and the bell boy had summoned the wrong one. A little later there was talk of the country. and within half an hour the crih-cracker had his case at his fingers ends. The girl had tel ephoned him from a few miles out of Boston. He could reach the country seat within a few hours by train.
 Mir. Felix Bradbury bought a quarter cigar on the strength of his prospects and made for the depot. The girls brother wouldn't be troubled to take those bonds to the safe deposit in the morning.
 In the country house Miss Bessie Bradbury sat up until eleven o'clock. It was at that hour before her father ceased swearing at the stairs on which he had slipped. at the doctor who told the family burglar proof safe for get ting out of order.
 Will Will probably come on the mid night train" she museds as she saw that the side door was left free for him to enter, and am going to give him scare about those bonds. If lead him to think that the house has been robbed maybe 1t will scare his hoarseness away"
 There were old bonds in the safe and out of it. There were silver mine bonds worth one cent on the dollar for the pictures on them, and there were coal oil bonds worth three cents pound as paper rags. The elder Mir, Bradbury had Invested in his time. It was no trouble at all for Miss Bessie to hunt up thirty thousand dollar bonds, worth altogether thirty cents. and put them in the envelope in place of those issued by Uncle Samuel. The latter she carried up to her room with her, and by and by the house grew quiet. It was then that MT. Felix Bradbury approached to | reap the ripening grain. He had the girls word that the side door would be left unlocked. He found it so. He entered noiselessly, turned on his dark | lantern and proceeded to business 1 What more fitting place in house for bonds than the library?

He expected to have to spend some time in search, but no sooner had he en- | tered the library than there on the table lay the big bulging envelope. At o'clock next morning Miss Bradbury's papa was swearing again He swore so hard and SO continuously that it was ten minutes before she found out that the house had been robbed during the night.

athon, which gives MiItiades place among the worlds generals, Is un- changed. It is about twenty-ive miles from Athens. and the story, told In marble, of the Greek who carried inc news of the victory to Athens and died from exhaustion amid the shouts of his countrymen has led to the inc corporation of twenty-flve mile race in the athletic games when they are held at Athens. In Iss6 the race waa- won by Greek (fnuch to the satisrac- ton of the audience). who made the run from Marathon to the city in two hours and forty-five minutes.

 Corinth brings to memory the part Greece played in the spread of Chris- tianity. It was not enough that this country led the world in statecraft and oratory. in poetry and history. in philosophy and literature, in art and athletics. she was also one of the first mission fields of the apostles It was to the Corinthians that Paul wrote the Epistles in which love ia given the first place among the vir- tues. and 1t was Greece that gave hef name to one of the great branches of the Christian church.
 A Democrat may be pardoned for cherishing a high regard for the land that coined the word, democracy. The derivation of the word--from demos the people and 'kratein." to rule-- makes it an appropriate one to de- scribe a government based upon pop ular will. And as governments more and more recognize the citizen as the sovereign and the people as the source of all political power. the worlds debt to Greece will be mode and more fully appreciated. She not only gave to language word accu- rately expressing the idea of self-gov- ernment. but she proved by experf- ence the wisdom of trusting the peo- pie with the management of all pub- lie affairs

 Mir Bradbury's speciality was crack ig cribs. With him "crib" meant any thing with 6 roof on it-dwelling. store, bank or warehouse. He was al- so fair hand at the confidence game and had been known to rob half a dozen guests of a hotel the same eve- ming. Taken all in all, he was a good all-round man, and it wasn't his fault, that luck was against him. Even if his money was low. he was making a big bluff by dressing well and order ing the best the menu afforded. Mir. Bradbury was wondering how much the next detective who arrested him would demand for letting him go again, when one of the belIboys sud- denly appeared and said:
 You are wanted at the telephone, sir"
 The gentleman of the jimmy gave a start of surprise and then proceeded to the instrument in the next room. Few knew. of his presence in the city, and they would hardly chance calling him up over the wire. The problem was soon solved, however. Tn answer to his hello a girls voice started off with

 'T don't know" was the doubtful re- ply of Mir Bradbury. who instantly realized that a mistake had been made, but had a natural curiosity to hear more of It.
 But you must come. Papa is in a great stew. He meant to go down tor day and deposit some bonds in safe de- posit. but has sprained his ankle and Is laid up and swearing at a great rate. The safe has got out of kilter and can't be unlocked, and there are thir- ty thousand dollars worth of bonds ly- ing around loose. You must come up for the night and take them down in the morning. It may be a week before papa can get out. You know mamma Is in bed. and can't leave her"
 And will you come?"
 why, yes, guess so. Where are you?'
 At home. of course"
 ''Well-er-you know" stammered Mir Bradbury. with his heart in his mouth as he thought of those bonds and realized that he didn't know where the other end of the wire was located.
 If you don't come papa will have a fit. Have you got a cold, that your voice sounds so husky'"
 'Yes. a bad cold; but I will get up there, It may be late, and you'd bet ter leave the front door unlocked"
 You mean the side door"
 Yes: the side door. Leave it un- locked"

Awful spook on Connec-

Winsted, Conn.,, Jan. 27.-It only re-
mains for " Chick" Hartman to give
up the job as stage driver on the Litch-
feld-Torrington route and the COM
munity will be convinced that the ghost
of Tongate Hill is terror.
No question remains in the minds Of
those acquainted with the facts in the
case that formidable ghost has taken
up his abodesat the foot Of Tollgate
hill, but it hangs in the, balance whether
the ghost will win out in the fight in
which two stagedriyers have been put
to rout already.
nBilly'' Harris was the first con-
fronted by the apparition on Thanks
giving eve. He was dosing on the
stage coach seat, when the horses reared
and bolted. Harris was about to seize
the reins when the blood froze in his
veins. A CHASTITY figure danced lightly
at the heads Of the horses, which were
running at breakneck speed. It placed
two gaunt hands on the horses heads
and murmured, sThere are no holes
here.' Then it was gone. Harris was
Litchfield and threw up his job.
Harris was numerically guyed by
Tim Meagher, who gladly accepted the
ownership. All went well until week
ago. when Meagher drove back to
Litchfield. threw down the reins and
said he wouldn It pass the Tollgate
again at night for love or money. He
said the ghost, eight feet in height and
luminous1y pale, had raced with his ter
rifed team, whispered in their ears,
