Through the London Times he

He said:
"The Roumanians will not falter in
their allegiance to the cauBe, nor can
the enemy wean them from their
faith in their allies. Yet the Rou

existing exigencies and their own

MARY PICKFORD.
What is the secret of Mary Pick

She is the Maude Adams of the

archy Mr. Wilson has excited in Mex

plotting against Carranza. Sen. Piles

breaking it and becauso it raises tho

Chicago, October 18. The
ghost" of tho Prentiss L. CoonTcy chn
teau in the colony of multi-million-nires
nt Iiike Forest, shorn of its mys
tic habiliments, stood in the presence
of the County Judge nt Wnukegan,
county sent of Lake County.
The "ghost" sped through the hills
of the Coonley mansion by night, gave
utterance to strange, creepy sounds
which shivering members of the fam
ily translated through their imagina
tions in to unearthly noises, and retir
ed by day to remote shadows in the
gables of the lofty roof.
The trouble was that the "ghost" is
alleged to have threatened the life of
Mr. Coonley. So the skeptical serv
ants of the law tracked the mysterious
snatie to its haunts anil captured a
woman.
"Two years ago," said Mr. Coonlej,
"I discovered, greatly to my surprise
that Mary Hiokley had been living for
some time in my home nnd kept her
clothes in a closet in the basement.
The servants had not informed nip of
her presence and had permitted her
to stny becaur.s they felt sorry for
her. I told her to leave and so far as
I know she has never been in the
house since.
"I h"ve bon told repeatedly that
she said she would got mo if she
spent the rest of her life in prison
in fact, thnt she would be content to
spend the rest of her life in prison so
long as she got me.
