SPIRIT WIFE GALLS HER HUSBAND
The following "true ghost story" Is
told by a correspondent of the St. Lou
is Republic, who declares the facts
came partly uuder his own notice and
were In part told to him by eyewit
nesses: *?
"Philip Ilartuiaun was a big. easy
going. ???>??! Matured, luzy fellow. We
called lilui Elephant at school. Early
"FANNY !"
In his mauhood he married Fann.v Ash
burton. n young woman of Rood fam
ily and some fortune, but hardly the
style of girl one would have picked out
for a young man ou the threshold of
life, as she was of rather plain appear
ance and several years Philip's senior.
However. It was nobody's affair but
the couple's own, especially as the ex
periment proved distinctly successful.
At the end of two years Fanny fell a
victim to ptomaine poisoning, and Phil
ip found himself aloue.
"Phil," the dying woman had whis
' pered faintly. "I am going to leave
I you. Keu-.emLer. If ever you marry
: again I'll bauut you. *1 won't let her
i have : ou Kiss me. darling."
Thus I-antiy had died with a threat
and a message <?i love ou her,llps. For
a time Philip h.:d l:ccu Inconsolable.
Nothing was lu Its place; nothing that
came ou the table was tit to eat. But
time brought solace, and the young
widower i>egau to take notice. Wheu
finally Amelle Klnkaid swept Into his
horizon he threw restralut to the
winds and advanced to a speedy and
decisive conquest. But. try as he
might. Fanny's words continued to
echo lu his ears: "I'll haunt her. 1
won't let her have you."
Amelle was all that Fanny bad not
been? young, pretty and winning. A
year of quiet contentment followed for
l'hillp and his second wife. At the eud
of a year the youug couple removed to
California, whither Philip had been
called to accept a position. Never had
Fanny auil her threat been further
frqjn his lultul. One day six mouths
later Philip was prostrated by an at
tack of acute Indigestion, but as he
had Ioiik Ixt-n subject to such attacks
there seemed nothing remarkable in
the circumstance.
Amelle's anxiety and devotion were
touching, and for several days she re
fused to leave her husband's side or to
allow any one. even her mother, who
was visiting them, to relieve her as
nurse. But at the end of the third day
Philip was well on the road toward re
covery. Amelle couseuted to retire to
an adjoiulug room for a much needed
fest. A half hour perhaps passed, aud
Philip was dozing, when suddenly
Amelle burst In upon him aud rushed
to throw herself sobbing Into his arms.
"Oh, Philip. Philip!" she cried hys
terically. "Fanny is after me! She has
couie to take you. I have had you loug
enough, she declares, and now she la
going to have you herself. But I wou't
give you up! I wou't!"
"There, there!" urged Philip, trying
to soothe her and trusting that she
had not noticed his sudden paleness.
"Calm yourself. This Is ull nonsense."
"No, It is not." persisted Amelle,
still weeping. "I saw her as distinct
ly as I see you now. and 1 knew her
from her picture. She had ou a brown
dress. Aud she was furious. 'He Is
I my husband,' she declared. polatluc
her finger toward this room, "not
yours. You have bad him long enough,
and now I meau to take blm, as 1 said
I would.' Tell me. Philip, did she
ever say such a thing?"
"No. no," replied Philip, trying not
to looV guMty. "of course not! Such
things folly. Lie down here on
the bed now. and I'll fetch you h glass
of wlue. No. no Pui all right."
With these wo.ds he opened the dooc
and made a step forward Into the cor
ridor. There was a sudden pause, a
gurgle In the throat, and as he threw
up his arms Anielle heard him utter u
single word? "Fanny!"
The next moment he plunged hind
long to the tloor dead.
Fanny hud fulfilled her threat

ed to carry on the battle alone, but by
clubbing his gun Hogers managed to

The snakes were each five feet In
length, n size unusual In this species.
