When Emperor Mutsubito of Japan died one of the usefully great men of our day passed away. When Abdul Bnmld, the Turkish ruler, was deposed, one of the most cruel and useless men of his generation was got r'.d of. Mutsuhito became emperor In 1867 at fifteen years of age. In 1889 he changed the government from an absolute monarchy by voluntarily giving his people a. constitution Japan's first great forward step. He sent representatives to foreign countries and received like officials at his court In Tokyo an entirely new procedure. He sent young Japanese ' into other countries to be educated. In uniting the provinces into one nation he stirred up a rebellion which be put down, but Note the difference: Abdul Hamld put to death every revolutionist who dared to show his head. Mutsuhito promoted bis enemies to offices of responsibility. Making his wife his confidant and companion, by his example the Japa nese emperor put the womanhood of his country pn a footing with its manhood. Abdul Hamld by his harem debased and cruelly abused womanhood. The Japanese emperor early undertook measures for the national defense. In order to provide money he and the empress agreed to reduce the household expenses so they might contribute annually S00.000 yen for the building up of the army and navy. The Japanese victory over the Russians justified the foresight. Abdul Hamld, on the other hand, dissipated the revenues of his government in maintaining his army of guards and spies. Mutsuhito died at sixty years of age, a world figure, loved and venerated by his countrymen. Abdul Hamid was deposed for his cruelty and rascality by the Young Turks party, and no one cares whether he la living or dead. The real ruler of his people encouraged education, elevated woman, forwarded progress. The nominal ruler encouraged ignorance and superstition, degraded women and was a brutal reactionary. The Turkish ruler distrusted his friends. Mutsuhito forgave his enemies. Seldom has our day afforded such an antithesis so startling a contrast between men higher up. And yet Look around you! Will you not find Mutsuhltos and Abdul Hamids in your own community? This Date in History NOVEMBER 6. 1671 Colley Cibber, an actor, who became poet laureate of England, born in London.

A GHOST

Of the Door that Was Only Locked at Night and Which Opened After a Weird Fight in the Dark by Unseen Combatants.

BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE. This is the story that Luddington tells. "My aunt used always to lock the door. "I never understood why. "And she never told me. "But every night after she had clos ed the house, shut the shutters, pulled ! flAwn Vw Kltnlr. nnl fillip Vl OfrtVA ! she'd go and shut and lock that door. "It was a curious thing, too. "It was a door that connected the living and dining rooms. "There were no passages, no entrances, nothing but just an ordinary opening in the wall between the two rooms and an ordinary door with an ordinary lock and swinging on ordinary hinges. "In the summer time you ask?" "Well in the summer-time she'd do the same thing, She would go regularly from her seat on the front porch at eight o'clock and lock that door. And if she wanted to get to the kitchens and pantries or the garden in the rear she would go round the house. "Never through. "Yes, she'd gp into the dining-room from the rear. "But she wouldn't use that door. At night of course you understand. In the day time she made no difference between that and the other doors. "I tried to find out the reason. "She wouldn't tell. "Said she hadn't any. That it was just a habit. That her mother had always done the same thing and, when the latter became disabled and confined above stairs, demanded that she keep it up. "And she always had. "While my aunt was the frankest of women I felt that she was evasive. Her usually clear glance wavered just the least microscopic bit. And when I showed a disposition to pin her down she displayed irritation. "Usually Ehe was placid with a maddening placidity. "Although never as much so after dark. "And on a certain night each month I noticed she changed her usual place at the right side of the table and farthest away from the door to the left side and near the latter. "And although she pretended to be knitting I knew she was listening. "I've sat and watched her over the top of my hook a half hour at a time while she sat, every nerve stretched taut, intent, strained, oblivious of my presence. "This was, of course, while I was a boy. "Oh, yes, and after, too for that matter. "I noticed it particularly after I went to high school. "Before that I wasn't bothering much about anything but having a good time. "And I had never been away from home. "So far as I knew my aunt was my only relative. "My parents had died before I was big enough to know them and if we had other kinsfolk my aunt never mentioned them. "We stood well in the town where I lived. "My aunt was regarded as a representative of one of the old families who, while not occupying a conspicuous social position, was still looked upon as solid and exemplyfying all the civic and religious virtues. "I used to look at her and wonder. "She must have been beautiful when she was young. "Her skin was delicately grained as silk, her nose as straight as a dye, her hair fine-spun, her hands and feet small, her eyelids drooping and heavily lashed. "I could imagine that pale skin all radiant with color, the drooping lids flashing up a brilliant glance for her eyes, deepset, had been one of her chiefest charms her gray hair black as the night she seemed to so detest ah. my aunt was beautiful long ago. "But if she ever gave a regretful backward glance she made no outward sign. "And never but once did she deign to hint, never so remotely to the eyrie quality of the house. "She didn't even then admit that I would or could or had noticed anything different or curious or out of the ordinary. "But once when I happened to be going out to a dance she stopped me Against Substitutes Get theWell-Known Round Package

STORY

" 'Edward,' she said, 'when you come in tonight I will be in bed. And, possibly, asleep. Please go straight to your room. Don't go out through the house. You may be hungry and so I will leave something in your table on a tray. I'd I'd rather you wouldn't go back to the kitchen or the pantries because the opening and closing of doors might waken me. And I've had a rather hard day with the club meet here and the refreshments and all the extra work and I don't want to be disturbed. " 'All right, aunt Marg,' I said. "It was two o'clock when I got in. "And It was my intention to unlock that door and go through to the kitchen. "I wanted to see if anything would happen. "I'm not a coward whatever I major may not be otherwise. "And I le.t my pistol under the porch mat. "I knew it was safe there. "So I crept in, turned on my pocke' electric lantern and was raakin' straight for that door when I saw -aunt standing at the top of the stairs holding a candle. "'Is that you, Edward?' she asked. '"Yes, Aunt Marg damn you!" I added softly. "Of course she didn't hear and of course I didn't intend she should. But I was exasperated. "And although she thought I didn't hear her I knew she stood outside my door until I fell asleep. "I went away after that. "Concluded I wanted to go west and try my hand at a venture of my own. "It wasn't much of a success so I returned. "When I walked up the garden path I saw some one sitting on the porch. "A man of forty, perhaps, with a handsome, dissipated face. "He did not rise as I approached. "And I saw nothing of my aunt. "He looked at me curiously but made no sign and so I passed on into the house. "I found my aunt in the kitchen. "After an exchange of greetings I asked her who the man was on the veranda. "I fancied she looked worried. "She wasn't her usual placid self. "And she hesitated after I put tlrquestion. " 'Edward,' she said, I wish yov wouldn't ask me. All I can say is th?' he has a perfect right to be here. 1 can't be bothered with questions an'' I cannot make any further st?temer' to you at present. All I can say is thf his presence here is necessary at th' time and that you must treat him cor siderately." "Puzzled and annoyed I wanderinto the garden. "I saw nothing of him at dinner. "My aunt talked placidly throur the meal, asked after my affairs, com mented on my replies and loaded me up with the gossip of the town. "Later I saw him smoking in the garden. " 'But, aunt,' I expostulated, 'surely some explanation of this man's presence in this house should be made. I'm not a boy any longer. I'm a man. And, with all respect to you I think you owe me more of an explanation than you have given.' "My aunt put her lips together in a way I knew and made no reply. "Perplexed and irritated I picked up my hat and strolled down town. "I fell in with some of the fellows and went to the club and and it was after midnight when I returned home. "I found the front door unlocked, which impressed me oddly, as that was not my aunt's habit. "But I was glad of it since I had no key with me, and so slipped inside the j hall. i "I started up the stairs and hesitat ed half way up, for what reason I couldn't explain. "And suddenly I had an absolutely new sensation. "It wasn't a nice one either. "For the first time in my life I was afraid. "My heart pounded, my skin was turned to goose-flesh, I feared to go on and was afraid to go back. "I stood hanging to the stair-rail sick with horror. "Then I heard my name in a hissing whisper "'Edward Edward! Is that you Edward? Come on up!' and dimly, Against Imitations

through the gloom, I saw my aunt's nightgowned figure. "I crawled to the top step and collapsed into her arms. "'My God my God!' she murmured clasping me to her. 'What have I done what have I done.' "And then I discovered something. That my aunt, too, was afraid. "He's down there,' she whispered. "'Where?' I asked. " 'He's trying to unlock the door,' 6he murmured terrifiedly. "And then I heard a sound. "It was the click of a lock. "The turn of a knob " Luddington stopoed right there and wiped his forehead. "I give you my word," he went on after a moment, "that never, this side of hades, do I hope to hear such an awful melee. "Shrieks and curses and hell sh bitings and chewings and rollings on the floor and crashings of furniture. It was as though two were fighting to the death. It lasted for an hour, perhaps, or for ten minutes. "We could not tell. "It seemed at once an eternity and a moment. "Like two animals of the jungle they fought. "I say 'they. But I knew not who. "Then, after a final crescendo of frightful shrieks and a burst of demoniac laughter, silence, utter and complete. - "My aunt and I, afraid to move,
