train coming in was the first to reach the
meeting place and rolled in onto the

open to let the south bound pass on the

brakeman Of the northbound stood at the
switch, n when the last Pullman had
passed him, he threw the lever, bringing
the rear trucks Of the last car into the
standing engine. The movement threw
the north bound train back twenty feet.

Il was in the second car said Dr.
Odell. when the smash came. There
was a terrific jerk which brought me up
standing, then the car went pounding
over the ties and rocking from side to
side only to gradually come to a stand
still. 1t was over before we could real
ize what had happened. The engineer
n f1remen stuck to the engine, which
was turned across the track, but did not
so over. They reversed and threw on
the air the instant the rail gave way, and
perhaps 1t was their prompt action that
saved u.s."
James Hayes, one of the deputy clerks
IN the district court. was on the train.
With Miss Madge Manning. a teacher in
the public schools, he occupied a seat in
the car next to the engine. When the
accident occurred Mr.. Hayes was doing
but the rumble Of the wheels of the coach
over the ties and cobble stones disturbed
his slumber and he jumped up and start
ed for the door. After taking a few steps,
however. he turned and started back for
Miss Manning. but just then the coach
upset n threw the young lady three or
four seats to the rear. She was cut
about the head, but was otherwise un-
injured. Mr.. Hayes escaped with no more
serious injury thar a rude awakening.
In describing his experience to-day he
said hi conductor, brakemen n all

DOUBLE BOND
Of RECEIVER
THOMAS M'LAUGHLIN REQUIRED
TO FURNISH sURETIEs FOR
10000.
ORDER APPLIED FOR
By PARROT COMPANY.
Earnings Of the Nipper Are Growing
Receiver Opposed Application
for Increase.

Int motion filed In court a few weeks
ago to increase the BOND of Receiver
Thomas Mclaughlin for the Nipper mine
was heard by Judge Clancy today and
resulted In the making of an order in
creasing the amount from $40, 900 to $780,
600. The receiver was given until Septem-
Der 10 in which to p and file a new
bond.
The motion was made by the defendant
in the suit of Michael Hickey ct al. VS..
the Parrot Mining mpa and argued
by Attorneys Mcdonald and D'Gay Stiy-
ers for the defendants while John B. Nc
Clernan espoused the cause of the receiv-
er. The Parrot representatives presented
to the court the report of Mr.. Mclaughlin
showing a balance Of about 50, 5000 on
hand and $1,000 due, and expressed the
belief that the sum would likely increase
to such proportions that a bond Of $780,
600 ought to be given to secure the de-
PENDANTS against liens for labor and ma
terial used in operating the mine.
MI. McClernan objected to sue a large
increase, saying he had been informed
that other receivers were operating prop
critics in Butte and one had shown a bal
ance of 500, 900 in bank, yet he had not
been compelled to give an exorbitant
bond. Unless the defendants could show
that McLaughlis accounts We're not COR
rect or that he intended to skip between
! suns with the money III his possession 1t
was not fair to assume dishonesty on his
part.
"When I appointed Mr.. Mclaughlin 1
thought him honest and l have had no
reason to change my opinion" said the
judge. But to satisfy all parties I will
make the amount $40. 900 and give Mr..
Mclaughlin until October / to file a new
bond
Make it the middle of September, your
honor" said Mr.. Mcdonald.
I'VE can give It by Ina: time. !ust as
we'll as by October L." said Mr.. McCler-
nan.
The judge then changed the time to
September Is.

from the windows of the Hall, leaving
its somber bulk sharply outlined
against the pallid skies.
AS a tired child might have sobbed
itself to sleep, Mother" Spillpan pass
ed from tears to slumber. Propping
the gray head tenderly against it's
silken chair rest, Miss Malvina softly
escaped from the room. She was in 3
state of restless, nervous tension.
She wandered as far as the cottage
gate, pulling a gaudy zinnia and gay
princves feather in transit. only to
throw them away. She leaned over
the low gate and peered anxiously
down the dusty road.
Over an hour now since the minister
and the lawyer had gone by in such
haste and still no sign Of poor Toms
coming
Colonel Rufus Broxton was the 'big"
man of the neighborhood. His sudden
illness had aroused great local inter
est. Personally she had none other

but uncalled for. Mr.. Broxton has left
his sons interests exclusively in my
hands. He knew me long enough to
judge whether or not he was safe in
doing so. We will drive on now, if you
please, Olivia, my dear"
Olivia nodded her pretty head at Miss
Malvina. 'I'll be back for you in 20
minutes, Miss Mally, so you be ready.
My ponies don't like standing still any
more than l do. Don't mind papa's
rude snub. He's as cross as bear to-
day" And with gay little laugh she
gave a slight shake Of the scarlet
reins, frightened her hold upon them,
chirruped musical encouragement to
her little thoroughbreds and was off.
The flashing equipage disappeared
from Miss Malvina's view in u fresh
cloud of golden dust.

CHAPTER II.
THE MISSING PAPERS.


The next morning Miss Malvina-
'fence angling" as she contemptuous-
ly called her own efforts to keep up
with local happenings-saw coming to-
ward her from the Vaudeville direc-
ton something almost too bright and
vivid for that somber day of sorrow.
1t was smart little basket phaeton,
drawn by two satin coated ponies. The
morning sun, shining through the
clouds Of dust that rose in the wake
of eight swiftly pattering hoofs, con
verified it into golden hued mists sur
rounding the swift revolving wheels Of
the chariot. Miss Malyina gave little
gasp.
"Elijah's chariot must have looked
just that-a-way''-Mi Malvina's art
conceptions were drawn largely from
chromos. it is to be feared-"only," she
modified, "Elijah's chariot wasn't har-
messed to two satin coated ponies nor
driven by an extremely pretty girl in
a saucy sailor hat and mannish shirt
waist. Looks like she had monopo-
lized all the sunshine there was to
spare. Our Heavenly Father is mighty
good to some folks
She for whom such celestial partial
ity was claimed was Miss Olivia Mat
thews. She certainly made very vivid
spot of color ON the dun landscape as
she bore rapidly down upon the patient
figure at the gate.
Her yellow hair doated away from
her white banded sailor hat in FURNISH
ed beauty. She occupied the drivers
seat in her tiny phaeton and guided
the chestnut ponies that were harness
ed to it with a spirited grace quite be-
yond her years. She was only IA.
BY her side, with his long legs drawn
we'll up to accommodate his dimen-
sions to those of the phaeton, sat Law
yer Matthews.
When the flashing little turnout had
wheeled fairly into her line of vision,
Miss Malvina muttered her disap-
| prevail.
Goodness gracious me! They do look
dreadfully gay for going to the house
| of mourning"
But when the satin coated ponies
with their jingling harness, came
abreast of the gate, she discovered a
compromising gloom In the lawyers
face. Its profound solemnitys molliied
her to a degree.

THE SHADOW OF DEATH.

THE SHADOW OF DEATH.
When Miss Malyina Spillman, who
lived midway between the small town
Of Vaudeville and the large estate Of
Broxton Hall, saw DR.. Govan for the
second time that day drive rapidly up
the avenue of laurel trees that stretch
ed from the big outer gates to the very
doorstep of the Broxton house, she lift
ed up her voice:
.sI think Colonel Broxton must be
worse, mother. DR.. Govan's gone by
again.

but maybe he won't get here in
time. Go back to the window, Malyina.
Something else might happen"
Miss Malvina's mother was getting
old and had got deaf. Just now she
was pinned to her armchair with q
sprained ankle. To use her own pathos,
she was nothing like the woman she
used to be.
Sometimes Miss Malvina could pro-
ject bit of gossip across the room
without having to leave her sewing
machine or ironing board. 1t depended
largely on the state of the atmosphere
As a rule, she had to filter it carefully
through the perforated ear trumpet
that was swung by black ribbon
about her mothers neck.
The wheel of Miss Malvina's sewing
machine filed the little cottage with
its pleasant whir for few moments Of
renewed activity Them something else
did happen, and she hustled across the
room once more to report it. Her moth

readiness.

AN INTRODUCTION.

One would scarcely credit the Hour
fishing and growing town Of Vaudeville
city by courtesy a well anthem
ticated and respectfully vouched for
ghost story, and yet it had one-has
one perhaps, one might say, for three
pf its oldest citizens must join the
choir invisible before it becomes q mat
ter Of pure tradition.
To quote from the geography, .Man-
deville is remarkable chiefly for the ex-
cellent quality Of the glazed tiles and
the superior cylinder stoves which it
manufactures in large quantities and
ships annually to all parts of the Unit
ed States and Great Britain
Vaudeville does not set as much
store by its ghost as it does by its tiles
and stoves, which it advertises with
laudable liberality, but should any
stranger chance to express his views
on the subject of the finest old man
sion In its suburbs, Broxton Hall, in
the hearing of Uncle Bonnie Braddock,
as half the town calls him, he will be
very apt to hear something that will
astonish him, coming, as it does, from
such very respectable lips, in an atmos-
phere from which one looks for moth
ing but trade and market quotations.
z Uncle Bonnie has reached the remi-
niscent age, and he always seizes with
avidity upon the chance to describe
"the most remarkable experience of
my life, sir"
II his listener happens to be skeptic
who has nothing but yelled sheer for
the Broxton ghost, Uncle Bonnie will
refer him to Major Dan Mercer, sir q
guess nobody ever cast discredit on
statement of his), or Simon, who was
care taker at the Hall after Colonel
Rufus Broxton died. They saw what
I saw, and l take it that three more
unimag inative men can't be picked up
In all Melton county"
And SO, whether you believe it or not,
stranger, it will be well to comport
yourself respectfully toward the Brox-
ton ghost SO long as you are in the
neighborhood of Major, Dan Mercer.
The people who live in the handsome
old house itself are not such old world
aristocrats as to consider ghost good
form in shape of family Endorsement.
Whatever they may know or think
about this elusive member of their
fine old family they keep strictly to
themselves.
Whether or not the Vaudeville ghost
story is worth relating or listening to
each reader of the following pages
must determine for himself.
