in order to let the fresh air circu-
late in the building. Some peo-

The Democratic press is already
beginning to talk politics and Hon.
Chas. J. Boatner is mentioned as
the next probable candidate for
governor. These papers are very
foolish to lose time and space dis
cussing politics, they should know
that Foster owns the election ma
chine and those who manipulate
the box, and the best and only
thing Boatner has to do if he is
serious about his candidacy is to
ask boss Foster If he is tired OF
the governorship, and If he is, if he
will put him in the governors
chair. Foster is the man, the peo-
pie are his plant tools, and unless
they have the nerve to talk with
gun powder to rid the state OF
him and his gang, they will lose
their time and money by going
into politics, except it be merely
as pastime.

hours. occasionally striking match Il
note the passage of time. Finally, wheI
it was nearing the hour of 3, he woult
start up every little while from doze
Finding at length that he must sleep
with commendable perseverance he still
resolved not to abandon his self imposed
task. In his dilemma he decided upon q
bold plan, which was to lock the door
Of Lewis room and tip his chair back
against it. Thus he might sleep, rather
uncomfortably, but yet with the knowl.
edge that Lewis must disturb him to
pass him. When he awoke again, it was
once more with the consciousness of a
loud noise near him, but this time il
continued after he had jumped up. II
was now day and quite light. AS he
stood rubbing his eyes, trying to collect
his senses, upon reoollecting what had
occurred he was astonished to find that
the noise, which still continued, was oc-
casioned by some one within the room
shaking the door which he had locked
In wonder he turned the key and was
amazed to see John Lewis standing be-
fore him. They looked at each other a
moment in silence, and then Lewis said:
GOOD morningl What was the mat
ter with the door? could not open it. !"
Burrows recovered himself at once, and
replied:

down stairs and heard you trying to get
out. Seeing key in the door, turned
it, but as turned it more than once

want to fasten me up? This is the only
exit, as the other door leading into the
library is locked"

stammered Burrows, little confused.
What could he think? How was it that
Lewis had come out of this room, when
he was sure that he had found it empty
the night before and had subsequently
kept guard all through the lonely hours
of the early morning? He left Lewis
and went into the library. Going to the
door which opened from that room into
the apartment which Lewis had just
quit. he found that it was locked, as
he had stated. Moreover, the key was
In the lock on the library side. Bur
rows unlocked the door and entered, Gu
rious to determine whether Lewis had
slept in the bed or not, and upon inves-
tigation decided that he had. More
than ever puzzled, he regretfully con-
cluded to await until Mr.. Barnes should
arrive, and seek his assistance in solving
this mystery. AS it was yet early, he
went to his room and was soon sleeping
soundly.

There was the supernatural possibility
that the ghost of the corpse in the ad-

at once went TO the floor below. He en-,
tered the chamber which he knew haC

been disturbed. Was his last surnisC
correct, then, and was it Lewis whom
he had heard? If so, what was he doing

where was he at the present moment?
This last question he would endeavol
to answer, for, if he had just heard hin
walking, he must be in the house. But
