himself

Il lifted the arm. Suddenly

or charged with electricity. Then
I let go. The hand, as IL fell, struck
my cheek. II is nothing"
But Captain Marshall, returning.
ordered him to go to the nearest
doctor.
1T may be nothing" said Swan,
under his breath TO Marshall, but
! am afraid am terribly afraid"
After Green had been led away
Swan turned his attention to the
skeleton once more
I'VE must do something" he said.
There is a man hidden away here
He must be found, IL we smash in
the wall to do IT, You grinning
abomination!" he cried, turning to
the skeleton. What is your secret.
and how can i wrest IL from you?"
Swan remembered that Green had
said that upon lifting the arm he
had experienced a sensation as of
life or movement in the skeleton:
he therefore carefully gripped the
bones Of the right forearm and
gradually raised them above his
head. He had to stand on a stool
to do this, for the pedestal was
about a foot in height. As the

had never entered before.
1t was small, containing a table
and two chairs. On the table were
several agricultural manuals, some
old almanacs and some small farm
ing impIements-in need OF repairs.
1t was evident that this place was a
sort of catch-all for some OF Amos
own especial possessions.
At one end of the table lay pts-
toll. Amos picked 1t up as II to put
IL out OF sight, but realizing that
his companion had seen II, explain
ed its presence.

he said sullenly. Then, as IL aware
that he was admitting his own cow

Ones fists are usually strong
enough to protect one" John re-
turned terseiy. Firearms are not
always safe things to have around"
He was thinking of how this man
had shot the Poles dog. There was
a suggestion OF disapproVal in his
manner, and the farmer spoke
quickly to defend his stand.

Wants to Bring Him to the
Point.
DEAR MISS FkIRFAX:

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
-- am very fond of q young
man who seems to care for me,
but he Is afraid to tell me, and
can't bring him to confess his
love-he just will not He never
comes to my house without bring
ing a friend with him Could you
tell me any way i could win this
young man? N. c.
This young man Of yours seems
abnormally cautious since he will
not come to see you unless re-en-
forced by a friend. There is really
nothing to do but have patience
and wait until you have tanned him
a little more.

Great Difference in Ag


DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
would like to ask you II you
think 1t right for q girl in her
teens to entertain the idea or
marrying a man OF nfty, even
though he 10 well preserved and
can pass for thirty-five- Also
do you think a man OF that age
should marry a girl so young. Do
you think thirty years difference
between husband and wife Is too
much? INTERESTED.
Unless there Is some exceptional
attraction between these two peo-
pie, or some great community of in
terests, II would seem such an I'M
usual difference in ages might be
something OF a risk. II depends so
much on the individuals themselves
rather than on circumstances
whether marriages OF this kind are
a success. History records several
that have been exceptionally happy.
