::::::::;::: THE TIN BOX. WononQIOQOnOIOI :: : SUonjasjj q BY SARA ANDREW 5. W i:::;;;;;;;; I MAD mot and married Doro'hy while I was holding the post of physician on a Transatlantic liner. Wi had a little home in Hoboken. I continued my trips for a few months, but Dorothy's grief at every departure ad!ed to her constant longing for her ear'y California home, influenced ni to make a change. Accordingly I resign' d my position and brought my wife to her native state, to settle in the southern town where ehe was born. It was a serious matter for a young do tor, with a small capital, to attempt To establish a practice in a country town. Dorothy and 1 had given it Ion? and deep consideration. She was a woman of resources and MMMMbI al Ingenuity, and we worked out 0 :r plans and achieved success in theory. My first practical effort was to secure a suitable house at a reasonable rent. With this object in view I started out on the day of o ir arrival, leaving my wife at tie hotel. She was lying down when I rt'';rnd two hours later. "Did you hnd a house?' she asked eagerly, as I entered. "I have found one that may suit us. If yo i are not too tired I would like to take you to see it. I answered. Dorothy! keen interest in our home making would not allow get to think of fatigue, and -he was soon ready to start The house was situated on one of the older 3treets boot ten minutes' walk from the hotel. It was an old no ise bearing grlfsjMO cf continued years of neglect. As I held the garden gate open for Dorothy I saw a look of disgust settle on her face. "Why. Kdward. what a dirty, dilapidated old place." " No. dear, not dilapidated, only dirty and n"clected."

"Edward, this place will never do for a doctor's residence." "Don't pass a hasty judgment, my dear Walt until you have M n it. and I t '1 von what the owner will do in (pairing and .-banine." I unlocked the front door and we entered a spacious hall with large rooms on both sides. A Wide stain ise I d to the upper rooms. Tlie look of dis-

The talrraM and the little conservatory Dff ti e dliir.g room and tha wide veranda rurthing around the house- all these s. em dimly familiar." Pot some moments she stood silent, her eyes wanderim- rastlssaty. The look of perplexity suddenly changed to one of horror, as. with a little cry. ha dm; p- d her si Irts and grasped mv arm.

As time passed and our disappointment inma-e.j ,-.y reutttnan to the unpleasant tradition of the ljuigton hou.se grew less. I had likel the house from the first, the si. and arrangement of the rooms as well as the location suited me But when I - I to Dorothy about waiving focdlsh notions and taking the houn she r. r id jm-itivi ly with a shudder. tine week from the day that we ha4 looked at the old house Dorothy and I had retired, feeling very weary an 1 discouraged. I particularly, for I felt provoked at Dorothy for the persistent objection to tha only house that was available to us. Weariness dispelled th worry from my mind and I was : n asleep, only to be awakened by Dorothy speaking to me in an atftahai voice. ' What is It?" I . sleepily, with a hay notion of burglars, Dorothy was clinging to me and trembling with excitement. "Oh. Edward. I have had such a strange experience. I saw father." "You saw him?" I imrlslmafl. incredulously, "you mean that you dreamt that you did." "No. Edwari ." she protested. "I was not a.sleep. J was lying in a quiet state, just lHrdering on active consciousness. II wait Is. altogether foreign to my situation, were flitting through my mind. I heard my father's voice calling me. and at t'ie same moment I saw him emerging from between the portieres. In a perfectly natural manner he said: "Take Fred Langton's old house Dorothy. It will prove profi'able to you." I attempted to discuss the Improbah ttty of the whole matter, declaring it 10 be nothing more than a dream. But Dorothy bMsated on regarding It as a visitation from her father, and the influence of this belief upon her was such that, much as she was 09 po.-e l to taking the house before, he v. as now as much ia favor of it. As this was in perfect aeonrd with my ow n wishes, and wh le I was skeptical M to the true nature of her experience, its effe, i upon her was so satisfactory to me that I r.frained from further argument. We discussed the matter during half the nitrht. with the result that in the morning I went to see the owner of the house and signed the ba. for two year-. The owner fulfilled all of hi promises with resard to repairs and we furnished the lower rooms according to our means. Orte ev. nir.g I was s'udyir.g in the sitting room, while Dorothy sat In a low rocker working on s sofa cushion. Her chsir rocked violently snd she sprang to her fret, scattering her working materials far and near. She o4 in the center of the room and looked aghast at the still moving chair "What Is the matter. Dorothy?" 1

"Edward, some one rocked my chair." she gasped. "You rocked it our elf." ' No. Edward. I didn't Don t you SO, it is rocking yet?" ehe said, with

a nervous shudder. "The force wi;h which you jumped out of it would catife it to rock." I said to bar reassuringly. "Edward, it rocked while I was sitting !n it. I was Intent on matching my silks when it seemed as thom-h s'm ore :-ras;.ed r y .hair and pulled It lack wi;h a Jerk." "NOW, t v . Isar," I slid, soothlncly. "as a ! I j - mil NSJSjiaet this s eas'p of nerves and recommend you to - to.bed. A alght't rest will restore you." Dorothy n i erred my suggestion with lool: of Indignation and commenced to rather up her scattered work. Preqasnt occurrences of a like nature followed rhte, our first experience. Dorothy alwa.vs being the recipient of the uncanny attentions. At snrh times she declared that -he could feel the tttch of an unseen hand and citch the vibration of an un! I ITS voice. As Dorothy was a brave, sensible little mar. not given to foolish fancies. I finally gave credence to her statements and r grattOs basing taken the house.

the tin box was soon exposal to view. I surceoOed in raising it. although the ht was a'niot bey nd my strength. With Dorothy's asssstsasety I brought it up into the sitting room. It was an ordinary cash box of large size and bore the uame of Dorothy s father. Lacking a key. I pried It op n. Some old papers covered the contents, which proved to be rolls and rolls of money Dorothy and I spnt considerable time in counting it. and found that H contain d 175361 in gold and I'nited States r.otes.

"I felt a peculiar sensation it v. i not drow--it. -s for n: mind v. a ah rt but I was sensible of a change of conditions, and a slow transfer-' of consciousness. Just within the door appeared a faint cloud or shadow, which gradually assumed the well-defined appearance of a man. He spoke, but in a voice to which no physical ear is responsive. He said that he was Fred Langton w ho bad robbed my father's bank for revenge, after he had ben discharged from his position as cashier. He had lost heavily through speculation, and he Ol shad to retrieve his own fortunes, and at the same time ruin my father, whom he believed to be ns;onslbIe for his discharge from the bank. He feared to draw suspicion upon himself by the free use of much money at a time when It was known that he was almost bankrupt, so he buried It. as you see, trusting to the future for a favorable opportunity to use it. Father was so affected by the loss of the nttWSJ and all the consequent trouble that he suffered a stroke of paratySM, from which he died. Mr. Iareton found that his act ot vengeance did not bring any satisfaction. Father's death added to his sense of guilt, as he lnstlnctheiy felt that it was the result of his crime. He knew, also, that the bank directors suspected him. snd they were conducting investigations that might lead to his conviction. The existing conditions and the possibilities of the future were so appalling to him that he tried to escape from the results of his wickedness by committing suicide. This culminating act of folly left him hopelessly haunting the vicinity of the buried treasure, the discovery of which was the dominating fear of his last days. During ail these years he hal been a bound soul. In the hope of freeing himself, he has been striving to male known his pre- :. e to m and reveal the buried treasure. After he had guided me down the stairs, and shown me where the measure was concealed, lie vanished as mysteriously and s ; ' ! as he .a 1 appeared." It would be useless for me to try to describe the effe.-t that Dorothy's s'ran'-'e. uncanny, but profitable experience had produced upon both of us. However, our fears and repugnance to tl haunted house was gone forever. The old lawyer who had settled tha affairs of Dorothy's father, assured us tint there were no claims against the 'state, ami consequently the money was rightly hers.

The Training and Dwarfing of Certain Varieties of Flower-Bearing Trees. Among the many delightful arts snd Studies of the Japanese none Is more strange, unique and am ieut than thai of their traiainp, cultivating and dwarfug of certain varieties of their floweroearing trees They teize upon certain peculiarities of the tree, and emphasize or exaggerate this trait even to the point of caricature They aim to express delicate meanings which a western imagination could scarcely grap, as, for instance, laboriously training certain types of trees to convey the Meas of peace, chastity, quiet old age, connubial appiness and the sweetness of solitude, srites Onoto Watauna, in Woman's Home Companion; While SSjinlltllj srtistle. Japanese gardeners do not seek forrareiiowersor trees, however beautiful they may be, but rather cultivate the cherry, the plum, azalea, japonlca and other common flowering trees, and train these into the rarest of shapes, making festivals of their blot-soming-time. and placing fairy' plum and cherry trees in pots in the guest-chamber as a token of hospitality. The cultiated flowers of Japan are the wild flowers, and the cultivated trees are those mo.-t roninionly tnown and understood. It would seem that the same perverse srder of things obtains In their culture of dwarf trees as in everything else Japanese Where westerners would tram their trees to grow tall and straight and symmetrical, the Japanese fix upon a motif, and laboriou -ly , patiently and systematically adapt nature to their own design, until the tree g twisted and distorted from its original plan, and Slowly fellows their conception to perfection. The process sometimes covers hundreds of years, being handed down from generation to generation, for this precious labor cannot be accomplished by one man or one emeration. When the design is developed by the exposure f the root it oau only be done st the fate of a quarter of sn Inch a year. Many of the designs are developed by eraftlng various kind? of trees upon one root, or planting more than one tree in s cir i n and training the roots and branches together. The Japanese exhibit the ssm exquisite veneration for ape in trees ss in people, and a faorite conceit Is the training of the plum tftS. so rugged and gnarled snd knotted with its slender shoots and sparse gtuddi Ü arrangement of flowers, that it typifies admirably the contrast of bent or crabbed ace with tu I sad Igntous yeath.htst fJffciysg When the tree is in bud.

Related Instances of Bank Checks Being Carhed to Accommodate Strangers. Somebody happened to refer to th exposure of the up-to-date "creeper" game as It was recently conducted In Filth avenue, relates a writer in the New York Times. "And 'they got loü from one man,' remarked sne of the group of speakers in an uptown apartment house a night or two ago. "Well." interrupted the grsy-bsire! man opposite, "all I can say is he deserved to lose it. No man has a right to carry that much money around In hit clothes." "I agree with you," said his vis-s-vis "Twenty-five doliars Is ss good to me at twenty-five hundred. I find that sum enough at all times. I never carry more." What would you do if you happensC to need a bigger sum in an emergency?" asked one of the party. "You might find yourself in a hole." "Not at all. I can always draw a check yes, and get it cashed, too." Several of the men present agreed with the speaker "It's the easiest thing in the world to get money." continued the man w he had introduced the subject. "At least I've always found It so. And I hav found U especially simple when I wai abroad. Only last year I was In London and ran short of funds Well. I simply walked into a bank there and asked them if they would cash a check for me. I was referred to the president, and bs saw me readily enough when my card was sent In. When I told him I needed a couple of hundred doliars be immediately agreed to let me have it. But b said he would like to cable over to see if it was ail right not that he doubted HM . but Just as a matter of form I told him if that was necessary not to mind. It wasn't worth while. Whereupon bs took my check, told the cashier to glva me the money, bade me a pleasant good lay and the incident was closed." "You have an honest face," remarked) one of the smoking-room group, w Ith a laugh. Y s And they mast be easy ovas there." vouchsafed another. "Oh, I don't know," put In a third. "I had practically the same experienee tB California a year or two ago. A banker there advanced me a hundred dollars on my check without any personal identification what, osvar These people evidently g. t to he the kennest posFlbli judges of human nature, that's ail there is to it." Several other members of the party then remembered similar experiences, and the general conclusion was that ths original speaker was right in averring that no man nred carry a large sum Of nvm.y in his pocket. 1 -e w. real! business men. but of no special prominence.
