MYSTERY OF THE DOOR Hi THE HEDGE

Being the Remarkable Account of the Result of a Stroll Down a Lane Taken by the Cynic with a Broken-down Newspaper Man.

BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE. "Do I believe in ghosts?" asked the cynic flicking tbe ashes off his cigarette, "I can't say that I have any fixed beliefs of any kind certainly not anything so elusive as ghosts. Still " "Still" said the other person. "And yet" interpolated Sarah. "Oh, tell us about it I know you want to," growled the misanthrope. "I don't vouch for the truth of this " began the cynic. "Time honored start," interrupted Sal. "I will merely tell it as I know it." "Proceed," cried the chorus. "A few years ago, then if you insist," began the cynic, "Edgerton batta and I went over In Ohio to rusticate. Batts was all gone to the bad with his nerves, turning night into day on the Dispatch, and I " "Was suffering from ingrowing nerve," Interpolated the misanthrope. "Shame on you!" exclaimed Sal. "Don't interrupt!;' glared the other person. " was off on my weigfit and couldn't sleep o' nights," continued the cynic, "so we decided to go out into the real country and lead the simple life. First we talked of going abroad but that's j more or less nerve-wracking, and then we hesitated between a canoe trip in Canada and a shooting out West. Finally Batts bethought himself of an old farm-house down on the Ohio river, the early home of the Dkttses, and we betook ourselves tbither, secured board and lodging and settled dowa to doing nothing. "The house was old .large and ramshackle. It had once been a pretentious place of the colonial type its red brick walls and crumbling white pillars sagging with English ivy its garden filled with fragrant, old-fashioned flowers growing in a tangle; its grounds rolling, beech covered and sun-patched. "Its occupants were as old and tottering as itself two or Batts's great aunts, an aged colored man-servant, and a chore-boy. Batts and I spent a good deal of time tramping the surrounding country, Ashing in some sterile streams on the land, swinging in hammocks and lying flat on the ground with our hands clasped behind our heads. "We stayed out of the house as much as possible a musty mansion, full of shadows, dim corners, odd steps up and down from one room to another, strange and disconcerting sounds as have all old bouses and an air of melancholy. "One day as we were idling down a hitherto unexplored lane, we came upon a detour, shaded and grass-growu which suddenly widened to the fringes of a pond, from which there was a charming bit of view the pond oddly elevated, with a graduated descent on tbe other side to a cataracted stream, of which a "falls" was a part, and which glittered and roared like a miniature Niagara. "The lane turned and followed the banks of the pond evidently part of an old pleasure-ground, an unkept hedge bordering the sheet of water. "As we dawdled along we came to a door a wooden door, set in its frame, a common, wooden door, although thick and heavy and of solid oak. "It had a knob and an old fashioned thumb-key and a bell, of the gong variety, was fastened to the middle pan el. "It had 6uch an incongruous appearance, set in the hedge and rearing its height above the latter's scraggy greenery, that we both stopped and exclaimed at its oddity. " 'Looks like part of an old house,' said Batts. " 'A house burned down or demolished,' I said. 'Do you remember any such mansion?' I inquired. "Batts shook his head. He said that he remembered no place of the sort And that, although he had ranged the countryside when a boy he could not recall this pond or the lane or the view beyond. "For some reason or other the door took on a fascination for both of us. "We prodded it with our sticks, we rapped on its panels, we turned the knob but without result we pulled at its bell which gave out a sudden, rusty, gruesome clang; we shook it, we pounded it. we examined its construction and noticed its strong, and oddly unrusted hinges. " 'Why.' said Batts. 'should the door be in such seemingly prime condition. It shows no sign of wear and tear, of the action of the weather, of decay or delapldation.' " 'Iieta go on the other side,' I suggested. " 'How'll we get over?' asked Batts. "I pointed to a gap in the hedge down the lane a bit. "I tell you what we ll do, I, said. 'We may as' well amuse ourselves. You go round to the other Ride through the gap In the hedge and shake the door. Then I'll knock or ring and you push wib all your might and 111 pull and when Its open I'll say " 'Is Uly herer "Batts laughed. " 'We're certainly a precious pair of asses,' he said. "But here goes.' "He went down the lane, made his way through the gap. doubled on the other side and called to me as he disappeared behind tbe door now watch me shake it!' "The door rattled. "I rang the clanging, rusty, old bell and polled bard at the knob. The door creaked and swayed. f -Tush hard. Batts! I yowled. "The frame groaned, the knob turned, the door swung outward with a suddenness that made me stagger. "'Confound you, Batts I began. "And then I stooped.

"On the other side of the door stood a girl. "An adorable girl with a mass of short, curly, golden-brown hair and big brown eyes, heavily-lashed. She wore a white dress made in the fashion of a century ago and a black velvet ribbon round her neck. "I stood and stared at her. "She stared back with fascinating impertinence. " 'Is Lily here?' I whispered. " 'Why do you ask do you not se, me?' she replied with a mocking curtsy. '-'And as she curtsied I saw that sht stood in a high-ceiled hall, handsome with polished dark furnishings, with glimpses of old tapestry and doorways opening into lofty and elegant apartments. " 'But why do you hesitate?' she asked with charming coquetry. 'Is it that I am so hideous a monster?' " 'You you "I stammered, 'are the most beautiful girl I ever ' "With this she curtsied again profoundly and gave me a glimpse of white teeth behind red lips. "'Enter, Sir Flatterer!' she murmured, stretching out a rounded white arm with pink-tipped fingers, 'faint heart, you may remember never won

"With that, forgetting everything but a sudden passion for this tormenting girl, I ran toward the door, passed its portals and "Wein'cried the chorus. The cynic smiled vaguely. ' found myself on the other side of tbe hedge looking at tbe closed door. "I rubbed my. eyes, I wrung my hands, stamped on the grass and weeds, I gazed here and there I saw no pond, no beautiful view, no waterfall and no Batts. I turned on that door and pounded and beat and kicked and knocked it. I expended a perfect frenzy of passion on its unresponsive surface. "I ran to the gap in the hedge and found myself on the other side in the lane. "I doubled back to the door but there was no door. "I stopped and pinched my hands to start the circulation for I was as cold as in the dead of winter. "Someway. I got back home. I don't remember bow. "Batts had not returned. "The supper-hour passed still uo Batts. "Late that evening a messenger boy came in with a telegram for me. He was ill-tgmpered and impudent. He said he had been riding his bicycle round the country for three hours trying to find me. The telegram read " 'Just about to take the train back to Cinapolis. Am in Ottingham (the county town twenty miles from the ancient home of the Battses.) Have decided to return. Send my things up on next train.' "Well, I didn't send his things I took 'cm. "But from that day to this," said the cynic, "Batts has never been the same. There Is a coolness, a barrier, between us that I cannot melt or break. I tried to get some comment or explanation out of him I told him my part of the story but he would never say a word. Just smile curiously and look out of the window." "My eye,!" ejaculated Sal. "Never heard anything like it," exclaimed the other person. "Roth drunk!" mumbled the misanthrope. The cynic grinned.

At a meeting yesterday afternoon, a system for listing the condition and defects of the school children was decided on. There will be a card record for every child. On one de of the card are places for recording all defects in the health and physical condition of the pupil. There will be sufficient space for a report for each year the child is in school until he or she reaches the eighth grade. This blank is filled out by the inspecting physicians. On the other side the school grades made by the pupil wJP be kept, to be made out by the pupi! The two examining doctors will inspect the children for defects of eyes, ears, nose, and throat, and for other ailments. Blank slips will be filled out by the physicians which will be Bent to the parents. That awful sick headache again?

Woman Finally Recovers From Nervous Breakdown Impoverished nerves destroy many people before their time. Often before a sufferer realizes what the trouble is, he is on the verge of a complete nervous breakdown. It is of the utmost importance to keep your nervous system in good eon-. ditton, as the nerves are the source of all bodily power. Mrs. Anna . Kounz, 2ii Mechanic St, . Pueblo, Colo., says: "For many years I suffered from nervous prostration; I was unable to do any house work and doctors failed to help me. Remedies I tried from druggists did not do me a particle oi good. A neighbor told my husband about Dr. Miles' Nervine and he procured a bottle. After the first few doses I showed a marked improvement and after taking two bottles I was entirely cured. I have been perfectly well for years and cannot praise Dr. Miles Nervine too highly." If you are troubled with loss of appetite, poor digestion, weakness, inability to sleep; if you are in a general run down condition and unable to bear your part of the daily grind of life, you need something to strengthen your nerves. You may not realize what is the matter with you, but that is no reason why you should delay treatment. Dr. Miles' Nervine has proven its value in nervous disorders for thirty years, and merits a trial, no matter how many other remedies have failed to i.elp you. Sols by all druggists.
