ILLUSTRATED By PETER NEWELL

For good many years Artabanus
Bifhe, who lives on the Hill road just
west of Betzville, was troubled by the
ghost of his great-grandfather. He
often told Uncle Ashdod Clute that he
would not have minded the old gray
ghost so much if it had been an ordi-
nary well-behaved ghost, but, as he
expressed it, the blamed old shade
was too nosey for any use. No mat
ter what Artabanus or his wife start
ed to do, the old smoke-colored shade
would float up, with his eyes like an
owl, and stand awhile ''rubbering"-
that is the word Artabanus used-and
then he would begin telling them how
much better he could do whatever
they were doing, when he was alive
You can imagine that it made Arta-
banus mad if, just as he had squeezed
Is joints of close fitting stove pipe
together, and was standing on top of

held at arms length above his head,
and the left eye full of SCOT, the old
misty gentleman would float up and
begin to say he wished he had that
stove pipe to put up. Often, on such
occasions, Artabanus would speak
Grossly to the ghost, and then the IS

ers' clubs could descend and flung her
self upon Smiths breast, praying her
father to spare the condemned Eng

was spared. Had the rescue been
merely an act of girlish pity the af-
fair would probably have ended then
and there. But it did not. Smith
went back to his colonists at James
town. Pocahontas followed him. She
| risked her life to visit him there on
! every possible occasion. He told her
the colonists were starving. She and
her servants brought them food that
I tided them over a famine season."
But for her this first English colony
in America must have persisted for
| lack of provisions, But for her love
! for Smith she would never have trou-
bled to feed the settlers or to per-
suade her father to leave them in
peace. This is proved by the fact that
! after Smith went back to England Po-
cahontas lost all interest in the col
| Ony and neither returned to visit it
nor sent it aid. Whether or not Smith
reciprocated the savage maiden's love,
he undoubtedly made great use of it
in behalf of his suffering fellow-Eng-
lishmen. Whether or not Pocahontas
actually regarded herself as Smith
wife, she loved him devotedly to the
end of her days.
Smith fell i'll and left Virginia. Word
came that he was dead. Pocahontas

took her to London. There at court
she came face to face with Smith. At
first she thought she had seen ghost.
The unhappy girl fell to the floor in a
dead faint. Recovering, she threw her
arms about Smiths neck, covered his
bearded face with kisses and called
him countless endearing names. Sc
overcome with Joy was she at seeing
once more the man she had loved and
lost that she forgot all the stiff court
etiquette into which she had been sc
carefully drilled, and had no eyes for
Rolfe, nor for the king of England
himself, so long as Smith was pres.

A quick reaction followed upon her
joy Though Smith was alive, she
realized that she was bound for life
to another man. Rolfe, perhaps with
the idea of removing her from so dan.

Uncle Ashdod that If he was going to
get rid of ghost he wouldn't go
about it in that way. Then he snig-
gered
That sort of discouraged Artabanus,
but it set Uncle Ashdod thinking, and
he saw he had gone at the matter in
the wrong way. It stood to reason
that if you could expand a ghost you
could also contract it, and that if ex-
banding would not do the job, con-
tracing ought to-. So he had Arta-
banus send to the city for a Tripler

machine arrived they set it going,
and after it was running well and pro-
ducing a temperature of about 1000

Biffle came nosing around to see what
was up, and they suddenly pushed
him into the machine. In an instant
he was liquid ghost. He condensed

at each siding the grain elevator is
to be found. Manitoba being the

Alberta about 100000, while the Ca

are larger mills than will be found
