him as one of the leaders in art in

in spite of the excitement of the
evening, and Agnes could be heard
muttering in her sleep. Moreno
was still awake. She heard Agnes
say:
ut was great fun, anyway"
What did she mean? But soon
Moreno herself was asleep. Then
she awoke again. 1t seemed as il
she had been asleep but five min
utes, but really she had bene sleep
ing for two hours. She awoke
with the feeling that someone was
in the room. She turned over in
bed and-and-there was a tall,
white thing-a Notwithstanding by
the side of her bed. Before she
could utter a word the ghost said,
in low, moaning tone:
"If you say word I'll put an end
to you," and it held up a long
knife.
you have been in my house." it
went on, "the house from which my
granddaughter disappeared, where
| and my sons wife died and left
our spirits behind. And you-you
have dared to go in there. Admit
it! Admit it, Haven't you? Ans
wer!" and his tones grew gruffer.
Eyes, yes!" cried Moreno, but
I'll never, never go there again."
"Ah." said the ghost, after you
have dared go there, then you say
you'll not go again. Ny spirit has
got used to following you around in
that house. 1t would make my
spirit die if it would be deprived of
it's fun with you, and you must not
let it die. Hear! Hear! If you
don't visit my house again and let
my spirit play, l will visit you
again and then, beware. Also, I'm
going to give you the task of find
ing my little Frances, for she is
NOT in heaven with her mother"
Then the ghost disappeared into
her closet! Why did this ghost
come to her? She was no more to
blame than Agnes or Hal. With
these unanswered questions she fell
asleep and the rest of the night
dreamed of her head being chopped
off by the ghost because she had
failed to do as he had told her. /
Next morning she told her story
to the Wonders but couldn't tell
it to the Silent Workers because
that would give up that they were
in Mystery House. /

janet GIVES AUNT
new DISPOSITION

Once upon time, in little, dark
, and lonely room, sat a little girl
named Janet Daring singing to her
! tired, sick mother with the doctor
standing by, when all at once she
heard tired sigh, and, looking up
at her mother, saw she was dead.
Then the little girl was very sad,
for she had lost her best friend
and she knew not what she would
do, for she had no brothers nor sis
ters, and her father had died when
she was baby and now all that
was left for her to do was to go to
live with cross, old maid aunt,
which she did, under protest of the
aunt.
She made Janet sleep in the at
tic and her bed was very uncom-
Portable; but Janets life was
frightened by the many friends she
had. She was always trying to
make someone happy and in so do
ing, was happy herself in spite OF
her cross aunt.
Now, one OF her best friends was
a little boy, named Bobbie Brown,
whom she met one day while play
ing in the park. His parents were
very rich and loved Janet very
much, for she was a loveable little
girl with golden curls. Janet
would go over to play with Bobbie
tbdut every day, until one day
Janet became i'll with fever and re-
manned in a dangerous condition
for several weeks, and begged for
her dear, kind mother
1t was now that hire cross aunt
began to realize how mean she had
been to Janet and leaned down and
kissed her and thought of the
nights she had seen Janet sitting
in her room in the attic crying and
kneeling at her bed saying her
prayers. Then she resolved she
would be kind to Janet from that
on and so Janet began to get better
now, and Bobbie would bring her
flowers and good things to eat that
his mother sent. Janet got well
and grew to be a beautiful girl, and
Bobbie grew to be a grand man,
and they loved' each other, and
were married.
Her once cross old aunt became
her dear old aunt and she hated to
part with Janet, who lived so happy
with Bobbie and every one she
loved.-Helen Miller, ga grade,

WHEN WOMEN VOTE

When women vote next November
They will do things that you will remember
They will turn this world upside-down,
And make it square instead of round
There is a shortage in everything we eat;
The pies, bread and all the meats
When women vote and make the laws
Every shortage thing will fall.
l love sugar because it is sweet,
But it is too high for me to eat.
There is plenty in this world for all
Why don't high prices fall?
After the women cast their votes,
The men in office will surely croak
The world will be prohibition,
And everything in better condition.

it all in one night, and then it

A Boston firm offered prize for
the best original motto for pen.
A reader promptly sent them "The
pen is mightier than the sword,"
with a request that they would for
ward the prize by mail. The head
of the house wrote a humorous re-
ply, asking the claimant if he could
prove himself the author of the
saying. The man, evidently an hon

HOUSE:
CHAPTER vi.
One Dark MINT

Where is Agnes?" asked
Moreno.
"She went into the house with
AL. and Billy a short time ago." re-
piled Betty. Just then, Agnes
shouted from somewhere.
Wen be back after awhile.
We're going to have a secret meet
ing, so stay away"
"A secret meeting!" exclaimed
Hal. Come on, here's our chance
to find out what they've been do
ing. Where did she shout from?"
Sounded like she was in the
Kitchen" said Moreno. They all
started for the kitchen and when
they reached it, they found the
screen door wide open.
They went out this way said
Betty. Maybe they're in the gar
age" Then they searched the
garage but no traces of the Silent
Workers did they find.
They certainly are Silent Work
ers," laughed Moreno, as they
walked back to the veranda.
Agnes almost caught me getting
nto Mystery House the other
day." said Betty.
81 wish l lived in Mystery
House." said Moreno. Il just love
antiques"
Yes" said Betty, "But I'd hate
20 be there when that ghost ap-
3ears."
Il wish there were some secret
doors in it, said Hal. Most all of
he stories you read about that
rave some kind of haunted house
n them you will most always find
secret door,"
But, really" said Moreno, II
lon't believe anything about ghosts
haunting it because there aren't
UGH things" Just then Betty
@hrieked,
''Noren! Hail.! AL" Her face was
5 white as new-fallen snow, and
he looked family
Moreno and Hal helped her up
the porch and put her in a
hair.
Now, tell us what's the matter"
aid Norent.
Listen" she said, and doing so,
hey heard a long moaning which
anne from the direction of Mystery
louise
There was a ghost" she gasped.
I saw tit was holding out its
rms and moaning. 1t is gone now.
'Io-look! There it is again"
They looked up at Mystery
louise and through the garnet
uindow they could plainly see the
orm of a ghost holding out it's
rms and moaning. Then it slowly
oded away. Just then, Agnes APP
cared.
Agnes" cried Moreno did you
&c it,"
See what?" asked Agnes calmly.

Now, quit your kidding" laughed
ignes.

We actually saw it. Betty saw it

ouldn't make her believe it.
Where's Billy and A,?" he|
.sked, later on.
"Oh, we got through with our
Meeting and they went off by
