 Let us get up, mother," Helen whispered. I've can't stay here. O hear that--hear it!'
 It was great clanking of chains. in- termingled with yetls and paths, wind ing up with two pistol-shots in rapid succession.
 Mrs. Willis sprang up and bolted the door leading into the hall. Helen lit 8 candle with trembling fingers: and both, hastily dressed, sat holding hands, and shivering in silence.
 Until tardy daylight came they sat thus: except that once, when the weird noises swelled and waved in a deeper volume of imprecations and blasphem- ies, Mrs. Willis opened the great Bible on the stand, the precious family heir loom that was on the Mayfower when she anchored off the coast where Provincetown stands-and placed her her hands upon it pages, as if invok- ing its protection against the fiends that were raging through the house. Once Helen raised the curtain and looked out of the window. The night had grown foggy and dark.
 ':Let us slip out at the back door, mother," she whispered. I've can run over to Mrs. Tryon's, and get away from this awful place.
 Mrs. Willis half rose from her chair. A heavy step sounded on the stair. Tramp, tramp, tramp, came the foot falls down to the hall-tramp, tramp,

 Mrs. Willis was drowsily conscious that the clock was striking twelve. Her sleep was not sound for the next hour; the intelligence of her husbands 8 safety and the perplexing events of the afternoon and evening would not per- init the unbroken slumber that she craved and needed.
 But the soundest sleeper would have been aroused by the frightful disturb ance that rung through the house be- fore the clock struck again. Even her daughter, sunk in the profound rest of youth, health, and innocence, by her side, was instantly startled to wakeful- ness by it.
 A long-drawn cry, pealing out as though voicing the lowest depths of agony and remorse! It rose and fell and died away, leaving the very silence that succeeded horrible.
 It was surely from somewhere in the house. and surely not near by. Loud as it was, distinct as it was, there was something about it that suggested that walls and shut doors were between.
 The two women sat up, but said nothing. Their arms were about each ether; terror kept them silent. They listened i'll almost breathless suspense.
 The door between their chamber and the sitting-room was wide epeA, that leading into the hall was ajar. From this hall as we'll as from that above, all doors of communication with the old part of the house had been closed and barred. This Mrs. Willis remembered in the hours of terror that followed. and she derived some little courage from the thought,

A Great Athletic Mes ting.

A great athletic meeting will take place September IA when the worlds champion ship games of the Amateur Athletic Union will be held on Travers island, the grounds of the New York Athletic club. Since the amalgamation of the Amateur Athletic Union and the National Association of Amateur Athletes of America, the athletes have Q better chance to meet each other. Athletes are coming from England to take part, and the Americans are getting in great form to prevent the foreign champions from taking the prizes home with them. The all-round championship meeting will take place week before.

OLD-TIME BARTERIN0.

A Custom of Our Grandfathers That Has
 Fallon Into Disuso.
 ''There is not SO much bartering in prices nowadays as there was when first went into business for myself," said merchant to Utica Observer man the other day, "The time was when a merchant expected that every piece of goods that he offered for sale would be cut down in price by the per- sistency of his customers. It was expected and looked for, and we often named higher price for the goods than we really asked for them so we might drop to suit the whim of the bartering buyer. I do not know where the custom came from. only know that 1t existed and was very annoying. People would barter for hours over a small article. and often go out and in short time return and say they could buy it at Browns or Smiths for SO much less, and try and beat you down to the figure they named. Some men and women were noted for their bar. tering propensties.
 "1 remember one of those old fellows who used to barter for hours at time over com mon and small purchases I had A clerk who came here from Binghamton, and his first adventure with the old man was anus Ing. The clerk sold him about one dollar's worth in the forenoon. The next time our nard-hsted customer came the Binghamtou boy dropped . pleasant customer SO he might get chance to wait on him. Kick ory snlrtlng was asked for, and the clerk charged him thirty five cents a yard. The customer held forth about ten minutes. when the clerk excused himself, and, step ping back to the office, opened an envelope lying on the desk. Rushing back to his customer. who was rubbing the goods be- tween his thumb and finger, the clerk said: "Excuse me, but we have just received telegram from our Eastern correspondent. and these goods have raised ten cents a yard in the market; it win cost you forty. five cents now" The old man looked dumfounded for moment and offered thirty-fve cents. The clerk walked back to the desk, looked at the envelope again, picked up paper and pretended to glance at the markets, conversed in low tone with one of the book-keepers, and wont back to his customer with the statement that the goods were rising very rapidly in the market, and as we had only few pieces we could not think of selling it less than fifty cents yard, and the next customer that came would have to pay ffty-ave cents or sixty cents. The astounded farmer of- fered forty-hve cents, which the clerk &C., cepted after extorting g pledge that the buyer should not tell how cheap he got it.

How to Got Along Wen.

HOW 10 G0t Along Well. Pay as you go. Never "fool" In business matters. . Do not kick every one in your path. Learn to think and act for yourself. :: Keep ahead rather than behind the times Don't stop to tell stories in business hours.
 Have order, system, regularity and promptness.
 Use your own brains rather than those of others.
 Do not meddle with business you know nothing of.
 A man of honor respects his word as he does his bond.
 No man can get rich by sitting around stores and saloons.
 If you have . place of business, be found there when wanted.
 Learn to say no. No necessity of snap ping 1t out dog-fashion, but say it firmly and respectfully.
 Help others when you can, but never give what you can not afford to, simply because 1t is fashionable.

A STARTLING STORY.
TWO MEN WHO CLAIM THAT

The Story Believed to be a Myth
of the FIRST Water-Good
Reasons That 1t Is.
Is Isaac Frank yet among the

Is Isaac Frank yet among the
living
This is a startling question, but
it is one that has been asked more
than once in Audrain within the
past few weeks. Every reader of
this paper doubtless knew the
Frank family that lived in Mexico
for a number of years or has heard
of it. The head Of the family,
Isaac Frank, was for many years
the proprietor of a clothing store
in this city, and by attention to his
business he managed to accumu-
late Il competency. 1t is under
stood, however, that as the old
gentlcman's years increased. he
managed things badly and by va
rlous bad specuiationS somewhat
lesseued his financial worth. He
finally gave up lis business in
Mexico and moved to Arkansas,
settling in Little Rock. Here he
opened Il steam laundry and assist
ed by his son Aaron, drove a flour
fishing business. Mr.. Frank had
not long been a resident of Little
| Rock when he was taken i'll. Those
of his family who remained in
Mexico were apprised Of the TACT by
wire, but before they could reach
Little Rock Mr.. Frank was dead.
He carried ST, 900 in life insurance
and it is this fact that gives rise to
the startling question at the head OF
this article. It has been rumored
that Mr.. Frank did not die, but
merely got out ofthe waw in order
that the insurance money might
pass into the hands of his family
The numerous friends and &C.
qRaintances of the late Mr.. Frank,
together with the LEDGER, do MOI
believe this wild story. There are
four prominent reasons that 1t /:

attended Mr.. Frank during his i'll
ness certities to his death second
his sol Aaron was with him at hi.
death third, Mr.. Frank nor any @
his family would not be gully o
such a piece of dishonesty ; fourth
! the amount of the insurance was al
together too small to warrant sucl
a great risk.

county were in Little Rock recent,
and claim to have seen MIR. Frank

CLARK S BILL.
TO Tax Paid up Life Insurance
Policies.

Tot:s uais0s Of tt9r Ledger.
JEFFERSON CITY, January 10.
In regard TO your inquiry IL TO the
bill | introduced ia the Legislature,
'~'relating to taxing life policies"
will say the bill does not eontem-
plate the taxation or molestation Of
life policies that are due and paya-
bic nj death; but there is a class of
policies that are taken ont by the
wealthy citizens Of Missouri and
other States, for the purpose alone
of making investments, which are
paid up in Il stipulated number Of
years and pay a dividend as from
bank stock or any other like III
yestments. Some OF the reasons
urgyed by these companies upon
our citizens for making such invest
ments are, that it is a very profit
able investment; that it is a very
safe investment. and that the in
vestment is relieved from taxation.
There are millions of dollars in
vested in this way by the citizens of
our State for the above named
reasons. Some men have more
money invested in this manner than
any citizen of our county is worth.
This question comes TO me in this
way: "Shall /, as Il representa-
tive of an agricultural county, set
still and allow millions of dollars
to be covered up III this manner by
the wealthy of the State, thereby
shifting the burdens that they
should justly bear upon my con-
stituency who not only have to pay
tax upon what they own, but upon
what they owe?' Yours Truly,
c. F. CLARK.
