. St. Nicholas [serial]. ere. It s probably a stray cow. No, it is nt, Eliot. Really! It was abouteight feet tall, and white, and it had long arms, sort of stretched out. Wow ! I m glad I did nt meet it, kid ! Wherewas it ? Not far from the spring—off in the woods. In spite of his effort to appear unconcerned, theboys could not help noticing that Cousin Williehad been frightened. They wondered what appa-rition had confronted him in the dark, silentwoods.

Too greatly bewilderedand startled to talk much, all had risen, and nowthey stood watching with a sort of hypnotic fas-cination the slow, impressive progress of thespecters. Each was fully eight feet tall. The heads wereinvisible except for the eyes, which glowed witha kind of phosphorescent brilliance. The longarms of the ghosts were extended, and occa-sionally these moved as if beckoning to the boys.Loose white draperies flutter
