NO REASON NOW WHY THE GUGGENHEIMs

 The Copper River route, If selected would have included the purchase of the Morgan Guggenhem railroad Possibly the administration feared that such selection would have been wise politically At any rate, the Morgan Guggenhem interests longer need have fear of petition in their particular territory and there why they should hesttae to develop the road the the resources of the territory traversed
 There two sides to problem and is likely that the administration forsaw considerable advantage Alaska resulting from the selection of the Seward If there should be two good railroads in Alaska, both developing rich territory boom would be evitab Moreover there would be excellent opportunity for the country to compare govern ment management with private operation Washington Post

was led In. AND after him, IN McGloyneS S
keeping, We're the two West Indian ele-
vator-men. 1t would be absurd to say
that they We're white; but their eyes
showed white And from the beginning
they rolled them from side to side in deadly
fear.
For another moment Laneham waited.
Then he closed the door, found his way
to his own chalr,-the one nearest the
cabinet, the last light went out.
There was a sort of rustic of the sable cur
tain. One could feel, rather than see, that
the medium had come forth. And next
moment she was lighting some kind of
dim and tiny lamp.
TT merely made the darkness visible. 1t
did not even let them see her face. Ap-
parently she was wholly covered by kind
of gray-white cowl, pierced at the eyes.
But even of that Willings could not be
certain. He only knew that she was
motioning them to place their hands
upon the table. Then, when they had
done it, as if with the mere passing of her
own hand that little light began gradi,-
ally to die down. 1t died and died, SO
slowly that they did not really know when
it was wholly gone And, while that sur
rounding darkness seemed tangibly to
creep upon them, all sat silent, rigid and
unmoving.
For minute they sat so-for two, for
three; ten minutes, indeed, it might have
been. And then
Slowly at first, then more quickly, the
table itself was moving.
hn
tables are supposed to do at seances. 1t
was not turning or moving from side
to side. 1t was as if it's surface had be-
come charged and wavelike, as if it were
rising and pushing itself against their
palms in waves of living power. Willings
knew, from the little outbreathed gasps of
those about him, that the Others felt it
also. And he looked again at the medium
In one sense he could not see her In an
other he could see her with distinctness
more than earthly. For the outline of her
head and shoulders seemed pricked out in
species of wavering, shifting phosphor-
escence. And, at the same moment, from
the direction of the library and the little
writing-room, he heard sound, a sound
of rapplng.
1t was precisely that same rappng that
had followed the murder, and, even as
then, it seemed to stop his heart. He
knew. too, that the same shudder was
going through the circle from end to end.
He looked back at the medium. That
phosphorescence was gone. Save for a
moving grayness, one could no longer have
said that the woman was even there.
And then the next thing followed. DR..
Laneham, after placing his mirrors, had
closed all the doors and locked them. But
nowhere could be no doubt of it
slowly, without the help apparently either
of hand or key, one of those doors was
opening.
From the nearest mulatto elevator-man
came long, shuddering whine of terror.
"Oh, havens above, boss, he said,
"h'avens above! KANT stand this! My
Lawd. let me out!"
IF you go out now,' breathed Lane
ham, you go alone.
At the same moment the rapping had
come again. And the fellow dropped back
into his chair in new reaction of fear.
Boss" he began, "I-I--1-"
"Gawd!"
1t was Grogan who spoke then.
For something was moving and swelling

death-and, "Oh, God! Oh, my God, my
God!" it cried.
They We're Glasbury's words, and it was
Glasbury's voice. And yet, beside him,
Willings could feel the man himself. He
put out his hands and touched him-a
touch that came back to him in an an
swering shudder.
But the medium now was speaking:
"Whom do you seek?"
"Him who knows the answer came.
"And how will you know him." she
asked again.
"By what he will know-the signs of
death and the things of DEATH
For a moment there was silence again,
silence almost more unnerving than that
horrid dialogue itself. Then:
"And what are the things of death, the
medium asked.
Again one of the elevator-men tried to
get to his feet.
"Sit down." whispered the Doctor, cor
it will be the worse for you.
what are the things of death?" the
cowled figure asked again.
The tiny lamp was apparently alight
dSdlll, anu III tIItW d tllSh vi
light upon the table.
Again the answer came:
"The first is this.
Willings put out his hand as if to guard
himself. But there was no need. What
was falling from nowhere upon the center
of that table was nothing that could harm.
AT first-in that half darkness-it seemed
liquid. Then, as it piled itself up, they
could see that it was merely common salt.
Yet, at that same moment, there was a
sound as of some one getting jerkily up
from his place, and then forcing himself
back to his scat again.
"And the second is this.
Again from nowhere there dropped into
that disk of light tiny wire. 1t was not
gold. 1t did not seem to be silver In a
curling, dancing spiral it danced before
them elfishly, then was gone.
"And the third is this.
Once more the table was clear Then,
where the salt had been, there appeared
first green-covered magazine, and then
in its place-a little pile of gray-brown,
breath-blown ashes.
Again some one had started to rise,
with the gasp OF one who tries to breathe
through throat dried gaggingly.
RUT, at the moment, no one gave heed.
For-a all could hear it plainly-the door
began to open to those rooms behind
them, to the bedroom and the dressing
room. There remained only the door of
the swimming-pool itself. And then,
from the other side of it came second
sound Of rapping.
He'll" choked McGloyne. He'll
"She must come out! She must come
OUT"
The thing in that middle room was
speaking again: "The woman who is dead
is seeking some one. He, and only he,
must open to her.
Again came the rapping. Yet still no
one stirred.
"Then-then | must open to herr
But it went no further.
LET me out. Let me out."
The cry was bursting from some one in
endless shrieks. \ chair had fallen, too
and another. A whole group
of figures, indeed, seemed to reach the
door together. And moment later pur-
suers We're minglng with pursued. Will
ings saw only that one figure had disap-
peared into the central stairway-the
