I whispered, “Turn over.”
Hull opening his eyes, enough to
«see my white robe, he gave the usual
grunt and obeyed. In a moment his
interrupted snore begun louder than
before, and the ticker was mine.
To the next room I went and as
easily hslped myself.
. The third room, which was the
guest chamber, I visited with equal
success, and then, not intending to
upset the electrical arrangement on
thsfirst noon! sneaked out in the
hall to find Bill and skip out forgood
the way we had come.
Adimly burning gaslight mode the
darkness visible, and shortly! saw
Bill's noble ghostlikc figure emerge
from a room, and without looking in
my direction walk toward the far
end of the hull.
In one instant I noiselessly reach-
ed him, and, touching his arm, whis-
pered, “Come, Bill, it's time to git.”
The form turned around, but it
wasn’t Bill. The fierce mother-in-
law of the establishment stood be-
fore me, burning me with her eyes.
Ere I could hide my surprised face
and modestly retreat—so she might
do the samHhe got onto my night-
gown racket, and likeatigress she

cm, till she made me tired. I never
felt so queer in all my life.
At once yells and screams and
howls of fear came from allover in a
mad chorus. 01f went the burglar
alarm bells and the rattles, and up
flashed the gas till the whole lower
part of the house was brilliant. Luck-
fly I had captured the pillowed pia-
tols, or they‘d have gone off too.
At the instant a stalwart figure in
white bounded out of another room
and flew to my assistance. “Bill I" I
gasped. “Quick! For yum-life! Pull
her away 1"
He gently but firmly embraced the
old lady’s waist. and pulled, while I
tried tobitc her worse than tiger's
claws. “Tickle her, Bill I" I groancd,
seeing the pull didn't. work. That
fetched her. She lost hur grip—4'0-
tniniug, however, half my beard—~and
went for Bill. But he was too quick
to be caught. Neatly dodging her
