BY MAUD WALKER.

Mrytle and May Jaeison were sisters, aged fourteen and twelve, respectively. Their home was on q farm adjoining a town that nestled in a wooded valley. Between the Jackson farm and the town stretched the town park. a lonely barren place-with Its gaunt trees and ice-paved waIks-during the winter. It was not a forbIdding place by daylight, but at night 1t was quite desolate enough to make an ordinary boy or girl feel creepy" If obliged to pass through 1t, unless accompanied by an adult.
 One evening. just after supper was over in the Jackson home, the son of ] distant relative of Mrs. Jackson came driving up in q sleigh. calling to Mrs. Jaekson-who had hurried to the door to greet him-that his mother was very III, and that be had come to take Mrs Jackson to her bedside.
 'I hope y0c eaD come with me, aunt mother thinks there Is no nurse fz the world like you"
 Certainly Jack, I'll be ready in a minute" promised Mrs. Jackson. Come in and warm yourself while get into my wraps"
 But Mamma" said May, what will Myrtle and I do-here alone? You know papa will not be home till tomor- row evening. and may be detained even longer, if the old jury doesn't agree"
 "Oh, is Uncle Frank on the jury7" asked Jack, who was warming his be- numbed fingers at the big base-burner which glowed with cheerful conls
 "Yes, and the case that is now being tried will not be given to the jury till tomorrow morning." said Myrtle "So you see. If mamma goes away sister and I will be here alone" QS
 Didn't Sam promise to return at bed timer asked Mrs. Jackson, drawing on her overshoes. She referred to their hired man, who was perfectly trustworthy in every respect, and who had lived with the Jackson family since Myrtle and May were mere tots. And many and many a time he had looked after the house, the children and the farm in the absence of MT. and Mrs. Jackson.
 'Oh If Sam returns before bedtime it's all right" said Myrtle. But you know he has a long ride before him. Where did he go?" asked Jack, who, as a relative of the family, held the right

FINE MEETINGS OF
 CANTALOUPt GROWERS
Demonstrations of Present Necessities For the Care of the Growing Crop.

There was a fine turnout of the can taloupe growers of the Phoenix lsso- citation yesterday afternoon at the Santa Fe ranch south of the insane asylum. the occasion being the bi- weekly visit of Field Expert Caldwell lader. who represents the commission men, The meeting was for the pur- pose of a demonstration to the grow CTS cf the things they should do just at this time for the best results dur ing the present season. c. A. Broom ell who is in charge of the Santa Fe ranch is a skilled farmer and has a fine stand of melons, the place being an exceptionally good one for the demonstration
 Mir. Cadwallader gave full directions and after the meeting the growers an- nounced that they had been informed on very many things that are import ant just at this time. There was lots of enthusiasm and they appreciate the work of the field expert.
 Asked concerning the cantaloupe outlook in general in this valley. Mir. Cadwallader said the people here, not withstanding it is their first season in the business, have better prospects than many of the older growers in the Imperial country There is good stand and the plants for the most

 Half an hour later found Myrtle and May in their bed, the moon peeping In through the window to keep them con- pany-

 Thus reasoned the two frightened girls But what could be the meaning of that noise! Then, as the tap, tap. tap came again Myrtle's eyes filled with a sudden horror, and putting her lips to Mays ear she whispered: Maybe it's a-a-a- ghost. l have never believed Tn such things, and mamma and papa laugh at the mere mention of the name; but what else than a ghost would make that strange noisei"
 May shivered at her sisters sugges- ton. and Involuntarily dropped down into bed again. covering up her head Not so with Myrtle. She wanted to hear Rll that was going on. Her fear would not allow of her hiding her head On the other hand. she wanted to defend her sister and herself With mighty resolve she stepped from the beG and tip-toed to the wall, placing her ear against the spot where the sounds had issued from.

 But at this instant a mighty stamping and knocking on the door sounded down stairs. and Sans voice was calling for admittance. It didn't take Myrtle and May an hour to get down to the hall door, and to tell Sam all about the ghost In the storeroom.
 Well, we'll have that ghost. dead or alive" declared old Sam, striding up the stairs and right into the storeroom. But nothing could induce the girls ts accom- pSny him. and they stood shivering in the hall. waiting for Sam's dying shrlek or his live explanation They lived many days during those two minutes of Sani's stny Tn the storeroom.

And both girls joined Sam In laugh that rang over the house, reaching even to the haunted storeroom where the clothesline had ceased to tap. seeing that sam had closed the window. And then peace and sleep reiGned in the house. for the ghost had departed and Sam had re- turned.

 You are a great wiseacre," laughed Mrs. Jackson, stroking Myrtle's hair ten derly. But, be not afraid. Even though Sam were detained an hour or so you two girls are perfectly safe here Lock up the house securely, draw down the shades, and people passing will never know that two little girls hold the fort alone. And now, goodby, dearies, I must hasten to your poor auntie's bedside" And Mrs. Jackson kissed her daughters goodby and was soon on her way to minister to her sick relative
 Myrtle and May locked and fastened doors and windows, not waiting for the night to fall before securing themselves in their stronghold.
 iSay, Sister," said May, excitedly. "I have thought of plan to fool anyone who might be skulking about to do mis- chief here while we are alone. Sup- pose we light up the parlor, the hall and sitting-ro and maybe mammas room up stairs. Then let's play the plano and sing with all our might, and anyone pass Ing Will think party Is in progress"
 Myrtle laughed at her sisters plan and said she thought 1t quite unnecessary to go to so much trouble, and that she preferred to pass the evening in a book that was most instructive and entertain ing. Besides" she went on. Sam will doubtless turn in just as the clock strikes eight You know how punctual he ls Were he out of his bed at 9 o'clock l think the world would stop"

 An incident of yesterdays meeting of the Phoenix association was the discussion of the proposed shutting off of the water in the canals for two weeks during the heading in of the Arizona canal at Granite Reef.
