OVERAWED THE JANITOR.
Two Flat-Hunting Young Women
Finally Succeed in Solving
Puzzling Problem

They had been fiat-Eunting-they be
ing two young women, self-supporting
whose lives were directed toward the
seemingly impossible task of raising
public aesthetics by way of the pen
and brush Their greatest fault was
in being poor; their greatest glory in
being young and good-looking and fond
Of impossible situations.

From the point of view of the fiat

They were asked for references be-
fore they had time to state their wants;
they were snubbed, neglected; shown
to impossible back flats up endless rows
of stairs whose height correspondent to
the loftiness of the rent. They were
conscious that they did not suit the
august parsonage who presides over the
flats and for whom the homely word
Janitor seems ridiculously inadequate

They arrayed themselves in their

two ornate lorgnettes of antique silver

They interviewed janitor. Before he
had time to follow in the steps of his
predecessors they transtixed him with
carefully raised lorgnettes. 1--WE are
looking for an apartment, but before
we do so we wish to be assured of the re-
spectability of the house, of yourself,

The janitor gasped, then began to
apologize for his own existence, for the
people in the house, for the whole
street. He would have even erased the
city from the map of the world if by so
doing he could have soothed their au-
gust disapproval-that is, seemingly.

shelter he was to step out suddenly and
confront Billy vixen he came along.
Billy was not long in coming, for he
was as anxious for the fun as the boys
were. He felt angry to think that they
doubted his bravery, and he was indig-
nant to think they would attempt to
play such trick on him. He wanted to
convince them, if not himself. of his
fearlessness, and he also wanted to give
vent to his resentment in a way that
they wouldn't forget very soon.
He came up the road whistling. just
as he was opposite the stump up rose
a tall figure in white.
The boys fully expected to see Billy
run as fast as his legs would carry him.
But he did no such thing. He stopped,
stared hard at the figure in white, and
then drawled out, solemnly:
''Be you a ghost?"
I'm the ghost of Capt. Kidd" was
the reply, in a sepulchral voice.
Capt. Kidd was one of Billy's pet
heroes.
''Be you looking for some of the gold
you buried?" asked Billy.
"Yes!" answered the ghost. eff you'll
dig by the old oak tree down by the
bend in the river, maybe you'll find
pot of it,
"I'll see about it," answered Billy.
But if you're Cap'n Kidd. l think I'd
ought to thrash you for your wicked
doings. I'm going to-"
And, like a flash, Billy sprang at the
ghost and caught him by the arm. He
had long, tough stick of hickory in his
hand, and he laid it over Frank Shout
ders in way that made him yell with
pain.
Don't, Billy, don't!" cried Frank,
trying to break away, but Billy's strong
hand held him in a grasp of iron. Let
me go, please! l did it just to have
some fun with you'll"
"And I'm having some fun with you,
just as l said would if ever | saw a

When Billy felt satisfied that he had

makes his supposed method seem the

Watkins shows how, by inclined planes
of earth, stone, blocks, or slabs of
enormous weight could be put in place,
levers and pry bars being employed in
raising them, and that the Pyramids
could have been easily constructed by
this simple means, the earth which had
been used for the inclined planes hav-
ing been filled into the pits from which
it was taken, leaving the ground as
