Disappointment always came with
daylight again, however, for the petit
tions came so fast that "hizzoner' was
forced to answer them in the form of a
circular letter.
Then the "strong minded" women
went to work in earnest. The time was
ripe to spring the plans on their sisters
During this time a political machine,
planned along the lines of the mighty
tiger of New York, was outlined and
the foundations for it's work laid.
The leaders timed their subjects well,
in fact with the skill of veteran politi-
clans, and at the right moment, when
the most retiring little housewife in
town was ready to shoulder arms to
defend what she had come to regard as
the rights Of her sex, the light was ap-
piled and the volcano began to erupt.
what do we intend to do?" they say.
"Just wait and we will show Los An
geles what power a mere women's
movement may have. We intend to
show those officials now in office that
we have the ability to defend our rights
and the rights of our SEX"

ing I was seated by the window, all being dark save for the moonlight out side, when 1 heard steps behind me. and there was my wife in her dress ing gown. She implored me to come to bed. I told her frankly that I wished to see who 1t was who played such absurd tricks upon us. She an- swered that 1t was some senseless practical joke, and that I should not take any notice of 1t.
 ' If it really annoys you, Hilton, we might go and travel, you and I, and so avoid this nuisance"
 What, be driven out of our own house by a practical joker? said l. Why, we should have the whole coun- ty laughing at us.
 Well, come to bed said she, and we can discuss 1t in the morning.
 Suddenly, as she spoke, I saw her white face grow winter yet in the moonlight and her hand frightened upon my shoulder Something was moving in the shadow of the tool house. I saw a dark, creeping figure which crawled around the corner and squatted in front of the door. Seiz- Ing my pistol, was rushing out, when my wife threw her arms round me and lltlO Wlln COilNu ulslAG SlItnBln l tried to throw her off, but she clung to me most desperately. At last 1 got clear, but by the time l had opened the door and reached the house the creature was gone. He had left trace of his presence. however, for there on the door was the very same arrangement of dancing men which had already twice appeared and which l have copied on that paper. There was no other sign of the fellow any where, though I ran all over the grounds And yet the amazing thing Is that he must have been there all the time, for when I examined the door again in the morning he had scrawled some more of his pictures under the line which l had already seen.'
 Have you that fresh drawing?''
 ''Yes, it Is very short, but 1 made a copy of it, and here it is.'
 Again he produced a paper. The new dance was in this form:-

armchair. "It's bad enough to feel that you are surrounded by unseen, unknown folk. who have some kind of design upon you, but when, in addi- tion to that, you know that it is just killing your wife by inches, then 1t becomes as much as flesh and blood can endure. She's wearing away un- der it-just wearing away before my eyes"
 Has she said anything yet?'
 No, MT. Holmes, she has not. And yet there have been times when the poor girl wanted to speak, and yet could not quite bring herself to take the plunge. I have tried to help her. but I dare say I did it clumsily and scared her from 1t. She has spoken about my old family, and our reputa- tion in the county, and our pride in our unsullied honor, and always felt it was leading to the point, but somehow 1t turned off before we got there.'
 But you have found out something for yourself?"
 "A good deal, MT. Holmes. l have several fresh dancing-men pictures for you to examine, and, what is more important, 1 have seen the fellow"
 What. the man who draws them?"
 "Yes, I saw him at his work. But I will tell you everything in order. When I got back after my visit to you. the very first thing I saw next morning was a fresh crop of dancing men.

Holmes examined 1t for some time, and then, folding 1t carefully up, he placed 1t in his pocketbook.
 This promises to be a most interest ing and unusual case" said he. You gave me few particulars in your let ter, MT. Hilton Cubitt, but I should be very much obliged if you would kindly go over it all again for the benefit of my friend, pr. Watson"
 I'm not much of a story teller" said our visitor, nervously clasping and unclasping his great strong hands. You'll just ask me anything that I don't make clear. I'll begin ct the time of my marriage last year, but I want to say first of all that, though I'm not rich man, my people have been at Riding Thorpe for a matter of five centuries, and there is no better known family in the county of Norfolk. Last year I came up to London for the jubilee, and I stopped at a boarding house in Rus sell Square, because Parker, the vicar of our parish. was staying in 1t. There was an American young lady there Patrick was the name-Elsie Pat rick In some way we became friends, until before my month was up I was as much in love as man could be- We were quietly married at a registry office, and we returned to Norfolk a welded couple. You'll think it very mad, Mir. Holmes, that man of good family should marry a wife in this fashion, knowing nothing of her past or of her people. but if you saw her and knew her, 1t would help you to understand.
