"Voice an knockin'! DR.. Laneham,
you've got IA long way beyond that. Now
tell me your idear. What is any seance
goin to do? Come, now-speakin' man
to MANI"
And with frankness Laneham told him:
"This: | hope it may give us Mrs.
Fishers murderer. | hope it may even
furnish the evidence for his conviction.
In fact, there's such thing, you know, as
making your murderer convict himself"
"All right-go ahead. | give you my
blessin'. An who do you want to have
there? Glasbury, first of all?"
"If he's physically up to it by tonight.
"An' if he's not? You'll postpone it?"
"Yes, for a day or two"
"Good You'll be wantin' those ele-
vator-boys, too?'
Both of them. Will you see to that?"
They'll be there!"
"And I'd like to have Grogan-your
patroman who was with poor Hooey
when they got him. Then, of course,
there will be yourself and Willings and
Judge Bishop and myself.
"What about Fisher? Oh, don't pdnt
him. He's sure the original blighter.
No more mercy to him than the chair
itself! I've been fghtn' him off Glasbury
ever since he heard of him. But it's his
right you know An when your holdin'
it in his apartment?'
"Very we'll: have him also
HE decided in the end, to use the
"morning-room, the room between
Mrs. Fishers bedroom and the library.
But in practically every room there was
something to be done.
First of all, Laneham had brought in
half dozen full-length mirrors.
1--WE shall sit here, III the morning room"
he said; "but we must be able to com
mand the whole apartment from one end
to the other. And, if we leave the doors
open and arrange these mirrors properly,
we can do it easily enough. You'll have
noticed that in the door to the pool there's
already one to start with.
He had got some black velvet, and was
making every window absolutely dark.
Its necessary" he explained; land |
believe the medium will also wish to con
troll all inside lights
He had not told, as yet, who his medium
was.
Il got her through Peterson, he said;
"and she has worked for the Psychical So
ciety Except for that, it's Just as well
that she should be unknown.
Save Laneham himself, none saw her
until the night when they We're taking
their places for the soance itself.
In a sense, they did not see her then.
For she was still in her cabinet the right
hand corner of the room, cut off from
them by another velvet curtain. The
Doctor assigned them to their places. He
did it without comment or explanation.
But already, even upon the Judge, there
was the feeling of the weird and the i'm
pending.
To the last, he kept Glasbury outside.
"Laneham,' he said, "once more, you
yourself see the shape he's in; and, If he
were thousand times guilty
Il know it, know it," the Doctor an
swered. "But I've never said that he was
guilty. The thing must go on now; and
he must take part in it.
SO Glasbury was brought in. And he
could sec or feel for himself what was
preparing.

ELGIN RACES START
AT II A. M. TODAY
Stars and Dark Horses to Conspcte
for Road Honors for Cup
and Purse.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service1
ELGIN. Ill, Aug. 20.-The annual
Elgin road race. scheduled to start at
II o'clock today was featured into a
two sided battle-between the talent
and unknown.
The known stars, Oldfeld, Earl
Cooper, DePalma, Anderson and
O'DonneII. each was confident of win
ming and expected to break road rec
ords. Both Cooper and DePalma
have held the road championship
title. The dark horses have done lit
tie talking. They were out to make
a rep.
The race was for the Chicago auto
cup trophy and purse Of $4,000 and
open to any car with piston displace-
ment OF $50 cubic inches and under.
The distance will be 301 miles.

RECORD AT HOME
HAS BEEN GOOD

Well, If the Indians cop To-Day
game, the home series will have been
a good one indeed. So far the tribe
has won four and lost two at home,
making two-thirds average. Keokuk
has also won eight out OF the last ten
games played and should have had
nine. The tribe is showing unusual
strength near the end OF the season
while Muscatine apparently is on q
continuous slump. The game the
Muskies won yesterday was the hrst
for such long time that it gave Ned
Egan a pain to count back. Keokuk
don't have to trim Muscatine to go to
second place. Just let the two teams
go along as they have been doing for
the past two weeks and nothing on
earth can keep Keokuk out OF sec
ond position.

SOLD ELLISON ON
OWN RECOMMENDATION

Manusch said when he was In Keo-
kuk that he sold Ellison on his own
recommendation. He did the same
with several Keokuk players when he
was here two years ago. 1t seems TO
be the opinion here that had a Detroit
scout lamped Ellison in action here,
the offer would have been nearer IS
than $500.
Manush said that he had seen an
offer by big league team for McGaf-
figan, whom he sold to Lincoln two
years ago, the consideration being
81, goo down and $4,000 more If he
made good. George seemed to think
the short stop was destined for the
big company.

FIGHT FOR FOURTH
PLACE HARD ONE

Mason City and Cedar Rapids are
lighting desperately for fourth place
and Muscatine will undoubtedly soon
be joining In the fray. Every other
day or so one or the other takes the
lead, only to drop back. II Cedar
Rapids had those eleven games that
Justice threw out, the team would
have fourth place cinched, but the
next three clubs are so much higher
than the rest that 1t would really
make no difference in the final count
for the Bunnies would be unable to
get in the king row even with their
eleven.

WALTER JOHNSON
BACK IN FORM

WALTER JOHNSON
BACK IN FORM
Walter Johnson's sudden return to
form after many critics believed the
great strain had ruined his arm. re-
calls one Of the peculiar things about
pitchers. Not one pitcher In one hun
bred knows how he is pitching or
realizes when he changes his deliy-
cry.
johnson changed his delivery about
two years ago. He did it partly be-
cause he was studying what Dad
Clarke used to call "a new system OK
slants,''
Recently Johnson decided to cut all
frilis and pitch his old smoke ball"
as he always had done. The effect
was instantaneous in the first game
he used his speed and fast curve
alone: opposing batters returned 70
the bench with the sad fidings that
the great Walter was himself again.
Ed Reulbach is an example OF
pitchers who do not know when or
how they change styles. When he
was with the Chicago Cubs. 1t was
constant fight to keep him pitching
overland. The moment he began to
tire bit or get hit, he commenced
pitching more and more sidearm.
The moment his arm started to
swing downward, Chance Tinker ana
Evers would start yelling: Keep
that arm up."

BUSH GETS BY
ANOTHER DAY.

Umpire Bush got by yesterday
with just two questionable decisions,
but he was in for his share OF roasts.
The crowd was a small but select
one and the fans spoke right out IN
the meeting and some OF their re-
marks must have made the jumps
vince. 1t is a lucky thing that Keo-
kuk is the most lenient town In the
league with umpires. Things go here
that would never be tolerated in the
northern cities.
On the opening day, two umpires
were run out OF the grounds in the
upper cities and did not come back.
and later three others resigned after
receiving a sample of the wrath OF
C. A. bugs. One OF the jumps who re-
signed wrote President Justice that
he wouldn't umpire in this league
again for a million dollars.
