The wildeyed boys stared for only mo-

them. Before them stood Jack Ball. a
small megaphone In his hand. His coat
was dripping with rain. Holding up his
hand. Jack spoke: You see, Art,

of these kids any longer, SO thought

such towards that the darkness nf night
caused them the greatest terror. For
Artie always laid the scenes of his ghost
stories at night. and accompanied them
by storms and dreary rains. Consequent
ly, when it stormed there were about q
dozen little boys In the town who were
afraid to put their noses out of doors,
and If obliged to run on an errand would
fancy they saw spooks and ghosts and
goblins grabbing them from every corner.
And this condition of juvenile fear was
caused by Arties ghost stories.

Jack. talking to himself. But on my
honor. 1 don't see any other way OF
curing Art of his ugly fault against the
younger kids. except by using his own
weapons against him. They say it takes
a thief to catch a thief; SO the same prin-
ciple may be applied in Arts case. 1t
will take spook to frighten him out OF
his spook manufacturing business. And
it will require deception to make him
see the spook. which, not being one of

that after all there are such unnatural
things as ghosts and goblins.'

frightening boys younger than himself by
telling to them most narrowing ana
blood-curdling ghost stories, or spook

of course, there are spooks, ne Wouio

would ask: Really, are there ghosts,
Artie?"
Then, IL invited to relate some story in
which "spook' was the hero or heroine
Artie would pull long and serious face
and say: II oughtnt to tell you kids of
the spooks, for you'll turn pale to your
marrer bones. Honest, l oughtn't to tell
you about horrible spook l saw the

Then. Of course. the kids who were
in danger Of turning pale to their mar

hero. Archie. and coax from MIN the
story he was SO anxious to tell. But be-
ing a born story teller" and therefore,
possessing the story tellers tact, Artie
would pretend his unwillingness to speak

and knowing all the time that he'd END
by goving not only one story. but two or
three. In fact, he'd ..story' till the little

Now, in the same town with Artle Jones
lived another boy of strong characters
tics but somewhat different In dlspo-
sition from Artie. His name was JACK
Ball and he was about Artie's own age
and size. Jack was most scrupulous
boy in regard to truth. any form or de-
ceit being despised by him, and he often
spoke very plainly to Artie on the subject
of his shortcomings. But Artie would
split hair over little matters. So long
as my stories-even If wholly manufac-
tured by me-amuse the kids, why
shouldn't tell them? And l find such
pleasure III entertaining the youngsters,
and it's funny to see their hair begin
stiffening as I unfold my spook story"
I'm not objecting to your telling sto-

planned Jack. when he and Artie were in
argument one day. but l do object to
your pretending to the kids that the
stories are true. If you'd confess that
you were simply romancing and tell the
hoax why, I'd say go ahead and build
up all the ghost stories you want
Then the subject was dropped and Ar
tie went home, creating another blood
curdling "spook" story to inflict on the
credulous little chaps who would assem-

FIND BOYLE GUILTY
ACCUSED OFFERED NO DEFENSE,
AND THE JURY WAS OUT BUT
A FEW MOMENTS.
STATE OFFERED STRONG CASE
Prosecution Proves Boyles' Every
Move From Time "BiIIy" WhitlaW
Was Abducted From School
Until He Was Arrested.

Mercer, P~a.-James Boyle, charged
with kidnapping Billy Whital, was con-
victed Thursday after a trial lasting
a few hours. No defense was made
and the jury was out but a few min
utes.
Mrs. Boyle was Immediately placed
IN trial, charged with aiding and
abetting the kidnapping. Hardly had
the jury been sworn in the woman's
case when the lawyers became en-
gagged in an argument regarding the
admission of certain testimony, and
the case was adjourned until Holiday.
The first witness called in Mrs.
Boyle's case was Miss Ella Boyle, a
sister of James Boyle. Apparently
from the line of questioning the
prosecution wanted to prove by her
that the kidnapping conspiracy was
formed while Mrs. Boyle was visiting
in Sharon with her husband.
. 1t is predicted that the woman's
trial will not be completed before Sat
urday afternoon at the earliest.
Mrs. Boyle took a prominent part
in the selection of her jury Thursday,
prompting her attorneys in numerous
cases and evidencing a preference for
young, unmarried jurors.
That Boyle's trial came to such an
abrupt ending, Immediately after the
state had rested, was due to the fact
that so strong a case had been made
against him.
From the night before the abduc-
ton, when he was seen in Sharon, till
the time of his arrest in Cleveland,
almost every movement he made was
testified to by n or more witnesses.
A man who hired him a horse and
buggy. another who saw Boyle driving
with BILLY" in the buggy, the barber
who saw the two together and shaved
Bovle's mustache off, train. and cleo
trio railway conductors, who saw the
couple on the way to Cleveland and
identified them in court, all told sto-
ries which fitted in perfectly with
that of BILLY" Whitla, and left no
doubt as to the part Boyle had taken
in the case.
When the state rested, counsel for
the defense held a conference and an
nounced that they would offer no evil
dence. The court at once summed up
the evidence, and gave the case to the
jury.
The penalty is from one year to a
life sentence in the penitentiary. Sen
tence has not been pronounced yet. :

TO FIGHT GLUCOSE TRUST
Royal Baking Powder Company Heads
New $3o,ooo,ooo Corn Products
Company.

Chicago.-A concerted attempt by
independent glucose companies to
break the Corn Products company,
popularity known as the trust, became
known Saturday, when the report
spread that a new combination will be
formed.
The Corn Products company is said
to be controlled by the Standard Oil
company of New Jersey. The Royal
Baking Powder company, a $40, 100000
corporation, is reported to be the
backbone of the new combination, AMI
other concerns with a capital aggre-
eating $1,000, 900 more are reported to
be ready to come into the combine.
Among these is the National Candy
company of Clinotn, Iowa, a $3,OOO,0O
corporation; the American Maize Pro-
duct company of Roby, Ind, the Irwin
Bros. company of Indianapolis and the
Hubinger company of Keokuk, Iowa.
The combine is said to have been
started as the result of a fight be-
tween the Royal Baking Powder COM
pany and the National Candy CON.
pany against the Corn Products COM
pany. The Corn Products company
contemplated entering the baking
powder and candy fields to r~etaliate
upon these two rivals, and the pres
ent reported combination is the re-
suit.
