Three or four days passed zudora went
about her work Systematically One day she
came upon bit Of news that startled her
profoundly, 1t was Of such character that
she dared not impart this news to John He
must be kept in total ignorance The brain
that had instigatcd this really criminal Joke
was in New York It was the tool Of this
cunning brain she must bring to light and
confusion, Her unclel How the man hated

That night they all received a shock Tho
hand suddenly appeared on the side OF tho
house, and even as they rushed out to look
at IT, It slowly faded zudora throw q quick
clrcling glance but there was no spot Of light
In the distance to confirm her suspicious that
magic lantern was being focused against
the silo Of the house. The result Of this
visitation was the final exodus Of the help,
with the exception Of the housemad and tho
boy who did chores about the house, Tho
matter had been fully explained to these two.
None the less they we're badly frightened.

haunted Night after night, against the side
Of the hill, there appeared the heroic skele-
ton Of a human hand with black spot in
the center Of the palm, as if it had been
made by an enormous bullet No one could
get close to it. Invariably 1t vanished at the
approach Of any living being. This CHASTITY
thing waxed and waned something after the
manner Of the coal Of mans pipe or
course it was plain trickery, but one could
not impress the exctable negro mind with
this fact; and more than this, there were
many white people who were quite assured
that this skeleton hand presased the coming

or course there was no doubt in his mind
that some one was playing practical joke
Of grewsome sort; but he also realized that
It might turn into a serious affair if 1t was
permitted to continue lie laughed at one
moment and swore at the next. Why the
perpetrators Of the joke had selected the hill
back Of the Storm place set him to thinking
deeply, He decided to go home and lay the
ghost as the saying goes He packed up,
sent letter to zudora, and left town.
When zudora received the letter she was
greatly perturbed. 1t seemed to her that
what appeared as bit Of coarse foolery
might have as Its base something serious re-
garlng the welfare of her love and his peo-
pie, Rather dinideuty she sought Hassam

Her uncle shrugged. Some country

The County Vete erans.

The Orleans County Veterans asso-
citation met here on Monday, June ID.
After dinner served by the Woman s
Union and several selections by the
band exercises appropriate to the
occasion were held in the church. The
address of welcome was by Rev.
Glenn Douglass, an associate member
of Mason Post, who in his most pleas
ing manner spoke of the reasons why
the veterans were welcome - first
for what they had done in the
past when he likened them to the boy
of Holland, who held back the sea
with his coat and arm, here men held
back the tide of disrupted union with
their bodies. Second for what they
have done since as loyal citizens and
also for what they now are. the veter-
ans are welcome everywhere. Com
rade Wheeler of Troy spoke very thrill
lingly of the unknown dead. The w.
K. c. of Troy have this year erected
granite monument in their cemetery
at the unknown dead. Pres. Marnock
told of his experience in a southern
prison where from so up of the Union
soldiers died daily and were piled on
mule teams like cord wood, drawn to
shallow trenches buried as closely as
they could be piled in. Their company
and regiment were marked on a board
and these boards placed at the head
OF the graves, but in no wise indicated
that the man at whose head one stood
was the one numbered on the board as
