Job Printing l OWING to the enlargement of our 3 3 3 3 Night By Ciara Lucy Deacon There was a rattling volley of grav- el against the window pane and then sounds of scampering footsteps dying away in the distance. “What was that?" asked Miss Ger- rick of her startled guests. A ripple of laughter came from the lower end of the table. “Why, Aunt Grace—don't you kunow it's Hal- lowe'en?" Kitty Gerrick's mischieve- ously pretty face peeped around the flowers at her nandsome, dignified aunt. “Hallowe'en? Why—dear me 1 had forgotten tbere was such a festival!” exclaimed Miss Gerrick so sincerely that everybody laughed again. *1 thought the fatal rites were rather weird and fantastic—indeed, when 1 was quite a litile girl my old Ger- man nurse called it ‘Walpurgis night,’ and 1 recollect she impressed it up- on me that it was well to keep under | cover on that evening, for wiiches and goblins were abroad.” “This is a twentieth cent | tasy,” remarked Mrs. “Nowadays we are ! hobgoblins are a delusion of the ig- Cmorant and superstiiious. hut in tol erant recoguition of the occasion we | ring doorbells, stexl gates trom their | hinges and tc nwo azainst the win dow panes to startle onr sensihle or forgetful neighbors” “Oh, Mrs. I proachtully, “what S O Dow't yoiu reember B "'t Hallowe'en HIBGOODIDOIDIFOVOIODHOIHIIDOD HODOMDOD " O CTOOOSOOOOOCN FPOVIOD0HOO0 ORIV newspaper and publishing’ business, it has been necessary to move The News Job Office up-stairs where it will be found in Rooms 11 and 12, Kentucky Building, in the com- For anything that can be printed, [if; you want petent charge of Mr. G.

Iated and lastly the one which bids the expectant maiden walk fearfully around the house, with hair unbound and mirror held in her hand, timidly hoping to see the shadowy face of her future husband peering over her shoulder and reflected in the glass. “That would give a chap a fair observed the captain se- riously, when Mrs. Bliss had conclud- ed. “Any fellow that realiy wanted a girl, you know, could arrange it 8o that he might peep over her shoulder just as it struck eight bells.” l “That wouldd't be playing fair,” | cried Kitty Gerrick. *“You wouldn't be giving the fates their due.” “Then there is hope for me,” re turned Capt. Aymer, with mock solemnity, and as they laughed no one saw the lightning-like glance that he shot at thieir hostess. If they had sen it nobody would have wondered. for | they did not know that Grace Gerrick and the handsome captain were old friends. and would have been more than friends had not some misunder- standing arisen between them. They had not met for years until recently, and the captain had joined the house party more as a distant relative of Tom Rliss than as a speclal friend of Miss Gerrick. Not even the Blisses suspected a blighted romance between the two. although many wondered why two su I handseme and altogether de lightful people should have remained unmarred After dinver there was music in the dravwiicroom and the topie of Hal lowe'en was not brought up again.
