She shrank at the approach of a dozen red-and-black witches, and the whlto-elad ghosts gave her a decidedly shivery sensation. There was a monstrous black cat, a couple of gigantic owls I several spindle-legged brownies. "I wish you had masked, ' Aunt Ixiul.se, It's lots of fun!" She smiled at the silver-spangled fairy. "No, dear, the chaperon shouldn't nmHk. Are they all from the nign school, Margery?" "Yes, except Charlie Day's guest, his cousin. I've never met him. Aren't the bats and hobgoblins funny?" They were not funny to MIhs Lyn donto her they were horrible. She almost regretted consenting to act as hoHtess and chaperon to this criwd of boys and girls. 'If anything should happen!" she murmured nervously. The guests were planning games with youthful enthusiasm. You must play, too, Miss Lyn don," they cried. "No, no," she protested, "I would rather watch you." A big owl came quickly to her side. It's all right, Mg Lyndon.

"Whose boats are those?" asked the Wack Cat, pointing to two, that side by side bobbed merrily up und down over the mimic waves. "Miss Lyndon's," cried several olees, and tho Illg Owl nodded ap proval as tbe smaller owi sum uu in ly, "Miss Lyndon's and Cousin John's. You'll bo lifelong friends; that's the prophecy, Miss Lyndon." Miss Lyndon laughed, almost hap pily. That's good," the Big Owl return ed heartily.

"You mustn't speak," he cautioned; we march three times around the house, and then to the barn to tell ghost stories." They peeped In at the barn win dow; the markers were nuuuieu to- cnthnr in n "scary groan In tlie ghastly, greenish light of the burning sponges.

I have never been happy since." Do you care to tell me about It? he asked gently. She hardly heard the question- she seemed urged to speak by some hidden power. "It was at that next house, further the hill. My best friend nvcu there. She had an older oromer, ana heIwell, we were very good friends, you know. We played games Just as you boys and girls have done to-night Bessie and I went down 10 tho brook to see, in the water, me faces of the men we were to marry. While Bessie was kneeling, leaning over the edge, I gave her a quick push, Bcreamed as loudly us I could, and ran." She paused, shuddering. The Big Owl touched her shoulder softly. "Don't try to tell any more. You must hove been very young then, and" "I was only sixteen, but wait you can't know how unforglveablo it was!

Others sewn to bo useless, and only tolm-ated by their hosts, who cannot get rid of them. Of the latter class appear to be the nnt-lovlng crickets (Myrmo cophlla) found In nuts' nests all over tho globe. An account of tho life history of theso nnt-crlckets Is given by V. Schlmmer In n German zoological pub lication. They get their food by llck Jng the ants, robbing those returning ; to tho nests with food, or tho newly fed larvae. Sometimes they are ac tually fed by the ants. There Is prob- ! ably some deception In this, for they have learned to imitate tho ants' meth od of demanding food. The ant does I It by raising tho antennae, and tho cricket Imitates this by raising its forelegs. Probably tho ant whoso duty it is to feed tho others when they raise their ontennao is deceived by 1 the raised forelegs of tho cricket. ! Theso crickets lay their eggs and tho young are reared In the ants' nests. Disuse of the Sword. Muhon in his "History of Kngland" remarks that tho uso of the sword as part of a gentleman's attlro now out : of fashion, was a constant temptation I to draw tho sword on a sudden quar I rel. Ho cites the duel between Lord Byron and Mr. Chandler In 1ijo, re Bulling in the death of tho latter, as an example. The same is doubtless true of groups of men or nations, where the army and navy nre ready at hand, they may bo used on a sud den Impulse, nnd must be used now and then to prove their right to ex ist Tho nrgument for simultaneous and proportional disarmament is not, therefore, tho plea' of extreme peace men. but a reasonable and common senso view of tho Issue. Let each na tion keep order In its own territory, nnd let the nations make a trust to keep International areas In good working order. Thus an International army and navy may supersede tho present competitive armies and navies to tho great advantage of all. The Teople. No Jack-Pot for Her.

"A beautiful young bride, the story ran, entDred a corner grocery ono morning nnd said: "'Have you got any Jackpots, Mj Sands?" " 'No, ma'am,' Sands answered, and he had a smile behind his hand. 'I've got teapots and coffee pots, but Jack pots, I don't stock. "'Oh, dear!' said the bride. A frown wrinkled her smooth and beau tiful brow.

The webs nre lirst spray ed with an atomizer with artists' shel lac, and then, should they be of the ordinary geometric form, they aro pressed carefully against a glass plate, the supporting strands being nt the same time severed. After the shellac has dried, tho plates carrying the webs can be stored away In a cabinet. Even dome-shaped webs may bo preserved in their original form by spraying them with shellac and men allowing them to dry before removal from their supports. Many spiders' webs are very beautiful, nnd all aro characteristic of tho species to which they belong, so that, from a scientific standpoint, their permanent preserva tion Is very desirable. Treasury Profits. The government profits slightly by tho destruction of stamps which havo been paid for, nnd tho Treasury gcta the benefit of bills which nre lost and' never found. A larger source of Irregular profit lies In tho failure of bondholders tiJ present their bonds for redemption. Unclaimed money In the Treasury duo to bondholders amounted to nearly a million dollars In 1S01. and the sum is much greater now. Of n loan which fell duo In WOO a sum in excess of $32,0(10 remains unclaimed. Over a hundred thousand dollars nre still un paid of the flve-per-cent. bonds which were due in 1!KM.

For fourteen years sho waited. Then he came nack a Hen man and married her. It happened In Missouri, but It was revealed ro cenlly at tho, entertainment of the Alumni Association of tho Harlem Evening High School for Men at Ter race Garden, New York City. Albert L. Walkup was born on a farm In Atchison Co., Mo., 31 years ngo. The Walkups were poor. Their ground was wedged In among great ranches. But the parents managed to give the children a fair education. Albert, nt fourteen, was a hardy boy, who rode a horse like a man und carried a gun across his saddlo. .One Sunday ho rode to the Presby terian Church at Pleasant View, fif teen miles. Sitting in tho church he saw nt nngel lloat up the ulsle. At least he thought nt first It was an angel, but closer scrutiny made him see a girl with big, blue gray eyes, light brown hair and an nlr of dignity that stag gered tho farm lad. After the service he found sho was Emma Nauniun, daughter of a rich ranchman. With the courage of a boy aeons tomed to making his way when no one elso would make It for him he i Bet about getting acquainted. By fall lie had mailo good progress nnd had visited tho Nauman ranch with other boys. The contrast between delicate girl and rough youth was great, hut they became excellent friends nnd when Christmas came he was Invited to drive the Nauman girls to the coun try Christmas tree. He made tho trip from his home on horseback In a blinding storm, took tho party to the entertainment and placed a dollar-nnd-n-hulf ring on the tree for Emma. She laughed when sho got It, but slip ped It on her linger and wore It. (She has It now.) Then tho boy made the long trip homo with a singing heart. But his father learned where he had been and horsewhipped him. Cntil the following fall there were no more trips to Pleasant View, but the longing to see the girl got the bet ter of him. He saddled his horse In tho pasture, tore down three fences to get to the highway and rode to the ranch. "I thought I was n man," he said last night, "and I'd made up my mind to run away and make my rortuno. I asked Emma to come out to the porch nnd I told her what I felt. 'I'm going to make n man of myself that you can lie proud of,' I( said. 'Will you wait for me?' "I'll wait,' she whispered. 'And, mind, you're' to make a man of your self. That's In the trade.' Then she ran in. "The next day I rolled my only two shirts in a red handkerchief, kissed mother goodby and heard her pray for me. That day I put twenty miles between me and home. The day after I went to work as a track builder. I said I was twenty years old nnd I made good. When harvest time enme I went up to Dakota and busked corn. Then I earned and saved $30 cow punching and went to Iowa. "After several mouths I heard from one of my brothers, who had como to New York and was a car conductor, and I came here. I got a Job as porter in n store. But I didn't like Indoor work, and with what I had saved I bought a call and two horses. Autos were coming in nnd after a while I sold out and put $200 into a store with another brother. I went to night school nnd was graduated. "My first brother had studied law and was working for tho United States Guarantee Company. I studied law and went with him. From thnt time we rolled up business on nothing but nervatill we were making ten thousand a year apiece. Some time after I went back to the farm on a visit. I called Emma up on tho 'phone from father's place. She knew my voice at once. " 'Have you?' she asked. " 'No. I haven't,' I answered 'but I'm going to. Can you wait a little yet?' "She said she would, but asked mo to write, and from thnt time till two months ngo wo corresponded. Then I felt I'd at lust made good nnd might go home and show myself. Of course I didn't expect to see a llttlo girl in a white dress, but I hadn't looked for the beautiful woman who drove into town. Sho looked nie right In the eyes nnd she said, 'Yes, you have made good.' We wore mar ried in the old church. It Isn't much of a story, but It's a whole lot to us." Mr. and Mrs. Walkup led the grand march nt the Alumni Association en tertainment that night New York World. IN BUYING An Automobile You want the best your money will get.

Flying-fish must have been watched ever since the first mariners ventured upon the sen, and yet tho question of the manner in which they perforin their flights Is apparently unsettled. Dr. Abel, nn eminent Austrian au thority, maintains that the Initial Im petus by means of which they launch themselves Is due to screw-like move ments of the tall fin, and that the wings are in no senso propelling or gans, but act simply ns parachutes. It Is maintained by other observers that the flight of llying-llshes Is due to Incessant and extremely rapid movements of their wing-like fins. It has been suggested that there may be differences In tho manner of flight of different species of fish, and that con sequently there may be truth in both views.

Nothing but Iron is fitted to resist the wear of tho electric and other motor vans, nnd iron Incorporated with cement Is now used on the high ways of France. "Ferro-cement" is a mixture of mortar (made of cement and sand) nnd Iron shavings, known In the French market ns "iron straw" (patlle do fer). The iron so used is in lino, regular, yarn-like threads which, Immediately nfter they are mixed in the liquid mass, contract a molecular alliance with the cement. When mixed the mass Is absolutely homogeneous. The iron filings nre made by a special machine, because ordinary filings wnsto being Irregu lar in form, could not be used. The Btraws, or filings, must be regular and free from grease and dust This iron-cement ("ferro-cement") promises to be the preferred rond of the ago of the motor-wagon.
