The Times' Daily Short Story.
The Haunted Man
The doctor said It was a singular
case, but by no means a rare oue. Gor
don Combs by name a bachelor of
thirty-five, wealthy and takiug life
asy, bad suddenly become possessed
of the idea that he was haunted.
"Just wiint sort of a feeling Is this
that comes over you?" was asked.
"It Is easily described. It Is as If
cine were waiting for a dear friend to
die a feeling of awe a state of sus
pense, and now and then I find myself
cringing, as if some oue was aiming a
blow at me."
"Crash! Z!p!"
"That was from an air jrum" said the
doctor nftcr throwing up the window
and looking out, and then turning to
the bullet Imbedded la the wall.
"And fired at me," added Combs.
"Undoubtedly, as you were facing
the window and I could not be seen.
Your enemy is In one of those bouses.
He fired from roof or window. Oue of
them Is a rooming house, and It was
likely from that."
"It It might have beeu an accident,"
suggested the patient.
"Possibly, but I don't think so. Your
case bus gone beyond me. Put It into
the bands of the police."
Combs went to the police and report
ed the affair ns probably an accident,
but asked that they find out If any
boy or man living In any of the houses
bad nn alrgun. There bad been no re
port and no powder smoke. Inside of
two days n detective assured blm that
such a thing ns an nlr gun had never
been seen about any of the houses. The
bachelor made up his mind that It was
nn accident, but that the shooter had
lied about It, and he tried to dismiss It
from bis mind. He bad tho feeling of
fear yet, but be did not go back to the
doctor. He determined to fight against
end compter It. Two (lays later at the
club he ordered a drink, which was not
brought to him Immediately, as the
waiter had to serve another order first.
"When the wine came it sat at his el
bow untasted wh!Ie ho conversed with
an acquaintance who bad just come In.
"Hello," said the gentleman, ns his
eyes lighted on the glass, "but the col
or of that wine is way off tonight. Let
me see.'
He held It up between bis eye and
the light tor a moment and then said:
"I don't like the looks of this at all.
Let me takd It to Peter's and have him
analyze It."
"For what?"
"For knockout drops."
"Bosh! And In our own club too!"
Next day the chemist reported that
the wine had beeu poisoned. The waiter
explained that he bad left It a moment
unwatched before bringing it to Combs,
but neither he nor any of the others had
seen a strange person about The mat
ter was kept a secret between three or
four members of the club, and Combs
did not go to the pollca until a fort
night later. Theu bo went because a

MEN MEET
Aassachusetts Grand Coun
cil Discusses New Rates.
ASK BE RECONSIDERED
Petition With the Required Number of
Signatures to Go to the Supreme
Council Special Session
la Assured.
IloMton, July 21. A special session of
the Supreme Council, Poyal Arcanum,
fo reconsider the assessment rates, over
which there has been disapproval ex
pressed all over the country, is as
sured. Announcement of the. fact, made at
a special meeting of the Massachusetts
Grand Council in Chipman Hall, Tremont
Temple yesterday, was greeted with
cheers.
Attorney John P. Leahy, one of the
Grand Council delegates and a member
of the committee of fifteen which has
been investigating the rate question,
made the announcement.
More than enough signatures of Su
preme Council representative have been
secured to the request to Supreme F.e
gent Wijrgin for the special session. The
by-laws require thirty-nine names, and
more than that number have already
been secured. Of these thirteen were
Xew York representatives.
The grand council was attended by
230 delegates from subordinate councils.
An effort was made by a number of
past regents to attend the session. They
were not permitted to enter, none but
delegates being admitted to the hall.
At past sessions tho past regents have
been admitted as visitors.
Grand Regent Ferdinand S. Read of
New Bedford, in white trousers and
waistconst and black coat, presided.
There was present every representative
to the supreme council. From the be
ginning the meeting was taken up with
third attempt had been mnae.
"You have got a deadly enemy," said
the detective to whom the ease was
given, "and you must set your memory
at work and try to give me a pointer.
This unknowu Is doubtless a man. and
he wants your life mighty bad. What
man bare you ever had serious trouble
with?"
"No man on enrth. and I pledge you
my honor on that," was the reply.
"nell, then, what woman?
'None absolutely none."
"Well, here are three dastardly at
tempts and no clew. I don't see what
we can do but wait for the fourth and
hope that something may turn up."
Combs waited. He could do nothing
but wait. Three weeks later, as he
went to the stables for his horse and a
gallop la the park, he accidentally dis
covered a strong pin tluust through the
flap of bis saddle in such a way that it
mu9t have sharply pricked bis leg had
be mouuted. No man about the stables
knew of the tiln. and yet a chemist
said that Its point had been steeped in
a deadly poison. Then the detective
suggested that the victim make a se
cret departure from the city and go
abroad for a few mouths. This advice
was followed. The man was fast be
coming a nervous wreck, and he real
ized that be must get from under the
shadow or collapse. No one could have
made a more secret departure, and yet
when the steamer bound for London
was three days out be discovered that
his box of favorite cigars bad been
meddled with and probably poisoned.
On landing In Loudon Combs era
ployed a private detective to accom
pany him and started for Switzerland.
Every precaution was used in getting
away and In reaching a place oil the
traveled route, and for a mouth the
hunted man had peace. There was no
other guest at tho chalet where the
two found lodgings, and It was some
miles to the nearest village or hotel.
One day the bachelor, who was now re
gaining his lost flesh and spirits, went
up the mountain to a peculiarly shaped
Fpot called the basin. It was a quiet
retreat, and It had become his habit to
read and smoke there when the weath
er was pleasant. Ou this day the de-
tettlve accompanied him, but had
fallen asleep after finishing bis cigar.
Suddenly the old feeling came back
to Combs. He fought with it for five
minutes, and then started up with a
gronn on bis Hps. He had not yet
reached bis feet when a great rock
weighing a ton or more came tumbling
down into the sink and struck him
fairly and crushed the life ouf of blrn
In an Instant The detective awoke
and sprang up and rushed up the
path, but no one was In sight. He lis
teued, and what be thought he heard
was the faint sounds of footsteps run
nine away through the fir trees. He
saw uo one; he could hot be sure that
any human being had been within
half a mile of the place, and yet Gor
don Combs lay dead beneath the rock
that fcumaa hands bad set rolling.

You
Get Up
In the morning tired, languid,
and frequently with a headache
that is almost unbearable. You
have been nervous, restless and
sleepless night after night, and
gloomy and irritable during
the day. This nervous exhaus
tion affects the heart, lungs and
other organs that depend upon
the nerves for motive power.
.Then the stomach fails to di
gest the food ; the heart action
is weak, and circulation poor,
and the kidneys and liver in
active. What you need is not a stom
ach, head, kidney or liver med
icine, but Dr. Miles' Nervine to
soothe and feed the nerves and
build nerve tissue.
