The conversation had turned on the

"It Is not ho In real life." remarked
one "i irelieve many a murder goe<<

"Ugh-h-h! Now Mi. Warren Is going
to tell another ghost story,” shivered
the souhrelte, huddling up close to the

The Dally Lark, In l/ondon,
“One hot August, when I had been
onsually overworked, anil one Is ul
wfiys overworked on a London dally,
my manager gave me two weeks ofT.
with lm pounds above my wages, to go
for a holiday.
"Now. I might mention that holidays
were so unfrequent that I didn't know
what to do with mine when I got it.

straight for the sea. I wanted to get
into the quiet somewhere, and com

"Here, hidden from the rest of the

little village looked as if ll might have
lain there, In the massive mounds of

and sorrow, and sin there, as else
where.
“The inn where I got lodgings was at

| as one who could furnish 'material,'
■ { and meant seme time to ‘work* him.
"One evening I sat In my little room
at the Inn, smoking and watching the
piled up clouds that hung over the hor
izon, betokening a coining storm. The
night was warm and sultry, and the sea
‘ perfectly eulnt. and us the storm would
probably be hours coming up. 1 stepped
out of the window, and set out up the
hill for a stroll.
"I walked on. not thinking of any
definite place anil presently found my
self at the old church, aud at the same
moment smelt the odor of a pipe. Then
’ I saw, sitting In the shadow of one of
the pillars, a figure, which file light of
ihe moon In the Hist quarter scarcely
revealed.
“ 'It’s Just nice sor, Old Roger, from
the ’(Hades, cross the way,’ said u cor
dial voice.
‘‘‘I often come here to smoke and
think. There Is so much work over
yonder that a man has no time to think,

j Thank’ye, I’ll try It, though I'm some
I afeard of ’em; but to be social, sor, I'll

A few adroit question* set him to
talking about himself, his master, and
the old days at Hetherglade.
” ‘Master Is a strange man, and a

often, an' he tells me to leave, but
I've served too long us man and hoy
to turn out at my age. I got as good
a right to stay as he, an' I tell him so.
I'm none afeard o' him, for all his
glowerin' at me with his strange eyes,
" 'Ever since the demon of death car
ried away the souls of the two young

Aye, a black and sad day, and here In
this very church It were, and nut a
man, woman nor child hut me, sor
and now and then a visitor, has put
foot Into It since. The simple folk are
afraid of the 'hunts,' hut 1 know that
there would he no ghosts hut of my
dear young masters, an' I'd be none
afeard o’ them.'
The old man, flattered apparently by
an appreciative listener, puffed labor
iously at his cigar, and continued:
" 'There were two masters o’ llether
glade, and o* the church, for It was
never owned by the village, hut were
built over three hundred year ugo by
a Hay man o' them times, and held by
their heirs ever since. Two kinder j
nor better hearted lads never lived {
than them, twins they were, an' as
near alike us two peas, Tall, with
flaxen curls that always marked the
Haymans, until this one. Their father,
who had minlHtered at this church for
two score of years, were that proud of
them It were sinful. One were a
preacher and one were a player, und
such music as come out o’ that old or
gan! It was like the heavenly choir.
" ‘Well, the old minister died, leav
in' everything to his two sons, an' If
both o’ them died without heirs, to
his brother In India, this same Jasper
dayman. An' It were down In the will
that the one should preach and the
other play so long as they lived. In the
old church here.
'■‘Well, looked like the old man
knowed somethin' were up, for he
turned up at the readln’ o' the will an'
were sore angry at the conditions, for
he said he were fifty then, an' liable
to be an old man, an’ poor. He's nigh
onto a hundred now. sor. though you
mightn't think it. Hut the two bairns
made him bide with them, an' told him
he should be their cure so long us they
lived.
" It were two years after the old
lord's death,I was sexton o' this church
always, that were before I were gar
dener. cook and footman, all rolled In
to one,' he added In parenthetical dis
gust.
'• An 1 went tip one morning to tidy
up a hit. The two lads spent much o'
their time here, one writln' of his ser

that deafened our ears,

of a young man. tall, with fluxen hair
that shone like n halo. At the table
we saw uuother figure, the counterpart
of the one at the organ.
"The old man and I held each other
tightly by the hand, speechless with
awe. Suddenly from out of the sha
dow there crept a third figure, with a
hawk like face und terrible eyes—the
figure of Jasper Sayman.
"He advanced stealthily toward the
table, and, crouching, stretched out hi*
long urnis over the halo like head ol

terrible to sue; hale and passion blend

wall came from the organ. Then the
figure of Jasper Hayuflin,which hud fol

again. With a look of horror, the
spectral tragedy was finished. The
knife wax hurled in the other brother'*

“Darkness followed, and a curdling
shriek, at our very ear, Intensified the
horrow. We turned to see the real
Jasper Hayman fall dying at our feet.
He must have been attracted by the
sound of music, or maybe the haunt
ing remorse of his own crime, and
came only to see the rehearsal of his
own devilish deed of treachery, played
at the command of the God of retribu

The plapt in question is being estab

raiser whose standing at the South

is the very best, and who is repre

feet wide by 340 feet in length, a grain
elevator, with a eupueity of lo.oou
bushels, n roller mill with a capacity
of 3.null bushels daily, and sheep |H*na
sufficiently large to accommodate 10,

Contracts have been let for the build

has been purchased from u local firm.
The sheep liarn Is to lie of corrugated
iron, placed on stone and hrick foun
dations, while the rest of the buildings
are to be built iif brick. In conneetlim
with this new enterprise, Walter Wood,
one of the representatives of the
owner, said that the sheep and cattle
ranges of the west and northwest are
Overcrowded and in in'der to market
finished stock feed yards located in the
vicinity of a market are u necessity.
On the ranges the ground lias Iieen
clipped too close to depend upon grass
alone for fattening stock. Corn must
be shi|i|icd to the stock or the stock to
some point w here there is an abundance
of corn. Since stock must come cast
to find a market it enn readily be seen
that it is cheaper to send tiie stock
east in the first place where corn is
cheap. At no place in the west Is corn
so cheap and plentiful as in Nebraska.
Tor this reason we decided to locate
our feed lots at this point. South

there is an abundance of good corn

It is the intention of the projectors of

sheep on tiie market here, take t hem

for from three weeks to three months.
The thicks will then 1m- in tile pink of
condition and will bring tile highest
market price. Witli the plant in com
plete working order it is estimated
that r,0,000 sheep a year will be handled
in this way. being close to one of the
best sheep markets in the country,
sheep can lie sold at tiie best ad
van tag*.
Wyoming sheep men see tin* neces
sity of finishing there stock before
marketing and in my opinion other
feed yards will lie started here before

for themselves we will rent portions of
the feed yards and more than likely

s BINDING OF CHAIN.
i ■ -
Ulil HrC»rmlrk Clmngt-d from a l«fl
to n (tight lliiml Itlnclcr.
When binding was done by hand
| tlio left hand rut harvester was a ne
cessity. With
the left hand
machine tbo
heads of the
grain are at tha
left hand of the
f man doing the
> '’binding, so In
taking out the
I bundle with tho
band around It,
whether the man
turned to tbo
front table or to
the hack table lie
> kept his position
i toward the bun
<lle itself that
is. with the heads towards his left
hand; hence, in making the tuck he
i-lioved the ends under the band toward
the heads. Grain Is handled by the
shocker by grasping Into the heads, us
shown in *ho Illustration, and the tuck
should therefore be toward tho heads,
so that It will not pull out.
The applications of roller hearings to
grain cutting machinery was made by
J. O. Perry in l&ti'J, and his patent. No.
86,58-1, for an Improved reaper, showed
and described various ways of using
roller and hall hearings In harvesters.
Unquestionably the most, practical and
satisfactory applications of roller bear
ing* to binders ami mowers has l>een
made by the McCormick Harvesting
Machine Company, The Particular form
used by them was patented In 1882 and
is now to be found In all McCormick
machines. The especially valuable fea
ture of the McCormick roller bearing
Is scon In the form or cage as It Is
called -which holds th<* rollers from
i-unnlng together, and If for any cause
he cage Is taken from the shaft tha
rollers will not fall out and get lost.
In order to avoid the McCormick pa
tent the other harvesting machine com
pany who claims to be the originator of
roller bearings in harvesters has cut
out the metal In the ring at the ends of
the rollers. If the cage is taken out
the rollers slip out and become tilled
with grit, or worse, get lost. Tha
methods of the McCormick Company
result in an annual saving of many
thousands of dollars to the farming
public. New devices are not embodied
In their machines until long and oft
repeated trials have shown them to be
practical. It has been the same with
roller hearings its with everything else
McCormick experimenting Is done at
McCormick expense.
