CHORUS.

CHORUS.
Exactly of size, boys,
Exactly of size:
SO don't jump at "a conclusion,
Nor always trust your eyes,
For things may seem as different
AS solid truth and lies
Yet be, when put together, boys,
Exactly OF a size.
Yet be, when put together, boys,
Exactly OF size.
You have seen the two old parties,
There is no doubt of that.
The woolly-eyed Republican,
The moSs-grown Democrat,
With histories so different
They stand out side by side,
One looking pusillanimOus,
The other grand and wise.
But appearance is deceiving,
And to your great surprise
You put them both together, boys,
They're exactly of a size.
These parties built their platforms
or old worm eaten planks-
Expressing quite ambiguously
Anathemas and thanks
On i'll ll-assorted entities,
From silver down to sin,
All worded most adroitly
To draw the voters in;
There seems to be SOON difference,
But II you're sharp and wise
And put them both together,
They're exactly OF a size.
And then, how soon there follow
Toe candidates of each
To Till the streets with torchlights,
The atmosphere with speech,
To tickle all the rabble
With their antiquated straws
And crack old mildewed chesnuts
Mid the widest OF applause,
You think they differentiate
Between their party ties,
But put them both together,
They're exactly of size.
Isn't this the greatest puzzle?
The most satanic game.
That things may seem so different
And yet be just the same:
And people are so blinded
AS never to compare
The robbery they sanction,
The Doodle that they share?
Let us leave this league unholy
And combat 1t till 1t dies,
For put them both together, boys,
They're exactly of size

Allen went on writing as if the violent
dancing and cursing at his back did not dis
turb him. This subsidized in a moment, and
he heard the ring Of silver dollar on the
dcsl. at which he was writing, the door
slammed spitefully, and the man with the
horsewhip was gone. A terrible noise with
out shortly afterward attracted the editors
attention. He looked through the window
and saw man leaping, dancing and yelling
on hilltop about hundred PAGES away,
swearing he was the best man on dirt. It
was the man with the horsewhlp from

the school teacher.
"Does That dark whiskered man make
frequent trips awayi"
81 suppose he does-it is seldom, how
ever, that any one ever sees him go away or
come back. For weeks at q time nc is not
seen, and then we know he is away from
the old house on the hill. Then all of u sud-
den he is discovered walking about the
big house, or even coming TO the village,
but making the acquaintance of no one.
Some people think that he is the chief of a
bandltti and goes away to his rendezvous
occasionally. Then there is an old mother
Tif1n who believes In witchcraft. She says
he is a wizard. and that the strange sights
seen and strange voices heard there so
often are the result of his wild incanta-
tions and invocations of the evil spirit.
have heard people say that they have heard
screams, shrieks and wild, demoniac laugh
ter from. within that old house, which al
most frozc the blood in their veins"
Allen, having witnessed some OF those
strange sights and heard some OF those
mysterious noises, did not think that she
was exaggerating them in the least. But
his strong common sense told him that there
was nothing Supernatural in all he had seen
and heard 1t could all be very easily ac-
counted for if properly understood. He was
not so much interested in the house and the
mysterious sights and sounds omanatlnS
from it as in the beautiful, mysterious
Bertha.
"Do you know any thing of the young
lady!" he asked.

expression fitted over her face which he
could not understand, unless it was a tinge
of jealous fear

was growing late, and she considered the
young editor free from any further danger
at present, Miss Lccthy Hopkins left the
ONCE. Aliens face was convulsed with
mental anguish, and, striking his desk with
his fist, he said:
This has gone far enough. Be it life or
death, misery or happiness, Heaven or hell
will probe that mystery will know al
before another sun rises. | will go to the
tall stranger and demand an explanation
even if he shoots me dead on his doorstep
Death is preferable to another night of mis-
cry and doubt"
With this desperate resolve fresh on his
lips and engraycn in his heart he seized
his hat, and leaving Toby to close the office
left the village and hurried up the old disusec
road to the great stone house on the hill.

CHAPTER XVII.

HOW TURKEYS POINT DEFEATED HERSELF.
When Allen Gray reached the house on
the hill, instead of going around it as he had
done on former occasions, he walked direct
ly up to the great front gate and tried to
enter it; but it was locked
His first thought was to scale the wall,
which he could have done by going to the
rear, but seeing a servant in the front yard
he called to him.
81 want to see your MASTER" he said
The servant, who understood some En-
glish, shook his head, saying:
"Ze monsieur gone-ze monsieur gone.
Monsieur no come-no come bon Jdur mon
sieurp' And turning about, went away.
Allen waited long while at the gate,
hoping he would see some one else to whom
he could appeal Darkness came over the
earth, and he was at last forced to leave.
Slowly and sadly he turned about and went
down the hill, his head bowed in thought.
"After all, am not a fooll" he said" Why
need / carel What can she be to me" But
1t was folly for him to attempt to drive he-
