THE INDIANA STATE SENTINEL, WEDNESDAY MORNING, MAY 18. 1892-TVFELYE TAGES.

A 6REAT 6HQ8T STORY. A Romance by Oscar Wilde. From "Arthur Savillo's Crime," by tho kind permission of the American Publishers, Messrs. Dodd, Mead & Co., New York.

"When Mr, Hiram B. Otis, the American minister, toujcht Canterviile Chaie, every one told him be was doiny a very fooliah ttunp, a3 tbera waa no doubt at all that the place was haunted. Indeed, Lord Canterviile himself, who was a man of the most punctilious honor, had fell it hia duty to mention the fact to Mr. Otis when they came to dificu?9 terms. "We have not cared to live in the plare ourselves," said Lord Cunterville, 'aince my grand-aunt, the dowar ducheaa of Bolton, waa frightened into a tit from whirh ehe never really recovered, by two ekelton hands beini? placed on her shoulders aa she was dressing for dinner, and I feel bound to tell you, Mr. Oti.-, that tha ghost has been seen by several living members of my family, aa well as by the rector of the pariah, the Rev. Autru.tus Dampier, who is fellow of King'a college, Cambridge. After the unfortunate accident to the duche?s, none of our younaer servant wou'd stay with us and Lady Canterviile often got very little sleep at nittht in consequence of the myeterous noises that came from the corridor and the library." . . "Mr lord," answered the minister, "I will take the farnitnn? ani the pho?t at a valuation. I coie from a modem conntry, where we have everything that money can buv; and with all our spry young fellows painting the Old World red and marrying of your best actors and prima donna. I reckon that if there were such a thin? as a ghost in Enrope, we'd have it at home in a very short time in one of oar public museums, or on the road as a enow." "I fear that the chest exist," id Lord Canterviile, sraiiini:, ' though it may have resisted the overtures of your enterprising impresarios. It has been well known for three centuries, since 15S4. in fact, aod Iways makes its appearance before the death of any member of onr family." "Well, bo does the family doctor for that matter. Lord Canterviile. But there La no euch thing, sir, as a ghost, and I sniesa he laws of nature are not going to be suspended for the British aristocracy." "Yoa aro certainly vorr natural in America." answered Lord Canterviile. who did not quite unden-tand Mr. Otis' laat observation, "and if you don't mind a ghost in the house it is all rijht, Unlr remember, I warned you." A few weeks after this the purchase waa concluded, and at the clopeof the season the minister and his family went down to Canterviile Chase. Mrs. "Otis, who, as Miss Lucretia It. Tappan of W. Fifty-third-et., had been a celebrated Xew or k belle, was now a very handsome middle-aged woman, with fine eyes and a superb profile. Many American ladies on leaving their native land adopt an appearance o! ill-health, under the impression that it ia a form of Kuropean .refinement, but Mrs. Otis had never fallen into this error. She had a magnificent consti tution, and a reuLy wonderful amount of animal spirits. Indeed, in many respects ehe was quite English, and was an excellent example ot the fact that wo have really everything in common with America nowadayp, except, of courst. language. Her eldest son. christened Washington by Lis parents in a moment ot patriotism, which he has never ceased to regret, was a fair-haired, rather good looking younj man, who had qualified bimself for American diplomacy by leading the gerrnan at the Newport Casino for three euccessive reasons, and even in London was well known as an excellent dancer. Gardenias and the peerage were his only weaknesses. Otherwise he waa extremely sensible. Miss Virginia E. Otis was a little girl of fifteen, lithe and lovely as a fawn, and with a tine freedom In her largo blue eyes. Fhe was a wonderful ftinazon and had once raced olef Lord Bilton on her pony twice around the fark, winning by a length and it haif. just n front of the Achilles statue, to thehugo delight of tbe young duke of Cheshire, who proposed for her on the spot and was tent l ack to Eton that very night by hia .guardians in floods of tears. After Virginia came the twins, who were usually called '"the Hars and Stripes," as they were always getting swished. They were delightful boys, and, with the exception of the worthy minister, tho oulj true republicans f-f the family. As Canterviile Chaso ia eeven miles from Ascot, the nenrest railway station, Mr. Otis had telegraphed for a wagonette to men thrr.. and they started on their drive in high spiriu. It was a lovely July evening and the air was delicate with the Bcect of the pine wooda. Now and then they heard a wood pigon brooding over its own eweet voice, or saw, deep in tho rustling fern, tho burnished breast of the j heaoant. Littlo squirrels peered at them from the beech trees as they went by, and tho rabbits scudded away throngh tbe brushwood and over tho meaty knot, with their white tails in the air. As tbej entered the avenue of Canterviile Chase, however. tLe sky became suddenly overeast with clouds, a ccriousstillnesseeemed to hold the atmosphere, a great flight of rocks passed silently over their head:, and before they reached the hou3e some big drote of rain bad fallen. Standing on the steps to receive , them was an old woman, neatly dreased in black jiJk, with a white cap and apron. This was Mrs. U inner, the housekeeper, whom Mrs. Otis, at Lady Canterville's earnest request, bad consented to keep on ia ber former position. She made them each a low courtesy as they alighted, and said in A quaint, old-fashioned inanner,"I bid yon welcome to CanUrville Chase. Following her they passed through the fine Tudor hail into the library, a long, low room, panneledin black oak, at the end of which was a large stained-glass window. II ere they found tea laid out for them. And, after taking off their wraps, they sat down an i began to look around, while Mrs. Umney waited on thero. Suddenly Mrs. Otis caught tight of a dull red stain on the floor just by the fireplace, and, quite unconscious of what it really ligniried, gaid to Mrs. Umney, "I am afraid something has been spilled here." "Yes." sail tbe old hoosekteper in a voice, "blood baa been spilled on that pot" "How horrid." cried Mrs. Otis. "I don't at ail care for blood etains in a sitting room. It must be removed at once." The old woman smiled, and answered in the same low, mysterious voice: "Ilia the blood of Lily Elaanore de Canterviile, who was murdered on that very rfbot by her own husband, Sir Simon de Canterviile, in 1575. Sir Simon survived her sine years and disappeared iuddenly nnder very mysterious circumstances. His body has never been discovered, but his gni ty spirit still hiants the Chaie. The blood stain baa been mneh admired by touritita and otberi, and cannot bo removed." "Thatia all nonsense," cried Washington. Otis; "I'inkertoo'i Champion rUain liemoverandFaragon Detergent will elean Ct up ia no iLzia." and fcilaie the tcriisJ,

housekeeper could interfere he had fallen upon his knees, and was rapidly scouring the floor with a small stick of what looked like a black cosmetic. In a few moments no trace of tho blood stain could be seen. "I know Hnkerton would do it," he exclaimed trinmphantly, aa he looked round at hia admiring.' family; but no sooner had he said these words than a terrible riash of lightning; lit up the somber room, a fearful peal of thunder m ede them all 6tart to their feet, and Mra. Vmney fainted. "What a monstrous climate!" said the American minister caltnlr, aa he lit a Ions cheroot. "I gueas the old country is so over-populated that they have not enough decent weather for everybody. I have always been of opinion that emigration is the only thing for England." "Mr dear Hiram," cried Mrs. Otis, "what can wc do with a woman who faint7" "Charge it to her like breakages " answered tbe minister ; "she won't faint after that." And in a fer momenta Mrs. Umnsy certainly came to. There was no doubt, however, that she waa extremely upnet, and the eternly warned Mr. Otis to beware of some trouble coming to the house. "I have Been things with my own eyes, sir," she said, "that would make any Christian's hair stand on end and many and many a night I have not closed my eyes in sleep for tho awful things that are done here." Mr. Otis, however, and his wife warmly assured the honest soul that they were not afraid of ghosts; and, after invoking the blefsings of providence on her new master and mistress, and making arrangements for an increase in salary, the old housekeeper tottered oJ to her own room. II. The storm raged fiercely all that night, but nothing of particular note occurred. The next morning, however, when they came down to, breakfast, they found tho terrible stain of blood once again on the floor. "I don't think it can be the fault of tbe Paragon Detergent," said Washington, "for I have tried it with everything. It must be the ghost." He accordingly rubbed out the stain a second time, but the second morning it appeared again. Tho third morning .also it was there, though tbe library had been locked ud at night by Mr. Otia himself, and the key carried upstairs. The whole family were now quite interested. Mr. Otis began to suspect that he had been too dogmatic in his denial of the existence of ghosts. Mrs. Otis expressed her intention of joining tbe Psychical society, and Washington prepared a long letter to Messrs. Myers, and rod more on the Bubject of the permanence of sanguineous stains when connected with crime. That night all donbte about the objective existence of phantasmaia were removed forever. The day had been warm and sunny, and in the cool of the 'evening the whole family went out to drive. They did not return home till 9 o'clock, when they had a light supper. Tbe conversation in no way turned upon ghosts, to there were not even those primary conditions of receptive expectation which eo often precede the presentation of physical phenomena. The subjects discussed, as I hare since learned from Mr. Otis, were merely such as form

the ordinarv conversation of cultured 1 Americans of the better class, such as the immense superiority of Miss Fannie Dav enport over Sarah Bernhardt as an actress; tbe difficulty of obtaining green corn, buckwheit cakes, and hominy, even in the best English houses; the importance of Boston in the development of the world-soul; tbe advantages of the baggage check system In railway traveling ; and the sweetness of the New York accent aa compared to tho London drawl. No mention at all was made of the supernatural, nor wa Sir Simon- de Canterviile alluded to in any way. At 11 o'clock the family retired, and by 11:30 all the lights were out. Some time alter, Mr. Otis was awakened bv a curious noise in the corridor, outside his room. It sounded like tue clank of metal, and seemed to le coming nearer every moment. He got up at once, struck a match, and looked at the time. It was exactly 1 o'clock. Ue was quite calm, and felt his pulse, which was not at all feverish. The strange noise still contiuued, and with it he heard distinctly the sound of footsteps. He pot on hia slippers, took a small oblong phial out of bis dressingcase, and owned the door. Right in front of him be saw, in the wan moonlight, an old man o! terrible ae pect. His eyes were as red burning coals; long gray hair fell over bis shoulders in matted 'coils: his garments, which were of antique cut, were soiled and rageed, and from his wrists and ankles bung beary manacles and rustv gyves. "Mr dear sir," aaid Mr. Otis, "I really must inist on your oiling those chains, and have brought yoa for that purpose a email bottle of tbe Tammany Rising Snn Lubricator. It is said to be completely efficacious upon one application, and there are several testimonials to that e fleet on the wrapper from some ot our roost eminent native divines. I shall leave it here for yon by the bed-room candles, and will bo happy to supply you with more should rou require it. itn theso words the "U. S. minister laid the bottle down on a marblo table, and, closing his door, retired to rest. For a moment the Canterviile ghost stood qaite motionless in natu an! indignation; and then, dashing the bottle vio lently upon the polished floor, he fled down the corridor; uttering hollow groans and emitting a ghastly green ltgnt. Just. howaver, as he reached the top of the great oak staircase a door wus flung open, two little white-robed figures appeared. and a large pillow whizzed past bis bead ! There was evidently no time to be lost, go, hastily adopting the Fourth Dimension of Space as a means of escape, he vanished through the wainscoting, and the house became quite quiet. On reaching a small secret chamber in the left wing be leaned up against a moonbeam to recover bis breath, and began to try and realize his position. Never, in a brilliant and uninterrupted career of 300 years, had he been so grossly insulted, lie thought ot the Dowager Duchess, whom ho had frightened Into ft fit as she stood before tbe glatt in her laeeand dia znonds; of the tour housemaids, who had gone off into hysterica when he merely grinned at them through the curtains of one of the spare bedrooms; of the rector .ot the parish, whose candle he bad blown out as he was coming late one nigbt from tbe library, who had been under the care of Sir William Gull ever since, a perfect martyr to nervous diaorders; and of old . ... ... at Min, de iremouiliac. who, having wakened up one morning earl? and seen a skeleton seated to aa arrnchir by the fire read in i her diary, bad Lean confined to her bed for six weeks with an attack of brain fever and, on her recovery, had become reconciled to tho church, and broken olf her connection with that notorious ikeptlo Monsitnr de Voltaire. 21 ritaeabsrsd &d t:riiJa tkLiwhta

the wicked Lord Canterviile was found

choking in his dressing-room with the knave o! diamonds half-way down his throat, and confessed just before be died that he had cheated Charles Jams Fox out of 50.000 at!Crockfords bv means of that very card, and swore that the ghost had made him swallow iL AU bis great achievements came back to him again, from the butler who had shot hitneelf in the pantry because ha had seen a green hand tapping at tho window pane, to the beautiful lady Stutfield, who waa always obliged to wear a black velvet band around ber throat to bide the mark cf five fingers burnt upon he white skin, and drowned herself at last in the carp pond at the end ot the king'a walk. With the enthuiastic egotism of tha true artist, he went over his most celebrated prexormaoces and smiled bitterly to himself as ho recalled to mind his last appearance aa "Red Reuben, or the Strangled Babe," his debut as "(Jaunt 0 ibeon, the Bloodsucker of Bexler Moor," and tho furor he had excited one lovely June evening by merely playing ninepins with his own bones upon the lawn tennis ground. And after all this eome wretched modern Americans were to come aod offer him the Rising Sun lubricator and throw pillows at hia head ! It waa quite unbear able. Jiesides, no ghost in history had ever been treated in this manner. Accordingly, he determined to have ven geance, and remained till daynhi ia deop thought. III. Tho next morning when the Otia family met at breakfast, they discussed the ghost at some length. The U. S. minister was naturally a little annoyed to find that his present had not been accepted. "I have no wish," be said, "to do the ghost any personal injury, and I must say that, con sidering the length of time he has been in the house, I don't think it is at all polite to throw pillowa at him," a very just remark, at which I am sorry to say the twins burst into shouts of laughter. "Upon the other hand," he continued, "if he J really declines to nee the Rising Sun Lubricator we shall have' to take his chains from him. It would bo quite impossible to sleep with such a noise going on outaide the bed-rooms." For the rest of the week, however, they were undisturbed, the only thing that ex cited any attention being the continuul renewal of the blood stain on the. library floor. This certainly was very strange, as the door was always locked at night by Mr. Otis, and the windows kept closely barred. The chameleon-like color, also of the stain, excited a good deal of comment, borne mornings it was a dull (almost Indian) red, then it would be vermilion, then a rich .purple, and once, when they came down for faniily prayers, according to the simple rites of the Free American episcopalian church, they found it a bright emerald green. These kaleidoscopic changes naturally amused tho party very much, and beta on the subject were freely made every evening. The onlr per son who did not en'.er into tbe joke was lutie Virginia, who, lor some unexplained reason, was always a good deal distressed at the sight of the blood stain, and very pearly cried the morning it was emarald green. The second appearance ol the ghoet was en Sunday night. Shortlr after they had gone to bed they were suddenly aiarmed by a fearful crash in the hall. Rusbiner down stairs, they found that a large tuit of old armor had become detached from its stand, and had fallen, on the stone floor, while, seated in a high-backed chair, was the Canterviile ghost rubbing his knees with an expression of acute agony on hia face. The twins, having brousht their pea-shooters with them, at once discharged two pellets on him, with that accuracy of aim which can only be obtained by long and careful practice on a writing matsr, while the U. S. minister covered him with his revolver, and called upon bim, in accordance with Califomian etiquette, to hold up his hands. The ghost started up with a wild shriek of rkge and swept through them like a mist, extinguishing Washington Otia' candle as he passed, and so leaving them all in total darküess. On reaching the top of the staircase he recovered himself and determined to give bis celebrated peal of domoniac laughter. This he had en more than one occasion found extremely useful. It was said to have fnrned Lord Raker's wig gray in a single nigbt, and had certainly made three of Lady Canterville'n French governesses give warning before their month was up. lie accordingly laughed his most horrible laugh till tbe old vaulted roof rang and rang again, but hardly had tha fearful echo died away when a door opened and Mrs. Otis came out in a light blue dressing gown. "1 am afraid you are far from well," she said, "and have brought you a bottle of Dr. DoLoll's tincture. If it is indigestion you will find it a most excellent remedy." The ghost glared at her in fury and began at ouce to make preparation for turning himself into a large black dog, an accomplishment for which he was justly renowned, to which the family doctor always attributed tho permanent idiocy of Lord Canterville'a uncle, the Hon. Thomas Horton. The sound of approaching footsteps, however, made him hesitate in bid fell purpose, eo he contented himself with becoming faintly phosphorescent and vanished with a deep churchyard groan juat as the twins had come up to him. On reaching his room he entirely broke down and became a prey to the most violent agitation. Tho vulgarity of the twins and the gro?s materialism of Mrs. Otis were naturally extremely annoying, but what really distressed him most was that ho bad been unable to wear the suit of mail. He had hoped that even modern Americans would be thrilled by the eight of a Spectre in Armor, if for no more sensible reason, nt least 0'it of respect for their national poet, Longfellow, over whose graceful and attractive poetry he himself had whiled awar many a weary hour when the Caoterviflos were up in town. Besidss, it was his own suit. He had worn it with great success at the Kenilworth tournament and had beeu highly complimented on it by no less a person than the Virgin Queen herself. Vet when he had put it on he bad been completely overpowered. by the weight of the huge breastplate and btccl caique, and had fallen heavily on the stone pavement, barking both hia knees severely and bruising tbe knuckles of his right hand. For some days after this he was extremely ill, and hardly stirred out of his room at all, except to keep the blood stain in proper repair. However, by taking great care of himself, he recovered, and resoUed to make a third attempt to frighten the U. S. minister and his family. He selected Friday, the 17th of August, for his appearance, and spent most of that day in looking over his wardrobe, ultimately deciding In favor of a largo slouched hat with a red feather, a winding sheet frilled at tbe wrists and neck, and rusty dagger. Toward eveniug a violent storm of rain came on. and the wind was so huh that all the windows and doora in the old house shook and rattled. In fact, it was just such weather as he loved. His plan of action was this; He was to make his way quietly to Washington Otis' room, gibber at him from the foot cf the bed, and Btab himself three times in the throat to the sound of low music. He bore Washington a special grudge, being quite aware that it was ho who wna in tde habit of rtnioving tho fuuious Canterviile bloodstain by mcann of I'in kerton's paragon detergent. Having reduced tbe reckless and foolhardy youth to a condition of abject terror, be was then to LiQZzsi t4 the rcca occupied by tba

LT. S. minister and his wife, and there to place a clammy hand on Mrs. Otis' forehead, while he hissed into her trembling husband's ear the awful eecretsof the charnel house. With regard to little Virginia, be bad not quite made up bis mind. She had never insulted him in any way, and waa pretty and gentle. A few hollow groans from the wardrobe, he thought, would be more than sufficient, or, if that failed to wake her, he might grapple at tho counterpane with palay-twitchiog ringers. As for the twins he was quite determined to teach them a lesson. The first thing to be dona was, of course, to sit upon their chests, eo as to produce the stilling seoiation of nightmare. Then, as their buds were quite close to each other, to stand between them in the form of a green, icy-coli corpse, till they became paraiyztnl with and, finally, to throw oil the wmdintr sheet and crawl round the room with white, bleached bones and one roiling eyeball, in the character of "Dumb Daniel, or the Suicide's Skeleton." a role in which he had on more than one occasion pronounced n great effect, and which be considered quite equal to bis famous part of "Martin, the Maniac, or the Masked Mystery." At 10:30 he heard the family going to bed. For some time he was disturbed by wild fehriekscf laughter from the twins, who, with the light-hearted gayetv of school boys, were evidently amusing themselves before they retired to rest, but at 11:15 all w as still, and, as midnight sounded, he sallied forth. The owl beat against the window ?anes, the raven croaked from the old yew tree, and the wind wandered moaning round the house like a lost soul ; but the Otis family slept unconscious of their doom, and high above the rain and storm he could hear the steady snoriog of the minister for the United States. He stepped steathily out of the wainscoting, with an " evil smile on his cruel, wrinkled mouth, and the moon hid It face in a cloud as he stole past the great oriel window, where his own arms and thoso of his murdered wife were blazoned in azure and gold. On and on he glided, like an evil shadow, tho very

darkness seeming to loathe him as he passed. Once he thought he heard something call and stopped ; but it was only the baying of a dog from the red farm, and he went on muttering strange sixteenth century curses, and ever and anon brandishing tbe rusty dagger in the midnight air. Finally he reached tho corner of the passage that led to lucklosa Washington's room. For a moment he paused there, the wind blowing his long gray locks about his head, and twisting into grotesque and fantastic folds the nameless horror of the dead man's shroud. Then the clock struck the quarter, and he felt tbe time . had come. He chuckled to himself and turned the corner; but no sooner had he done so than, with a piteous wail of terror, he fell back and hid his blanched face in his long, bony bands. Right in front of him was standing a horrible spectre, motionless as a carven image and monstrous as a madman's dream ! Its head was bald and burnished, its face round and fat and white, and hideous laughter seemed to have writhed its features into an eternal grin. From tbe eyes 6treumed rays of scarlet libt, the mouth was a wide well of fire, and a hideous garment, like to his own swathed with its silent snows the Titan form. On its breast waa a placard with strange writings in antique characters, some scroll of shame it seemed, eome record of wild sins, some awful calendar of crime, and with ita right band it bore aloft a falchion of gleaming steel. Never having seen a ghot before, he naturally waa terribly frightened, and after a second hasty glance at tbe awful phantom he fled back to his room, tripping up in hisloiig winding sheet as he sped down the corridor, and finally dropping the rusty dagger into the minister's jack boots, where it was found in the morning by the butler. Once in the privacy of hia own apartment he flung himself down on a mall pallet bed and bid his face under the clothes. Aftr a time, however, the brave old Canterviile spit it asserted itself, and he determined to go And speak to the other ghoet as soon as it was daylight. Accordingly, just as the dawn was touching the hills with silver, he returned toward the spot where ho had first Uid eyes on tho ghastly phantom, feeling that. after all, two ghosts were better than one, and that by the aid of his new friend he might safely grapple w ith the twins. On reaching the spot, however, a terrible sight met his gaze. Something had evidently happened to the specter, for tho light had entirely faded from Ita hollow eyes, the gleaming falchion had fallen from ita hand, and it was leaning up against the wall in a strainod nnd uncomfortable attitude. He ruRhed forward and seized it in his arms, when, to his horror, tho head dipped off and rolled on tho floor, the body assumed a recumbent poature, and he found himself clasping a white dimity bedcurtain, with a sweeping brush, a kitchen cleaver, and a hollow turnip Iving at his feet! Unablo to understand this curious transformation, be clutched the placard with feverinh haste, and there, In tbe gray morning light ha read these foarful. words: YE OTIS G1IOSTE. Yk Ouh Tata iko 0iijlb Spoox. BavvAKB or Yk Im tatiokk. All OriiKHs Amt Coimkiubitk, The whole thing flashed across him. He bad been tricked, foiled and outwitted. The old Canterviile look came into his eyes; he ground his toothless gums together and, raising his withered hands high above bis head, swore, recording to the picturesque pbraseologr of the antique school, that w hen chanticleer had sounded twice his merry hornr deeds of blood would bo wrought, and murder walk abroad with silent feet. Hardly had he finished this awful oath when, frorc the red-tiled roof of a distant homestead, a cock crew, lie laughed a long, low, bitter laugh, and waited. Hour after hour he waited, but the cock, for some strange reason, did not crow again. Finally, at 7:30 the arrival f the housemaids made him give up bis fearful vigil. and he stalked back to his room, thinking of his vain oath and baffled purpose. There he consulted eeveial books of ancient chivalry, of which he was exceedingly fond, and found that, on every occasion on which this oath had been used, chanti cleer had alwava crowed a second time. "Perdition seised the naughty fowl," he muttered. 'I have seen the day when, with my stout spear. I would have run him through tbe gorge, and made him crow for me an 'twere in death 1" He then retired to a comfortable lead coffin, and stayed there till evening. continued next week.
