About 9 o'clock the eandi. date was walked blindfolded around he reels until her sense of direction been properly confused and then led to Kim wood cemetery, where half the girls were th don white sheets and do the ghost stunt. Ah the girls neared the cemetery their courage began to noze rapidly down through their shoes and by the time they had reached the center or the silent ground, with Its groat white monuments nnd oppressive st illness, the entire lot were seared half silly and only the presence of the entire hunch kept thern from stampeding in pure horror. Tn Fen red whispers they placed the in conspicioua spots which were nifghty near the huddled crowd ntVd. prepared lo- untie tli bandage from the candidate's eyes.

As the leader was fumbling with the knot, her fright-stiffened fingers refusing to find 'the loose ends easily long drawn hut shuddering groan which sent the cold chills ehrtaing up and down the spinal columns of the shivering girls, was heard nnd a weird ghostly form was seen to rise perpend ienlary from a nearby mound and with a wave nf Ms arm resurrected nn army of glihsts from behind tombstones and grassy mounds. The entire cemelery seemed to be Halted" with Chests not on (he pro gram, and with one tern tied sn iick Oh I Tans precipitately tied. lltnPT over mounds nnd monuments and leaving their own ghostly ra i- nient behind.
