; he seemed to have only one idea
to paint the portrait of his wife. Canvas
after canvas he spoiled, and when I went
to see him he would say; 'She can not
rest untU I have done it I must suc
ceed ; sooner or later I must satisfy her.
At length he became so unmanageable, !
eating nothing, and spending long, sleep
less nights walking about the country,
that his friends came and took him
away. He died some months after in an
asylum. " -
"By Jove!" said Teddy O'Brien when
QuiUer had finished, and then relapsed
into silence.
I looked at Graves, but he was lost in
a wonderment too deep for words.
"The portrait's very like her," said
QuiUer, with a strange awe in Ids tone.
"I'm glad poor Drake succeeded at
last" "
"You think " said I, and broke off,
Quiller was putting on his coat. He
answered my unspoken question with a
solemnity for which I was not prepared.
"For 23 years those two poor ghosts
have been waiting their opportnuity.
Let us be thankful that in the end they
found it.
He seemed to forget to take leave of us
in any way, and went without another
word. As the door closed each of U3
drew a deep breath of relief. Dick raised
his head with an air of stupefaction.
"That's a rum story," said Teddy I
O Unen ; " way did you never tell it Do
fore?" - .
. "The rummiest thing about it' is tho
sequel," said L "Dick, old man, is your
part true?"
"I don't know, "said Dick; "I begin
to think it must be. " "
"Great-Scotland Yard!" said Teddy
O'Brien, " did you make it up ? "
"Every word of it on tho spur of tho
moment "
"Did you know -" .
Not a word. Quiller seemed struck by
that picture, and it was the only sign of
human interest he had v shown, bo ; I
thought I'd humor him. I didn't meau
a ghost story when I began, but it some
how developed into that I would have
given a good deal to take a rise out of
him, but I never hoped for any tiling no
complete as tins. "
"It was a curious coincidence that you
6hould have taken Drake's cottage," said
Mr. O'Brien. . '
"Yes," said Dick dryly; ''but Uio most
curious part of it all is that the cott;ig
was made, up too. "
- "Great Scotland Yard!" said Teddy
O'Brien again.
"And who painted tho head ?"

MATTER OF HISTORY.
BRIEF HISTORY OF THE INCIDENTS WHICH
LEU TO TSE ! FAMOUS BATING OF
"WHAT TUB GOVERNOR OF NOBTII
CAROLINA SAID TO TUB GOV
ERNOR OF SOUTH CARO
LINA." Atlanta Journal,
Every man in the United States is sup
posed to know what the "Governor vl
Worth Carolina said to the Governor of
South Carolina," bat possibly some do not
know when and under what circumstances
the famous remark was made.
- Nearly a century ago a man prominent
in political affairs in Jorth Carolina moved
across the border and settled in South Car.
olina. He had been there only a short time
when he committed some small crime or
misdemeanor, for which he was indicted.
To escape arrest he returned to his old home
in North Carolina. In due course of time
the governor of iSorrtn Carolina issued his
requisition on the Governor of North Car.
olina for the fugauve criminal.
The fugutive had rich and influential
friends in Lis native State, and they inter
ceded with the governor until he refused
to grant the requisition. A long official
correspondence lollowed. Prominent men
in South Carolina told tne govercor he had
not been troAted witli proper oihcial cour
tesy by the goveroor oi' ilorth Carolina,
The rebuH was tnat the South Carolina
governor, accompauied by a large party of
lneuds and advisers, jourue) ed by stage to
Kaleigh. the capital of North Carolina, for
a conference w ith the governor about the
matter of giving up the criminal.
The governor vt North Carolina, with a
large party of distinguished friends, met
the governor of South Carolina beveral
miles from town, and escorted him to the
governor's mansion with all the ceremony
dee Mich i , distinguished visitor.
lietore tho object of (he visit Was stated 1
the entire party st dowu to an elaborate
diuner. Alter ainner wine was served, and
after wiue came brandy the "apple-jack"
for which the Old North S:ate is famous.
After many rounds of drinks the decau
ters and . glasses were removed, and the
governor of South Carolina aUted the object
of bis visit He demanded the surrender
of the fugative criminal. The governor of
Noriu Carolina refused. Theu followed a
long and heated discussion in which the
attorney-generals of the two titatea took an
active part.i
Finally, the governor of South Carolina
grew angry, and, rising to his feet, he said : I
"&ir, you nave refused my Ja&t demand,
and offended the dignity of my office and
my State, Uules yoa at once surrender
tne prisoner I will return to my capital,
cau out tne meutia of tne mate, Mid, .re.
turning with my army, I will take the iu
gative by force of arms. Governor what
do yon say x
. All eyes were turjied on the Governor of
North Carolina, and his auswer was awaited
with breathless interest. The governor
rote slowly to his feet, and beckoned to a
servant who stood some distance away.
His beckoning was firm wad dignified, as
became his position. He was slow about
answering, and again the governor cf
South Carolina demauded . What do you
Hayf' - .
T say, governor, that it's a long time
between diiuks I"
The reply restored good humor. Decan
ters and glasses were brought oat again,
and, while the visitors remained, if any one
attempted to refer to the diplomatic object
of the visit he was cut short by the remark
that it was a long time between drinks. ,
When the visiting governor Wan teady to
return home he was escorted to the Estate
line by the governor of North Carolina,
and they parted the best of friends.
ihe lugative was never mirreiiUered.

WE MUS1VBE REPRESENTED.

Fair, after alb that Is, if she has to 'depend
npou a legislative appropriation for that
purpose, lt looks very much as if the last
legislature deliberately voted to appropriate
money which they knew could not be di
verted from the purpose for which it Was
intended. In other words, not wishing to
bear the stigma of refusing to vote enough
money ta enable the State to be properly
represented at the Columbian Exposition,
they resorted to a trick, which, while re
lieving them from the odium of allowina
our State to be unrepresented at that great
exhibit of the resources and industries of
the world, yet most effectually - prevents
snch a representation. It seems incredibly
to think that.our legislators should do this,
but it is more incredible to think thev were
so ignorant as not to know that the- could
not legally divert money owing to private
individuals, to any such s purpose. 'The
thing seems to us absolutely xediculous,
and would be amusing aa an illustration of
imbicility and demagoguery, if it did cot
