Atcherley affaby as he entered the
editorial room of the Advertiser Mon
day afternoon. "You remember that
the girl up there reported voices at
first, but that the people who came in
afterward could not hear them. Then
things began to fly about the room. l

prosecute people were then practising;
and being heard they went into the
attic of the Punchbowl house and per-
formed their polt-geist tricks-'Polt-
geisti' Yes, that is German for ghostly
manifestations-so as to divert atten-
ton from their sewer scheme. That
being done they were satisfied; but
they are in the sewers again.
"Do you know how the polt.geist
tricks were performedf' was asked
of the Doctorf
"Oh, yes, it S very simple. A little
hole is bored in the ceiling and u
weighted black thread with a hook

hold of things and makes them move.

dropped.
"Why should anybody take this

"Oh, you see the sewer gang, which
is organized to bedevil people, thinks
such things throw detectives off the
track. Some time ago head the voices
of these people and later they put a
man in the attic of my house ON En-,

a telephone. / often talk with the
people he is talking to and make them
laugh said the Doctor with the ut
most seriousness.
"Why don t you rout the man out -
"Oh, l went up there one night but
returned to get lantern. Then he
escaped. The people who saw him g
through the place where the telephon,
wires enter thought he had been there
to repair them. He is still there. HI
came back"
Merely as an off-hand incident, tn,
Doctor said he was sitting up with ;
loaded shotgun every night from l,

morning. When asked why he did no
shoot through the ceiling and at leas
scare the enemy away, he said if h.
did that he would be sent to the asy
lum. " You know what juries ar
here" he added.
"Of course, L shall shoot the maj

busy telephoning to the men in tn,
