Sacramento, which mainly through his
effective pitching defeated the Balti-

Washington club without run and
with only one hit in his first National
League game on April 18 and shut out
the champion Bostons without a hit or
run on April %. On May 8 he again re-
tired the B0stons without a run. but
the champions secured two hits of his
delivery. Among other notable pitch
ing feats by Hughes in 1898 were one
two-hit, two three-hit. three four-hit,
and three five-hit games. He won %,
lost II and tied one game last season,

"This rooms haunted" Kate said
bluntly, as she shrugged her shoulders
| and looked round as IL expecting to
see something spring from one OF the
corners.
"Who haunts it?" Miss Rollins
asked, with emile at the girls fool
ishness.
"a man killed himself here once;
they found him in that big closet.
They say he comes back here when
ever the room isn't occupied. They
say he stays mostly in the closet, but
he rattles the door-knob sometimes
as II he wanted some one to let him
out"
"Who told you all that nonsense?
You look too sensible girl to talk
about ghosts!"
II know two girls who used to live
here and they told me they'd seen
him. Mrs. Bowen discharged Mamie
O'Shea for talking about It,"
"She did quite right. I'm not going
to tell her that you have talked about
1t, but I'd advise you not to say such
things any more"
Don't YOU believe in ghosts,
ma'am?"
Certainly not"
II wouldn't come in this room alone
after dark for anything. Id be afraid
O. my life!"
You're q foolish girl. You must
not believe all the nonsense other girls
tell--you'll get yourself in trouble talk
| ing this way to Mrs. Bowen's dodgers;
you ought to know better"
The girl was silenced, II not con-
vinced. and Miss Rollins heard no
more Of the ghost until the night
when she saw him for herself.
That was the night before Christ
mas. She came in late from the
theatre-she had invited Mrs. Bowen
to 60 with her and they sat in the
parlor awhile talking over the play

Inns started to go up stairs.

hand on the banisters. Il want Kate
to mall it for ME early in the morn

Go Into the back room II you like;
1t is warmer than yours and there's

Miss Rollins thanked her and with
q laugh Mrs. Bowen went on:-"You
don't take stock in ghosts, suppose!
They used to say that room was
haunted, but nobody's troubled the
place since I've had the house. A mar
did commit suicide there once"

She shuddered a little as she seated
herself at the old-fashioned desk and
commenced to write. She glanced
at the closet door several times and
a creepy feeling came over her. The
