But slm made an inward resolve that she would keep her nows to herself here after. Meanwhile sho was pleased to notice a. slight Improvement In her niece. Jessie was a trifle more lively in conversation, and not so much inclined to go to bed with a headache right after supper. She ev< n appeared to take some slight interest m the visitors that were so frequent in tin- Br ixton horn- .•■<• id. There fore Mrs. Braxton was not entirely surprised wlnm .b-ssie gave a languid acquiescence to the project for a Hallowe’en party at the house. "You needn’t take any part, unless you like,” said Sue, who was half afraid of her City cousin. "It won’t hurt her to have a little old-fashioned fun for one night.” said Uncle Aimer, bluntly, and Jessie smiled assent. 111. When the night came there must have been three dozen young folks in the big kitchen, with Uncle Abner as niasb r of ceremo nies, and he was a success in that line. His knowb dge of super stitions connected with the observance of th'al night could not have been surpassed by an auld Scotch gudc wifi, and some of the younger girls almost went into hysterics over the ghostly tests h<- suggested. They were quite willing to duck for appb s, throw tlie peel over the left shoulder, run melted lead through a key, walk backward three times around Tho room with a mouth full of water, but when It came to going out and sowing s< cd In the road, creating an apple in the cellar with only a single candle to dispel the gloom or any other of tho "creepy” tests of courage or credulity, it was the general opinion that j such actions were “silly. ’ ] "You are a poor lot.” said Uncle Abner, with his customary I frankness. "When I was young a boy or a girl wasn’t thought much of unless they’d seen .it hast one ghost on Hallow.'em ! Now. I’ll just give you one more, and 1 dare say there ain't a girl in Hie room that’s got the spunk to try it. it's a ; ire thing, j too.
