i could not have been the case if an entrance to the room had been effect ed in this way
 The door was securely locked and bolted on the inside, as 1 had left it the night before, and most thor opening into the room, and no pos sible place of concealment for any thing of the bulk of man.
 The thought of concealed opening iii the ceiling over the bed naturally suggested itself to my mind, but noth- ing of the sort existed and moment S examination with a towel on the end of walking stick showed a layer of dust which evidently had not been dis, turbed for years.
 In short the presence of tie enyel- ope on my bed seemed to be shrouded in mystery of the most impenetrab nind; but even it was exceeded in it's incomprehensibility by the aston ishing contents of the note. /
 My love for Florence Carney was, l had thought, a secret buried deep in my own breast. Surely 1 had never told it in all the years that 1 had cherished it so fondiy, and, on one occasion at least, l had denied it tiatly. Yet it was mentioned here, in as matter-of-fact a way as if our engagement had been formally announced and o1r wedding day named.
 l turned the matter over and over in my mind as l strolled slowly along in the winding road that led to Hos kins' hotel, but 1 was no nearer a SO l lution of the problem when l finished my breakfast than 1 had been when l 1 left the house There were a number | of letters for me at the post office, but 1 had no interest in them, and, stuff ing them unread into my pocket, wandered back to Carney Croft, still pondering deeply.
 Unlocking the door, returned at l once to my room and again made a l careful search for any possible means | of ingress after the door was closed and secured for the night While the l lock might have been turned from the outside with master key, there was still the bolt to hold il, and that this could not have been slipped by any other hand than mine 1 was absolutely sure Moreover, there was no hidden mechanism connected with the bolt which was a simple, commonplace sf fair, bearing the name of a well-known maker and evidently attached to the door after the house was completed.
 Giving up in despair, for the pres snt at least, 1 descended to the ground floor again, intending to make minute inspection of the house and grounds, when faint odor of cigal smoke attracted my notice, and saw that the library door vas ajar.

,< s ssasfer now, old man, for now she is my all in all and my only thoughts are for her welfare and her happiness. You know 1 saw her very frequently when she was living in town, and now that she is away our correspondence is necessarily frequent, so that I can keep informed of her whereabouts and know of her needs from the es- tate'
 Of course, you could not pay her any attentions unless you meant to ask her to marry you" said MacArdel, but don't see any objection what ever to that. l know you haven't any money, but your social position is as good as hers, and you are doing well in your profession. It seems to me that it would be very appropriate match if you love each other"
 No, Mac" 1 insisted. Its better as It is. Considering my position in con- nection with the estate it would be a mean advantage for me to take, and, Mac, if she refused me, 1 believe would kill myself I'm such fool over it."
 But suppose she didn't refuse you" said MacArdel softly, laying his hand on my arm.
 No, old man, it's no use talking that way" l replied. "Pll just go on as I've been doing. It's the only thing 1 can do, as I see it'
 Bet you a dinner at Sherry's that you propose to her and marry her within two years" said MacArdel. with quizzical look in his kindly eyes, and, with half-hearted grasp of his hand, 1 accepted the wager with a temerity that was half wishing and half hopeful.

ferred Then, when 1 saw you here in the house there seemed to be no other explanation at all, at least of the most important part of the thing. But now it Is more .hopelessly tangled up than before, for, as you were in my office yesterday afternoon, you could not pos sibly have had anything to do with it.
 Delightfully."- interesting, I'm sure!" said MaeArdel, and most appropriate when occurring in a house alleged to be haunted. Still, 1 confess 1 could fosow you more closely if l had some faint glimmer of an idea of what you are talking about"
 1 handed him the note, and he read 1t slowly and thoughtfully.
 When did you get it?" he asked.
 Found it on my bed this morning when l woke,' I replied.
 Who put it there?" he continued
 How the devil do l know who put it there?' 1 returned, excitedly. "The house was locked up and so was the room. The window was open, 1 ad unit, but I am positive that no one could have gotten in that way. There are too many vines about it, and not tWig was bent.
 So you thought it was miracle and that it must have been 1 who performed it, eh?" said MacArdel. T know you always maintained that I O mil, nln uyh I typhoid"
 Hang it all, Mac!" I exclaimed q don't care snap of my little finger how it got on the bed! 1 want to know who wrote it!"
 Well, l didn't, anyhow" said Mac Ardel. 'I never heard of it before. suppose somebody wanted to play a joke on you for your temerity in sleep ing alone in haunted house. Pretty poor sort of joke, to be sure, but I don't see anything to warrant your getting so excited over it."
 See here, Mac!" I said, drawing my chair Up close to his, you don't seem to understand just what l mean. The point is simply this. No one could have written thing like that, in such positive way, unless he had known that 1t was true. Now, you are the only person living with whom I have ever talked on this subject, for you will remember that you once inti- mated pretty broadly that I was in love with Miss Carney"
 And you denied it fatly," he re- marked
 Yes" l replied, T denied it f1atly"
 "MacArdel," l said, soberly, looking him squarely in the face, you've cor. nered me and 1 might as well tell you the whole thing. It was three years ago when we talked of this before, and must have loved her then and from the zz l first saw But not asL

1 had no doubt that my rustic friends astonishment at my determin- | ation to sleep in the house was found ed upon the twaddle over ghosts that was begun in the village three years before, and l rather welcomed this idea, for 1 felt that the more preva- lent it became the less Likelihood would there be Of undesirable proWl. CTS about the place.
 The room l chose for the night was the one l had occupied on the occa sion of my former visit and, after mak- ing up my bed in true bachelor fash ion, with bedding which l had no trou- ble in finding, locked the house se curely and slept the sleep of the just.
 l awoke suddenly, startled no doubt by ray of sunlight gleaming fairly in my face, and, finding the day so far advanced, 1 sprang out of bed thor oughly refreshed by my sleep and ex- hllafated by the crisp morning air that was blowing in through the win dow. As l threw back the sheet some IhlHS iSll lo tile Hoof, plcklHS IL up, l found a small, square envelope ad- dressed in cramped and totally unfa- miliar hand:

 As you love Florence Carney and hope to make her your wife, keep her away from this place at any cost.

MAYOR cULLoM,s POSITION.

The substance of Mayor Cullom's
answer to the inquiry propounded to
him at the West End meeting we
summarize as follows:
1T is the duty Of all coed citizens
to be public spirited enough to serve
the city officially in any capacity to
which the judgment, of the voters may
CALI them, even when such service is
not materially to their profit or adj
vantage"
Usually, I know, the principle, is
not enforced with the strlctness i'm
piled in my statement, for by common
consent persons upon whom the public
are not deemed to have any claim,
can decline a profered office without
subjecting themselves to unfavorable
criticism
I'm other words, the opinion passes
current: that an Individual is free to
accept Or reject an office-just as he
pleases. Without taking up your time
in discussing the limitations that
must of necessity attach to such free
dom in a Republic, permit me to say
that I am not in a position to avail
myself Of the kind of freedom indi-
Gated, even If the principle underlying
it were sound.'
....' II feel that am under obligations
to my party and constituency for fav-
ors, already received and enjoyed, and
it would be extremely ungracious for
me at this time to forestall party pref
erence and ->public sentiment by de-
claring myself upon a question which
T IN {>1,~ l141
upon which. my sense of j.: propriety
constrains me-, !. should let my party
and people have, their own way, and
use their own. Judgment"
II have never been an office seeker
nor have refused office when in the
Judgment: Of my .peersa,it was my duty
as a citizen to accept. L shall leave
the question with those whom 1~recog-
nize as having the paramount right to
| determine it." 7~

RIGHT TO ORGANIZE

II expressed sentiments shall be
the standard Of judgment. the Cit
liens Industrial Association, in ses-
sion In Battle Creek, and having as
Its spokesmen men like Van Cleve,
Post ct al, is hardly more or less
than an anti-labor union organiza-
ton, says an editorial in Thursday
mornings Detroit News. All through
Its discussions there are extravagant
denuciations of organized labor and
the expressed determination to put
the unions out Of business" The
wonder is that men Of keen business
understanding should be found to
harbor those sentiments, much less
express them.
They recognize their right to get
as" much as they can for their pro-
duct, and even to organize to keep
up profitable prices on the commo.
dittes they manufacture; and thew
would probably denounce as arnach-
istic anyone who sought to restrict
their rights in these particulars. But
when: the workingman, who must
GUY tnelr products or starve, or
gantzes to get as much as he can for
his product-labor; when he organizes
to keep prices for his commodity IN
to- point consistent with comfort
and decency, it seems to be an abom-
Unable thing in the eyes Of Van
Cleve, Post and their colleagues.

TNRUST busting is a young thing,
not yet of age. The very first
4 step by the United States gov
eminent toward curbing the
anarchistic tendencies of gigantic cor
porations was taken in 1887, when the
interstate commerce law was created.
In these twenty years the trust bust
ing business developed rather slowly.
Two OF three years ago its progress was
accelerated by a certain clearly defined
policy of the national administration,
altogether nonpartisan. This policy
was merely the enforcement Of the
laws. Since then something has been
doing. Just now the biggest things
that ever happened in the trust bust
ing line are in process Of working out.
In Europe thousand years ago and
for a. few centuries later the feudal
baron was above the law In the
United States for the past thirty years
the Doodle baron has been above the
law. Since the American civil war
two entirely new things have become
known to the world-tramps and trusts.
The trusts, or monopolies, have been
largely responsible for the tramps by
crushing competition and squeezing the
small business man out of the game.

and that appears to be the common
sense view.
Attorney General Bonaparte Of
course is at the head of the admins
tration's trust busting forces He is
himself several times a millionaire.
Before he went to Washington he was
noted as a reformer, a foe to protected
criminality. Everybody knows by now
that MI. Bonaparte is a granddaughter
of Napoleon Bonaparte, the Corsican
person who organized the biggest i'm
perial trust ever known to Europe.
A man from Minneapolis came
into the presidents trust busting circle
few years ago who appreciated this
situation and pointed out the way.
His name is Milton D. Purdy. He is
forty years old. He grew up some
where around the small town Of White
Hall, Ill. His father was a potter, and
young Milton worked at the potter's
wheel. After passing through high
school he taught district schools for
two or three years and then read law
in the Office Of Judge RUSSELL a broth
er of the actor, Sol Smith Russell, at
Jacksonville, ILL., William Jennings
Bryan a little earlier had read law
under the same tutor
Catcher of LaWbreakers.
Purdy took a collegiate law course
also and settled in Minnesota for prac-
tice. But he went almost Immediately
into the city attorneys Office Prac-
tfcally all his legal work has been as a
prosecutor. Many folks believe that
God raised up Abraham Lincoln, in
Purdy's native state, for the great
work which Lincoln accomplished. If
you look at it in that light, perhaps
you might assume something similar
as to Milton D. Purdy, whose career
from the first seems to have converged
toward the catching Of lawbreakers,
first the little, unimportant fellows and
now the full grown and really danger
Gus ones. MIR. Purdy is now assistant

But Uncle Sam is saying to Europe,

Revolutions and the enlightenment Of
the race relegated the old feudal baron
to the junk heap. The United States is
now seeking to put checkrein on the

done. If it can't be done, let us have
