This hell is supposed to be nearer to earth than I would care to have it, and to be peopled with spirits, spooks, hobgoblins, and all the fiery shapes with which the imagination of ignorance and fear could people that horrible place; and the bible teaches the existence of hell and this big devil and all these little devils.
But after losing three nights' sleep and the society of his friend, he began to be a little impatient, and to think that the thing had gone far enough. You see, while in a way he was fond of ghosts, yet he liked them best one at a time. Two ghosts were one too many. He wasn't bent on making a collection of spooks. He and one ghost were company, but he and two ghosts were a crowd."
Sure enough, there it was, and Hortense fastened it hastily about her neck and ran down to breakfast, which wasn't ready. "Aunt Esmerelda wouldn't cook breakfast this morning, and Mary is preparing it," Grandmother explained. "Aunt Esmerelda is afraid of spooks," said Grandfather, laughing. "Indeed, I don't know how to explain it myself. What do you suppose we found this morning?
The cow-punchers declar's they hears the spooks go scatterin' about the room as late as the night before I trails in.

"Wonder what's inside," said Clint in a low voice. "Spooks," suggested Amy, none too bravely. "Shut up! Would you go in?" "Sure, I would. Come on." Very cautiously they edged past the crazy door, their hands stretched warily ahead. There was a sudden scurrying sound from the darkness and they jumped back and held their breaths. "P-probably a rat," whispered Amy. "Or a squirrel," said Clint.
This time he had dreams in plenty; and finally roused from one, of beautiful gardens peopled by harmless "spooks," to a sound of sweet music. By his watch he saw that it was eleven o'clock and remembered that it was Sunday.
Yet let me whisper I have heard that Folks who do not know so very much, will tell about "goblins," "spooks," and "catch-ums," and whenever there is talk about the mermaids and the sirens, I think of those Folks who believe in creatures that "never were."
"By God!" he said harshly, "this is a trick, and it looks to me as if you were in it." "Perhaps I am," the other said, looking him straight in the face and speaking in a tone which had something of contempt in it.
