Rave me whole rars nest on us.-
And a lot of profanity which l won't
write down. The voices were at the
broken window now, and although
was trembling violently, I was de-
termined that ! would hold them until
help came. l moved up the stairs I'M
til I could see into the cardroom, or
rather through it, to the window. As
I looked a small man put his leg ove.
the sill and stepped into the room.
The curtain confused him for a mo-
ment; then he turned, not toward me,
but toward the billiard room door. I
fired again, and something that was
glass or china crashed to the ground.
Then I ran up the stairs and along the
corridor to the main staircase. Ger
trude was standing there, trying to
locate the shots, int ! must have
been a peculiar figure, with my hair
in crimps, my dr~essing-gown flying, no
slippers, and a revolver clutched In
my hand. l had no time to talk.
There was h sound Of footsteps in
the lower hall, and some one bounded
up the stairs.
/ had gone Berserk, I think. I
leaned ove the stair-rail and fred
again. Halsey, below, yelled at me.
What are you doing up there?" he
yelled. You missed me by an inch"
And then I collapsed and tainted.
When I came around Liddy was rub
bling my temples with eau de ~quinine,
and the search was in full blast.
Well, the man was gone. The stable
burned to the ground, while the crowd
cheered at every falling ratfer, and
the volunteer fire department sprayed
It with a garden hose. And in the
house Alex and Halsey searched every
corner of the lower floor, finding nc
one.
The truth of my story was shown
by the broken window and the over
turned chair. That the unknown lad
got upstairs was almost imDoss'h'e.
He had not used the main stnirc1s".
there wal no way to the ur"""
in the east wing, and Liddy ~
at the window, in the ~
where the servants stair went q
we did not go to bed at all. Sam Bo-
harmon and Warner helped in the
search, and not a closet escaped
scrutiny. Even the cellars were given
a thorough ~overhauling, without re
suit. The door in the east entry had
a hole through 1t where my bullet had
gone. The hole slanted downward,
and the bullet was embedded in the
porch. Some reddish stains showed 1t
had lone execution.
Somebody will walk lame" Halsey
said, when he had marked the course
of the bullet. Its too low to have hit
anything but n leg or foot"
From that time on ! watched every
person ! met for a limp, and to this
day the man who halts in his walk is
an object of suspicion to me. But
Casanova had no lame men; the near
est approach to it was an old fellow
who tended the safety gates at the
railroad, and he, / learned on inquiry,
had two artificial legs. Our man had
gone, and the large and expensive
stable at Sunnyside was a heap of
smoking rafters and charred boards.
Warner swore the fire was incendiary,
and in view of the attempt to enter
the house, there seemed to be no
doubt of 1t.

One of the most painful diseases
which afflict mankind is Rheumatism.

BITS OF WISDOM

World.

The Amite Parishes is given credit
in the press for the followin bit of
wisdom.
"This is a sort of topsy-turvy world.
No one seems to be satisfied One man
is struggling to get justice, and an
other is fleeing from it. One man is
saving up to buy house and another is
trying hard to sell his dwelling, for less
than it cost, to get rid of it. One man
is spending all the money he can earn
in taking a girl to theater or show and
sending her valuable presents III hopes
that he may eventually make her his
wife, and his neighbor is spending all
the gold he has saved UP trying to get
a divorce. One man keeps pistol to
protect himself against burglars, while
his neighbor doesn't keep one for fear
of shooting himself or some of his
family.
Zone man pays for his paper in adj
vance because he can read it with a
greater relish, while another takes it
four or five years without paying one
cent for it, and enjoys it hugely all the
while

A CORRECTION.

In the April number of Uncle Re
mus Home Magazine Carl Holiday
made the following statement, which
was copied in this column: Frances
Scott Key was born in Frederick Coun-
ty, Maryland. In that State he wrote
The Star Spangled Banner and yet
the only worthy symbol of appreciation
is not in Maryland but in far away Cal
ifornia. . Mr. Holiday was mistaken,
it seems, for in the June issue of the
same magazine comes a correction from
Miss Edith Richie of Frederick, Md.
She says "On August 9, 1893, at Fred

It's well enough to understand the

you halt people on the highway and try

If all the trouble in the world was to
take a notion to get out of it and go on
