1--WE thought it was he and Mrs
Bruce that we saw last night" said
MacArdel, pleasantly. 1--WE were out
enjoying the moonlight when they
drove down the road"
Didn't see nuthin' else, did YEP"
asked Hoskins, in a confidential tone
why, mol" laughed MacArdel.
Why do you ask?"
WAL" said Hoskins, drawing near
er and speaking seriously, jerks says
tn ghosts wuZ abaout agin an they
went past him, daown tn road jest as
he wuz a-turnin' into tn pike. His boss
give a jump as they went scootin by
an it threw him agin tn dash an cut
his hand some. He called me up teh
git him rag teh tie araound it an he
looked scared enough to ha' seen 20
ghosts"
Was his hand badly hurt?" l asked
'Nuthin' teh speak Of" said Hos
kins. Jest little nick along the
side like he'd gouged a piece aouten
it."
See here, Hoskinsl" said MacArdel
sharply. 1--WE didn't see any ghosts
last night, and all your friend jerks
could have seen was ourselves, in our
shirt-sleeves, walking back of the
hedge by the river road. You remem-
ber how his horse jumped and ran,
don't you, Ware?"
Certainly" | replied, obediently
"We wondered what the trouble was,
at the time"
Now, then, Hoskins," continued
MacArdel, looking at his watch and
speaking rapidly. Don't let jerks hear
a word about this business He don't
know that had a trunk at the station,
and, if we can get back here before
he wakes up, he needn't even know
that we've had his wagon"
No fear of his wakin' up fur good
bit yet" grinned Hoskins. "He wuz so
scared when he got in that he liked
teh ha' finished pint O whisky fore
l could stop him"
80 much the better" said MacAr-
den, gathering up the reins. Now, re-
member what | say, and keep this
business to yourself. Well have some
fun with him before he gets through"
We drove as rapidly as the tired
beast could carry us, until we reached
the gate leading into the stable
grounds, when MacArdel pulled up
suddenly and said:
Lets dump the trunk in here We
can carry it up to the house after we
get this horse and wagon back where
they belong. No one will touch 1t
here"
AS soon as the trunk was on the
ground by tha side of the roadway,
MacArdel dragged out the parcel from
under the blankets and, opening it on
the grass, began to examine the pieces
minutely.
After a moment he Strengthened up
and exclaimed:
Its just as | thought. It's the same
stuff that we found last night, and
the sGoundrel went back and got 'em
all after we had gone to bed!"

said MacArdel."
What's that got to do with it?" I
snapped
We'll" he returned, grinning,

ants until you get this business clear
ed up. She may be satisfied that there
is nothing supernatural about these
midnight visitations, but she won't t
while there's any hocus-pocus going
on"
We were on our way back from the
railway station, and, coming to the
brow of the hill, we could look down
| across the valley and see the grim
gray walls of the Carney mansion
through the occasional openings in the
foliage as it waved in the gentle morn
ing breeze. To one side, and less than
mile away, was the Widow Bruce's
cottage, and | pointed it out again to
MacArdel
Let's go over there" he said, brief
ly. Il want to see her"
We lIdulptu dCTOSS lne UelQS and
over the fences of stone and brush,
soiling our boots tearing our clothing,
and decorating ourselves with a gen
erously distributed collection of burrs,
which clung to our garments with a
tenacity wonderful to believe.
A sharp knock at the cottage door
was answered by pleasant-faced,
motherly appearing woman of about
45, who spoke with marked English
accent. MacArdel took the initiative
and introduced us without delay
This is Mr.. Ware" he said, the at
torney of the Carney estate, and am
his friend, DR.. MacArdel."
The widow bobbed up and down like
duck in a puddle and invited us into
the house with a great show of cere-
mony.
mo, thank you" said MacArdel.
we won't come in. We've just been
taking a morning stroll over the hills
and we stopped TO ask if you could do
some washing for us. You know we've
been stopping over a. the house for q

things are so musty that we thought
we had better have some of them

Mrs. Lenora Bodenhamer, r. r. d. 1.
Box 80. Kerners Vile, N c., writes:
I" L suffered with stomach trouble and
indigestion for some time, and nothing
that ate agreed with me. was very
nervous and experienced a continual
feeling of Hne asiness and fear. / took
medicine from the doctor, but it did me
no good.
Il found in one of your Peruna books
a description of my symptoms. l then
wrote to DR.. Hartman for advice. He
said l had catarrh of the stomach. I
took Peruna and Manalin and followed
his directions and can now say that I
feel as well as l ever did
81 hope that all who are afflicted with
the same symptoms will take Peruna, as
it has certainly cured me"
The above is only one of hundreds who
have written similar letters to DIR.
Hartman. Just one such case as this

alton of every one similarly afflicted. If
this be true of the testimony of one per-
son what ought to be the testimony of
hundreds, yes thousands, of honest, sin
cere people. We have in our files great
many other testimonials.

along tonight again, but if you could
get some of the things back to us to.
morrow we wish you would"
Mrs. Bruce was quite willing to do
us this favor, and MacArdel told her
to call for the things at six that
evening, explaining that we would
not return to the house until that
hour.
AS we left the cottage and wan
dered on down the hill, MacArdcl
said:
"She don't look half bad. after all.
l confess | expected to see a very
different sort of woman"
A moment later he muttered as If to
himself: Wen get the story out
of her, though, or I'll miss my guess"
beyond which sage remark he became
absolutely uncommunicative on the
entire subject.
We kept our word about returning
to the place before evening, and, after
lunching at Hoskins' and taking a row
on the river in the afternoon, we ar
rived at the house little after FIVE
to await the appearance of Mrs.
Bruce. MacArdel had been far from
talkative for some time, when sudden
ly he said:
Ware, go back to the village right
away! Send two or three meaningless
kilograms to your office within an hour
or so. Tell it around that unless you
receive reply before ten o'clock we
will both have to return to town on
the midnight train. I'll stay here and
attend to the widow when she
comes"
"Of course l won't get any reply IL
my messages are meaningless" l ex-
claimed, in amazement. What on
earth are you driving at?'
Never mind about that" said Mac
Ardel. Just do as | tell you and be
mighty careful to so word your mes
sage that no one can make any sense
out OF them, but be sure to send them
to your own Office. Then they'll look

CANNED GOODS
ARE POPULAR
Oriental Trade In Timed
Meats is Growing
Rapidly

Replying to inquiries from an Amer
lean packing company Consul w. I.
Grecey, writing for the Daily Consular
and Trade Report, says the Chinese
str.ct covered by Tsing-tau consul
late cannot be considered a large con-
sumner of packing house products, but
the trade is growing one, both for
supplying the German and European
merchants and the Chinese of the city
and the surrounding province of
Shantung. He adds:
Pork is the article principally used
by the Chinese, but it appears doubt
full if this could be introduced in
large quantities at prices which could
compete with the locally grown and
slaughtered animals. Prior to the Chi
cago beef scandal of two years ago
large supplies of American packing
house products were imported for use
by the German troops stationed here,
but the purchase of such goods is now
prohibited, and supplies are either
procured from Germany direct or from
Australia. American timed meats can
be found on the local markets and
from the large and continually new
stock on hand in the shops 1t would
appear that there was excellent trade
for these goods.
! English goods are also found on
the market and seem to be as much
in demand as American. They include
|
sausage. breakfast bacon and smoked
bacon, smoked hams and pigs tongues,
while pigs feet and other pork prod
ucts are imported in barrels. There Is
model slaughter house in Tsingtau.
which has been built within the last
particular. All animals are medically
inspected and held for "a hours be-
fore being butchered, and 20 samples
of the meat from each animal are mi
croscopically examined before being
placed on the market. All diseased
animals and meats are cremated, and
all refuse disposed of in the same
clearly manner. With the excellent
cold storage facilities attached to the
plant there Is not the necessity fol
timed or sailed meats that is found
In other China ports. The slaughter
house Is entirely under government
control The animals are raised prin
cipally locally, though a certain guam
tity reared from European stool
comes here on the hoof from Shang
hal and other ports"

SOUTH SQUIRTING
ON ". J. BRYAN
Signs Of Disturbance Voiced
In Dissatisfaction of
Vardaman

NEW ORLEANS, July 1.-THE
conclusion inevitably reached after
consultation with well-informed Lou
isiana democrats is that Mr.. Bryans
quondam followers are beginning to
weary of their servitude. Perhaps 1t
would describe the situation more &C
curately to say that they are begin
ming to think, since a period OF In
telligent consideration must precede
anything like a weakening of the Bry-
an superstition. The thinking is in
progress, with the result that might
have been expected.
OF course the rank and file continue
as before 10 shout for Bryan and to
clamor for his seductive eloquence. In
the estimation of the multitude he Is
still the Peerless One, the Prophet of
the Boundless West and all that sort
of thing, while the enlightened few are
| content to leave them in their raptures
| undisturbed, at least for the immedi-
ate present. They are not yet ready
to raise new banner, and this for
i the very sufficient reason that they
4 have not decided exactly what banner
to raise This is New Orleans busy
Il season.
| Meanwhile the conviction deep down
/ in every serious heart is that Bryan
/ the feeling that his nomination will be
4 the overture to another overwhelming
defeat: The Southern Democracy il
used to that, and has not yet begun to
entertain the idea of a possible VIC
tory under any leadership whatever
caused by Bryans declaration in favol
of the government ownership Of the
railroads All conservative men arr
opposed to this, not only because the!
regard it as a departure from SOUND
policy and a prelude to the concen
tration of all political power at Wash
ington--they are opposed to 1t upol
still deeper and more intimat
grounds. There has not been so ia
much talk anent the real thought a
the bottom of the revolt, but there ha
been a great deal of thinking an
speculation.
Mr.. Bryan will not long remain Il
doubt as to the reason for the increas
ing coldness at the South In regar
to his pretensions. Already tn
changed attitude of J. X. vardaman Il
Mississippi has been noted and &C
curately analysed. Mr.. Vardaman ha
not yet repudiated his personal al
legiance, but he has very emphaticall
antagonized the idea Of government
ownership, and those closest to hir
promise that he will soon proclaim hi
reasons for the course he has adopt
ed. Senator Tillman also has bee
throwing out limitations Of reveal
tons yet to concentrations tina
will certainly make an entirely neN
view of the political prospect.
