As turned to go down l caught sight OF

Celia had given me TO understand that no

But, before had descended three steps.

COOPERATIVE companies for the transac-
ton of business are being formed by the
farmers in several sections of Iowa Mem
bers of the associations are to purchase
goods at cost.

from twelve or more to ten hours per day,
in the building trades from eleven or
twelve TO nine or ten hours.
THE Union Steel and Iron Company are

Sjxty-fve nail machines will cut up the
plate.
THE output of the Baldwin locomotive
works for the year 1888 reached total of
736 locomotives, greater number than the
company has ever before built III one year
The percentage of heavy engines built was
also materially increased
THE Omaha Typographical Union has re-
solved that all municipal improvements be
done by the days work, instead Of allowing

ton Of the Australian system of voting.
THE Great Western Steel Rolling Mill and

after working two months for nothing, get
S250 a week. In candy factories the wages
of girls are from 81 to Sc a week. In the
California cotton mills the average pay of O

times as much as girls"
III. DE NoGELsANG, director of the Aus

abiding place OF "real ghost ANU
Cousin Celia had been showing me the
house, but stopped short on the LANDING,
refusing to go further.
Now, Uncle Remus, with his whole 1amliy,
disbelieved IN spiritual manifestations Win
a vengeance. Certainly, then, Ceila was not
cowardly. MOI there were other reasons
for her peculiar air as she preceded me

to the hall below Twas certain OF it; my
curiosity was aroused, was sure mys-
terv existed somewhere above the third
floor, and soon found myself planning to
investigate the matter, even IL had 70 VS.
it the apartment by night.
The family residing there, and of whom
Uncle Remus purchased the property,
could explain the mysterious sounds they
heard, but had said that "once very
wicked man lived there, who, after recelV-
ing visit from his brother, a wealthy man
of the East, suddenly went away, none
knew whittier After that the house and
grounds were held for sale through an
agent.'
How true this story was did not know
nor care Ny relatives pooh-poohed" the
whole Of il, as well as the visitatonS, and
why should / concern myself in the mattera
Ionly wished to find out the reason for Celia's
strange manner, and to see the contents of
the garnet chambers, and this | was deter
mined to do, by some hook or crook of fort
une.
And fate was Unexpectedly and unlindly
kind-if / may express it that way-sooner
than dared to hope.
1t was evening. Celia and were under
the trees, lettering about in the twilight,
discussing plans for the morrow, when a
man crossed the lawn and doffing his cap to
her said:
''There has been an accident over at the
Meadows this afternoon, Miss Lisle Mrs,
Glynford desires you to come over if you
can; it's her husband who is hurt. maam,

Now, Mrs. Glynford was an especial friend,
and of course Celia must go. She looked at
me- 60" said |, thinking of the third
story; Ego, by all means, for l shall get

read to Aunt Lucia, or, firing of both, re-
tire"
She kissed me fervCnfly at this, and ran
off to make ready for her good Samaritan
call. Presently she came back "Flossie,''
she said, ''don't take 1T into your head to ex-
plore the garnet chambers while / am gone;
it wouldn't be pleasant to go wandering about
Il fancied she shivered), ''besides, mamma
doesn't approve OF lights being carried

ton, you know" And she laughed nerv-
ously.

This satisfied her and she walked avvav
toward the house once more. | staid under
the trees until ten o'clock; then / went to
my room. As laid my watch in its case
