BILLIARDS And Their Prevc:ti;

i'N i>uNltli II. -NI'iS The object of billiards is to hit the three balls together with long wooden poles that they are called cues. To give you an even break in doing this, the management of the billiard-hall furnishes you with chalk.
 The first question you will ask if you have read this ia" is, "What is q 'carom ?" Well, friends, . carom is a word that you make sentences out of when you writc\ letters to Columnists, like "Carom mo back to old Verglnny" and T don't carom rot married to him.
 When you start n 10 play bill lizards, if you have any appetite to do so after reading this, you will probably be told to call your shots. The best I can think of for doing this is to walk aroun1 the billiard hall with a lantern and say loudly, Calling NIr. Shot.." or Pa ging Shotz." If there is anybody there named Shotz yol ,urc likely to be 1 in the bag, as there are some tough l babies hang out in those there halls.
 A "combination" shot is one that you make wearing your dainty un- 1 dorthiuCs, like a step-in1br scantics | Personally I have never seen any | body playing billiards in their scan- | ties, but it takes all sort of people i to make a world, and if you knew what l was thinking about you could have me arrested, so let us traw | the veil.
 Well, dearias, I could go on like | this for hours, but l think I hear the process-servcr hammering on the door to hanl me a libel sum- mons. so I will sce rou next Tues day afternoon at the abattoirs.

The plot concerns some weird
noises beneath a supposedly haunt

Brown, a romantic young clerk,
heard a rough-looking fellow say to

troublesome-don't be particular

the girl to the haunted house, and
then mysteriously disappears from
his friends, Rupert, Charlie and a
laborer, named Ted. Rupert de-
cides to go to the house at night to
find Brown.
Now Go On With the Story
CHAPTER XVI
He turned towards the house
which, though still expressing its
atmosphere Of deSertion, was a very
different proposition in the morn
ing sunlight. Grass grew from the
gravel, and weeds made chaos of
the borders. The lawn itself was
lank and uncut. But there was no
ostensible reason why an optimis-
tic house hunter with a comfort
able bank balance should not be
attracted by the place, or why an
agent should not describe it as a
desirable property" Curious,
thought Rupert, that no agents

boundary hedge to catch the eye of
a prospective tenant. AS this
thought came TO him, his eye
CHANGED upon a broken length Of
black wood, spiking up from the
ground. Yes, probably there had
been a board there once, and a
north-easter had blown it down.
He walked towards the house,
but stopped almost at once. A
voice from the gate hailed him.
"Ere!" called the voice, softly.
He turned. The laborer, pale
and worn, was reckoning him.
HALO" replied Rupert.
Ere" said the laborer. Not so
1oud!"
Rupert hesitated, then returned
to the gate.
What's the matter?" he asked.
Anything wrong?"
Wrong? 'CorSe not" answered
Ted, with a tinge Of sarcasm,
which he emphasized by splitting.
"Everything's lovely!"
Rupert regarded him, and
frowned.
Lock here" he exclaimed,
something is wrong"
ERE, not so loud,' nuttered
Ted. Come outside, and III tell
yer"
Rupert complied, and the laborer
beckoned him to walk a little way
along the lane.

manded Rupert.

the lahorer, hoarsely. Come away

not moved. a look Of vague irrita-

up the lane a bit. and then III tell
yer about Brown"
1t was obvious that the laoorer
would not unbosom himself unless
he we're humored. 1t was equally
obvious that the laborer must be
made to unbosom himself. Rupert
followed him along the lane till
they were some twenty yards from
the house. Then the laborer stop
ped, and his eyes grew a little less
tense.

Rupert swung it open, and ran
