of making way with them. The Tut

bank and Henry was vice-president-
had exonerated Ned. but he had not
been reinstated, and the finger of sus-
picion still pointed at him and the
tongue of gossip still babbled about
him.
Masquerade parties are much alike.
and Dorry's was no exception to the
general rule. They played the same
old games and danced the old-fash-

Hecker family.
The old umbrella member created q
diversion by stepping into the middle
of the floor and lifting his hand.

At once he was surrounded by the
gay crowd, and his fortune telling was
so wittily enlivened that the room
rang with laughter. Once he came
close to Henry futile and whispered:
please point out to me young
man named futile"
And Henry coolly nodded toward
Ned Allen, who stood near by. Five
minutes afterward Henry futile had
disappeared from the rooms.
Derry Hendryx had heard question
and answer, and Henry's duplicity had
startled her. Who was the umbrella
member and what did he want Of
Henry and why had Henry lied?

vergehr fights met on broad .zad-
ing and merged into q wider stairway
leading to the hall below. One by one
the ghostlike male figures passed
down the left-hand flight. On the
broad landing each pair of ghosts met
and passed silently down the broad
steps and disappeared in the semi
darkness Of the drawing room. from
which, later, came many gay yells of
recognition.
Madge was the last girl to gu down.
The strong-armed ghost who met her
guided her quickly from the foot OF
the stairway out under the heavy
hangings which concealed the back
hall.
Up the narrow back stairway he ST.
lently urged her. then up the stairway
leading to the now deserted ballroom
on the third floor. The stiffness of
the dimly lighted ballroom was in
tensified by the occasional sounds of
laughter from far below. Her strong
companion grasped Madge's hands
firmly but very tenderly, and ss he
bent over and looked into her eyes he
spoke to her in voice that sounded
familiar and at the same time unlike
any voice she had ever heard.
Little ghost" said the voice, I've
travelled far and fast to find yor and
because I've been kept away from you
so long I'm selfish enough to stea' you
away from all the other ghosts Do
you carer"
DO l care?" repeated Madge, who
was strangely thrilled by the deep
voice and strangely uncertain wheth-
er she had heard it before.
The big ghost released her he nds.
and with one Of his own strong hands
pulled the pillow slip over her head,
at the same time pulling larger one
from his own head. and Madge looked
blushingly up into the smiling face of
Stanley Parker. He smoothed his
rumpled black hair and she smoothed
her wavy. auburn hair. His brown
eyes laughed down into her hazel
eyes. Then his two strong hands took
both of her slender hands, and in
voice more soft, more deep, more alto
gether wonderful than she had ever
heard. he said, "Madge, do you care
for me?"
And this time Madge answered
promptly, though almost inaudibly:
Eyes, Stanley. Oh. how | care."
Long before he had finished telling
her how he came by the last train
and dilapidated jtney in order to be
with her at this party, or before
she had finished telling him she
had hoped that he would miracult usly
appear at the last minute, the sound
of laughing voices on the stairway
reached them. In voice of friendly
warning. Mrs. Smith called, "Oh. we're
coming to rout the ghosts from the
ballroom by singing Aud Lang
Syne.

cOar or blue satin, was waiting his
turn to have his palm read by the
quasi-fortune teller. who WAS giving
tiny metal trinkets right and left.
A little silence fell upon the room
as the fortune teller bent low over
Ned Aliens hand. Perhaps curiosity
prompted some to wonder IL the for
tune teller might not reveal the guilt
or innocence Of Ned Allen.

Ter briskly. Il can see that you are

-Aand-just favor me with your thumb

hobby. Thank you. sir-ah!"
Amid subdued laughter the UNI
brella member held strip of glass to
the light. and turned and stared at
Ned Allen through the eyehole Of his
mask, then hastily tore off his own
mask and revealed nut-cracker face
convulsed with anger and surprise.
Henry Tuttle," he commanded
sternly, remove your mask"
Ned tore off the mask and faced the
room.
Ned Allen!" A score of voices
breathed his name convincingly
Where is Henry Tuttle?" demand
ed the umbrella mender.
HE is not here" said Mrs. Hendryx
with much displeasure. May in

The detective disappeared and after
a while excitement was subdued and
the dancing went on. Suddenly Derry
found herself standing in a curtained
bow window with Ned Allen.
Look. Dorry," said Ned quietly.
Derry looked at the tiny object in
his extended palm.
THAT is my charm, Dorry," said
Ned. THE fortune teller predicted

Sewing Machine Moods.

Among the worst offenses Of the sew
ing machine is its refusal to bulge. 1t
may appear to be in perfect condition,
clean and well oiled; but, no matter
whether the material Is thin or thick,
soft or hard, the wheel refuses to move.
When this occurs lay a strip Of paper
both over and under the seam to be
stitched and sew steadily, evenly and
with a little force. The paper can be
taken away after the seam is sewed.
One might get the machine out OF its
mood by using a bit of odd cloth and
the papers afterward, sewing the
seams covered with the papers If time
were NO object.
Another annoyance is the thread
breaking. This is usually the upper
thread, and it will always break If the
tension is too great. But If one is sure
Of perfect adjustment then the cause
Of the trouble must be sought else
where 1t can generally be found In
the narrow groove through which the
thread passes to the needles eye. This
groove is the exact width Of the thread,
and when a rough place in the thread
is reached it snaps, because it cannot
pass on. A small file applied to the
edges Of the groove will open it enough
to remedy the trouble. A roughened
thread will often go through the eye
OF the needle when 1t will not pass the
groove.
When the machine drops stitches as
1t works it is due, as a rule, to the ac-
cumulation of lint caught by the feed.
Remove both slides and feed plate (the
latter is attached with a screw, then
turn back the head Of the machine and
with an oil rag on a toothpick or any
thing pointed remove all the small par
dcles of dust found there.

The base ball team of the Anglesea
Baptist Sunday school played their
first game with the Tuckahoe Baptist
Sunday school team on Friday, July Is.
Quite a number of our Sunday school
scholars accompanied the team in auto
mobiles donated through the kindness
of Mark B. Reeves, a contractor and
builder Of Wild wood. Wash. B. Hill
ton, also a contractor of Wildwood, and
William Gardner, the manager of the
team, to these men the boys and Sun
day school wish to express their sincere
thanks. The procession Of four autos
all beautifully decorated left the church
at 1890 p. M, and on our way up quite
a number of tunes were played by our
Sunday school orchestra, n OF which
was "Way Down Upon the Swanee
River" while passing through the
town OF Whitesboro. Quite a number
of boxes packed with everything that
was good to eat were taken along, intact
30 inviting were the lunches, some OF
our appetites seemed to tell us that
there was no special need of our wait
ing until Tnckahoe was reached before
opening them, consequently a royal
feast was held on our way up.
Upon arriving at Tuckahoe we found
there q delegation of good players wait
ing to capture our scalps, but the Angle
sea boys were wise in not only taking
along a team of good players, but also
q large number of good r%ooters, and
between the rooters and players COM
bined, the game ended with a score OF
u to 4 in favor of the Anglesea Baptist
Sunday school team. Credit must be
given to the boys of Tuckahoe for they
played good clean base ball. Through
out the game there was a proper spirit
of good feeling between the two teams
each cheering the other when ever q
good play was made. We are In hopes
Of having our Tuckahoe friends play
us a return game on our diamord a.
Anglesea lin the neal future, and it il
to this game that we specially invite
our kind hearted Mayor McLinden
who supplied our team with suits, bast
ball, bats and gloves, to be present and
see how our Toys are playing in ap
probation for his gift to them.
1 tell you when the officials of oul
town join hands with different churches
in order that u young might find
proper recreation and enjoyment al
home there need be no fear existing
within our minds that our town vii
not grow and that our young will drift
to other places and as it grows there
will be a proper spirit for uprightness
of character, inculcated within theil
hearts. Again we cordially invite
everyone to attend our Sunday schoo.
at 10 a. M. every Sunday morning
Always welcome. Come and spend 8
pleasant hour with us.

There was one on Indian Creek and
another on Hickory Creek. The In
dams were roaming over the country
stealing and now and then killing
people and burning their homes. The
red men came down within six miles
of us and captured Mrs. Shegog and
her baby, then killed the baby. Mrs.
Shegog wrapped buffalo robe
around herself, slipped away from
house and was saved. The Indians
also stole two little girls and the
settlers crowded them so close, they
killed the little girls and burned sew
eral houses. They captured Mrs.
Box and four children-three girls
and one boy-after they killed Mr..
Box, the husband and father. They
later killed Mrs. Box's baby because
it cried. They kept Mrs. Box and
the two girls for three years. and
then brought them in to the Indian
agency at Fort Sill near where Law
ton, Oklahoma now is, and sold them
to the United States. The mother
and girls had not seen each other
from the time they, were captured
until they were brought to Fort Sill.
The grass was fine all over the
country. We could go out in the
morning before breakfast and kill a
deer or turkey, as game was plentiful
and fat. The turkeys would sit on
