had we not ourselves heard the rap
ping noises, I should have felt that
Louise's imagination had run away
with her. The outer door was closed
and locked, and the staircase curved
above us, for all the world like any
other staircase
Halsey, who had never taken seri-
ously my account of the night Liddy
and 1 were there alone, was grave
enough now. He examined the panel
ing of the wainscoting above and be-
low the stairs, evidently looking for
secret door, and suddenly there flashed
into my mind the recollection of
scrap of paper that Mr.. Jameson had
found among Arnold Armstrong; eff
fects. AS nearly as possible re-
peated it's contents to him, while Hal
sey took them down in a notebook
81 wish you had told me this be-
FORE" he said, as he put the memo
randum carefully away. We found
nothing at all in the house, and I ex-
pected little from any examination of
the porch and grounds. But as we
opened the outer door something fell
into the entry with a clatter. 1t was
a cue from the billiard room.
Halsey picked it UP with an excla-
nation.
That's careless enough" he. said.
Some of the servants have been
amusing themselves
I was far from convinced. Not one
of the servants would go into that
wing at night unless driven by dire
necessity. And billiard cue! As a
weapon of either offense or defense
it was an absurdity, unless one ac-
cepted Liddy's hypothesis of a ghost,
and even then, as Halsey pointed out,
billiard-playing ghost would be a
very modern evolution of an ancient
institution
That afternoon we, Gertrude, Hal
sey and I, attended the coroner's in
quest in town DIR. Stewart had been
summoned also, 1t transpiring that in
| that early Sunday morning. when
Gertrude and had gone to our rooms,
he had been called to view the body.
| We went, the four of US. in the ma
| chine, preferring the execrable roads
to the matinee train. with half of Cas-
anova staring at U.S. And on the way
we decided to say nothing of Louise
| and her interview with her step
brother the night he, died. The girl
was in trouble enough as it was.

OGDEN FANS REPORT
SOME SIGNS OF LIFE

At the meeting OF the organization
committee of the Utah State league.
held last night, Salt Lake. Murray and
the Occidenta1s were represented. w.
E. Anderson, secretary OF the Ogden
club, phoned the chairman to the ef-
feet that the Junction city had just
completed its local organization yester-
day and would start out TO raise the
money today.
Mr.. Anderson stated that he thought
Ogden would be in line when the time
came, and that they would have rep
resentatfve at the next meeting of the
committee. After considerable informal
discussion the committee adjourned in
order that Ogden might be able to re-
port at later meeting The Ogden
boosters will be in position 10 know
whether or not 1t will be possible for
them TO have q team in the state league
after today's campaign for funds
There is q general feeling that Salt
Lake will have comparatively little diff
ficulty in raising its share of the sink
ing fund. The news that Ogden was
starting out in earnest to raise money
has given a great deal OF encourage
ment to those interested in launching
the state organization. The commit
tee Will meet again next Monday night

MURRAY AND 0CCIDENTALS
WILL MEET SUNDAY

The Murray and Occidental tea ms Will
meet for the third time this season at
walkers field Sunday afternoon. In
the first game, the colored boys carried
nome the bacon with the score of 8 to
s. Last Sunday Bert Margetts' ball
tossers evened up matters in an excit-
ing game, the score being TO s. Up
to the last inning ii was anybody's
game, and the large crowd present got
its moneys worth. The coming game
promises TO be an interesting contest,
and the supporters of both teams will
no doubt turn out in large numbers to
witness the sport.
