lage at the door.
Little thinking the window Tom had
left unfastened was trap, the unsus-
pecting ghost was soon in the silent
house.
Sparks Of fire Issued from Its mouth,
stream of blood flowed from Its
breast, and Tom shuddered as he crept
noiselessly up the stairs. The burglar
had scarcely entered the chamber
when there was a loud report, and
voice said authoritatively as he fell to
the floor with a shrek Of dismay:
II have six bullets left, sir ghost. II
you make any resistance l shall use
them.'

wasn't a weapon in the house." groan-
ed the man, tearing off his ghostly at
tire.
Very true" The only one l knew
of was In my own pocket"
my leg is broken. Help me up"
"You are quite comfortable"
A savage oath broke from the mans
lips, and he coaxed and threatened al
ternately. Finding neither availed, he
raised himself and dashed for the
door. There was fash. a quick re-
port, and the man fell down the stairs
where he lay senseless.
The housekeeper now made her ap-
pearance and after binding him Sc
curely, they watched him until morn
Ing.
"You have done 1t now," said the
burglar, on recovering, II wasn't hurt
at all before"
Such a time as there was the next
day. Men, women and children gath
cred about the house. A good deal Of
laughter was heard when they saw the
red paint they had taken for blood.
When the excitement was at its
height Toms uncle appeared
"Well, you have done bravely," he
said, on hearing the story. Il guess
that paper has something to do with
your fine gentleman"
Tom took the paper. A thousand dol |
lars reward was offered for a notOri |
JUS burglar. He had left the city and |
he officers were after him.
The Joy of the people was complete
when Tom brought out the treasure of
he hollow tree. He received many
lifts beside the reward.

the carriage drove away.
Tom laid his treasure carefully away,
and just at dark strolled over to the
village store.
"Uncle left me five hundred dollars

'You wouldn't have it long to care

The excitement regarding the ghost
was Mt Its height when something more

For great many persons think there

Of substituting crystals for the jewels

As a matter Of fact, there IL no truth
In this suspicion. A jeweler, no matter

In antique watches the jewels were
