l~1 HE ghost lady only came when
shame or disgrace threatened
- the family. Panic seized her;
she took a step forward.
"David!' She thought she cried
his name aloud, but in reality it was
only a whisper on her burning lips.
And then in a flash all her control
deserted her; she felt like a fright
ened child, waking into darkness and
silence from bad dream.
She startee to run across the room
towards the archway through which
that patch of moonlight sh0ne: her
breath came pantingly; she felt as if
she were choking.
And then-then something stayed
her steps, and for a moment seemed
to still her heart
Across the long music gallery
across that patch of bright moon
light-she thought she saw the slen-
der outline Of q woman's figure; a
woman in a loose gray robe of some
thin, soft material; a woman who
walked with her white hands before
her face as if to hide it in shame or
sorrow.
1t was but for a second that Mary
saw it, and then it had gone-melted
away into the oaken walls.
And then the icy hand and chain
of fear that had held her a prisoner
seemed to release its hold, and she
ran-ran screaming sobbingly across
the room
David had left her-she was shut
in here alone. forever. She would
havt to die in this empty, silent
room, with only the gray ghosts for
company.

WILMETH RULING
ON BONDSMEN
FAILS. IN OBJECT
New Set of Professional
Surety SignerS Springs
Up About City Court,

I'VE should worry" is the chant
of professional bondsmen prohibited
from signing surety bonds in city
court until July 10. by order Of City
Judge DeIbert o. Wilmeth.
At least that is the chant of many
of the old lot of. bondsmen who can
be seen most any day lettering
around police station with rolls of
bills thick enough to choke a
horse" bullying from their pockets.
Here's how one of them expressed
himself:
Il should worry about the bond
ruling. 1t is benefiting me. Now
1 can refuse with a straight face to
scribble my name on surety bonds
I formerly had to sign for friends
for charity.
Now l can get good ready cash
for every dollar of this roll tat this
point the alleged professional bonds
man pulled a wad of green and
yellow United States currency from
his pocket that l deposit as bond
for a prisoner and there's more

New Set of Names

kept in the turkeys office shows
a new set of names appears on
surety bonds. And the same names
appear day after day.

you rec-ree a CLASSY stare and this
answer.
Not while I'm awake. 1 don't
take a chance for nothing. I get
the regular fee and I'm doing good. -
In other words, turkeys and po-
lice say. Judge Wihneth's order has
not done away with professional
surety bondsmen but has only
created a new set.
Only Need Lieutenant
In addition, most of the old gang
of surety bondsmen. those who were
able to raise the cash, are now doing
business with their large rolls of
currency. All they need is a Heuten-
ant who can be trusted to carry the
cash bond to the turkeys office.
For example, a man known to be
the lieutenant of the bondsman men,
toned above provided a cash bond

Meeting of City
Teachers, High School

The teachers of the city schools
met Wednesday afternoon at hign
school and were addressed by Prof.
Burr of Beloit, Wis, on the subject
of "the teaching game" A game ne
defined as something that is done
with a definite goal in view, ana py
that definition teaching was game
He compared it to game OF DOM
inoes, in which the teacher lays
down something to be matched by
something the pupil lays down. he
cautioned the teachers to be careIui
what they laid down by way of ques-
items and to choose that which would
bring the response most helpful TO
the mental growth of the pupil. He
declared that there were four ways of
asking questions in the. classroom.
the "game of associated words,
asking who or what did this or
that? and appealing only to the
memory: 'the "game OF associated
thoughts" which went step further
and appealed to thought; the game
of associated pictures" asking a pu-'
pil "What did you see?" which slim
ulated the imagination; and the
.eame of universals," which COM
PEELED the pupil to seek the why
and use reason. Prof. Burr said that
some teachers were what teachers
and others were "why teachers" He
recommended the use of associated
pictures and of universals in the
class room. He also urged occasional
supervised study as means OF heip-
ing the pupil to form right habits.
He was listened to with attention
and pleasure, and was on motion OF
Supt. w. F. Packard, given a rising
vote Of thanks.

Classical Students
Reunion-Reception

Last evening the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. G.. A. Stafford, 3 Chestnut street.
was the scene of an interesting and
delightful social affair. rather uni
que in the city's history. An inform
al reception was given in honor or
Prof. Almon w. Burr, who was prin-
cipal of Hallowell Classical Academy
from 1876 until 1883. and who in
that period of splendid service made
a distinct impression on the city's
life. His former pupils gathered at
this time to meet and greet their old
friend and teacher. Those who are
no longer residents of Hallowell had
been notified by letter of this reunion
and reception and in so far as was
possible they responded with interest
and pleasure to the call. In all
about 30 former students of the
classical were present as we'll as q
number of invited guests. In the
receiving line were Mr.. Burr and a
number of his former pupils. From
out of town were Prof. Arthur
Thomaston Of Pennington. Mrs. An
gle Tucker Of Litchfield. John Gould,
Mr.. and Mrs. Levi Williams, Mrs.
Horace Bowdich and daughter,
Olive and Harry Lowell of Augusta.
The evening was very pleasant
one, renewing old ties and making
new friendships. The air was full
of do you remember" Does 1t
seem possible that it was forty years
ago?" 1t was interesting to note that
Prof. Burr was never at loss; never
failed to recall face and name. in
spite of the years that had passed.
His interest in his pupils is still a
real and vital thing. He was one
of the most successful principals
Hallowell has had. He is a grad
uate of Oberlin College. and studied
theology in Union Theological Semi
nary, New York, and at Andover. He
went to Andover from Hallowell in
1883 for a year of rest and study,
then he became connected with Be-
lott college. He was at first principal
of the preparatory department, and
later professor of pedagogy there. In
Beloit. as in HalloweIl. he did a
splendid work. His pupils in the
latter institution are scattered from
coast to coast, but he still keeps his
interest In them. About four years
ago he retired from active duty at
the college.
or recent years Prof. Burr has
done much travelling and speaking
of trip made not long ago to the
Pacific coast, he says: II had ex-
pected to go around quietly from city
to city. but no. the boys (hfs former
pupils) would not have It so. There
must be gatherings and banquets. I
must meet their wives and children.
T spoke to their high schools and
teachers in many cities in California,
Oregon, and Washington, and went
into their classrooms. Sometimes
there. were three talks in one day.
During the last school year. I ad-
dressed over six thousand high
school students, three thousand
teacherG and six colleges.
Mr.. Burr had in addition to his
speaking been doing a considerable
amount of literary work, including
articles in papers and magazines.

three children are Harold Burr of
