II watched and watched and wondered
what I'd better do, for he Was rather too
big for fellow like me to tackle"
"Why didn't you call Ms sooner2"
asked Hal.
"Wouldn't "a done any good, you see
He might "a made OF out of any of
these windows. Well, I watched, and
after he had mussed over tho drawers
for awhile and got hold of some breast
pins and things, he seemed TO think
he'd like TO take a look at Mrs. Hor-
toms silver spoons, for he went into that
pantry and heard 'em jingling. And
then says I: 'Now's my time And I
had that door locked on him quicker n
wink. Hear him now!'
The imprisoned burglar, after having
tried kick and blows on the door with
out avail, resorted TO entreaties 10 be let
out, declaring he had as yet gotten
nothing and would at once go peaceably
away.
THAT wouldn't do at ALL" said jack.
II don't 'spose Squire Horton ever had
ghost visiting In his house before and
he'll want to get better acquainted with
YOU"
What u pity such smart trick should
go for nothing--all for you, jack" said
Hal.
But Jack was soon done jesting as tho
boys realized the gravity OF the situa,
tion and consulted together as to what
should be done II was soon agre ed that
two of their number should hasten into
the village to obtain help in securing
the burglar while the rest of the party
stayed to keep watch over him.
He was promptly lodged in jail until
Squire Horizons return. When that
gentleman came to the inquiry as 70
who had saved the valuables In his
house, the party Of boys generously
gave Jack the full credit for his bravery.
But he insisted that without their help
the robber could not have been secured
until further assistance came, and the
Squire's liberal reward did not stop q,
Jack.
A week or two later the boys again
passed Squire Horizons house in tho
evening.
That's a good, warm, honest light
shining from those windows tonight,
said Archie, who had recovered from hi:
slight injury.
"Not bit like that sickly blue light
mo fear Of the ice not being safe,
said another boy, as they drew near the
pond.
mo" said Jack, II shant be COW

"Cowardl' said Hal, don't ever tall

Jack, you might have led me up to q
lannon's mouth that night and well
perhaps should have shown myself q
hero, but as for going into that house
as you did, all alone, horses couldn't "a
drawn me-"
Nor me-" "Nor me" Nor me-" came
in hearty agreement.
"Ol you're all great gooses," said
Jack, laughing. IF 1 had known JUS
what it was In there, perhaps I'd have
held back about going In. That fellow
might have given me rap over the
head that would have settled me, but
what harm could thin-air ghost do?"--

PALM OIL MAKING.
How the Commercial Article Is Produce
on the Gold Coast.

How the Commercial Article Is Produced
on the Gold Coast.
An interesting report comes from the
Government of the Gold Coast on the
palm oil industry of the West coast Of
Africa. In cultivating the palm ripe
nuts are scattered over the ground, well
raked, and are then covered lightly
with earth The planting takes place
in the rainy season. When tho young
shoots have grown about a foot they
are carefully removed In the evening
and transplanted at least fifteen feet
apart. The tree grows luxuriantly and
bears most abundantly at height Of
from ten feet TO twelve feet in damp,
semi-marshy soil. The supply OF nuts
fit for use is biennial and the most
abundant supply of commercial oil lie
obtained from the nuts during the
rainy season. The punches Of nuts are
cut down and placed in heap In the
air. where they remain for a week OF
ten days. The joints of the nuts are
thus weakened by decomposition and
they can be detached by simply beating
them against any substance.
When the nuts are collected those
with hard, unyielding pulp are placed
in hole about four feet deep which 10
lined with plantain leaves and with
palm leaves and earth. They are
allowed to remain for periods varying
between three weeks and three months,
until certain decomposition has taken
place, so that when removed the pulp
is soft, and appears as IL II had been
boiled. The nuts are now put IN 0
trough made by digging hole in the
ground and paving IL with rough stones.
Here they are pounded with wooden
pestles until the pulp is quite removed
from the surface of the hard nut
The whole is then removed from the
trough. put in heap, and the stones
taken out, leaving the oily fibrous pulp,
which Is put into pot with small
quantity of water, under a good fire,
and well stirred until the oil begins &c
melt out. The pulp Is then put into Q
rough net opened at both ends, tc
which are attached two or three short
sticks, by turning which In opposite
directions the oil Is squeezed out The
longer the nuts are under ground the
thicker the oil and the worse the quail.
ty. This alone accounts for the different
qualities OF oil exported from tho differ.
ent places along the coast. Other
methods are employed to produce the
oil for home consumption, but tina,
here described Is the mode usual in the
production Of the palm oil OF commerce.
