Brief Candles
by Coles, Manning
Two men, killed during the Franco-Prussian war of 1870, are permitted to return to the mortal world when two of their family in 1953 travel near where the two were buried. The two men cousins are brought back to help their young relatives who are in need of help. Along the way, the men and the pet monkey killed with them cause comedic incidences in which they manage to help more than just their relatives.
