The girl closed the outside door, and
went up the stairs. DR.. Lampkin sat
down, watching his companions face
curiously. Hendricks remained stand
ing where he could observe the stairs
through the half-open door. He bent
towards the doctor.
"Pll do the talking. 1t is well that she
takes us for some one he is waiting
for. 1t may throw him off his guard,
unless he suspects-Hang it! 1 feel as
if ought to have gone up to his room"
He put his hand into his sack coat
pocket, and, with a cautious look into
the hall, drew out revolver and handed
it to Lampkin. 'Hide it, but have it
ready to draw. Remember, we don't
know what sort of man we are going to
meet, nor his humor. Let me manage
him, but if he should happen to get the
drop on me, come to my assistance"

Hendricks took another look into the
hall.

wanted treatment for stupidity. Some
thing is radically wrong with me. Sh!'
There was a sound of footsteps on the
floor overhead, clatter on the stairs,
and boy II or IL years of age, very
neatly dressed, came into the room hur-
riedly. he stopped short, and his eyes
widened in establishment.

A look of perplexity darted across the
face of the detective, and for moment
there was an awkward pause. Then
Hendricks said: ......

"That's my name, sir" said the boy,

and then ended with start. His glance
wavered under the sharp gaze of the de-
tective, whose face had undergone a
remarkable change. When Hendricks
spoke, his voice sounded to DR.. Lamp

''How do you figure that?" the newly

"Well, there's yourself, one day. two

BROKEN UP BY a SPOOK.
Wrath VIII Cause Abandonment of
Life-SavinE Station.


One of the life saving stations on the
beach 20 miles below San Lucia, Fla, is
to be abandoned, and it is stated on &C
count of a ghost that walks there, and
is not to be laid by any means at the
command of the men. The station is
state institution and has been main
tanned there mostly by the people to aid
shipwrecked mariners. as it is on a very
dangerous part of the coast. Two years
ago a vessel was wrecked near there
and only one passenger escaped, that
being a very handsome girl of about 49,
Will Smith and Henry Johnson, both
at the station, aided in her rescue. and
both promptly fell in love with her Last
year she married Smith, and in conse-
quence Johnson grew to be surly and
mOrose and seemed to think that he had
been Sighted. Not long after that the
young wife was missing one day, and
the week afterward her body was found
in the sound back of the station.

mind, although no suspicion was at
tached TO him. A month or so ago sto-
ries began to come up here of ghost
walking at the station, and shortly
after that came the story of how John
son had killed himself after confessing
to the drowning of Mrs. Smith.
Capt. Dodd, who tells the story, says
others had heard of this spirit wander
ing around, and he had seen what he
thought was a ghost twice on the beach.
It appeared to be the indistinct form
of woman floating through the air
few feet above the earth. clasping her
hands and weeping. II did not tell of
it for several days, until / found out
that others had seen it as well as myself.
Sometimes it came up near the station,
and twice [ heard wild and unearthly
screams at midnight" BY singular
coincidence each time Johnson was out
doors. He came in then with blanched
fdoe and staring eyes, and, rushing to
his bunk, plunged beneath the clothes

troll himself, but he hung his head in
silence. Hendricks repeated his ques-
ton, but still the boy would not reply.
He looked towards the hall, as if he
wished to escape. ..s
Seeing this, Hendricks stepped be-
tween him and the door.
ST may as we'll be plain with you, my
boy" he said. az am detective, legal
ly authorized to arrest anyone sus-
pected of law-breaking. A letter of
very grave Importance has been written
over your name. If you know anything
about it, and won't tell me, shall be
compelled to arrest you on suspicion"
The boy stared into Hendricks face
for an instant in abject terror; then he
burst into tears. He darted towards
the door, but the detective caught his
arm, and drew him, struggling, back
into the room.
Mammal! mammal" shrieked the
boy with all his strength, and he rolled
on the floor in Hendricks clutch and
beat the legs of his captor with his
fists. Just then a white-faced, middle
aged woman ran into the room from
the rear stairs, followed by the maid
who had admitted them. On seeing
her, and being released by the detective,

could only stare at the two visitors in

Hendricks bowed very low and STAN

the address of this house and over the
name of Frederick Champney. can't
think this little fellow could be guilty
of any misdemeanor, you know, madam,
but from his actions it is plain to me
that he knows something about the mat

"Fred!" The woman almost gasped
as she forced the white face of the bow
towards her own. Erred, do you know
anything of what this man is talking
about?" H.''
The boy darted towards her lap again,

Across the grave of long-forgotten
Once more my longing eyes looked into

Dimmed with the mist Of sad. regretful

Then swift from happy summer fields were
The mystic songs that love and sorrow
The while thy soft warm fingers clasped

Across the valley and the lonesome plain,
AS thus at last we stood, o friend of mine.

For old mad dreams by fevered Iongings

Swept their strange shadows DER the
dawning day,
And the white meadowlands of peace I
sought
Faded in gloom away.

Hhe same blue skies that bend above me

ALL SORTS OF POCKETS.

Brooches in 1911.

Thirty OF Them Made in n Pair of
Brooches in 1911.
Perhaps the best proof of the advance
OF the japanese in civilization is to be
found in their use of pockets. The peo-
pie of that country have usually six
or eight pockets cunningly inserted in
the cuffs of their wide sleeves. These
pockets are always filled with a curl
Gus miscellany. AS common as the
Irvine in the pockets of young Amer
leans is the prayer amulet written on
sheets of rice paper and composed by
the BONES. In accordance with their
faith, these amulets are swallowed like
a pill in cases of mental or physical
distress. Another essential seldom
missing is number of small squares
of silky paper. These are put to I'M
expected uses, such as to hold the stem
of lily or lotus, to dry teacup or
to wipe away tear. Among the Chi
nese and other nations a pouch is used
instead of a pocket. This was also the
case in western Europe in the middle
ages and for some time afterward. The
pouch was attached to the girdle along
with dagger and rosary. TWAS called
an aulmoniere with curious patterns,
gold and silk threads, coats of arms,
and religious sentences. A dramatist
of the time of Henry VIII. wrote:
From my girdle he plucked my pouch:
BY your leave he never left E1e-a penny.
Brooches, however, had pockets at an
early date. In an old play written about
1911 it is mentioned that a man had
his breaches plated as if they had 30
pockets. But pockets did not attain
their proper position until the adop-
ton of the modern style of mems gar
ments. With waistcoats great oppor-
tunity for pockets presented itself.
Later they were made very broad and
deep, and were covered with embroid-
cry and buttons. In the reign of George
III. waistcoat pockets reached such size
in England that they became objects
of ridicule, so that they soon began to
resume more moderate proportions.
