DY MARGARET BLOUNT.

VtC As. jc CliAFTEK XV. (Ccntinutu.) "What? Are the villas tales really true, then?" asked his nephew, with a look of the greatest Interest. "What did they tell you?" "That you wer In a haunted house 'with not one or two, but a perfect legion of ghosts around you!" Mr. Cowley groaned. "They aro In the right I have been Introduced to four since my arrival; and If you had not come tonight, I ahould have struck my tent and run away In sheer terror and desperation." "Four ghosts! Tou must be joking, uncle. You never used to believe in rjch things, you know! "Ah, but I do now! It Is no Joke, I can assure you, to see three such horrors as I have seen. And there is a beast of a cradle that will go on rocking In the butler's pantry. You can't see It, but you hear it directly nder your feet" "Ah! the girls were telling me something of that. But I confess I thought It was only some of their nonsense." "I wish It was! However, now that yon have come, I don't care so much for anything of the kind a3 I did before. You'll see me through it, won't you, mjr boy?" "Through what?" "Why, HI dig the old place up by the roots but what I'll come to the bottom of that cradle business. I fancy that all the other disturbances arise from that" "And I am very willing to help you." "I kn&w you would be. And now Just look around this chamber, Charles." "Well, It la a very pretty room." "We must sound these walls and take up this floor. There's something "wrong here, too." "Indeed." "Wky, I was Eitting over my cigar the other night as innocent as a lamb, when the door opened, and a great hulking nigger came in, leading a bleeding nun by the hand You young villain, what are yoa laughing At!" "My dear uncle, it Is too absurd to think of such things happening in this matter-of-fact century!" "Why, you puppy! do you mean to aay I am Inventing the story?" "Oh, no; but you might have fallen asleep " "A likely thing for me to do! I tell you I saw them as plainly a3 I sea you now. And the nun's hands were tied; and, by George! they came so close to me that I could have touched them if I liked." "Why didn't you?" "Well, if you must know, they tried to touch me, and I bolted." Charles nodded his head and showed his teeth. "The wisest thing you could possibly do. under the circumstances." "I see you don't hair believe tke tory. But I swear I was not asleep. And that was not the end of it for last night I saw another!" "Ghost?" "Yes, sir; and in this very room." His nephew looked incredulous. "In this room, sir a woman dressed in red, with a black mask. And she held a confounded lock of hair in her hand that I had sn before; and her face You are laughing again, you unfeeling wretch! I'll say no more. I'll give no orders to have your room changed! You shall sleep here tonight; and I hope with all my heart he will appear to you, and make you sing out of the other side of ycur mouth. Laughing, indeed, at such a tory! I am quite cshamed of you!" And the worthy gentleman trotted Indignantly back to the drawing-room, and never spoke to his nephew again that evening not even when he tooc his candle and bade them good-night CHAPTER XVI. A day or two passed before Mr. Cowley and his nephew could put their valiant project into execution. Meanwhile the ladies found the house exceedingly dull. The two gentlemen were always closeted together. The weather was inclement; the box of books fro Mudie's failed to come; and, to crown the whole, Christmas was fast approaching, and they knew well that they ought to be in town. On the evening of the second day they were sitting together after tea. In Marjorie'3 little turret-room. Mr. Cowley and Charles were in the parlor, hatching some plot against the ghosts together, and Mrs. Cowley gave a tremendous yawn. "So dull!" she exclaimed. "Rose, child, do road something." "Very well, mamma; here Is the new book papa brought the other night;" and tiie girl's eyes twinkled mischievously ms she began: TILE DOCTOR'S STORY. On my eighteenth birthday I commenced the study of medicine, and, with a proud heart placed my name upon the books of College. I had feeard much of the vagaries and madcap escapacea of medical students, tmt to my surprise, I found myself among a quiet and intelligent set of yocng men, who seemed much more intent upon mastering the mysteries of tlwe divine art of healing than upon vrervahlng off knockers, and who teemed more Inclined to mend bonej Qiaa to break them. As I was studiously dispose! also we got on well toDot we had an original character amo&f vm a demonstrator of anatomy, who was on the most frleadly tense with maay of his class. He was Aark. dient anhappy looking man, odfc sensed to have a most singular a4 caaecou&tabre repugntaee for all th details of the professloa he had chosen.

oo o ! w j tiit-r we Lij.il been exhausting conjecLires, an inquisitive student asked him point-blank the very question we all Tonged to hear answered. "Dr. Lee, why do you dislike th30 'hings so?" He was smoking; but he laid down his cigar, looking very pale, yet seemug willing to answer. "I will tell you why," he observed. "Long after I had mastered tho science of anatomy, I received an invitalon one evening to attend a private meeting at the rooms of a classmate -a meeting where a fine 'subject' Tvould be dissected by the students aione. I went gladly. The corpse lay 'ace downward on the floor, and they nere trying to lift it on the frame I had placed in rendiness. I assisted hem; and, as I did so, I fancied I felt h. slight pulsation of the heart beaeath my hand. But when we laid It on the board, I saw only a cold, pala Tace and a stiff and rigid form. It vas the face of a man some thirty-five j ears of age dark and cold and proud, vjven the heavy hand of death could not erase the haughty curl of the lip or the settled frown upon the brow. His hair was long and dark, but slightly sprinkled with gray; so were tho thick mustache and beard. His eyes r.-ere half-unclosed, and through the long lashes I could see that they had been black as night The careless 'hough rigid attitude in which he lay --the strong hand clenched, as if in vome spasm after doath, and those large eyes half revealed, filled me with a nameless terror. It seemed as if, though dead, he yet had the power to watch and understand our motions. I iad never seen a corpse that gave me such a feeling before. Upon his breast and face was the stain of blood. I pointed It out to my companions. "'Buried alive, most probably said one of them, carelessly, as he handled the scalpel. 'He must have struggled hard, for he is a powerful fellow.' " 'Look at hl3 hand, said another, lifting it from the bench. 'It is clenched so that the ring cut into the palm below. Buried alive! It is astonishing how people can be so careless now, when they have not even ignorance for an excuse. There is something in this face that unnerves. Mr. , can you not close those eyes?' " 'Nonsense! let the eyes alone ho can see the better that we do everything right!' exclaimed the third. 'Are you all turning cowards over a dead body? Give mo the sponge. Who begins? "He sponged the blood away. I stood near, still looking at the face of the corpse. The sponge, by some strange chance, had been filled with ammonia instead of water. The operator flung it carelessly upon the board close to the face of the corpse. In an instant, a3 the subtle vapor found its way upward, I saw a quick shudder pass through the limbs. The operator started away in terror. "'Good heaveu! he is alive!' he exclaimed, in a low, hoarse tone. "I bent over him. I bathed his pale face with water, and poured a cordial between his shut teeth, life came back, but slowly and painfully. "He was quiet in my arms for a few moments; then, with a desperate effort he lifted his head, and took in the whole scene at a glance. The lighted skullthe shining instruments, and the careless faces beyond the love of life taught him what they all meant He was too weak to speak; but he groaned, and looked up in my face with these eyes and they were brimful of horror and despair. "'You will live!' I whispered. 'Drink this it will revive you.' "I snatched a bottle from the shelf beside me, and held it to bis lips. I thought it was a cordial it was a deadly poison! "He drank, and fell back dead this time beyond all hope of revival. But, as he died, he gasped out, 'You have murdered me, and to the day ef your own death I will haunt you!" There was a long pause. "Gentlemen." said Dr. Lee, solemnly, "he has kept his word. Heaven is my witness that I would not have harmed him intentionally but I killed him! and night after night he comes to me. I can hear him speak, and those dreadful eyes look into mine wherever I may go. My bitter repentance avails me nothing. He will always be beside me. This is the reason why my profession terrifies me. And yet somo strange spell binds me here; I could not go if I would. I know well what the end will be. Some day he will appear to me to all of you as I saw him that unhappy night. And then it will b my time to go." He ceased to speak, and it was a relief when, a few moments after, some one started a conversation of the most imaginative kind. Dr. Lee listened as we talked, smoked his piüe, but said nothing. We heard no more from that day of the vision that haunted him. His fit of silence and gloom grew less frequent; he mingled more with the students, and seemed in a measure to loee his dread of the deathly objects by which he was surrounded. One day, at the college, on my way to the dissecting-room. X opened the door of the great hall and looked in. It was empty and silent The rows of circular benches were deserted, but a stray glove lay upon one of them; a faint and sickening smell of chloroform pervaded the place; and the foot of the suspended skeleton, whose grinning face was turned toward me, dangled to and fro, as if he was kicking it for his own amusement I shut the door, and left him to the solitude over which he seemed to chuckle. The air of tho djssecting-room was never pure, but on that day it was peculiarly fetid and nauseating. The mingled edor of burnt flceh and muscles, etarnant blood, and a certain Indescribable dead smell, such as any one may motice on entering a room that

contains a corpse, greeted me as I went in. Upon the table lay a headless body, the corpse of a man in the prime of life. I looked at It carelessly, wondering why the head had been removed. Suddenly I saw somthing that made my biood run cold. The right hand was clenched closely. Upon the little finger was a heavy signet ring, and the strong pressure had caused the stone to cut deep into the palm beneath. It was a little thing, but it brought the murdered man before my eyes as plainly as if he had been lying there instead of that unknown corpse. Hurrying from the room, I met a classmate on the stairs. He looked pa!e and excited. "Have you seen it?" he asked eagerly. "What?" "The body?" "Yes." "And the head?" "No." "It Is the most singular thing perfectly unaccountable. It gave ma quite a shock, in fact" "But why?" "My dear fellow, It is the Tery face, feature for feature, of the man whose story Lee told us; and the professor, fearing some bad. if not fatal consequences from this strange resemblance, removed the head. It Is lucky Leo did nt see it" "Lucky, Indeed! I will keep him away today," I replied. I hurried to his rooms. Much to my relief he was there, smoking and reading. I pretended a severe headache, and asked him to accompany me on a long ramble in the country. He consented, and we spent a long, happy day among the green fields and lanes. (To be continued.)

IN THE FLOWERY KINGDOM. Th 4rtlstlo Arrangement of Flowers I an Art and a Sclenoe. The chief difference between the arrangement of flowers in this country and in Japan i3 that whereas In this country the art is merely considered as a pretty accomplishment for gentlewomen, in Japan it ranks as a science and a philosophy, which can only be mastered after several years of close study. Far from being practiced only by ladies, this pretty Japanese art has among its devotees princes, scholars and other prominent men, who, having retired from the care3 of political life, are in search of a hobby which will afford not only amusement, but will also offer intricacies and obstacles worthy of their trained minds. The Japanesa term for a flower hana also impties a blossom-clad stem, and even the stumps or branches of flowerless trees and shrubs; and their science of flower arrangements consists not only in grouping Cowers, but more particularly in grouping their leaves and twigs according to prescribed formulae. The blossom is looked upon as a minor detail in the artistic composition, and of very small value If separated from the parent stem, whose sweeping, though artificial, curves emphasizes its beauty. The whole science is, therefore, reduced to obtaining curves which, though really distorted, have the appearance of being true to nature. Pennsylvania Grit TRAVELERS' DOG BAGS. Theatrical People Carry Pet L0 from Place to Place. A novel thing in travelers' equipment Ls the dog bag. It is produced by a trunk and bag maker who makes a specialty of things for theatrical people, and it is used chiefly by theatrical people for the convenient carrying of pet dogs from place to place in their constant traveling when on the road. The pets carried about the country by theatrical people, mainly women, include dogs of various kinds and sizes. It may be that the dog owners are on the road eight or ten months in a year and constantly moving as they are, some means of getting the dogs about easily is especially desirable. The dog bag is made in the form of what is called in the trade a cabin bag. It ha3 a box-shaped body with vertical sides and ends and with the top sloping. Obviously the cabin bag was the most desirable for this use, because with its straight sides it afforded the most room inside, and so gave the greatest comfort to the dog. Made up as a dog bag one end of the bag is taken out entirely, and in place is set a wire screen. Sometimes both ends for greater ventilation are thus equipped. Over the grating is a leather curtain, which may be opened or closed. Chicago Journal. Keep Tour Children Ilasy. Keep your children busy If you would have them happy. When the occupation is some daily labor which has been wisely allotted, see that it is accomplished as well as it is possible for the child to accomplish it under existing circumstances. But whether it be in work or play, let him understand that no matter how well he may have done today and do not be chary of your praise he has within himself that which will make it possible for him to do still bettter tomorrow. This treatment, Instead of discouraging, will eacourage, by inciting the child toward even better work, and will early implant that spirit of divine discontent vhlch allows of no absolute satisfaction in that which has been accomplished until the achievement reaches perfection. This Is the discontent which Emerson preaches and which ls holy if doubt ls not allowed to creep in to mar the aspiration. Woman's Home Companion Studying Criminal Keeords. II. B.

ARTIFICIAL LEGS.

HOW THEY ARE MADE AND ADJUSTED. Every Year Li tuts TJiat Approach More Svikvly to Ferfctio Are ltin Turned Out Wond rful Mt-euau.ain of Y7ool?u L.t-'4 of Today. For the advance that has been made in the construction of artificial limus thi railroads ar j to be thanked. They cause a demand that is always growing as regards quality no less than as regards quantity. To meet this demand the limbmaker, straining every nerve, finds himself turning out each year limbs that approach more nearly to perfection. The wooden leg of to-day is a wonderful mechanism. "While it is much like the real leg it. does not equal the real kg in any respect, and alongside of a real leg it will always be seen to ce a poor enough makeshift. Yet , hidden under shoes and trousers or a skirt, it serves; it enables its wearer to walk without a caae; it cannot be told from a natural leg. It seems, if you take it up and examine it, to be made of pink wax. It is made, as a matter of fact, of English willow, strips of Engusn willow, covered with rawhide that is enameled pink. It is hollow, and it is very light from four to live pounds in weight. The foot Is always very delicate and small, the ankle slender, the calf large and round "a good leg," you would say, approvingly, of its shape. But the foot has no toes; it ends in a solid strip. Suppose you have had your leg cut off above the knee. You will then require one of the most complicated wooden legs made, one with a joint at the knee and another at the ankle. You wait until your stump is perfectly healed and healthy, and then you visit the wooden legmaker. The wooden legmaker takes a cast in plaster of the stump. He measures your remaining leg carefully. "Return," he says, "in such and such a time." When you return the leg is ready for you. A thick stocking, called a stump stocking, is put on your stump, and over that the leg fits much as a glove fits over a hand. The stump sets into the leg so that the weight falls on the sides, not on the end, of the stuaip, and thus soreness is avoided. An arrangement of straps about your shoulders and breast holds the leg In place. You try to walk, and if you are ta'ily self-confident, you will walk well from the start You will be surprised to soe that, somewhat, the knee and ankle of the wooden leg bend in harmony with the other knee .ud ankle. When you sit down the wooden leg forms itself naturally into a. right angle r.t Ihe knee, and when you walk the foot flexes itself on the ankle. What causes this? The joints work like the joints of a wax doll easily, smoothly, firmly. The foot, pressed on the floor, causes the ankle joint to work; the bent of the natural leg at the knee causes the wooden one to bend there in sitting down. You decide that you are not badly off, after all, and pay ?100 to the legmaker and depart. Your purchase will last you about five years. It will then be worn beyond remedy at the joints, and you will have to get a new one. This will annoy you; you will havo &ot accustomed to the old leg; the new one will not seem the same untfl It, too. will be about worn out. In case of amputation below the knee the wooden leg costs only S5, and no shoulder straps are required. A kind of leather drawer la attached to the top of the leg, and laces up to the stump firmly. An artificial foot costs $45. A wooden legmaker said: "Only one In twenty are women. This is because women lead sheltered lives, because they don't work on the railroads, in the mines, or among dangerous machinery. Women, while they abhor false limbs for themselves, do not mind them on other persons. A woman will not hesitate to marry a man with a wooden leg. One of the prettiest women I ever knew married a man who had two legs of wood, and she is happy. A man, on the other hand, would not marry a woman with a wooden leg under any condition. That is where men and women differ. Women are more spiritual and more unselfish than men. A person who wesrs an artificial leg will have a wonderful and beautiful development of the shoulders, back and chest. His waist will always remain slim and supple. His figure, the older he grows, will approach nearer and nearer to perfection. This is because the management of the artificial leg falls to a tremendous extent upon the muscles of the shoulders, back and chest, and these muscles are getting daily a magnificent series of exercises. I know a young man with two wooden legs. He walks with a cane, and his depth through the chest, his breadth of back and the width of his shoulders, well set off by the slimness of hie waist, causes people on the street to turn and look after him with approbation. It is Impossible to tell how many artificial limbs are made in this country in a year. There ara three factories for their making In th's city, two or three in New York and one In Milwaukee. Legs first weie made of cork, which was not durable, then of aluminum, which was not durable, either. A'.tojrether Novel. As for blouses of lingerie material, they will be altogether novel when worn with a corselet skirt of black taffeta, which will lace or button in close princess lines or In looee folds that will be drawn up high over the bust. The blouse of white lawn Is tucked and lace inset to a marvelous degree, and the sleeves, tucked down from the shoulders, spread into simply enormous bishops, which are gathered at the wrists into a deep flounce of laco that entirely covers the hands. Artificial Marble. Manufacturers are actually making marble by the same process by which nature makes it, only In a few weeks instead of a few thousand years. They take a rather Boft limestone and chemically permeate it with various coloring matters, which sink into the stone, and are not a mere surface coloring, as la ecagllola. The completed material takes a fine polish, and many of the specimens are of beautiful color and marking. Used as a veneer. It ls about one-third the price of nature's marble. The Japanese have become manufacturers of buttons on a very conslderaBla icala

PHOTOGRAPHING JEWELRY. As a Precaution Ac Inst Theft It Works V1I. Photographing jewelry as a means of its protection is likely to become popular now that the picture of a valuable diamond brooch led to its recognition and recovery. But it is doubtful if there is oae woman among ten who owns eo-tly jewelry that ever thought of taking this precaution. One photographer who takes many pictures of women of wealth in New York said the other day that few of them ever had themselves photographed wearing their jewelry, since it had become the style to wear le ß jewelry than formerly. He looked at random over half a dozen portraits made recently, and there was scarcely on any of their originals jewelry that amounted to more than a few hundred dollars in value. Yet the majority of these women own jewels worth thousands of dollars. In Lngland the cr.ttom of wearing jewelry in photograpiis is much moro prevalent than it is in New York. Pictures of English women of wraith and position usually dis-play the entire contents of their jewelry boxes, and their tiaras, stomachers and necklaces are frequently conspicuous enough to be serviceable as a means of identification were they stolen, although thieves rarely dare to keep such things intact for even the briefest time.

ntter Than "Christian Science." Jetmore, Kans., July 1st. Mrs. Anna Jones Freeman, daughter of Mr. G. G. Jones of Burdett, and one of the most popular ladies in Hodgeman County has been a martyr to headache for years. It has made her life a continual misery to her. She suffered pains in the small of the back, anl had every symptom of Kidney and Urinary Trouble. Today she is as well as any lady in the state. This remarkable change was due entirely to a remedy recently introduced here. It is called Dodd's Kidney Pills, and many people claim it to be an infallible cure for Kidney Diseases, Rheumatism and Heart Trouble. Mrs. Freeman heard of Dodd's Kidney Pills, and almost with the first dose, she grew better. In a week, her headaches and other pains had gone, and she had left behind her all her illness and days of misery. A medicine that can do for any one what Dodd's Kidney Pills have done for this lady, is very sure soon to be universally used, and already the demand for these pills has increased wonderfully in Pawnee and Hodgeman Counties, where the particulars of Mrs. Freeman's case and its cure are known.
