what he said Understand it: he asked
Mulrooney snorted with disgust. No;
body else! don't hold with such foolishness What
That's lust it." said Clitterdink, with far
point when he stopped l waited, figuring he d go
on; but he didn't. l looked up again, and he was
gone.
That's what l said Gone replied Jedediah.
Maybe he slid out of the window, suggested
Mu5ooney fixing his eyes baleuy on the the youth

How about the door,!
Down at the other end of the room. He d have
had to pass through the whole class to reach It,
Anybody else see him-er-sneak!
Everybody noticed he was gone ten seconds
Then WHAT?
That's all He didn't come back.
Mulrooney studied Jedediah very carefully for
the next minute, and then ordered, " Describe him..
Want regular description, just how he
looked?" Chtterdlnk asked
What did he look like said the detective i'm
patiently.
About six feet in his congress CATERS, weighed
somewhere around hundred and eleven without his
spectaces and had a retiring kind of pale hair, He
had mole his right cheek, and the upper Joint of
the first finger the left hand had deserted him.,
said Jedediah rapidly.
Huh" said Mulrooney "Mustache:"
Not hair
The detective examined the ceiling of the

"Of my husband's:"
Rap! Rap! Rap!

The dean suddenly sat up in bed and cutched his
partner by the arm. II must protest Maria he
croaked This is sacrilegious
She shook him off petulantly Shall l count the
alphabet" she asked.

cred down again "A. B, c. D, E. F, G, H
The rappng ceased.
That's the first letter, Josiah she said tn

She began again. " A"
The rapping stopped abruptly.
The second letter is A." she announced
Then she was permitted to go on till she had
reached the very last letter of the alphabet and
announced that was next The fourth letter

her husband by the shoulder in firm grasp
JOSIAH she demanded in awful tone, who
is Hazel? Answer me at once! We are informed
by the spirit that it is friend of yours You have
spoken to me of this creature. Who is she!
Where did you meet her,
The dean groaned this time from pain. Be

Il will find out the truth! his wife announced,
and said loudly, Are you still there?"

that the sound was being made with piece of
metal. The dean sat bolt upright with such
promptitude that he became dizzy. The tap
ping continued mournfuly. Then it trans
ferred itself to the foot of the bed from the foot
to the head and then apparently to the globes
of the chandelier.
Maria" said the dean sternly IF you
have any hand in this outrage, must demand
that you cease.
Don't be fool!'' snapped Mrs Whipple
bouncing.
But if it is not you began the dean
weakly.
DO you imagine l am an acrobat or
anthropomorphous ape, that | can sit here
and still fly about the room?" protested the
lady excitedly Listen! It's now on the
closet door'
There were number of faint taps on the
door in question. The dean got to his knees
and peered into the darkness
Whoever you are" he cried, Il warn you
to cease this annoyance! l will investigate
such procedure, and the perpetrator shall be
dismissed"
Rap! Rap! Rap! Rap! from the head of
the bed behind him, and the dean plunged
madly down to the foot.
Mrs. Whipple sighed violently. 1T is
Judgment upon you, Josiah she said,-"a
judgment upon you for denying the existence
of the spirit plane
do you really think" began the dean
in a whisper
Il know it, she replied decisively. At
the last sitting we had at my sister Cynthia's,
we obtained similar demonstrations. You
have consistently derided my efforts in this
field of investigation, and now you are being
convinced"
The dean groaned. Cant you do some
thing to make it stop?" he inquired feebly.
There may be a message for you" said
Mrs. Whipple with rising note of excite
ment in her voice
How do / obtain this communication"
inquired the dean, and his voice sounded
muff1ed, as if he had his head beneath the {
Mrs. Whipple considered. There is me-
she announced. 1T is frequently used by an

The dean tossed uneasy and lifted his head
from the pillow.
Maria" he said testify, jabbing her with his
elbow, stop scratching the foot of the bed
with your toe! 1t is annoying and undignified.
Mrs. Whipple awoke with a snort. Whats
that" she inquired.
Il suggested the improperly of scratching
the footboard with your toe. 1t annoys me,
and is likely to mar the varnish.'
Josiah: said Mrs Whipple, you rave
Rave" calculated the dean. Rave.'
- | said rave replied Mrs. Whipple
Maria. remarked the dean. raising himself
on one elbow, do you mean to deny that you
were scratching?"
''Of course / do replied his wife.
The dean paused in bewilderment. From the
head of the bed came distinct tapping The
dean turned to his spouse excitedly. You will
also deny that YOU are rafting your hairpins
against the headboard now, l presume he OBJ
served.
Most decidedly deny :t!'' she snapped
The dean paused again in establishment.
Speech seemed denied him for the moment.
Then he found his voice. Maria he said
sternly, "such conduct might be excusabe in
a woman of tender years, but for female of
ffty-fve it is reprehensible!'
II am not ffty-fve" declared his wife
griy. You know l am only trif1e over
fifty four"
and passing the point of age with agility,
4 must request that you permit me to sleep. This
:. is neither the time the place for practical
: jokes"
Mrs Whipple sat up in bed with considerable
decision. The dean could not see her; but he
could feel her bristle, JOSIAH, she announced.
you have lost your mind l will have this
looked into"
Woman, he cried in evaporation, per
NIT me to point out that attempt to con-
vince me of your spiritualistic beliefs is un-
worthy If it does not at once, l shall
be compelled to seek another resting place"
e threw himself back on his pillow with thud.
Mrs. Whipple breathed hard through her nose.
Do you mean to insinuate-" she began
Kindly desist," said the dean fretfully. Il am

Turkeys Back East-I

1t may be a slight consolation to
the housewives Of Astoria to know
that turkeys are high back east, too,
at least in one place. Thirty cents
is the price here, and the ,,Arkausaw
Traveller" laments the fact that in
that locality the prices dressed will
% up to is or 20 cents. The article
states: According to all reports
Thanksgiving turkeys will again this
season be very high priced and not
within the reach Of the pocketbook
Of ordinary people. Dealers say
they will have to pay from u to IA
cents for live turkeys, while dressed
ones will retail at 1S to 20 cents as
Thanksgiving approaches" This
clipping was taken from the "Arkan-
saw Traveller" by the Rev G. G.
Rarick, who learned the printing
business on that paper.

Splendid Concert EXCURSION

On Thursday morning at 10
o'clock there will leave this city for
Skamokawa and Cathlamet, one Of
the most interesting excursions Of
the year, under the auspices Of the
Norwegian Singing Society. That
fine body of singers accompanied
and assisted BY Miss Esther Sund-
quist, as violin soloist, will charter a
steamer (probably one Of the Bah
bidge feet) and viii give the first Of
two splendid concerts, at Skamo-
kawa, at 2;30 o'clock in the after
noon, going thence to Cathlamet in
time to repeat the concert there in
the evening and return home within
reasonable hours. And the beauty
Of the program lies in the modest
charge of SO cents, which covers the
round-trip and both concerts; sure
ly the most reasonable charge ever
made for such a generous deal 1t
cannot possibly fail Of patronage
under the circumstances Of the ex-
ceptional talent indicated, the prime
outing the trip affords, and the re-
markable and modest price quoted,
and the manifold pleasures il prom
ises. u8
