then there are sinister days, when the

when all that is riotous and unlawful

This was such day.

We have no children, and my wife,
for lack of other interests, finds her
housekeeping an engrossing and seri-
Gus matter. She is in the habit of
bringing her domestic difficulties to me
when reach home in the evenings,
a habit which sometimes renders me
unjustly indignant. Most unjustly, for
she has borne with me for thirty years

neighborhood as a perfect house

paniment of considerable gliding BY
the men he told ghost story that set
the women to looking. back over their
shoulders into the dark corners be-
yond the zone of candle-light. All of
US, remember, except Sperry and
Mrs. Dane, were skeptical as to the
supernatural, and Herbert Robinson
believed that while there were So
called sensitives who actually went IN
to trance, the controls which took
possession of them were buried per-
sonalities of their own, released dur
ing trance from the sub-conscious
mind.

for some evidence Of their knowl-
edge. Who are going to be the next
candidates for president? Is Horace

merely being facetious
Physical phenomena! !" scoffed the
cynic. I've seen it al1-objects NOV
ing without visible hands, unexplained
currents of cold air, voice through
trumpet know the whole rotten
mess, and I've got book which tells
how to do all the tricks. I'll bring it
along some night"
AS matter Of fact, Herbert"
Mrs. Dane said, I'VE intend to put
your skepticisn to the test tonight.
Doctor Sperry has found a medium
for us, nonprofessional and a patient
of his, and she has kindly consented
to give us a sitting. She is a total
stranger to all of Us except the doc
tor, and is newcomer in town"
The butler wheeled out Mrs. Danes
chair, and led US to the drawing-room
doors. There Sperry threw them open,
and we saw that the room had been
completely rnetamorphosed.
The room had been dismantled. It
opened, before US, walls and chimney
piece bare, rugs gone from the floor.
even curtains taken from the windows.
To emphasize the change, in the center
stood a common pine table, surrounded
by seven plain chairs, Ali the lights
were out save one, corner bracket,
which was screened with redpaper
shade.
Mrs. Dane watched US with keen
satisfaction. Such time I had doing
IL" she said. "The servants, OF
course, think l have gone mad. All
except Clara | told her. She's a sensi-
bic girl
AS the purely physical phenomena
obtained proved relatively insigniti-
cant, it is not necessary to go into
the detail of the room.
AS | said at the beginning, this is
not ghost story. Parts of it we now
understand, other parts we do not.
For the physical phenomena we have
no adequate explanation. They
occurred. We saw and heard them.
For the other part Of the seance we
have come to a conclusion satisfac-
tory to ourselves, a conclusion not
reached, however, until some of us had
gone through some dangerous expert
ences, and had been brought into
contact with things hitherto outside
the orderly progression of our lives.
But at no time, although incredible
things happened, did any one of Us
glimpse that strange world of the
spirit that seemed so often almost
within our range, of vision.

Company. at which all of the
officers and directors were re
elected, with Writ G.. Bowman
retaining the control of govern
ment as president of company.
Bowman took occasion to issue a
statement to spike" some oi
the misleading statements that
have recently been mace regard
ing internal dissension among
the officers and directors. The
salient points of the Bowman
statement are as follows:
First. I wish to say that the
Aqua Caliente corporation does
not owe one sum to anyone ex
cept it's regular current expen
ses, which are and have been
paid monthly.
THE company paid its regular
dividend on the 18th of this
month, aud. from all appear
ances, will continue to pay these
regular dividends quarterly.
There is absolutely no break
between myself and any official
of the company, and harmony
prevails everywhere in the or
ganization now as in the past.
Il am still president of the
Jockey Club and the only state
ment I have made regarding it is
that my associate, James N.
Crofton, is the general manager
in complete charge of the race
track. I have not washed my
hands of anything in connection
there with. There was nothing
to wash off.
"As to the alleged fixing,
that is absurd. First, l am mol
a 'ixer' and second, we are
operating under the laws ol
Mexico and there is nothing te
be fixed. >"

Even in Argentina the North Ameri-
cans are making Roadway. They have
taken from British capitalists control
of the meat-chilling industry; they sup
ply 80 per cent of the country's agricul-
tural machinery and practically all the
automobiles; their annual exports to
the republic sometimes exceed those
from Great Britain.
The British still control most Of
South Americas foreign-owned railways.
They are the worlds masters in many
lines of textiles, for which South Amer
lea provides one of their greatest mar
kets SO long as the British miner does
not strike, British ships will continue to
carry thousands Of tons Of coal to South
American ports as ballast, the bulky
grain and meat and ore shipments pro-
viding them with return cargoes.
Even now there are four times as
many British as United States banks on
the continent. Most important Of all,
the British have century-old reputa-
ton for carefully made goods OF unsur-
passed enduring qualities, and are
| looked upon as a friendly nation with
no hostile intention toward the southern
! republics.
For all that, Great Britain Is feeling
| the pressure Of competition keenly. The
| Great War not only failed to vanquish

up a new, bigger competitor. The Brit
ish Trade Exposition at Buenos Aires,
the Prince Of Wales Spanish speeches
are but the ceremonial interludes in a
struggle which will be fought out in the
factories at home, in the offices Of Ar
gentine, Chilean and Brazilian I'M
porterS.
Like the independent merchant in a
town invaded by chain stores, the Brit
isher u pitting his assets Of long estab-
lished connections, careful attention to
customers and reputation for quality
against a rival who relies on superior
capital and mass production.
South America has become the COM
mercial cockpit of the world. Great
Britain, the United States and Ger
many are here waging struggle which
for one Of them at least, Is a matter Of
life and death. If Britain can regain
something of her old dominance in thi'
market she will have gone far TO emerge
from the slough she Is in at present.
