ALL BOW TO SUPERSTITION
At Least, Few of the Fair Sex Have
Not a Firm Belief in Marriage
Charms. .s,e.4.


In the great Cave Of the Winds, In
Colorado, place visited each year
by scores Of tourists, in one corner
the visitor is always impressed by .
curious thing that looks like mat
tress and that turns out, on closer
acquaintance, to be an immense pile
of hairpins. combs, barettes and hair
ornaments.
It seems that there Is superstition
afoot that every widow and unmarried
woman who leaves a hairpin or hatr
ornament there will be married within
the year and, though most of the
women who visit the cave laugh at the
story and look very incredulous, not
few surreptitiously shake out an in
visible or two before leaving, Just
for luck"
Nor is this the only mute testimony
to the ever-feminine credulity and be-
lief in marriage charms. At Ramona's
Wedding Place, also out West, Is a
well, the bottom. Of which CLEANS
bright with countless pennies and 9th
err coins, left there by passing visitors
who were told that tossing a coin
down the we'll would bring them each
husband within year. So the pen
MES accumulated, and already there
Is suall fortune lying at the bottom
of Ramona's well.
Nor is this superstition Of travel
ers the only evidence in the case. One
has only to see the young girls (and
some Of the old). waiting to catch
the brides bouquet at wedding IN
order to be the next bride, to know
that they are all ready to test out any
band-getting charm. And one may
look in vain for the single girl brave
enough to take the ''last piece" OF
cake or candy on the plate and thus
run the risk Of becoming an "old
maid. Record.

THE HAUNTED POOL.

Syopsis. - DR.. John Nicholson,
Just beginning his career, becomes
resident physician and companion
of Homer Sidney at Hartley house.
Mr.. Sidney is an American, a semi
invalid, old and rich and very de-
sirous to live. Mrs. Sidney is a
Spanish woman, dignified and retl-
cent. Jed, the butler, acts like
privileged member of the family.
Hartley house is a fine old isolated
country place, with murder story
a "haunted pool" and many watch
dogs, and an atmosphere of mys-
terry. The haunted pool is where
Richard Dobson, son of former
owner of Hartley house, had killed
his brother, Arthur Dobson. Jed
begins operations by locking the
doctor in his room the very first
night. Doctor John fixes his door
so he can't be locked in. He meets
Isobel, daughter of the house, and
falls in love at first sight. In the
night he finds the butler drunk and
holding Mrs. Sidney by the wrist
He interferes. Mrs. Sidney makes
light of it. John buys revolver.
John oyerhears Jed telling Mrs.
Sidney he will have his way. In
reply she says she will not hesitate
to kill him. Mrs. Sidney asks John
to consent to the announcement of
his engagement to Isobel. The
young people consent to the make
believe engagement. Later they
find 1t is to head off Jed. who
would marry Isobel. Jed tries to
kill John, but the matter is
smoothed over. John, though "en-
gagged to Isobel, conceals his love.
Mr.. Sidney visits nearby prison
and has Dobson, the murderer.
pointed out Queer stories of the
haunted pool are told.

! preached their majority, Henry was al
| most an imbecile for fear of Dick.
"Dick wanted then to get his inheri-
lance and go out into the world, but
the estate was left in trust until both
boys were of age. Dick came of age
and was obliged to wait two years for
Henry"
| was astonished by the succinct and
philosophical brevity of this ignorant
mans narrative. Mr.. Sidney was at
ease in his chair with his eyes closed
and placid expression of pleasure on
his face. Jed was active in gesticula-
| ton as he talked That was the eff
feet of the wine. The wind continued
to pull at the chimney and scold in the
/ corners.
"Jed has read a great deal to me"
said Mr.. Sidney without opening his
eyes. 81 think he has become theatric."
"Well," said Jed, Ito shorten story,
when Dick, being twenty-one, found
| that he had to wait two more years for
/ Henry, he became more brutal than
ever In some way or other, the night
of the murder the two brothers hap
pened to meet in a tavern in village
not far from Hartley house. Henry
did not want to go home with his
brother, but they both got drunk and
i they started to walk home together.
mo one has been able to do much
more than guess at what took place,
but IL was known that Richard was a
brute and that Henry was scared OF
him but was not coward. They must
have had a violent quarrel.
"There was a cottage near the pool.
The only person in it at the time was
little girl, whose parents were not at
home. She was awakened by cries
and swearing. She said that she heard
one man say: They'll find you dead In
the morning. Then she heard sounds
of a struggle and was scared and hid
her head under the bedclothes.
''When her parents came home she
told them what she had heard, and
they went out with lantern to the
place from which the noise came. They
found parts Of Henry's clothing. The
next day Richard was found, ten miles
away, still drunk. He confesseV that
he had killed his brother in a drunken
rage.
"Afterward he said that he hadn't
but he admitted that there had been q
quarrel 1t was a most celebrated
trial. Richard was convicted. though
the state could not produce any In
dubitable physical evidence of Henry's
death. The contention over this evi.
| dence made the case noted.
Richard Dobson is In the peniten-
i tiary at Alwick now. Henry's ghost
is what is supposed. to come back to
the pool"
The wind howled outside, and the
fire burned cheerfully. AS romanti
cist felt rebeIlious. The ghost story
lacked antiquity. A good ghost story
would not have any human element in
it a prisoner in nearby penitentiary
1t was too common SAVIOR of the pres
ent.
"But Stevenson would have liked the
story" said Mr.. Sidney. ''It has sc
