As yet the whole mysterious doings

frying in the pan in the most matter
of fact way instead of jumping out
onto the floor, and to see the cups stay
on the shelves and the pictures on the
wall. but it was some satisfaction to
handle the very stone that had been
dropped by an unseen hand through
the unpierced roof and to see the very
picture that had had sudden and mys-
terious migrations only few hours
before.

days, and his looks bore out his state

her appearance on the street was the
signal yesterday for the children to

witnesses say were done, because there
were some hard.headed men around on
