Henry is be ing sent to the school for stealing, and since the constable has had him in his chargo there ic no doubt in his mind that the boy is guilty. With Dunham and his clerk both with the?r eyes on the lad he has liftvd ubout 12 dollars worth of tobacco from Dunltnm's pool hall. He has stolen everything all the way from Gato cigars to 100 pack ages of wheat straw cigarette papers. Besides doing all this ho kicked his foot through a ?2 glass in one cf the show cases in the pool hall as he was j rooking a get away with a load of ci-j gars.

Stato Rooms With Run Thrift, Langioia, f j Ajf.nl, HmUm t j An Apparition I f A Story of the Great f European War By F. A. MITCHEL During ono of tho Incursions of the Ilusslnn armies Into Gorman territory n general, passing tho estate of a noble, said to one of his aids: "Captain Ivatiovlch, I wish you to re main here till you get further orders from me. Take half a dozen couriers fitmi my escort, and whenever you Beo or hear of any movement of the enemy send mo word Immediately." Captain Ivnn Ivnnovlch left tho staff, directed tho commander of the escort to detail six men to attend him and, fol lowed by them, rode Into the grounds of the house, which was set upon an eminence and commanded a view of the surrounding country. Dismounting nt the main entrance, he went up on to the iKireh and rnpiod loudly on the door with the hilt of Ills sword. An old man appeared, who seemed to be a major donio, and tho captain snld to him: "I desire quarters uero for awhile for myself and tuy men." The old man Invited him In, telling him that the family, on the apjicaraiice of foreign troops, had left tho premises In his care nnd gone elsewhere. Tin- captain chose n room for himself on the second Hour and quartered his men in tin basement, for Ivun Ivano vlcli, being a noble himself and n re fined ntan, felt disposed to treat this place ns he would wish his father's es. tate far back In Russia to bo treated If tho fortunes of war should bring about Its occupation by the enemy. Having thus tnkon ihihscssIoii of his quarters, he asked the major domo, Peter, If there was anything to eat in the house. I'cter said that there was, but no one except himself to eook it. Hut, since ho had been a chef, ho could get up a meal of such provisions ns were In tho house. Tho captain direct ed him to prepare breakfast for him nnd give the men such supplies as they needed. Having refreshed himself, Captain ivnnovlch went out on tho porch, which extended entirely around tho house, nnd made the circuit, now and again raising n pair of binoculars to examine rising smoke here, a Hag there, a strong position on tho crest of the bill Anything, In short, thnt might bo of military Importance. There was no Hag In sight except tho Russian linno rial standard, and tho captain, lowortng His glasses, wont back Into tho houso. Being free to use the library, he took down a book and, being n student as well as u soldier, was soon lost In Its contents, Tho next morning It occurred to him thnt n cupola Unit topped the houso would afford him a better view of tho surroundings, and he started to go up then for tho purpose. Finding the door leading from the second floor to tho third locked, he called to Peter I'or tho key. "I haven't tho key, excellency," said i-erer. "When the family left the nrem Iscs they placed articles valuable only 10 inemseives, such ns papers and heir looms, on tho floor aliove, locked tho door and took the ker with thom." Ivnnovlch could have forced tho door but, us has been said, he was a refined man, unfitted for the barbarous side of war, so ho concluded to be content with tho vlow he could get from the poron. quite likely ho was also lnllu encod by the earnest look on Peter's face, which Indicated anxiety that he should not Intrude on tho floor where the family heirlooms nnd archives had been stored, One night while Ivnnovlch was lylnc nwnke he hoard a sound without bis room, in n 4argo open space, throucl which rnn a massive stalrwny. Soldiers in nn enemy's couutry are naturally on the lookout for dancer, nnd, tnklng his pistol from under his pillow, ho cot out of bod nnd wnlkod noiselessly oil his nare reet to tho door, which was utar. and pecpod out. A surprising sight met his view Bright moonlight was strcamlnir in through n huge window at the head of IM stalrenBe and dimly illuminated what at first the oantalu conceived to ih nn nngol. it was n fenuUe figure robed In white. It was standing ns If to listen. The face was sulllcientlv ugiiicu to indicate thnt It was that of a young girl. On second thoncht Ivano. vlch believed that tho figure was ono of iioMi nnd blood wearing n iiluhteovrn nnd walking In sleep. I he llgure presently started on. de scended the staircase and llsiipx;nrod In the darkness. Ivnnovlch, too honor able to follow, remained where ho was, thinking that probably tho girl would return. Ills anticipation was realized She rcnpiMnrcl holding something In her hand, though the wutehcr could not seo what It was. Ascending to tho d-sir ''Mining on tin. third story, who pus-ed In and closed i behind her Iviiiuivlch listened mid heard u fnlm sound, Ilka tho urn I lug of n holt moving In a lock.

He walk ed around tho house, looking up nt tho windows. The blinds were all closed, and there was not a sign of life to bo icon. "After nil," he said to himself, I Tvonder if I could have dreamed It. However, Ivauovlch repudiated this idea. Uo hnd seen u llgure robed In white descend the staircase, return and disappear through the door lead ing to the floor nbove. Of this he wns certain, and tho absence of nny appearance of Ufo there did not con vince him thnt he wns in error. Soon after tho appearance of tho mysterious figure, tho captain's atten tion was diverted from its considera tion by the appearance of a Inrge force of the enemy to tho southeast, fie dispatched a courier to And the gen eral, if possible, nnd later, hearing heavy Hrlng and seeing columns of smoke in the same direction, ho dis patched another courier with another message. These matters having been attended to, the young cnptaln's mind agnlu re verted to the mystery of the upper story. Ho said nothing to his men nbout the mutter, fearing thnt If he did he would excite n desire on their part to Investigate, whereas If there wore any Investigating to bo done ho preferred to do it himself. One dny ono of the troopers came to him nnd told him that he had better leave his ipinrters, for tho man wns sure the house wns haunted. Ho hnd seen In the middle of tlw night a llgure clad in white standing at an upper window. The superstitious Itusslnn, having con sidered the third story vacant, natural ly regarded tho llgure nt Uie window as a wraith. Ivnnovlch told him thnt the llgure he hud seen niunt havo been tin illusion, but failed to convince him. There was n hillside bach of tho house, covered by trees. Ivnnovlch Went out there with his binoculars nnd remained a long while, watching whnt was going on. Tho distance wns; too great for lilm to gnlu much knowl edge of nny value, but he kept his watch till satLslled that It was useless, then turned nnd was emerging from tho wood, wheu, casting nn eye at a window on the third story of tho houso, ho saw standing there n young girl looking nt whnt he had been ob serving. This time tho sun wns shining full hi her fnce, nnd the cnptahi saw not only that sho was comely, but there was on her features that anxiety which Is so touching In tho young. Itcallzlng that if sho saw sho was discovered it would add to her distress, ho remained In con cealment till she withdrew, closing the window That fnce, once seen by moonlight and again by sunlight, produced n vivid Impression on Ivan Ivnnovlch. It Host ofi before hlni during the dny, and nt night ho saw tho wraithlike llgure de scending tho staircase. It was evident that a girl was hiding, and It was pos slble that there was some other cause for suffering than fear of an enemy The location was German Poland, nnd Peter hnd told him that the residents of tho houso were Poles. Hut In war time ono Is ns likely (o bo plundered by friends as enemies. One night Ivanork'h beard nulck footsteps overbuild. (Jetting out of bed mid putting on some of his clothing, ho went out nnd listened nt the door lead Ing to the third story. He heard signs of something happening nbove. Then the door wns unlocked nnd u woman this time dressed In ordinary npiNirei camu out and met hlm face to face, Sho turned to go back, but Ivnnovlch said: "You have nothing to fear from me, Tell mo If there Ls anything I enn do for you." I laving been thus given confidence, the girl revealed the mystery. Wheu the Husslans appeared In tho region her mother, herself nnd her brother, nged seventeen, a wounded conscript In tho German nrmy, expecting to be murdered, retrented to the third story, icnriug I'cter to deceive, if iossIlie, whoever might come. They hnd takao provisions with them nnd would hnve got on had It not been for the wounded lioy, who was deprived of medical care. The night she hnd nppenred on the staircase she wns going below for a bottle of medicine which n surguou hud left for tho use of tho Invalid. On tills her second npiH-aranco her broUier was much worse, nnd she wns trying to steul out with a vlow to getting medical ndvlcu ns to what to do for hlm. Sho closed her explanation with pleading that Ivauovlch should not mako her brother a prisoner, for If de prived of her nnd her mother's tender euro, he would surely die. The captain, having assured her thnt. though an enemy, ho had u heart, went below and ordered ono of his men to lliul a surgeon nnd bring hlm there nt once. Then he went upstairs nnd found tho mother nml tho wounded bor. whose fears ho allnycd. They were comfortable so fnr ns their quartern were concerned, and ho ordered I'cter to bring them properly prepared food. A surgeon arrived In due time and treated tho wounded boy, who began nt once to improve.
