But He Will Go

	Frank PEARSALL of Millville on Sunday night paid his customary visit to the girl he adores.  
The midnight hour came and with it the girl's advice to the effect that pater familiars objected to 
long sittings.  'Twas hard to part, but Frank donned his ulster and with natural reluctance went out 
into the darkness and wended his way homeward.

	He had traversed about forty rods where there appeared before him a ghost.  The lad was rooted 
to the spot.  The ghost said nothing and Frank was disinclined to open the discussion.  The vision 
finally ventured to caution the lad to "Depart in peace; go and see that girl no more."

	Recovering himself, PEARSALL ran wildly for home and has concluded that he and the girl are not 
destined to travel life together.  An Eagle reporter interviewed PEATSALL yesterday and learned 
substantially the foregoing particulars.

	"The ghost," Frank said, "it came out of the Great Neck woods, and I'm satisfied that the girl 
and I must part company.  The vision," he said upon further inquiry, "was about six feet in height, 
clothed in a long, white garment, and seemed to float toward me.  Its hands were outstretched.  Scared! 
Was I? I rather reckon I was."

	Some of the lad's neighbors have decided to ferret out the ghost  mystery and are prevailing upon 
PEARSALL to make another call upon his heart's idol.  He has appointed Sunday night for the next seance, 
and the boys have decided to bring the spirit to bay.
