CHAPTER III,

It was q beautiful moonlight night,
and Whittingham was looking her best as
we made our way along the avenue lead
ing to the Piazza 1871. The President
walked briskly, silent but serene; I fol-
lowed, the trouble In my mind reflected
in a somewhat hang-dog air, and l was
much comforted when the President broke
the stiffness of the night by saying:
"You have set your foot on the first
rung of the ladder that leads to fame and
wealth, Mr.. Martin"
was rather afraid I had set II on the
first rung Of the ladder that leads to the
gallows. But there the foot was; what
the ladder turned out to be was in the
hands of the gods; so I threw off care,
and as We entered the Piazza l pointed
to the statue, and said:
behold my inspiring example, your ex-
cellency!"
Exactly" he replied, I make the most
Of my opportunities"
knew he regarded me as one Of his
opportunities, and was making the most
of me. This is not pleasant point OF
view to regard ones self from, 80 l

A Good Result.

Under the operation of the
new Pure Food Laws, baking
powders now generally bear on
the labels statement of the in
gradients. This is of utmost
Importance because of the harm
full ingredients used in many
cases.
Royal Baking Powder is known
to be the only baking powder
made of Royal Grape Cream of
Tartar. and this no doubt ex-
plains its greatly increased sale
here
Careful housekeepers are tax
ing advantage of the protection
which the laws afford, and are
examining all the reading matter
on the back of the label before
adopting any brand for use in
the home.
When in place of the words
Cream of Tartar the words
alum" aluminium" or phos-
plate of lime" appear among the
ingredients, they heed the warn
ing and avoid baking powders
containing these substitutes.

Jack a dull boy so in response
to an invitation to Ghost Hail.
the spooks and spookesses wend-
ed their way to the Purcell home
amid the gloom and shadows on
Halloween. Asthe ghostlyviSi
tants arrived they were met at
the porch entrance by hobtgob-
lin about nine feet tall who show
ed them to the door Here they
were met by a tall, willowy
shade who had recently return
ed from the land of departed
witches and spooks and her icy
hand shake sent thrills and
quivers up and down the spinal
column of the more warm blood
ed ghosts. On the second land
ing four more spirits greeted
the arrivals and shades of Caesar!
this time when the unwary one
shook hands the whole hand
came off of the bewitching crea-
ture and by this time the unfor-
tunate arrivals were looking for
door to escape by, but rallying
their scattered senses once more
assembled another flight of stairs
and found himself in Ghost
Hail.. Here one was more at
home, for verify he met his own
kind at last The hall was beau
tifully lighted and decorated in
branches of autumn foliage.
Jack o. lanterns grinned in at
every window adding weirdness
to the scene. An old black cat
and two black kittens held con-
certs ia minor strains among the
rafters, while an old witch poked
them with a long stick. Death
heads grinned down from the
walls, and old witches riding
broom sticks seemed to fly on
their mission of nightly vista
ton to the inhabitants of earth.
A witch of generous proportions
kept the shadowy spirits in gales
of suppressed merriment by her
antics. After a ghostly CONVEX
sation and a renewal of old ac-
quaintanceS from the bone yard,
they were at last hidden to I'M
cover their faces, which was
done amidst shrieks of laughter,
and neighbors and friends recog-
nized each other for the first
time during the evening A for
tune teller with beautiful face
told fortunes much to the amuSe-
ment of the guests. A sumptu-
Gus feast was served at midnight
consisting of baked beans, coffee,
sandwiches. pickles, cheese balls
and pumpkin pie, after which
the ghosts gathered up their
habliments and prepared to van
ishn again to the land of spooks,
hob-goblins and witches. The
out of town guests were Mr..
and Mrs. Vose of Ellis, Mrs.
Fields and Miss Retta Freese of
Hays, and Miss Collins, a neice
of Mrs. A. II. Blair's from Cali
fornia. Mrs. I. T. Purcell, Mrs.
f. @. Wollner and Mrs. F. s.
Toothaker were the originators
of this delightful evening, and
they entertained their guests in
a way that will be long remem-
bered by those who attended.
