told him of the experiences Louise
Armstrong had had the night before
on the circular staircase, and about
the man who had so frightened Rosie
on the drive. 1 saw that he thought
the information was important, and to
my suggestion that we put an add
tional lock on the east wing door he
opposed a strong negative.

our visitor will be back again, and

l suggested that Alex, the gardener,
would probably be willing to help, and
Mr.. Jameson undertook to make the
arrangement. For m night, how
ever, Mr.. Jameson preferred to watch
alone. Apparently nothing occurred.

doing, he said afterwards, now and
then. Nothing could pass him in
either direction, and the door in the
morning remained as securely fast
ened as it had been the night before.
And yet one Of the most inexplicable
occurrences of the whole affair took
place that very night.
Liddy came to my DOR on Sunday
morning with a face as long as the
moral law. She laid out my things as
usual, but 1 missed her customary
garrulousness. l was not RECALLED with
the new cooks extravaganza as to
eggs, and sHc even forbore to mention
that Jameson" on whose arrival she
had looked with silent disfavor.

"Liddy Allen" I said, stop combing
that switch and tell me what is wrong
with YOU"
Liddy heaved a sigh.
Girl and woman" she said, I've
been with you rs years, Miss Rachel,
through good temper and bad the
idea! and what I have taken from
her in the way of sulks!-"but / guess
1 can't stand it any longer. My trunks

Who packed it," l asked, expecting
from her tone to be told she had
wakened to find it done by some
ghostly hand.
II did; Miss Rachel, you won't be-

enough to put your head in, and the
plaster's all over the place."
"Nonsense!" / said. "Pl1ster is al

But Liddy clenched that.
"Just ask Alex" she said. When
he put the new cooks trunk there last
night the wall was as smooth as this.
This morning it's dug out, and there's
plaster on the cooks trunk. Miss

.RENovATING THE SETTLE
OId-Fashioned Bench With a Back Can
Be Easily Converted Into a
Porch Couch.

If you are lucky enough to W one
of the long, old-fashioned settles that
are little more than wooden benches
with high, open back, 1t can be con-
verted into a novel couch for a porch
or the living room of a country house.
Fasten to each arm of the couch the
inverted lid of a large flower barrel.
This lid should have an inch-high rim.
If the dimensions are too large to fit
securely to the arm a prop can be add
ed on the outer edge.
This prop may be a strip of wood
fastened to the seat of the couch dag
onally, or a broomstick handle can be
nailed to the lid to form a leg.
The lids at each end of the settle
make convenient and ornamental
shelves for books, workbags and vases
of flowers. When the couch is COW
cred the lids can be adjusted in their
natural position.
To finish the settle scrape off the
paint and varnish and give all the
woodwork three coats of dark green.
dark red or white paint, ending with a
coat of enamel.
For the seat, make a thin mattress
stuffed with hair or some patent fill
ing. Cover with gay cretonne or dem
i'm. Arrange the cover so it buttons
at the back for greater ease in wash
ing. A fiat pillow or two can be ov-
cred with the same material.
When intended for indoor use the
settle may be left implanted, though
a coat or two of paint to make ends
and couch alike will cost little, II the
work is done at home.
Fasten a thin mattress to seat and
back and fit to the settle a cover Of
striped linen, such as is used for sum-
mer furniture coverings.
The inverted lids are supplied with
a separate cover of the linen. Where
the leg prop to the lid is used the
covering Is fitted around it to give the
effect of a winged couch. the covered
lid extending beyond 1t.
None of the woodwork of the settle
shows the cover reaching to the floor
all around. If making such a cover Is
beyond your skill, it can be done more
creaply by having an upholsterer cut
and fit it while you do the sewing and
binding.

CHAPTER XVIII.
A Hole in the Wall.

My taking the detective out to Sum
nyside raised an unexpected storm of
protest from Gertrude and Halsey. 1
was not prepared for it, and / scarcely
knew how to account for it. To me
Mr.. Jameson was far less formidable
under my eyes, where l knew what he
was doing, than he was off in the city,
twisting circumstances and motives to
suit himself and learning what he
wished to know about events at Sun
nyside in some occult way. l was
glad enough to have him there, when
excitements began to come thick and
fast.
A new element was about to enter
into affairs; Monday, or Tuesday at
the latest, would find DR.. Walker back
in his green and white house in the
village, and Louise's attitude to him
in the immediate future would signi-

One Side Enouuh.

Senator William Alden Smith tells
of an Irish justice of the peace out
in Michigan. In a trial the evidence

had made a long and very eloquent
argument, when the lawyer acting for

What are you doing?" asked the
Justice, as the lawyer began.

A Dainty Apron.

\ charming apron for Afternoon tea

three very deep scallops, each defined
by a line up the apron of wide ribbon

Lawyers have a peculiar system OF

to an amusing slip on the part of a

abandoned his profession and entered

CHAPTER XVII.-Continued.

"You heard no other sound?" the
coroner asked. There was no n
with Mr.. Armstrong when he en-
tered?"
TT was perfectly dark. There were
no voices and l heard nothing. There
was just the opening of the door, the
shot, and the sound of somebody fall
ing"
Then, while o went through the
drawing room and upstairs to alarm
the household, the criminal, whoever
it was, could have escaped by the east
door,"
yes"
Thank you. That will do"
I iatter myself that the coroner got
little enough out of me. l saw Mr..
Jameson smiling to himself, and the
coroner gave me up, after a time. l
admitted l had found the body, said I
had not known who it was until MI.
Jarvis told me, and ended by looking
up at Barbara Fitzhugh and saying
that in renting the house l had not
expected to be involved in any family
scandal. At which she turned purple.
The verdict was that Arnold Arm
strong had met his death at the hands
of a parson or persons unknown, and
we prepared to leave. Barbara Fftz-
hugh founced out without waiting to
speak to me, but Mr.. Harton came up,
as | knew he would.
You have decided to give up the
house, l hope, Miss Innes." he said.
Mrs. Armstrong has wired me
again"
81 am not going to give it up" L
maintained, until l understand some
things that are puzzling me. The day
that the murderer is discovered, l will
leave"
"Then, judging by what 1 have
heard. you will be back in the city
very soon," he said. And l knew that
he suspected the d~iscredited cashier
of the Traders bank.
Mr.. Jameson came up to me as l
was about to leave the coroner's Of
fee.
How is your ~patient?" he asked
with his odd little smile.
81 have no patient" 1 replied,
startled.
81 will put it in a different way,
then. How is Miss Armstrong;"
"She-she is doing very WELL" 1
stammered.
Good" cheerfully. And our ghost?
Is it laid?"
"Mr. JAMESON" l said suddenly, II
wish you would come to Sunnyside
and spend a few days there. The
ghost is not laid. / want you to spend
one night at least watching the cir
cular staircase. The murder of Arnold
Armstrong was a beginning, not an
end" F
He looked serious.
Perhaps l can do it." he said. 81
have been doing something else, but
well, l will come out tonight"
We were very silent during the
trip back to Sunnyside. l watched
Gertrude closely and somewhat sadly.
To me there was n glazing flaw in
her story, and it seemed to stand out
for every one to see. Arnold Arm
strong had had no key, and yet she
said she had locked the east door. He
must have been admitted from within
the house; over and over l repeated it
to myself.
That night, as gently as 1 could, /
told Louise the story of her step
brothers death. She sat in her big,
p%illow-nlled chair, and heard me
through without interruption. 1t was
clear that she was shocked beyond
words; if l had hoped to learn any
thing from her expression, l had
failed. She was as much in the dark
as we WERE.

Mule Discovers Rich Mine

Jake" Goetz and Harry Baer owned
the mule, and Judge Buck decided
that they were therefore entitled to a
grubstake interest in the mine. They

greater fortune accumulated in bust

GIRLS IN CITIES.
KAN3

The young girl who tried dramatic
ally to take her life in New York re-
Gently through disappointment and
disillusion placed the blame upon the
wrong shoulders. 1t In no degree
rests upon either the business or pub
lie social side of American life, says
Washington Post. The responsibility
for such an outcome must be borne by
those who are in duty bound to give
their children right views of life The
sight Of young girl, however preco-
cious. going to a city like New York
without friends or advisers to whom
she would listen, and very evidently
head-strong and impulsive. there to
spend two years writing a book and
precious manuscripts which she ro-
mantically wishes to be buried with
her, calls forth nothing but pity. But
this sentiment does not obscure the
fact that the girl was permitted to
gain false view of herself and her
relations with the world. Acts such
as hers In no degree justify the whole
sale condemnation OF the business life
OF our cities or warrant the sweeping
statement of a young girl facing at
once both womanhood and eternity In
saying that "a girl cannot get alorg
honorably In New York"
