The invitations should be a little out of the ordinary—tele- phone messages or jolly little notes, and the more wierd the better. Cards adorned with witches, black cats or owls, bear- ing the words "come acrd learn your fate on Hallowe'en at the home of—" are appropriate. The following verse may, also be used: "At our house on Hal- lowe'en your presence is request- ed. There signs and omens will be seen, and fortunes will be tested." Very often a big kitchen is the scene of the festivityas here all the apples and flcur and water• tricks can be played without much , !damage to the surroundings: Tats room may be decorated in the usual Harvest Horne style with pumpkins, strings of ,corn, dried red peppers, autumn leaves or any spoils of garden or wood- land. Candles stuck in bottles may have black cat shades. Black • ON THE PURCHASE OF A NEW Coles PRESSURE MANTLE LAMP kid. gloves stuffed with wet bran should be placed where guests will come in contact with them, while skulls and long bony hands may be cut from black paper and hung from walls and chandeliers. Paper cloth and napkins with ap- propriate designs may be bought in the shops, also inexpensive fa- vors, as horseshoes, rabbit -fobs, four-leaf clover, black cats, witches, brooms and wishbones. FORTUNE TELLING Among all the Hallowe'en games the following will afford much merriment: Fortune Telling by Saucers — seven small saucers are placed in a row, their con- tents respectively a bit of scarlet' cloth, a handful of moss, a scrap of blue cloth, a branch of thorn, a cord tied in a double knot, some clean water and a twig with forked ends. The person whose fortune is to be told is blind- folded and touches a saucer with the left hand. If he pulls out a handful of moss, a life of lux- ury! Thorn, unhappy life; red cloth, the army, militaryhusband; blue cloth, the navy, a naval hus- band; forked stick, marry a wid- ow 'or widower; clean water, single blessedness; double knot, mar- riage near. Another game not so time hon- ored as many others, is played with a tin dipper and a washtub filled with water. The hostess sprinkles a handful of soup paste letters on the surface of the water. The player closes his eyes and scoops up some water, If he or she gathers in any letters they are the initials of the future life mate.

CHAPTER XV So it was to the bunk that had been nailed in place that he re- turned, He. tried to pull up the floor boards. They were down solid. He regarded the portion of wall that had been behind the bunk; he noted how a short section of log had been slipped in. He began working at that short section. When it came free in his hands he found a hollowed space in the wall; his groping fingers came in contact with a small box of some sort; it was of iron or steel, a slight flat thing aa; man cotta have shoved into his pocket. Barry opened it. There were pa- pers or something of the sort, wrap- ped in a newspaper. The news- paper looked old; he noted that It was the Laredo Blade, dated twelve years ago. A Dead Face What it contained turned out to be an amazing number of photo- graphs., The first picture he look- ed at was of a little girl, perhaps six or eight years old. The next was the same girl; the picture might have been taken the same day. Another of the sante little girl —another and another. He flipped over to the last of all. It was Lucy Blue,. The one next to it was Lucy Blue. So was the next, And the next— That blanket -curtain over the window kept stirring, breathing like a live thing—a screen to shut ghosts out—or to keep theta in here along with him? He jerked his head up to stare toward the win- dow. The blanket at a lower corner had been shoved aside. Barry saw a face wanly lit up by the pale lamplight. It was the dead face of dead Sarboe. Barry was standing with his hat clutched iu one hand, the thin flat steel box in the other, when he heard the door open. That every- day sound brought him back in a flash to nn everyday world. As he dropped fiat and box together, as he jerked his gun from its holster, the door was flung open. He saw Tom Haveril confronting him, a gun in his hand, They shouted at eacth other at the same split second, and as they spoke they fired, "If They're Alive—" As Tom Haveril slumped down and they fell forward across the doorsill Barry sagged against the wall and crashed to the floor, The spinning world went back and empty for both teen, * * Tom Haveril rode jauntily up to Judge Rime's mountain home. Lite), Bine was on the porch to meet him, "But Tom! Remember .you're scarcely out of the hospital!" that place a hospital?" laughed Tom Haveril, and trial to. recapture her. His face was still white from some c,. yen weeks of being shut up in a room, the first few weeks of whish the doctor the' maiden and the other for the lover, are laid in the fire side by side. If they burn quickly a hap- py courtship and marriage is as- sured, but if they fly apart there is trouble ahead. Another nut test determines the faithfulness of a lever. Three nuts are named and placed side by side in the ashes. The nut that cracks stand, for .an unfaithful lover, the one that blazes bespeaks a high regard for the maiden, but the one that burns steadily site will wed, _ said lie had one ohance in a hun- dred. Tom Haveril liad been with her but a few minutes when into the yard came someone riding bot - haste, He came running up the stops, clanking his big -roweled spurs, Whe she hurried to the door Tom Haveril was just behind' her, looking over her shoulder, "Hello, Bon," he called sharp- ly, "What's up?"dy "It's about Sarboe!" "Sarboe! He'd been dead nearly two months!" 'Jake sent nie, He seen two men back up in the hills, beyond Cool Crick, Ile says one was Sarboe. The other was the feller that shot you—that you said you shot down. Juke says•—•" "Never mend!" said Tom Haveril shortly. "I'll come out and talk with you. Back off and wait," To Lucy he said, looking puzzled: "I'd better find out what this is all about. Those two, if they're alive and are ganging np—" She felt strangely excited. Sar - hoe alive! And that other man— tarry Haveril! She saw the Judge come home, riding hard; site caught a glimrpse of his face and so •did not call out to him, he looked so worried, .so ready to fiy into anger. A. ridor carie up through the pines. He went to the house, knock- ed, was invited in by the Judge, speaking brusquely. The two were in the Judge's study for ten or fifteen minutes. The door opened and she saw the stranger and the Judge together. The Judge clapped .the other man on the shoulder, He said jovially, "Fine, Joe, I knew I could count on you. So long, and ride happy." Joe went down 'the steps and t.long the path toward his white horse down by the barn. Cold -Blooded Murder Then she heard the shot, And she saw the ugly spit!; fire from the Judge's hand. The stranger, Joe, did a half spin and crumpled in the path. If ever there was oold blooded murder, she knew that this was. She all but fainted, cowering in her hammock. She heard two more shots fired; they didn't sound like the first, were from another gun. Still she hurried to her room and threw herself down on her bed; she wished that she were dead. When after a while Tom Haveril name aiding back she heard him, but she did not get up. She heard the Judge, as hearty as ever, greet him at the door. "Come in, Tom; come ahead in. We're a: bit upset here. A drunk fool, Joe Hosmer it was, came cut making trouble. Shot at me twice; nearly got me. I had to blaze back at him." Tom Haverll's answer escaped her. She wasn't sire that he Laugh- ed. The two men were walking to- ward the Judge's study; she heard the door slam. "So you thought you better kill him, huh, Judge?" said Tom Ha- veril, "Self-defense," said the Judge, and reached for 'tobacco. "Sure," said Tom Haveril, and shrugged. "I',m telling you some- thing, Judge," he said drawlingly, "Sarboe's alive. We saw him shot to death and then strung up. He's alive." "That means nothing to me," said the Judge, and rested easier in his chair, preparing to smoke. "It means a Iot more than you know! Something else has happen- ed that is none of your business! Now, get this: I am going to marry Lucy—and I am going to marry her to -night!" "I've fooled with you long en- ough, Judge," said Tom Haveril, as l A B A L l S By SADIE B, CHAMBERS MEDLEY QF REQUESTS I have had so many different types of letters and kinds of re- quests the last two weeks that 1 decided 1 could give this week's column none other than the name chosen, One request was for a "nut and date loaf using whole wheat flour," so I am giving you my favorite, which I use and I am sure you will like it.
