And It was just the next night the crime was. commit. It was the 27th of July. We was called, to the room by the scream - In' of the little baby, and we bad to break the lock, and there we found the woman dead in her bed, !yin' in a pool of blood, and the man he had flew! There was n envelope pinned to the t d'f baby with some money in it. We con- ceited It was meant fur to pay any one where would keep the child. Well, us we didn't give no one else the chancet. Me and pop we took and kep' the child." "How much money was there?" in- quired Kinross. "That ain't neither here nor there," sbe answered curtly, eotoring 'and look- - ing uncomfortable. "It wasn't so wonderful much, •considerin' all the trouble we had to take raisin' the ebild and the trouble we're bavin' now." she added vindictively, "with her rujinin' after our Abe the way she's dein'. To be sure," she conced- ed, "we didn't raise her the way her mother was raisin' her. I never did see a baby tended the way she done— n clean white dress every day—now mind: Yes, indeed! Oh, that baby mustn't . never get dirtyo'`when her mother had her She must be clean all the bine and get washed all over every day, mind you, 'stead of oncet a week, like us country people does to our babies. Then she practiced this Here hy-geen on it—she must scald the milk to fooingate the germs, or what- ever, and wash her mouth and eyes with borax water. You wouldn't be- lieve anybody'd be that dumm to take all that there trouble, would yon? But that there's by-geen. I hear lots of towuers believes In this here by-fieen.

When there ain't no crape wells it don't remind me -of a funeral, ain't not? Well, the preacher he had a wonderful solemn sermont. There was two or three sayed to me after- ward how they felt untler his sermont, and one sayed how she liked to hear a solemn preachiu' like hisn on a funeral so that her heart gets affected. "As a general I kin stand a good bit. 1 don't soon go to bed sick, but that there crime sent me to bed fur near a week, with alt the work layin'.

She paused to take breath, but Kin- ross was ready with a question to urge her on. "hots do you know that it was not a case of suicide rather than murder?" "The .coroner's jury," replied' Mrs. Morningstar, "sayed she didn't sue- code herself, but was murdered in the first degree." • "It is the murdered woman who haunts the room?" "I don't know," she answered, turn-- 1 urn=' ing white again. "I ain't never step' • there. Oncet, before we quit hotel'n' i and began farmin' this here place, we slept n traveliha' man in that there MOW, and about the middle of the night he waked us all with runnin' through the hall, screecbin' he'd saw "C a ghost. And after that we never put no one in there no more. Their furni- ture is all there yet too. The neighbors tells us that near every night any per- son passin' our place late kin see a queer light in the winder of that there room. Our Abe seen it oncet too." "Peter," Daisy turned eagerly to Kinross, "are you husky enough to sleep in that room? If you are you'll tell us about the ghost, won't you, to- morrow evening—if you meet her?" "Ain't you got afraid to sleep there now, Doc—Pete—after what I tole you let?" Mrs. Morningstar asked incredu- lously. "I'11 tell you tomorrow morning," an- swered Kinross. "Maybe I'll cut and run, too, like the traveling man. You never can tell what you'll do when you're up against a ghost." "Say," Mrs. Morningstar suddenly 'exclaimed, ber eyes moving from one lo another of her listeners with an anxiety amounting to distress, "look at Peg... Tons won't speak nothin' to Eunice, will yetis, about this here? Us we always kep' It from her. It would be ugly to tell her her pop mur- dered her mom in the first degree."

Kinross, who was watching the wo- man attentively, was sure that, judg- ing from her habitual treatment • of Eunice, her present .intense apprehen- sion was certainly not due to the .cause - to which she attributed it—tender com- passion for the girl. • She was evi- dently holding back something which if known would compromise her. =What could it be?

He was relieved to find that the door' was not locked. Once across the threshold he did not even glance about him, until he had carefully closed the door behind him. Then, turning, he. raised high his lamp: The ghost herself, if she appeared in the course of his vigil, would not give him a greater shock of surprise than he received as his eye fell upon the op- posite wall of the room.

CALL IT "The Best Editorial Page In Canada" The Toronto Daily Star publishes every day six columnsof editorials and editorial features—and there's not a dry line in the' six columns. John Lewis, author of "The Life of John Brown" (Morang's Series) has few equals in Canada. He is by many considered to be second only to Goldwin Smith as a master of English. Joseph T. Clark, known, as "Mack" when he was editor of "Saturday Night", is known throughout Canada as a keen, clever and witty writer. His cables and letters on the British elections from England, where he was . sent by. the Star, have attracted wide attention. . Two things to . be specially noted about all the 'Star's editorials -are first that they are always fair—no bitterness or biased partizanship —and second that they are never dull, but deal in a bright way -with the subjects in which you and yourneighbors are interested. In a lighter vein are the "Chronicles of the Khan" delightfully humorous -pathetic studies from real life, particularly rural --"li#c� "t?nele Wait's" Corner"- of. def poetry in' prose -. ii ' - "A Little of Everything" -that you. can .always count on for a pleasant ten minutes."
