Y ACCOMPANIED Professor Ounce upon
one Of his recent trips in the interest of
III. psychical research. The town of Chickeroo
had been terrorized by particularly ma
liclous ghost for more than year. The pro.
lessor, who knows more about ghosts than any
other living mortal had kindly offered to go ur
there and drive it away. l went along to carry
his books and instruments.
The villagers came to the train to meet US
with half dozen Fords and number Of har-
rowing stories. The ghost had been making
great deal Of trouble. He had broken into eel
lars-or, rather. percolated through their walls
and made off with certain spirits to which
he could claim no kin.
He had waylaid respectable citizens on the
way home from lodge, snatched cigars from
their mouths and stroled off through the dark,
the glowing end Of the still lighted cigars being
the only means by which he could be traced had
his victims cared to trace him. which thew never
did.
Three or four times he had broken up the
male quartet that met every Thursday in the
]. 0. 0. r. hall by standing outside and
nlingling his voice with that of the singers.
He always sang a quarter tone off the key,
which, as all members of male quartets know,
is actually distressing.
The professor and l took up our quarters
in the house where he was most frequently
seen. He arranged his instruments, which con-
sisted of birthstone detectors, dctaphones and
devices for measuring mist density, where they
would be needed. At II o'clock that night T
went to bed, the professor sitting up in the
down stairs sitting room to await develop

methods the ghost had been employing to an

Although it was dark outside, the interior
Of the room was family luminous, and l could

arose n,urmurs from those representing the
Mamelukes and Fighters of Fires, who also
demanded additional recompense, but Hy-an
stillcd them, saying:
"In my mind this is wholly right and just.
Only few days gone men offered me fifty
thousand diners for my services. Behold, if
the people demand that I raise my pay 40 per
cent, who darcs gainsay their will?"
Yet one of the rebelious shouted: "Who was
it, then who said thou vast worth fifty thou
sand dnars?"
Then grew the visage of the Caliph effugent
and he REPLIED "That is a matter of no i'm
portance'
And he dipped quill into the ink and signed
the bill adding to his salary the ten thousand
in question, while men marveed at the glory
of his countenancc.
Then said he: "Now that this is settled let
continue the economy that has marked our
reign thus far
And the Mamclukes and Fighters of Fires
clamored, saying:
How about the increase of our wage?"
But the Caliph shook his head, replying:
"The moneys of the people, whom l am for
and against the interests, must be spent only
in the most praiseworthy and proper fashion,

"But what can they do to you?" inquired
"You say you have to leave one place after

He leaned forward, impressively shaking

pected he was more dangerous than most Of

A faint hum could be heard down stairs.
With larger beads Of moisture on his forehead
than the tiny ones that composed his frame, he
rose from the chair and, like puff Of smoke,
vanished through the window.

He stretched forth long arm and deity
removed fresh cigar from my vest, which
hung on the foot Of the bed. There was faint
smell of birthstone for an instant as he placed
it in his mouth. A glow appeared about the
end of it, and it lighted.

Then spake the leader of the caravan: "Pro-
tcctor OF the poor, may thy servants possess
the privilege of word or two with thee alone?'
And when Hy-lan had granted their request
and banlshed all others from the ROOM the
leader spake again, saying: ooh Caliph. we

wee that clingeth to the kaftan of him who

not right that one with thy gifts should dwell
IN one place all thy days. Accept our guerdon
and come with US and let us display thee in
thy majesty, probity and grace to all the world
so that humanity may be glad"
Then pondered the Caiph these words and
made up his mind swiftly, so that ere the clock
had struck thrice he replied:
Truly, am touched by these thy words, and
the plight of the people who know me not
wringeth me to the heart. Yet 7 cannot 90.

"Its a lonesome life," he continued "I can't

in Cherry Valley III. Too bad he didn't save
his money while he was getting it." But If the
player is an oldtimer he can hand himself
some cold comfort when he looks over the re-
ports of the skyrocketing salaries of modern
ball players. He can say truthfully that he
didn't have SO much to save with the aver
age player has to-day.
1t is true that baseball attendance has in
creased enormously and prices of admission
have gone up. In the days of the $2,400 sal
ary limit the beacherite who paid 25 cents
and went early rewarded by getting nice
seat on a splintery and resinous board, not
over ten yards from the first or third baseman.
But 25 cents brings nothing like that to-day.
In fact, one can shorten that statement and
just say that 25 cents brings nothing. Seventy
five cents gets one uncovered seat far

Then conferred the caravan together in haste
and at last spake, saying:

And several minutes passed before sufficient
breath returned to the Caliph to permit him
to call the Mamelukes.

cize Measure

washington, November Pa
Brought up in the House, the admin
istration shipping bill was COM
mended and condemned during five
hours of debate today in which
leaders on both sides Of the battle
took part.
All told. five speeches-three for
and two against the measure
were made. Two days of debate re-
main before the bill will be laid be-
fore the House for amendment, and
to satisfy all eager to speak, the
meeting time tomorrow was ad-
yanced an hour.
Chairman Greene, of the merchant
marine committee, which framed 1t,
and Representative Edmonds, Penn
sylvania, ranking republican mem
Der. made the principal arguments
for the bill. Representative John NJ.
Nelson, republican. Wisconsin, was
selected by Democrats in charge CT
the opposition to go to the bat first
to urge its defeat. Representative
Bankhead Alabama, democratic mem
Der of the merchant marine COM
mittee, attacked the bill at length.
and Representative Watson, republic
can, Pennsylvania, defended 1t briefly.
Give Employment
The good which he believed would
oCme to the country through opera
ton of an adequate merchant marine
was emphasized by Chairman Greene.
He contended 1t would give employ
ment to thousands, retain In the
United States 100000 annually in
freight payments. prevent the ne
oessity OF the country of facing
another war time tonnage crisis and
the rank injustice done the American
marine over long period Of years.
Greene told how the government
had aided farmers and railroads,
how it had built highways and then
deplored It's failure to put the flag
at its proper standard on the seas.
In giving detailed explanation
Of the bill, inviting questions and
meeting all attacks, Mr.. Edmonds ex-
pressed belief that most shipping
people wanted 1t passed, although
he declared they had not attempted
to direct the committee. Mr.. Edmonds
said he was convinced that the
compensation provided was suffi-
GENTLY large to make up for the loss
of operation under the American
flag and guarantee an adequate fleet.
Asked IL the compensation would be
perpetual Mr.. Edmonds declared
that in the history of all nations
granting 1t. there had developed

became almost negligible.

statement;
