It Seems to JU the Custom to Humor Nag STiDRt Profane Bosses. "Tho way some men aro managed is queer sometimes, " the manager of a big concern remarked to an ac quaintance who had dropped into the office. "I have never had any difficulty in managing men and get ting the proper amount of work out of them, and I think I have some executive ability, but I doubt wheth er I could managel a gang of work men on the river front, and I think that if I were a workman I would not be managed ' as I have seen men I A Slender Thread Unraveled i the Mystery of Clanking Chains. I was a young and timid girl, but a ,fow months married, when my husband, a marine officer, was or dered to the marine barracks at Bos ton. We had quite pleasant quarters and good friends around, us, who would of ton beguile the evening hour with spng and story. I had been interested in hearing of a sol dier, arrested for some offense, who had put an end to his life to escape his merited but dreaded punishment and whose ghost wa3 said often to haunt tho barracks and rattlo- a chain as ho passed back and forth in his rounds. One gloomy evening toward bed time my husband had to visit the sentinels, and I, being left alone, went to my bureau tp prepare for retiring. Opening the top drawer, I took out my brush and comb, put my hair into plaits for tho following day's adornment, humming a gay air in the lightness of my heart, when a curious noise and very near me made me start and listen. , My song turned to silence. Not a sound, Again I moved and began my preparations for tho night. A rum bling, rattling sound again met my ear and made my heart almost cease to beat in my terror, for this timo there could be no mistake as to tho noise and its nearness. Yet the in stant I stood still perfect silence. I feared to look around. No one was within call, and tho hour was late. So, trying to reason away my ter ror and believe the noise was out doors, I moved a few steps away. Louder, more prolonged, the rat tling seemed to follow mo as I rush ed for tho door, which, to my joy, at that moment opened, and I, fell into my husband's arms, almost fainting. ' :' ' ' "The chain the soldier drags!" I cried. "I have hear it in 'this room." "Nonsense," said my lord and master. "Yon have become alarmed at being alono and imagined your terrors." , But as I withdrew from his arms the same fearful sound, distinct and within the room, was heard by us both.' "Sit still, my dear, and let me fathom this mystery, " said my hus band, placing me in an easy chair. He looked puzzled and.no longer smiled at my fears. "Do not leave me, " I cried and Clung closely to his arm. "Only to search the room and dis pel your dread, " ho answered. So, tenderly displacing my hands,' he walked across to a divan and exam ined , underneath and behind its drapery. Nothing there and perfect quiet. He again crossed tho room to a large bookcase which stood in front of a closed door, and as he did. sov clear and continued, the weird, strange sound disturbed tlae silence of tho room. 'This is strange surely and must be -sifted to the bottom," continued my husband, now almost as excited as I was. "But I must free my foot of this string which has caught my ankle ere I look farther." Stooping down, , he unwound some thread from about his foot, the rumbling now rising, now ceasing, as ho did so and seeming to come from the direction of my bureau. So to it he hastened, the thread still in his hand, and opening the top drawer discovered what say you, my read ers? A spodl of thread, tho end of which had caught in my hand and unknowingly- braided in my hair. So every motion set the spool rolling in an almost empty drawer, and I had created my own ghost. Need less to say I also laid him, and after a gocfi laugh slept the sleep of the 'unhaunted.

Ho asked me what I was looking him over for. 'Well,' said I, I was thinking that if I were over 6 feet tall and as powerful a man as you I wouldn't hire's lawyer to help me get that money.' The man's excited - face smoothed out into blank astonishment. ' What do you mean?' he said. I answered: 1 mean just what I say. You are sure, are you, that he has that money in his office?'

It wasn't what any one would call an expert job, but if you had seen and heard the foreman of the gang of workmen you would have thought that he was moving a battleship. The propeller had been removed from the hull in the dock, and a now one was to bo put in its place. Planks had, been placed over the space between tho dock and tho Shore, and all that tho men had to do besides pulling was to bo careful that tho propeller shouldn't roll off into the water. .
