Dorsett's Ghost.

Quite an interesting scene took place
in the room of the Alderman, Faux and
Dorsett combination last Friday night
The writer was suddenly aroused from
sweet repose by Prof Dorsett who in
tones signifying extreme inward fear and
horror but with determination in his ex-
preston and blood in his eye was hating
a burglar who had forced an entrance
into the room by way of the front door
which had been left open. The converse
ton between Professor Dorsett and the
burglar was substantially as follows:
Dorsett-Who is that?
Burglar-Silence.
Dorsett-Who is that say?
Burglar-Silence.
Dorsett-What is your name?
Faulk-Gust aroused) What's the mat
ter?
Dorsett-(Softly) Somebody's in this
room-I saw him standing in the door
in his shirt slos-v, -uvt 1t erv-'.. - go

Uninterrupted silence in the darkness
for one hour after which the fire springs

money in the crowd-and Mack Dorsett's
Ghost becomes matter of history.
