FROM Ine OOluenudio Dentlhe4'
Roy LaPeere met with serious
accident yesterday forenoon. La
Peere has been employed by the Kat
enherg Sellenger Milling Go. for a
year or more in hauling boxes to
White Salmon during the box season.
Yesterday morning he started with a
four horse load of boxes, the first trip
this year, and from meager reports it
appears all went well until he got be-
low Yosts, where he was thrown from
his seat, the front wheels of the wagon
passing over his body and the hind
wheels appeared to have dragged him
quite distance into a chuck in the
road when the horses stopped. 1t is
reported that Mr.. Williams of HUI
sum found him in this condition. 1t
appeared that the man was dead, be-
ing black in the face and his eyes pro
tuding. DR.. Gearhart, of White Sal
mon, was called and upon his arrival
it was found that two ribs and col.
lar bone were broken and he was
otherwise badly done up. Later re.
ports say that LaPeere is resting well
with some hopes of recovery. He is
single man about % years old, his
home being in Oregon but at present
it is at the home of Renh Sellenger.
Measles have been making the
rounds, several cases have been re-
ported.
Mr. and Mrs. John Wyers, of White
Salmon, came up Wednesday evening
Mrs. Wyers had tooth which was
acting ugly and decided to have it ex-
tracted which she did. Rut the ner-
vous shock was too great which caused
her to get quite sick They returned
to White Salmon early Thursday
morning.

CHAPTER XIV.
Something Very Like a Dream.

1t was after midnight, and the
inmates of the woodman's cabin had
been some hours at rest, when Mary
Musgrove's sleep was disturbed py
strange and unwonted alarms. She
was dreaming of Arthur Butler, and
a crowd OF pleasant visions hitted
about her pillow, when, suddenly
clouds darkened the world OF her
dream. and images of bloodshed
caused her to shudder. Horrid
shapes appeared to her. marching
with stealthy pace through her
apartment, and a low and smothered
football seemed to strike her ear like
the ticking of a death-watch. The
fright awakened her, but when she
came to herself all was still. Her
chamber was at the opposite end OF
the cabin from that where Butler
and Robinson slept, and it was sep
arated from the room occupied by
Lynch only by a thin partition OF
boards. The starlight through her
window fell upon the floor, just
touching, as 1t passed, the chair over
which Mary had flung her clothes
and lighting with a doubtful and
spectral light the prominent points
of the pile of garments in such man.
ner as to give it the semblance or
some unearthly thing. Mary Mus
grove had the superstition common
to rustic education and, as her dream
had already filled her mind with ap-
prehensions, she now trembled when
her eyes fell upon what seemed to
her visitant from another world.
For some moments she experienced
that most painful Of all sufferings,
the agony of young and credulous
minds when wrought upon by their
horror of spectres in the night.
Gradually, however, the truth came
to her aid, and she saw the dreaded
ghost disrobed of its terrors, and
changed into a familiar and harm
less reality. But this night-fear was
scarcely dissipated before she again
heard, what in her sleep had con-
jured up the train of disagreeable
images, the noise of footsteps in the
adjoining room. In another instant

GAMBLING AT SEA.-A friend Of mine
recently returned from a trip to the
United States very full Of the mischief
done by professional gamblers and
card -sharpers, on the Atlantic liners
and strongly Of opinion that the ship
ping companies are responsible for the
existence Of this evil.
1t Is pretty certain, I believe, that
the blackleg business is organized like
any other industry, and that the gangs
who frequent the Atlantic liners are
regular employees Of an individual or
firm. It is at any rate certain that the
members of the gangs are known to
the ships officers, and my friend tells
me that the names Of seven Of them
were pointed out to him on the pas
senger list Of the White Star liner on
which he returned and the individuals
identified as they sat at table. 1t is
interesting to note that among them
was a woman Of youthful and innocent
appearance.
1t is one Of the worst features Of the
evil that many Of them are youngsters
going out to America or Canada, with
most Of their worldly wealth in their
pockets. My friend learned that the
gang on his ship got e160 from certain
passengers at one sitting, and that on
recent voyage Of the same ship they
had fleeced a young passenger to the
tune Of g600. He therefore urges that
as the companies know the individuals
they should absolutely refuse to carry
them, and stand the racket OF legal
proceedings for so doing.-London
Truth.

addressed herself, land I only come
with a word Of warning to you. Do
not ride by the Dogwood Spring to-
morrow nor take the right hand road
at the first forks: there are wicked
men upon the road. Have your
eye," she whispered. upon my uncle
Walter. Ride fast and far, before
you stop; and pray, sir, as you think
fairly of me-Mary Musgrove, sir,
the daughter of Allen Musgrove.
the miller-oh, do not tell my name.
If you know John Ramsay, sir, I am
certain you would believe me-"
The Watchdog had growled once
or twice during the period while
Mary spoke, and at this moment the
door Of the principal room Of the
cabin was heard to move slightly
ajar, and the voice of Adair, in a
whisper, reached the girls ear
Hist, Michael In the devils
name what brought you back? Why
do you loiter, when time Is so pre-
cious.
A long, heavy. and inarticulate ex-
clamation. such as belongs to dis
turbed sleep, escaped from Butler.
Father of heaven, I shall let the
window fall with fright" inwardly
calculated Mary. as she still occupied
her uneasy station. Hush, 1t is the
voice of my uncle"
There was a painful pause.
A heavy rush Of wind agitated the
trees, and sweeping along the porch
caused some horse-gear that was sus-
pended against the wall to vibrate
with a rustling noise: the sound
pierced Mary's ear like the accents
of a ghost, and her strength had
wellnigh failed her from faint-heart-
edness.
II thought it was Michael" said
in, "but 1t Is only the rafting
Of harness and the dreaming Of
Drummer. These dogs have a trick
of whining and growing in their

own. They say a dog sometimes
sees a spirit at night. But man or
devil its all the same to old Drum
mer! Sleep quiet you superfluous.
and have done with your snoring!"
With these words the door was
again closed, and Mary for the mo-
ment. was released from suffering.
Remember" she uttered in the
most fear-stricken tone, as she low
cred the sash. BE sure to take the
left hand road at the first fork"
I'm Gods name. what Is It? Where
are you?" was the exclamation heard
by Mary as the window was closing.
She did not halt for further parley
or explanation, but now hastily stole
back, like a frightened bird towards
its thicket. Painting and breathless,
she regained her chamber. and with
the utmost expedition betook herself
again to bed, where, gratified by the
consciousness Of having done a good
action, and fully trusting that her
caution would not be disregarded she
gradually dismissed her anxiety, and
before the hour Of dawning, had
fallen into gentle though not alto
gether unperturbed slumber.

Peculiar Trials Found Among British
Court Records.

Court Records.
The testimony of "ghost" would
not count for much in a court of law,
but the day has been when it has
sufficed to hang man. 1t is stated
that the original depositions are in
the Bodleian Library Of a most re-
markable case Of this character.
A girl named Anne Walker was
supposed to have been sent away for
her good by a substantial farmer.
Some time afterwards a so-called ap-
partition appeared to neighbor, with
it's head all bloody from wounds, and
telling him that she had been muir
dered by the farmer and an accom-
plice. Her body, the aparition said,
had been buried In spot which she
described, and she begged the man
to whom she appeared to bring her
murderers to justice. True enough,
the body was found in the place men,
toned and the man was brought to
trial. The sensational character Of
the case was intensified by one Of
the jurymen declaring that he saw
the child of the dead woman sitting
upon the shoulders" Of its father, the
farmer. Both the culprits were
hanged,
There was ghostly accuser in a
case with which the readers Of Scott
are familiar Soon after the "45"
an English soldier wandering near
Eraemar met violent death. Hawks
do not peck out hawks cen and no
man opened his mouth to give a clew.
Years passed and then came a story
of a communication from another
world,
A farm servant declared that in
the night a spirit had appeared to
him, declaring itself to be the ghost
of the soldier, whose bones 1t said
lay still unburied. The Highlander
must see to their decent interment
and have the murderers, two men
named, brought to justice. The
Highlander promised. but did not
keep his word, and a second and
third time the spirit appeared and
upbraided him for his breach OF
faith. Alarmed at last and no longer
daring to delay, the man called a
companion, went to the spot whlcn
the spirit had indicated and there
found the bones of the murdered
ri q mr.
tract called the Hill Of Christie.
The story of the Highlander came
to the ears of an anti-Jacobite, who
caused the matter to be brought to
trial before the court Of justiciary
Edinburgh. There the tails was corrob-
Grated by a woman who had seen a
naked figure enter the place on the
night spoken Of by the man. 1t was
an age of superstition, in dis
trict more than commonly given
to superstitions, and the jury SEEM
ed disposed to find the two men
charged, guilty Of the murder.
But it happened the principal wit
ness spoke only Gaelic. Now" said
counsel for the defense, sin what
language did the ghost speak," IN
as good Gaelic as ever l heard In
Lochaber," was the reply. Pretty
good for ghost of an English SOL
dier," said counsel. And that question
and comment saved the necks of the
men at the bar. The jury could be-
lieve in ghosts, but not in an English
ghost speaking Gaelic.-London Daily
Standard.
