Pays Dime Stolen
Fifty Years Ago
ROCHESTER, Ind., April 13 JP) -i-. ...
Everybody concerned was happier to-
day about the ten cent pair of garters
a woman stole from Lou Shoemaker,
a merchant, fifty years ago.
Shoemaker got a letter from a
womon In a western state, whose
name ho did not reveal, announcing
that she had stolen the gartoro from
the store he used to run In Kewannn,
Iowa, and wanted to make amende.
She Inclosed a dime in payment- ;
"I've been converted," the woman
wrote. Shoemaker couldn't remember 1
anything about it, but pocketed the
dime.
They are renting the Empire State
building at 91,000,000 a floor, it U
said. These stories sell, and how!
Get hold ot Manoel's coffin-drops,
thnt stuff he reckons he's tho only
white man who has got tne .low-
down on. Dyou Know wnero ub
keeps It?" " .
No. but I can get anything i
wnnt out ot Manoel," boasted Nurse
ones.
"So? And you're Jealous If I BQ

Whnt'll you toll Manoel you, want
the poison for?'
That -It's tor a cat l want n get
rid of." ; :
Gee! And .so It IS!" taugueu
Mr. Jnmes.
When Mr. James, aa be reguiariy
did, -moved about the houae In the
night or the small ,nours or wv
morning hla alienee ano, coiuiium
tlve Invisibility were remarkable.
Black olothlng, eoeltB. gloves and.
black ellk handkerchief anoui
hla face, rendered bin. but a more
aubstantlal shadow among the Im
material shadows and darknessea
of tho ancient house.
Armed and a ert. he acted aa
though a dangerous enemy might
attempt entry sucn as ue wnu u
tored the bouBe of Mr. Webb ot
Wltherby End to slay and rob.
There had been, a year or two
ago. a story about a maid who, go-
inn to bod quite sape, was un
covered loler to De quite lnsnna.
Tho slllv creature could only oap-
bio of a black bogey In the corrldori
Ami now Mra. Meeklns. the
bousokeoper, was tolling Mr B iard,
the butler, that here was turn
Sprnsse. that pretty bousemala',
winning to leave. ,
Har info was that aha crept o.ut
of the room where she and two
others slept, and wont down to the
Moor below to ask the nurae to give
her something tor n raging tooth
ache. . :' ' . ; ''.;
Aa she got to" tho bottom 'of the
stalrcnsq. she saw. according to
her account, "an awful black thing"
pasB 4he end or the corridor, and,
ns alio stood, trembling la terror,
another a bigger onewent past
th' same 8pot- The next thing
sho know was that ahe wns half
lying nt the bottom of the stalre
snd ns cold as death. When she
hnd "come round a bit more," alio
had crept to her room, ber tooth-
arhe completely cured.
"llnvo her up before the Doctor,"
opined Mr. Board. "That gel
thought she'd llko to mnke a sensa
tion nnd got a bit o' Importance."
And yet despite Mr. Board and
bin opinion of a muld's veracity,
the shadow Hint was Mr. James had,
upon occnslon. a shadow, though
Ik did not cast 1 1.
.Mr. John Waye, who slopt little
and mostly hy day, was Invariably
nwako between the hours ot ten,
when nurses went oft duty tor the
night, and six In the morning, when
nurses and daylight did appear.
Somo part ot the night he spent In
writing, some In rending, and nt
certain hours ho sat In darkness
nnd hi thought, his oil il face grim.
