Barney was sitttng-at his vigil and so
far all had been we'll l''
The face in the coffin cleaned whittier
through the darkness. The rats squeak
ed as it famine were upon them aud
they smelled dead flesh The thought
made him shudder He got up and
walked about, but something made a
slight noise, as if somebody was behind
him, and he put his chair with its back
against the wall, and sat down again.
He had been hard at work all day, aud
at last, in spite of everything. he grew
sleepy. Finally hc nodded aud snored.
Suddenly it seemed as if somebody
had touched him He awoke with a
start and saw nobody near, though in
the centre of the room stood white
figure. ..asi..t,s..,.q
Course you, get out Of this !" he ex-
claimed in fright, using the first words
that came to his tongue
The figure held up its right arm aud
slowly approached him. He started to
his feet, The specter came nearer,
pressing him into the corner.
"Tho d--l take yodsv" cried Bar
ney, in his extremity.
Involuntarily he stepped back still
the figure advanced, coming nearer and
nearer, and extending both arms, us if
to take him in ghostly embrace. The
hair started up on Barney's head (; he
grew desperate, and just as the gleam-
ing arms would have touched him he
foil upon the ghost like whirlwind,
tearing off tho sheet, humping, pound
ing, beating and kicking, more and
more enraged at the resistance he met,
which told him the truth.
AS tho reader knows he was big and
Fritz was little, and while he was pun
melting the little tanner numerically
and Fritz was trying in vain to get
lunge at Barney's stomach, to take the
wind out of him, both plunging and
kicking like horses, they were pctrified
at hearing a voice cry:
Take one of your size, Big Bar
ney!"
Looking around they saw the corpse
sitting up in his coffin. This was too
much. They released each other aud
sprang for the door. They never knew
how they got out. but they ran home
in hot haste, painting like stays.
It was Barbara herself who came and
opened the door npon Ernest the next
morning.
"lts very early; one more little
nap" said he, turning over in the coffin.
So sbe married him, and though she
sent Fritz and Barney invitations to the
wedding they did not appear. II they
disco vered the trick they kept the knowl-
edge to themselves, and never willingly
faced Barbara's laughing eyes again.

THE ELEPHANT HOOK.
How tho Huge Oundruped Is Kept Under
Control.

Control.
The elephant is managed by means
apparently cruel, for in his hands the
driver always carries an iron instru-
ment shaped like boat hook, having Il
sharp spike projecting several inches
beyond the curved hook. The elephant
hook is about twenty inches long and
weighs from four to six pounds, and is
really formidable weapon.
1t is used with what appears to be
Jhcrciless severity, for the beast is
urged to greater speed by digging the
sharp spike into it's head and held back
{ by Juggling at it's ear with the hook.
Cruel as the spike is, it is the only
method of managing the animal, for
without his hook mahout is us help
less as donkey driver without stick.
The knowledge that his rider is thus
armed is sufficient to keep the refrac-
tory elephant in order, while without
it the animal might, On sudden provo
cation drag the rider from his seat and
,trample him under foot. The use of
the hook, however, always S. ms to ex-
cite the elephants indignation, for
every application is followed by grumb-
! ling remonstrance.--N.Y Sunday Jour

oLD-TlME PUMPKIN PIE.
The Proper Way to Mako the Genuine Ar
r'tai tlclo.

ahc Proper Way to Mako the Genuine Ar
ticlo.
IL Is rarity to find a pumplsin-pic
nowadays properly made and baked as
~ used to be before people were too
much In hurry to do things as they
should be done. 1t is difficult to find
any semblance between the flnvorless
or ovcr-spiced pies now prepared from
pumpkin and the delicious old-timc pie.
Inc trouble begins with preparing the
pumpkin, which is usually boiled up
quickly in abundance of water in such
manner rs to take all flavor from it.
There is but one way to cook pumpkin
properly. Cnt it into long strips, re-
move the seeds and inside pulp and pare
these strips. Put them into n porcc
laln-lined iron saucepan, if you have
one, or any thick saucepan, in about
two inches depth of boiling water. A
1our-quart saucepan filled with sliced
pumpkin will require less than quart
OF water. Cover the saucepan, and the
moment the water begins to boil set it
back where it's contents will merely
simmer, being careful that it is covered
oil the time and that the water does not
DOLL away fast enough to require that
more should be added After the pump
kin has slowly cooked in this steam for
Six hours, it will be soft and tender; all
the water will be absorbed and it will
be an entirely different vegetable from
the same thing boiled half an hour or
so in abundance of water.
A well-madc pumpkin pic is much
better than II squash pie, frequen
makeshift for it even in New England.
After cooking pumpkin properly it is
not necessary to wiring it in cloth,
thus extracting all it's flavor and lcnv-
ing dry pulp behind. 1t should be
simply mashed and strained through
the colandcr. Measure out two cups of
this strained pumpkin, add four cups of
sweet milk, half Il teuspoonful of salt,
two tcaspoonfuls of ginger one Of
mace, an even teaspoonful of cinnamon
and a little nutmeg. Beat up five eggs
with about three-quartcrs of IL cup of
sugar and beat them into the other in
! gradients. Add, last of all, cup of
cream and taste the custard to sec if it
is sweet enough. Line rather deep
carthern pie plates with plain paste,
brushing it over with the white of an
I egg. Put around each pie n rim of puff
paste, if you wish, and fill it with the
prepared pumpkin. Bake the pics
rather slowly till solid in the center in
an oven well heated ut the bottoln.-

Horse Thieves.

From the Chambersburg Reposi-
tory Of September 16:-
There is evidently a gang of horse
thieves operating in the Southern
end of the county. Four horses
hHve been stolen within ten DAYS. the
first from Aaron Shank, near Waynes-
boro, the second from Mrs Hess at
New Franklin, the third from James
McFerren of near Waynesboro and
the fourth on Friday night, from the
stable of Mrs. Annie Hade, widow of
Emanuel Hade at Five Forks.
The horse stolen from Mrs. Hade,
was valued at $50, and the other
horses were all fine ones. The thief
who took Mrs. Hade's horse left a
note i'll the stable, saying that he
was Southerner, WAS going across
the Potomac and that if she made
much fuss about it he would return
and burn her barn The fellow who
took the McFerren horse left SINH
lar cheeky note.
Mart Grove of New Franklin form
erly well known horse dealer was
arrested IN Frederick this morning
on the charge of stealing Mrs. An
ME Hade's horse at Now Franklin
on Friday night
On Saturday Grove shipped two
horses from Waynesboro to Balti-
more. They were on box car and
consigned to Fox & Son. One was
said to be the Hade Sorrel and the
other a bay mare which Grove is
said to have stolen near Frederick
on Thursday night and ridden to
Waynesboro.
Messrs. ID. NJ Lowery and IHezekiah
Shank who went to Baltimore Mon
day morning to look for the missing
horses found the Hade horse in the
stable OF Fox & Son to whom Grove
had shipped the horse from Waynes
