fessional scrutiny. Carney spoke. but
without turning his head"
Il know you. Ware" he said slowly
and painfully, raising his voice feebly
to make it heard above the fury Of the
storm. You have been good to Flor

my thanks are heartfelt
He paused and seemed to choke for
an instant before he resumed:
You must pardon me. Ware, for all
the trouble I've made you and for the
worry that Florence has had to suffer.

thought l could Brighten you away

she's been more than a mother to me.
Ware. You must never let her want

He stopped again and gasped heav-

feebly and with greater effort than be-

Ghosts Are Sent to Prison.

Berlin. August ga remarkable
case in which haunted house played
a prominent part has just been heard
at Munich. A family named Wolf
hired farmhouse from an aged widow
living near Ammersee. The house
suited them, but the presence of the
aged woman in the house did not, and
they began to supply the premises with
a number of ghosts, as they knew she
was most superstitious, and in daily
and nightly terror of supernatural
beings.
Wolf and his wife and two daugh-
ters installed altogether seventeen
ghosts. First, they tried wicked
spirits, then angelic ones, with the re-
suit that the wretched woman was
nearly driven crazy by her nightly
visitants.
The spirits injured the cows, killed
cocks and hens, stole eggs and butter,
and made unearthly noises at mid
night. Then Wolf offered help to
cleanse the house of spirits for a con
sideration, and in process of time
these cleansing operations cost over
$500.
The widow was robbed of all she
had and was in addition suffering from
brain fever, when the police began To
take notice. The result was that Wolf
was sentenced to five years penal
serviture, to pay heavy fine and
to suffer ten years loss OF civil rights
his wife and one of his daughters to
two years and the other daughter tic
eighteen months Imprisonment.
The precious family had regular re
hearsals of its nocturnal swindle be
fore practicing 1t on the victim.

Ware, but at first l fancied / could
stay here and keep out of sight OF the
authorities and then, when l needed
exercise. we thought of the ghosts as
a means of keeping people away and
giving me more freedom"
He had not taken his eyes from the
window in all this time and the snow
was falling so heavily that we were
covered thickly with its soft, fleecy
mantle.
Again he began to speak while we
stood as men entranced, but his voice
was even weaker than before and it
was with difficulty that we could make
out all that he said.
I'll be gone soon, Ware. and you
must keep it all from the people and
have me buried at once. You know
there would be panic II they knew,
and vet there would be no danger in
this climate. It's only when you live
right in the midst of it. Ware. and

as I did in Hawaii, trying to help
those poor souls in their sufferings.
There's no danger. Ware, to any
one and yet, If they'd found me I'd
have been penned up somewhere like
wild beast, and l couldn't bear it.
| know I was foolish over 1t, and that
| probably could have bought my free
dom in a way, but once we got settled
here | wanted to stay in peace. You
know we never bothered you with the
ghosts after Florence came back. and
[ had Bobbs send you that one last
note in a faint hope that you would
go away again.
"Bobbs wrote to Annie for me, too,
telling her to talk with Mrs. Bruce and
try and persuade you to go, but she
only begged to see me and insisted on
keeping as near to me as she could.
OF course, l could not see her, Ware,
but she used to write me every day
and leave the letters on the window
sill for Chico to get after dark. l
wasn't able to answer them, Ware, for

know" and he changed his position
enough to show us two arms swathed
in bandages. but God only knows
what a comfort they were to me. and
Bobbs or his mother got word to
her from me whenever they could
He was painting noisily from the eff
fort of his long exertion. and Bobbs
made a deprecatory gesture as II he

He leaned heavily against the tree
for support and paused as If summon
ing to his aid all his energy and all his
courage, and then gasped on:

comes to you. Ware, and-God's-
blessing-on you-both."
Suddenly, and with a mufiled sob,
he lunged forward and raised his poor
distorted arms toward the window.

instant. One of the nurses appeared
and raised the sash to the top, letting
the bitter wintry air rush in and fill
the death chamber.

light of the lantern flashed across his
cruelty disigured face and MacArdel
muttered in my ear:
"Leprosy-poor devil. just as
thought, but what he said was true,
Ware. There's no danger to anyone
here"
We lowered him gently to the
ground and the rapidly drifting snow
received him in its soft embrace and
covered him over like shroud.
Some hours later. when the house
was quiet for the night and MacArdel
had retired to his room. called Bobbs
into the dimly lighted library and said
Its late, know, Bobbs, and we
are all worn out in mind and body, but
/ want you to tell me the rest of this
story before you CO."
There's little to tell now, sir" said
Bobbs, bravely keeping back his tears

great welts stood out on her sides and
her hide was lathered with foam. while
we dashed along in the binding storm
and finally galloped through the gate

close to the ground so that l could see

Suddenly, as we neared the house,
and at a place where the drifts were
deeper and the exhausted horse strug-
gled heavily in her effort to make her
way on, man sprang out of the sleet
and, grasping the animal by the head,
threw her backward with almost SUI
perhuman strength and brought us to
a standstill.

raising the whip high over my head.
Let us go on or I'll brain you!"
Don't strike. Mr.. Ware!" he gasped,

Yes, oh, yes! he almost screamed.
1.-THE doctor can't do her no good.
She died some half hour ago. and he's
dying, too. I tell you! Have you no
heart, sir? oh, bring the doctor to
him, in Gods name!"
Can We driver" l asked, suddenly,
realizing the fellows meaning and ap-
preciating the uselessness of our 60

NO he replied. but it's only
step, sir. I'll show you the way. Oh,
i thought you would never come. sir!"
We sprang out and. giving Bobbs
the lantern, followed him through the
snow to the side of the house on
which Miss Weston's windows opened.
He doesn't know she's gone yet"
said Bobbs, as he trudged along, light
ing our way as best he could. But he
knows it must be soon. and he's been
waiting out here in the storm for over
six hours"
We came to a tree, partly sheltered
by some shrubbery around it, and
There. leaning against its trunk was
