"The dny forea went out when they

this morning."
"Don't you tliluk that Ted could
help?" she pleaded. "He knows the
men so well."
"I told Itaymond that I would not
have him about the works attain," said
the old man bitterly. "Have you
broken your pledge?"
"I have not seen him since that
night," she declnred, "but I do think
he could do you so much good, father."
Ellison pushed her nsldo with gentle
roughness and passed on up the walk.

replaced with new men the newcom
ers bad refused to remain In the plant,
declaring it to be haunted.
The cuglneor employed to replace
the striker had disappeared after the
first night's work, and it was declared
that he had been thrown into the fur
nace. Night after night his phantom form
could be seen hovering In tho smoke
nnd steam from the stack anil exhaust
pipes, and no lntui dared remain, the
fear of the night shift communicating
Itself to the duy force.
Kaymond always bad a good Influence
over the men, nnd Nettie felt certain
that he would be able to adjust mat
ters, but she had given her pledge not
even to speak to him, and she oonld not
urge him to take up the wor k.
It was late that night and Nettle was
combing her hair when th-'ro came a
gentle tnp on tho door, aud she opened
it to admit her father. She wns shock
ed at the change that had came over
him in the few hours since dinner. His
face was senmVd with furrows nnd his
form stooped with care.
"I have been thinking over what you
said," he began without preface as she
assisted him to a chair. "I do not want
to break my word, but absolute ruin
stares me in the face. If Kaymond can
stop this fear of the supernatural In the
men I will take back what I said and
accept hlin ns my son-in-law. Will you
send him to me in the morning?"
"Are things ns bad as Unit?" she
asked. Ellison nodded.
"Unless I can obtain a permanent
force by the end of the week." he said,
"It will be impossible to complete this
contract In time." I
"And this Is only Tuesday," she j
mused. "Ted can do it."
Ellison went away comforted. Apart
from what he termed his presumption,
he liked the man with his clean cut in
cisive manner and quick comprehen
sion. Somehow he felt that herein lay
his solution.
The next dny there was consternation
In the strikers' camp. The pickets re
ported that Ted had been made super
intendent of the works. They liked
blm, but also they fenred him.
That night gnve Ted his first view
of the specter. He remained with the
night shift, and shortly after midnight
there wns a cry of alarm In the ynrd,
nnd he rushed out to find the men all
Btnrlng at the huge smokestack.

Fnioke floated the dead unglneer's Im

The day shift went to work, as usual,
hut It was not long Iwfore tha mm.
grew uneasy. There were no appai-i-tlous
In the daytime. I.ut they Mt
nervous at tbe thou.-ht that the splilt
of the murdered mau hovered over the
works.
At the uoou hour they talked it ovor
and when il,e whistle blew for the te
turu to work they weut to the office lu
a body. They found Ted husy with
some bits of glass covered with rod
paint. He looked up as the spokes
man entered.
"Better muke It short," he said quiet
ly. "I suppose you do not want to
keep on working In a hauuted foun
dry." "That's right," declared the lender.
"We can't stand it."
"Thiuk yoo cau hold out through the
afternoon?" he asked. "We are going
to give a little ghost party tonight
Keep at it until knock-off time comes,
and the two shifts will have supper
together."
"Won't that ghost lie around to
nlgbt?" demanded the leader suspi
ciously, "it may be all foolishness,
but you saw It yourself last night."
"I hope to again this evening," he
said. "That is where the fun will
come. Like to be a ghost yourself to
night?" Something In Ted's manner con
vinced the committee. The members
went out Into the yard and advised a
return to work. All the afternoon
there was nil evident dislike of going
into dark comers alone, nnd the engi
neer shivered every time the draft
made the furnace roar, but they all
stuck to the work mid shared lu the
party at 0 o'clock.
"It will be dark enough by 0 to
have the party," declared Ted. "When
tbe whistle blows come Into' the yard
and don't be afraid."
Just before 0 Nettie and her father
came whirling up. nnd n few min
utes Inter the whistle blew its sum
mons. The men trooped into the ynrd
and gathered about In little . knots,
whispering to themselves. Presently
from the stack there 1 nrose a dense
white smoke, and almost Immediately
the ghost of the dead engineer ap
fieared. With n cry the men drew to
gether, nnd n moment later Madison,
the spokesman of the morning, came
toward Ted.
The boys want to know If you are
going to keep your word," he said
roughly. "You said you wns going to
fix that ghost."
"So I am." said Ted evenly. "I said,
too, that I was going to make a ghost
of you. Look up."
With a sliriek Madison fell to the
ground, writhing In terror. There in
the smoke wreaths was his own fnce.
Ted's face followed and in turn a
dozen of the others. Then tbe light
died away and Ted mounted the steps
of the oflicc.
Boys," he said In n voice thnt pene
trated every part of the yard, "I prom
ised you that I would lay that ghost.
I think I have done so. It wns n clever
stage trick. The strikers are using
Jones' hall across the street for their
meetings. You enn see that the tower
Is about level with the stack. When
fresb coal was put on and tbe smoke
was heavy It acted ns n screen for n
magic lantern lu the tower. Thnt was
all there was to It. When they went
up to work the lantern tonight I had
the police there to catch them, and my
own man worked the lantern for this
little seance. One of the men they
caught was the engineer himself. He
Is no more dead than I am. Are you
satisfied to go back to work? We have
n big contract, and I want to know
thnt -yon boys will stick."
You bet we will!" came the chorus,
nnd Ted turned to Nettie.
Let's go over to the house and have
our own celelirutlon." he suggested.

Peters Cartridges
ESTABLISHED THE WORLD'S RECORD
24B1 out of a possible 2500 made by W. A. Tewes. 80
cent of the contest mts used Peters Cartridges,
the semi. smokeless kind.
First honors at Settler Rille Club Open Tournament, New York, March 10
17, 1906, 100 shot match won by Arthur Tubarle, score 2468.
Seveu of the first ten prize winners used Peters .7.2 short carfidges.
Zimmerman Trophy won by L. P. Ittel Best bul.seye made by W. Ros
enbaum L. C. Buss and L. Jf. Ittel made the possible 2 25 on the Ring Target.
If there ever was the slightest doubt in any mind as to tbe superiority of
Peters Cartridges of all calibres, tht doubt has been dispelled for all time by the
results of the Sea Girt, Grand Rapids and New York tournaments. The various
winnings and high scores were not the result of accident, but may be credited to
good holding and ABSOLUTELY PERFECT AMMUNITION. The inevitable
Conclusion is that if Peters Cartridges, whether large or small calibre, are equal to
these most crucial teits, they are the best to use in any kind of shooiing, either
target practice, hunting, police or military purposes.
