Jackson is very superstitiOus, es-

the fear of seeing the mans ghost
several times. Last night two ne.

yelling a time or two, ran at him.

Jackson sprang to his feet with his
eyes fairly starting from their sock

and frothing at the mouth. Ply

his recovery. The boys have been

after the instrument was drawn
Mr.. Hall was taken dangerously

that by this act she would certain
