I The Ghost In No. 41.
After waiting two days, during
which no tidings wero reoeivod ol
Robert, James Cromwell determined
to go on to New York. Ho had
hopod that tho body might be found
in order that he might carry with
him the proof that would entitto him
to the roward of $10,031). But he
did not venture to suggost that the
pond should be dragged, lest it
might appear that ho was too well
informed about the mattor. He an
nounced Ms determination to Mr.
Mnnton and Clara the evening pre
vious. He thought it politic to as
sign a double motive for his de
parture.
“You may remember,” he said,
“that I referred to a relative in deli
cate health irom whom I expected a
legacy.”
“Yes." said Mr. Manton.
“1 nave received intelligence that
ho is very low and wishes to see me.
So, although it will bo inconvenient
for me to leave my business, I find
it necessary to go."
•‘Perhaps you may be rewarded
for going," suggested Mr. Manton.
t '“Yes, I have no reason to doubt
that I shall bo woll remomberod in
my relative's will. I think that
when I return there will be npthing
to prevent my complying with the
conditions you named, and that I
may be able to olaim your daugh
ter's hand. ”
In the morning, James Cromwell
started for New York, going by
Wheeling.' It so chanced that he ar
rived in the evening at the same
hotel where Robert and Major Wood
ley had rooms. He was fatigued by
his long journey, and retired at 9
o'clock, or soon after his arrival. He I
did not think to look over the books j
of the hotel, or he might have made '
the discovery that kobert was still I
alive and that his journey was likely j
to prove fruitless. Neither did ho I
meet Major Woodley or Robert, for |
they were. sitting together in the I
major's room until 10:3J, chatting |
cosily. i
But James Cromwell was destined i
to meet with an adventure which I
tormentde his guilty soul with fear, i
and gave him a great shock. 1^
chanced that the room assigned to
•him was No. 41. The room occupied
by Robert was No 43, just beyond in j
tho same corridor. As has been said.
Cromwell retired to bed at 9:30; but
though fatigued, he was unable to
Bleep—he was haunted by the
thoughts of the pond and the body
that lay beneath, deprived of life
through his most wieked agency.and
as bo lay he became nervous and
restlo.'s, and not even his physical
fatigue could induoe the coveted
slumber to visit him.
When Robert, coming from the
room of Major Woodley, sought his
. own room, ho could not at first re
member whether it was No. 41 or 48.
He had the impression that it was
dl that had been assigned him. He
-A t

accordingly opened tho door ol the
room and stood just within tho door.
At tho sound of tho opening door
James Cromwell rose in bod and
guzod with horror ut the face and
figure of tho boy whom he supposed
that ho had murdered. The moon

lie gazed spell-bound, and cowering
with fear, at the apparltion.and with
i difficulty ejaculated;
| "Who aro you?"
| \n conpho itonert recognized Crom
| well and ho at once guessed the
truth, that he was going to Now
J Yorlc to give his own version of his
disappearance to his guardian. Ho
saw at once that ho was mistaken fora
ghost, and the dosiro sol/.ed him to
carryout the deception. Certainly,
if ono woro justifiable in frightening
another by oxoltlng his superstitious
foars Hobort was justified in terrify
ing tho man who so basely sought
ills life. Whon, therefore,with falter
ing lips, Jumes Cromwell put tho
quostion, “Who uro you?” Kobort
answoiod in a low, guttural voice:
"I am tho spirit of tho boy yon
murderedAs ho uttorod the words,
he wavod ono hand aloft, and made
a step forward toward the bed.
Kxeitod to tiio wildest pitch. Crom
well trembled convulsively, then
opened his lips to utter a piercing
shriek, and Hinging tho bed-clothes
ovor his head, cowered beneath them
in craven terror. Roliort thought
this a good chance to make his exit.
Ho noiselessly rotruatod, closing the
door bohind him, and entered his
own room boforo the servants,
aroused by Cromwell’s shrieks,
could reach tho door of his apart
ment
“What’s the matter hero?” de
manded a waiter, opening tho door
of No. -11.
Tho only answer was u groan from
beneath tho bed-clothes.
“What's tho matter, I say?” ho,
repeated rathor sharply.
Tho voice was so decidedly earthly
thut Jamos Cromwell, soraowhat ro
lievod of his fear, roinoved the
clothos from his head, and looked up.
“I—I don’t know,” ho said, “I
think I had tho nlght-mare.”
“Well," uttered the servant. “I
hope you won’t have it again. You’ll
wake up all that are asleep, and
moke them think that Bomebody is
being murdered.”
James Cromwell recoiled at tho
last word, and ho said, hastily, for
he feared a return of the supposed
spirit:
“My friend, if you'll come in here
and stop till I’ve gone to sloep. I’ll
pay you for your trouble. I’m afraid
of having tho night-mare again.”
• Can’t do it; I haven’t got the
time. Besides, what’s tho use? You
| won’t havo the night-maro when
you’re awake.”
Ho shut tho door and Jamos Crom
well lay for a long time in a stat-j of
nervous terror, trying to go tosleop,
but unablo to do so. At last, from
sheer fatigue, ho fell into a troubled
slumber, which was disturbed by
troublod dreams. He woko at an
early hour unrofroshed, and going
below ordered a breakfast which ho
did not relish. Thonca ho wont to
the depot and took tho early morn
ing train bound eastward. He was
already speeding on his way rapidly
before Robert Raymond arose. The
door of No, 41 was open and ho
looked in. But the occupant had
disappeared. Going to the office ho
saw the name of Jamos Ciorawoll on
the books of the hotel, and learned
from the clerk that he had already
gone.
“He’s a queer chap,” said tho
clerk; “he hud a terrible night-mare
last night, and shriekod loud enough
to take tho roof off. You must have
heard him.as your room adjoins his?”
“Yes, I heard him,” said Robert,
but he said no more.
CHAPTER XXII.
A Startling Appearance.
Paul Morton was sitting in his li
brary, carelessly scanning the daily
paper. He no longer wore the
troubled expression of a few weeks
before. Ho had succeeded in weath
ering the storm that threatened his
business prospects by the timoly aid
afforded bv a portion of his ward’s
property, and now his affairs wero
proceeding prosperously. It may be
asked how with suoh a crime upon
his soul he could experience any de
gree of comfort or satisfaction. But
this is a problem we cannot explain.
Probably his soul was so blunted to
all the best feelings of our common
nature that he was affected only by
that which selfishly affected his own
interests.
“At last I am in a secure position,”
he said to himself. “Then the op
portune death of my ward, of which
I am advised by Cromwell, gives me
his large estate. With this to fall
back upon and my business righted,
I do not see why I should not look
forward in a few years to #5 JO, 000.
He was indulging in these satis
factory leflections when the door
opened, and a servant entered.
“A gentleman to see you,” he said.
“Who is it?” asked Mr. Morton.
“1 think it is the same one that
called several times about the time of
Mr. Raymond's funeral.”
“Cromwell!” repeated Mr. Morton.
“Show him up.” he said.
A moment aftorward James Crom
well entered the room. The two
looked at each other with a kind of
guilty intelligence. Each saw in the
other a murderer. One had put to
death his intimate friend for the
sake of his money. The other had
sent to death (so they both sup
posed) an innocent bov. confided to
his charge, and this crime, too. was
instigated by the same sordid mo
tive.
“Well,’* said Paul Morton, slowly.
•‘Did you receive a letter V»«;s me
a day or two since?’’ asked James
Cromwell.
••Yes.”
•‘About tho boy?"
“Yes, but 1 did not quite under
stand it. You wrote that he had dis
appeared. lias ho returned to you?”
••No,” said Cromwell.
“How do you account for his dis
appearance?” asked Paul Morton.
“I think ho must have gono out in
a boat on tho pond and got
drowned.” said Cromwell.
■•Has tho body been found?” ques
tioned the merchant.
“Not yet.”
"Was not the pond searched, then?”
-No.”
"Then how do you know that he
was drowned there.”
James Cromwell moved uneasily in
I his chair. It was not a pleasant
question for him to answer.
“I cannot, of course, say positive
I ly,” ho stammered, “but 1 have every
| reason to feel satisfied that the boy
is dead."
| “Ana yet, came away from Madison
; without ascertaining definitely?”
I *'l thought there was no need,”
j said Cromwell.
“No need! Do you think I am
i willing to remain in uncertainty as
to whether or not ray ward is dead?
i What faith am I to putin your state
ment. since you have no satisfactory
evidence to otTor?”
James Cromwell began to perceive
his mistake. Me saw that he ought
to have had the pond draggod, and
personally superintended tho funeral
ceremonies of his victim, in order
that he might have brouhgt tho mer
chant the most indubitable proof of
I the certainty of his death.
••Why need ho bo so particular?”
ho thought. Then with a suspicious
fooling, ho began to think that Mr.
Morton was making all this unneces
sary trouble in order to evade the
payment of tho sum which he had
promised him, and tosatisliy himself
whether his suspicions were correct,
ho determined to broach tho subject
at once.
•‘I need not remind you,” ho said,
of the promise you made me in case
tho boy should not live.”
••To what promise do you refer?”
demunded Paul Morton.
‘•You promised me the sum of$10,
00) as a reward for my care of your
ward.”
••it would be a handsomo reward
for a few weoks’ care,” said the
merchant sneering.
••I can’t help that,” said Cromwell
angrily. “Handsome or not, it is
what you promised me. Do you
mean to say that you did not?” he
added defiantly.
• Softly, my friend. I have said
nothing of the sort But you will
do me the favor to remember that it
was only to bo given in caso tho
boy died.”
“Well, he is dead.”

- " lor a Christmas Dinner.
North Clifton in Nottinghamshire,
England, is situated on the banks of
tho Tront, and boasts of one custom
the like oi which exists probably no
where else in England. There is a
ferry across the river, but if you and

one sido oi the stream to the other,
we could do so on payment of a fee.
But tho Cliftonians are a favored
folk, and are entitled to tho free use
of the ferry on tne condition that
they give the forryman and his dog
their dinner at Christmas. As

boatman would seem to have made
a very bad bargain. Let us hope he

The Mystic Plant.
The mistletoe is by no means, evet
in a state of nature, a rare plant In
modern times it is regularly culti
vated, the viscous seed, if carefully
placed in a notch in man/ tree-barks,
sprouting with ease, though its
growth is extremely slow. But trees
selected for this crop are soon inca
pable of producing any other; for,
the sap being intercepted by the
roots of the parasite, the proper
ripening of the fruit is prevented,
and the tree is killed. Hence little
by little the trade in this distinctive
feature of Christmastido has been
drifting over the channel, where
either land is cheaper or apple trees
are less valued.

Poorly Located Creameries.
One of the most serious hindrances
to the success of dairying in many
sections is the multiplicity of cream
eries within a small radius. We hare
watched, says Iowa Homestead, this
matter for ten years and noted the
evil results of crowding creameries
into too small a space in advance of
the dairy education that is needed to
make any creamery a success. Ten or
twelve years ago, when the creameries
outside of what was then considered
the dairy belt, were started, the im
pression was created in the minds of
many business men that there were
fortunes in the business and when one
creamery was started others seemed to
think that there was an opportunity to
start one or two more in the same ter
ritory. The result was that cream
wagons for two or three creameries
were driving over the same territory,
bidding against each other and offers
ing more than the cream was worth,
and the final result was the crippling of
every creamery and the failure of the
majority. It may be well to under
stand, first as well as last, that
the way of the creamery is not
the way to sudden and vast wealth;
that a creamery well conducted and
with a sufficient amount of raw mate
rial in the form of milk within easy
reach furnishes a good, profitable
business, but that the creamery can
not be run to advantage on a small
amount of milk. For instance, if a
township or any other section of
country has cows that will furnish
j,000 pounds of milk a day, with farm
ers willing to milk them, it is possible
there to establish a creamery that will
do a paying business. With this
amount of milk it will pay to secure a
first-class butter maker and this will
pay the farmer a fair price for the
milk. If, however, there are but
2,500 pounds of milk, the owners will
feel that they can not afford to pay the
price that will secure a first-class
butter maker and the result will be an
Inferior product and inferior price and
also a larger proportion of cost per
pound of butter, all of which must
come eventually off the man who
furnishes the milk. Farm
ers then become discouraged and
quit and the result is that the cream
ery fails. Ten thousand pounds of
milk a day can be utilized at a
smaller expense than five, and
twenty than ten, for the reason that
one expert butter maker, one or two
assistants, who are learning the busi
ness, can be employed and the result
will be that the farmers will receive
a better price for their milk and be
encouraged to increase the quantity,
and thus the foundation of prosperity
for all concerned will be established
on a solid basis. It is much easier
to avoid this mistake at the be
ginning than it is to correct it after
the creameries have been established.
Communities that are now thinking
of establishing creameries should first
see that there is an abundant supply
of milk within reach at a small per
cent of cost for gathering and thus
proceed on thorough business princi
ples. The creamery business is essen
tially a manufacturing enterprise and
the important considerations in all
manufacturing enterprises are, first,
an abundance of raw material, and,
second, the most economical way of
converting it into the finished pro
duct, and then making a good use of
the by-products.
Suggestions As to Kggs.
An egg is a thing of suspicion at this
season. Stale eggs and nest eggs have
for years found their way into the
baskets, not intentionally always, but
it is only by care and the greatest cau
tion that buyers can be taught to hare
confidence, says Mirror and Farmert
It is lack of confidence that lowers the
price, and in selling eggs the farmer
or poultryman must largely depend on
his individual efforts to establish a
ready custom for his eggs. This may
require time, but by offering only the
freshest and most attractive eggs and
aiming to establish a reputation for
reliability, customers will be attracted
and will remain with you. When once
the producer convinces his customers
they will receive nothing but the best,
he need not govern his prices by the
market quotations, but may confi
dently expect something more, as cus
tomers will willingly pay an extra
price for that which they are assured
is first class, and especially when they
have had evidence of the reliability of
the seller, than to take risks elsewhere,
and perhaps thus pay for something
which may not come up to expecta
tions. When one undertakes to m.i,,
a specialty of fresh eggs he should
keep his own hena One of the diffi
culties heretofore met with is in buy
ing eggs from neighbors to help fill
orders, but such is too risky. If y0ur
trade is so large that you are com
polled to buy, it would be safer
to keep more hens. One point
should be kept in view, and that is
when you make a business of egos
(not chicks) do not allow a rooster on
your place. The hens will lay just as
many eggs if no roosters are with
them, and the liability of stale eggs
will be materially lessened. Start
right and you will get extra good
prices both in summer and winter, and
if the market is overstocked with eggs
yours will be the first to be sold, leav
lng the careless persons to get the low
prteea There are poultrymen who
•ell eggs all the year round at SOcento
per dozen in New York and Boston,
and they have bnilt np these prices by
establishing confidence- If it is im
portant to collect eggs frequently in
winter in order to prevent them from
being chilled, it is equally important
to collect them in summer to avoid
having them exposed to the hatching
temperature. When an egg is left in
the nest over night and is covered by
a hen that desires to sit, the egg will
be subject to the incubating tempera
ture, and of course the germ is started,
which is a sure step to fermentation
if the heat is removed. When the
poultry house is covered with a low
roof and the summer days are away
up in the nineties, the temperature of
the house will sometimes reach 103 de
grees, which is more than sufficient to
■tart circulation in the egg, as the egg
will undergo all the stages of incuba
tion by simple exposure to heat, with
out the aid of a hen. Such eggs can
not be sold as “strictly fresh.’’ The
remedy is to use no males, and collect
the eggs twice a day.
Simple Mean* of Pasteurising Milk.
The recent Swiss dairy conference
haring stimulated interest in the sys
tem of pasteurizing milk, it may be of
much advantage to readers to be re
minded of a simple and effective means
of accomplishing this. Many families
we know boil the milk used in the
household, but an equally effective
method is obtained by pasteurizing,
while the flavor is not so much inter
fered with. According to the Farm
ing World the milk should be placed
in a clean bottle which is put inside
any convenient metal vessel, into
which cold water should be poured
until it reaches the level of the milk
in the bottle. The mouth of the bot
tle should be closed with a plug of
clean white cotton. It will be found
more convenient in practice to raise
the bottle containing the milk about
half an inch from the bottom of the
outer vessel by any convenient means,
and this facilitates the circulation of
the hot water round the bottle.
The outer vessel should then
be placed on a stove and slowly
heated until the temperature of the
water reaches 155 degrees F. The ves
sel should then be taken from the fire
and covered closely with a piece of
woolen cloth. It should remain cov
ered half an hour, at the expiration of
which time the bottle should be taken
out and put in a cool place. The milk
may be used at any time within
twenty-four hours. The cotton, how
ever, should nqt be removed, as it pre
vents the entrance of dust or germs of
any kind. The explanation of the pro
cess is very simple. ▲ temperature of
150 degrees maintained for half an
hour is sufficient to destroy any germs
likely to be present in the milk, and
by raising the temperature of the
outer water 5 degrees in excess, and
then allowing the milk to stand in the
heated water for half an hour, the
proper temperature is insured for the
required period of time. If the tem
perature of water is allowed to rise
above 155 degrees, the taste and quality
of the milk are affected, though not to
the same extent as if it were boiled.
Where a quantity of pasteurized milk.is
required several bottles may be placed
in the same vessel, all being filled to
the same height with the milk.
A Donkey Dairy.
In an important thoroughfare in the
West End, London, is the only dairy
in and about the city where asses’
milk can be procured. This fluid, as
is well known, is a valuable remedy
in certain complaints, but only the
rich can indulge in it very freely, for
it costs 75 cents a pint, says New
York Times. The reason for this, as a
London reporter found out on visiting
the milking stables, is its slow
production. In the stud of milk
asses nine animals were counted, and
though they are milked four times a
day each animal yields only two pints
through the twenty-four hours. The
milk is very thin and slightly sweet,
with quite the flavor of cocoanut
milk. Consumptive persons and deli
cate infants are its chief consumers.
It is both nourishing and very easily
digested. A featuro of its therapeutic
use is that when prescribed for adults
it has to be done in an underhand
way, as a natural repugnance exists
with most persons against its use. It
is told that one fashionable London
woman suffered an actual relapse when
told what medicine she had been
drinking in ignorance. “The winter
is our busy season,” the manager
of the stables is quoted an
saying', "especially during the foggy
weather, but unfortunately it is ex
tremely difficult to obtain the miiir
just then. Sold outright to a customer,
any of the animals you see here would
realize over *50 and would probably be
milked by the patient’s own servants,
who do not like the job, in nine
out of ten. Many consumers, how
ever, prefer to hire an ass at
a guinea a week and get all the
milk they can, and I have sent
several as far as Colchester, Brighton,
Exeter and even Scotland,the custom
er paying all the expenses. Persons
put the costly fluid to curious uses.
One lady had two quarts a day
regularly for nearly six years, and we
could never find out whst she wanted
it for until after she went to America
when it transpired that the milk was
used as a face wash. We have also
a military gentleman on our books who
orders a pint every morning, and this
appears on his breakfast table for or
dinary nse, while a certain famous
dandy has been known to instruct his
valet to mix the milk with blacking
f5 “ *° impart a more than usually
brilliant gloss to his shoea The
orders are aiways given in advance,
and after the first milking, at 6 o’clock
in the morning, the milk is put un as
required into glass bottles, which in
tarn are pnt in wooden cradles and
•Mried by a strap, so that the risk of
breakage is very small indeed.’’
