myself-myself and the typewriter.
As I looked at it, the keys were pressed
down by an invisible hand, Ind the
letters struck the paper. I was drawn
toward it by the unknown force hat
had mastered West. I tried to lold
back; but it drew me like a mag1et,
and as I came near the machine I
knew Kelsall was there. I could teel
his presence, cold, cold in death; ind
the invisible fingers moved and the
letters clattered down. I looked over
n read what they were writing; and
as I read, my heart seemed to shnd

could not move away. There I hal to
stand, just as West had done, by hat

With a terrible cry I burst from hat
fendish room-and awoke; and found
myself standing by my bedside, trenb-

my face.

stirred up the dying fire, made myself
a stiff glass OF hot spirit and her
turned into bed again. This tine ]

Mice Devoured His whiskers.

William Rexroat, farmer living near
Macomb, ILL.,, was robbed of his whis-
kers while asleep. lie retired as usual,
taking his whiskers to bed with him.
During the night mice approached Mr..
Retreats pillow, seized upon his beard,
gnawed a lot of it off. and with it
thatched their humble home. Mr.. Rex
roat slept on, wholly unconscious Of
the bold robbery. When he awoke in
the morning he found himself out OF
balance, nearly one-half of his beard
was gone, and it was missing from one
side. Hence the half crop of whiskers
that he harvested. He had to have him
self balanced up.
