sat at the root of big oak some white
object glided swiftly and noiseless.y

made the cold chills run over me,
though I have no patience with those
who tell of visits or communications
with the departed.
II was determined to enlighten my
self and secured good saddle horse as
companion of my vigils. The second
night the ghost flew by and l galloped
in its wake at all the speed my horse
could command. A mile ahead the 'ap-

road and ended our mad race. Tying

was woman of stately proportions
wearing nothing but a daintily ruf1led
night robe. She leaned for brief
time over the hollow stump that had
been her evident destination, and then
turning mounted her flying machine,
which was a modern bicycle, and went
scorching back over the course she had
come. Again / followed and did not

nothing that did not naturally belong
there. Failing to find the thief in the
ghost I became member of the
Denzil household, ostensibiy as his pri-
vate secretary. My first discovery was
that the ghost was the beautiful Miss
Denzil. She was a somnambulist, and
in utter ignorance of the weird night
rides she had taken. But when told
of them the explanation was an easy
one. When she and her young lover
were children that hollow stump had
been the post office where their ardent
missives were mailed and called for.
The memory of those days was de
lightful one to her and the strange
mentor of her unconscious action
prompted her visits to the old spot.

SINCE MOLLY WENT.
IOWA

How bleak and bare the blue hills seem
Since Molly went away!
The dark has lost the rosy dream,
The sunshine left the day.
.the birds sing not as sweet as when
They saw the roses stir
And looked and listened in the glen
For the dear steps of her.
1t seems that for the bird, the brook,
There's never any May,
And that when Molly went she took
The world and all away!
/ sit here when the days begun
And feel the lonely place,
The sunflowers following the sun
And dreaming of her face. -H
And wonder why in shrub and tree
The sweetest birds are dumb;
While all the roses look at me
And whisper: win she conner"
didn't think 'twould seem so strange
That any heart would break;
But how this world of God can change
For one dear woman's sake!
One little woman. "Will she conner"
The rose says, day by day:
I answer not. My heart is dumb
Since Molly went away!

evening or look at little heap of cigar
ashes and identify the man who smoked
the cigar, I've seen q great deal that's
way out of the common.
can old gentleman named Denzil
called at my office one afternoon to en-
ploy my professional services. knew
him by reputation as a stern, grasping,
money making man who loved nothing
but his possessions and his beautiful
daughter. On her he had lavished
wealth, but had saddenCd her life by
preventing her marriage to a manly
young chap who was a fitting match
for her in appearance, attachments and
disposition. He was fast making a rec
ord in the world of business, but it was
rich old bachelor who had passed the
years of romance and enjoyment that
DenZl had elected to have as a son-in-
law. Even under the threat of disin-
heritance the girl would not yield to
this merccnary arrangement, the result
being a strained state Of neutrality
which left both aspirants for her hand
without any apparent hope of getting
it.
"My caller went direct to business.
I'm a constant and heavy loser because
of the theft of money AMI jewels from
my own house. he told me. Things

Lass you or any explanations to help.
You have the whole job without ray of
light thrown upon it, and if you find the
thief there will be no haggling over the
fee. 1t will be worth much to me to get
this worry off my mind. Burglars that
make no noise or marks and leave ones
house shut up as tight as drum tend
to shatter a mans nerves.
81 went at once into the country and
neighborhood where Denzil lived, pre-
tending to look for bit of land where
u could build within easy reach of the
city. Iput up at a little roadside tavern
much frequented in the evening by farm
hands. l was soon interested in their
gossip about ghost which they. de-
clared had been seen at different times
and by different people. Their awed
tones and scared faces fitted the sub
ject, and there seemed to be some sub
stantial foundation for the uncanny
story. One husky young fellow who
did not look as though he would be
easily frightened told of his encounter:

rock and ashes. There was an eruption
as the party, consisting of 81 persons,

and steam were seen issuing from the

fore there was time for fight a shower

struck Miss Fax Killingsworth AMI
