Although the passage or tunnel by

obliged to own to himself as he stood
upon the frozen river that he was real

ghostly assassins had, after all, turned
out to be nothing.
Just what he had expected would be

story was related to him by the driver

footsteps leading into the house and
no return-so that it seemed to Darrent
there was but one solution or rather
two-either the murderer was still in the
building, which was far from probable,
or had escaped by secret passage, and
the latter had proved to be the case.
And yet, after all, he unused, as he
made his way across the grounds back
to the front of the house, it had proved
his theory that the murderer Of old

Grange. Who should know the ms and

marx Twain and Hi. ryjama..

Mark Twain has an intense dislike
for clothes, and if it were possible
would remain in his pyjamas day in
and day out And whenever he can do
so he eats breakfast i'll them, receives
his friends and works in them. His ia
vorite mode of writing is to lie fiat on
the floor Oh his stomach in his pyjamas,
with pipe in his mouth. When on leo
ture tours, he never gets out Of his
sleeping clothes until it is time to go to
hall or opera house. When the fit
strikes him, he likes to exercise, and
then with his customary shamble will
shuttle along for miles and exhaust his
most athletic companion. But he feels
far ,nore at home in his pyjamas than
i'll street suit or evening clothes, and
IN them he remains as great par: II

him. Ladies' Nome Journal
