OF closing down the bars entirely for

But the machinery for the enforce

point, and up to this time there has
been practically no enforcement in
any of the counties.
The provisions of the law for the

she had heard OF the old planta ton,
with its queer old mansion, and her
childhood had reveled in tales OF its an.
cient ghost, 1t was such silly, use,
less, mischieyous ghost, one that
amused itself humping down stairways
during quiet midnight hours or thought
II not unbecoming to ghostly dignity to
take all the covers of the bed on a cold
night and leave one trembling with ter
ror and cold combined.
Miss Wesley went, therefore, with
the avowed intention not only Of in
specting the property, but of meeting
the ghost she had inherited with it.
She took with her Dr. Howell's box
of candies, but she wore one of the
colonels red roses in the bosom Of her
travelling gown. Celeste, her French
maid, sat near her. smiling as if there
were something amusing in the atmos-
phere.
Three weeks later Colonel Carr met
DR.. Howell coming down the club
steps.
Colonel, have you heard of Miss
Wesley's terrible shock?" he asked.
The colonel stopped abruptly.
Terrible shock? No. What's hap
penedp he demanded abruptly.
Howell told the story with what
seemed to the anxious colonel unbear-
able slowness.
1t seemed that Miss Wesley's coach
man, left in town, had received letter
from his fiancee, Celeste giving all the
details of the mysterious affair. Ac
cording to Celestes animated narrative,
Miss Wesley had seen the family ghost
and the shock had been too much fOc
her. Her mistress hair had turned
snow white from the shock.
at is a strange phase Of nature said
Or. Howell "And to think of such
beautiful woman experiencing the loss
of that wonderful head of brown hair!"
sympathetically "They return TO the
city this afternoon, the coachman tells
me-" he added.

he should express his sympathy for tn
woman he loved.
"Yes, Miss Wesley Is at home an

selves upon the snowy hair piled in o
fluffy mass upon The top Of her head.
"You see, l am 70 be clasSed among
the old folks henceforth, colonel" she
responded TO The look in his eyes.

slowly. You are more beautiful than
ever"
The color that came into her face
justified his words. "pll sit out thl
dances with you now, colonel, Instead
of filling my programme with names.
The younger set will stand too much
in awe of my white hair TO ask me tc

He leaned over and touched the white

Miss Wesley sighed, then gave way
to an irrepressible giggle of amuse.

Colonel, do you think you could love
a deceitful woman?" she asked.
The colonel, although fifty, used the
perfectly proper reply to such a ques.

rapturously.
Listen to this story, colonel" She
took both his hands In hers and kept
her eyes on his. "Once upon a time
there was girl of twenty-four who
had so severe an attack of fever that
when she recovered and her hair grew
again it was snowy white. Her rela.
tives thought white hair at her age
would place her in trying position.
so they insisted that she dye it its nat

The colonel looked startled, but she

"She kept II dyed for fourteen
years" she continued "and kept look.

With the Help Of
the Ghost
BY TROY ALLISON
Copyright, 1905, by Homer Sprague

Miss Wesley actually had begun tC
wish she could look older. To be thir.
ty-eight and look twenty-five had it'
trials. In this instance It had it's OWL
particular drawback-the colonel was
fifty.
II the colonel had been less certain
that the younger men of his set were
altogether desirable and that they we're
in every way suitable for her to select
husband from, Miss Wesley would
have been better pleased andsprobably
would never have regretted looking sc
young. AS it was the colonel, although
his military bearing aud iron gray hai1
attracted attention under all circum.
stances, thought of his age and hesl.
tated to ask the popular young womaD
TO marry him.
The incident at the Mabreys' dance
convinced Miss Wesley that she had
given plenty of opportunities. 1t ap.
peared necessary that she give him not
only opportunity, but a helping hand.
This, she decided. she was quito pre-,
pared to dc. 1t only remained for he1
to decide the manner Of its doing.
On the night of the dance he had
come nearer mastering the necessary
courage than ever before, but just at
the moment when the air became
slightly charged with sentiment youna
DR.. Howell had come to their corner
of the library, and the colonel, with an
almost imperceptible sigh, had said the
young folks always had something to
talk over and he would go get his sup.
per and be off to bed as an old man
should.
Miss Wesley felt a moisture in her
eyes and decided, then and there, upon
the virtue Of the helping hand. There
was only the question of when and
how it should be administered.
The next week she announced her in.
tentiop of going south TO inspect some
old family property that had been left
to her six months before. All her life
