"It's not more than a yoar ago," Baid the veteran detective, when asked for a story, "that I had the strangest experience of my career. That's saying something, for, while I'm not ono of these men in novels who can put on half a dozon disguises in an evening or look at a little heap of oigar ashes and identify tho man who smoked th?? cigar, I've soon a great deal that's way out of tho common. "An old gentleman named Denzil called nt my oflico ono afternoon to employ my professional services. I knew him by reputation as a stern, grasping, money-making man, who, loved nothing but his possessions and his beautiful (laughter. On her he had lavished wealth, but had sad dened her lifo by preventing her mar riage to a manly young chap who was a fitting match for her in appearance, attainments and disposition. Ho was fast making a rccovd in the world of business, but it was a rich old bache lor who had passed tho years of ro maneo and enjoyment that DanzH had elected to have as a son-in-law. Even under tho threat of disinherit ance tho girl would not yield to this morcenary arrangement, tho result being a strained state of neutrality, which loft both aspirants for her hand without any apparant hope of gotting it. "My caller wont direct to business. 'I'm a constant and heavy loser bo eauso of tho theft of money and jewels from my own house,' ho told mo. 'Things that aro of tho most value constantly and mysteriously disappear. Now don't start off with tho usual questions about tho ser vants. I havo taken pains to test their honesty for years and they aro abovo suspicion. I am completely in the dark, without any theories to embarrass you or any explanations to help. You have tho whole job with out a ray of light thrown upon it, and if you find tho thief there will bo no haggling over tho foo. lt will be worth much to me to get this worry off my mind. Burglars that make no noiso or marks and leave ono's house shut up as tight as a drum tend to shatter n rn?.p.'.*; nerve' "I went at once into tho country and neighborhood where Denzil lived, pretending to look for a bit of land whore I could build within easy reach of tho city. I put up at a little road side tavern, much frequented in the ovoning by farm hands. I was soon interested in their gossip about a ghost which they declared had been Hoon at different times and by differ; ont peoplo. Their awed tones and Reared faces fitted the subject, ano thoro seemed to bo some substantial foundation for tho uncanny story. Ono husky young fellow, who did not look as though ho would bo easily frightened; told of Iiis encounter : " *I war a gittin' homo kinder late of a Sunday niglit, an' jist as I kim to th' woods ayond olo Donzil'a I mighty near had a corlission with th' ghos\ It warn't no whito cow er gray boss er snoop er nothiu' olso as war nosh an' blood. It whizzed by mo jist liko it war ?lyin' low an' orful ;W?f on o broomstick.. A ?olior's got to boliovo his own eyes, hasn't bo ? I war never soboror in my lifo an* never BO skcofed. I bet my footprints war 20 foot apart th' ros' of tho way home, fur I had a idoo that thar poshy thing war a sailiu' 'long jist aliiud my coat tails.' "I heard like exper/ioncos from several others, avid in some way con nected the ghoats with tho Denzil ! robborios. For two nights I stood a dreary watoh in tho woods referred to without making any discovery. Tho tbird night I received a shook. It was intensely dark in the shadows of tho trees, and as I Rat at tho root of a big oak sonic whito objeot'gUded swiftly and noiselessly just above tho center of tho road. It made tho cold chi UK run over me? though I have no patienoo with thofio who tell of visits or communications with tho departed. "I was determined to enlighten myself and secured a good saddle hor80 as companion of my vigils. Tho second night the 'ghost' flow by and I galloped in its wake at all the speed my hovso could command. A milo ahead tho 'appnration' swerved to tho right of tho road and onded our mall race. Tying my horso in a fonco corner "I oropt nearer. Slowly I made out that tho 'ghost'was a woman of statoly proportions wearing nothing but a daintily rubied night robo, tibe loaned for a brief time over tho hollow stump that had been her evident destination and thon turning mounted hor Hying maohino, which was a modorn bicycle, and went scorching hack ovor tho course sho had como. Again I followed and did not stop until I saw hor disap pear in tho sido door of tho Denzil house. Hastening back to tho hollow stump I oxplorod tho intorior." * "And found the stolon property, of cour?o," interrupted a listener. "Not a sign of it. I could disoovor nothing that did not naturally be long thore. Failing to find the thief in the 'ghost' I became a member of the Denzil household, ostonsibly ns his private secretary. My first dis covery was that tho 'ghost' was tho beautiful Miss Donzil. Sho was a somnambulist and in utter ignorance of tho woird night ridoB sho had taken. IJut whon told of them tho explanation was an easy ono. When she and hor young lovers wero chil dren that hollow stump bad boen tho postoffiee whore their ardent missives wore mailed and cared for. Tho memory of thoso days was a delight ful one to her and tho strange men tor to hor unconscious action prompted hor visits to tho spot. "My next important discovory ox plained tho mystery I was employed to solve Watching secretoly in tho hallways, I saw old Denzil, withcycB wide upon and set, como out of tho chamber, climb thc stairs to tho attic, unlock an old desk stored thoro, open a secret drawer and doposit monoy as well as jewels. II?B notion showed me that his daughter's habit of mov ing about at night was an inherited ono. Tho next morning ho gave mo a tcrriflio blowing up ns a or.roless, incompetent and worthless dotoctive, who could not catch a thief whon in the house with him. I was more in terested in that charming daughter of his than in my caso, and a Boheme Hashed into my mind as if inspired. " 'Mr. Denzil,' I said, 'can you stand the shock of knowing that your daughter is seriously threatened with tlie loss of hor mind bcoauso of brood ing over separation from tho man whom you nay she shall nevoi- marry, and that because of ber mental infir mity she is innocently robbing you under a delusion that in no other way can she provide for tho futuro happi ness of horsolf, and that young chap she honestly thinks, poor girl, she ia going to marry ?" " 'It's a lie,' ho roared, 'a misera ble plot. You'ro discharged.' "I did not take Miss Denzil into my plans. I secretly transferred all the stolen wealth to tho old stump, ead a trusted ofiioor on guard and then told the old gentleman that I could provo all I said and insisted on tho right to vindicate mysolf. Ho and I watched at thc primitive post ollico till his daughter carno and re peated the conduct I have described. Then wo brought out thc concealed treasures. Denzil was besido him self for fear he might act too late. I Io sent post haste for tho young lover, made a handsome settlement, insisted on an immediato wedding and had mo as ono of tho guests.
