FEBRUARY 9, 1917. airtight served to increase the tem- sion to which my nerves had been stretched by preceding events and propped' my eyelids open so that slumber' was impossible. After 8itisfying myself that the terrifying figure no longer was near me I sat up in bed and tried to pierce the gloomy depths of the room, but only a vague outline of the various ed. The,starlight which filtered through fe glass section of the ceil- ing was too faint to reveal what was in the darkened recesses of the chamber, 1 listened intently but could not hear a sound save the thumping of my own frightened heart. There could be no doubt that it there really had been a man in {he room--a real, living, breathing human being-- he had disappeared as quickly and as silently & he had come, I crept noiselessly from the bed with the intention of turning on the Tlights. But where was the switch I paused suddenly at the edge of the bed as this new problem presented Itself. I had seen no light during the day except the lamp on the table, and 1 had not taken the trouble to bulb or a gas burner. I remembered also that the light was out when 1 awakened after my first nap in the big arm chair. Some one, therefore, either had entered the room and turned ont the light or it had been extinguished by means of a switch outside the apartment, After a moment's hesitation I erept to the table and examined the lamp. It was supplied with an elec- tric bulb, but the socket was smooth, and it was apparent that the light was turned on and off by means of 'a switch. Was the switch within the room or putsidé of it? The mystery which 'seemed to surround every piece of furniture in the chamber convinced me that even it would be 'L'concealed, as was the case with the electric push button, and I knew articles of furniture could be detect-| ascertain whether it had an electric | {When I found my mind wandering back to the confines of my room, 1 | gripped myself with renewed deter- mination, reciting all the passages {of poetry or prose which I knew, bumming songs which came to my | mind and resorting 'to various other ' expedients to prevent my thoughts {from dwelling upon the terrors of my present predicament, And I shall never forget the feel- {ing of relief which came over me | when, glancing toward the ceiling | after what seemed. an interminable | time, I saw that day was breaking. And as the gray light above me grew gradually brighter and cleare., 1 felt a. sort of contentment come into my heart, and I snuggled deeper into the bed clothes and yielded myself up to weakness and exhaustion. It must have, been noon when I awoke. 1 was alone in the room, but Some one had been there, for | the breakfast table was laid and I could tell from the steaming coffee pot that the food was still warm. As my eyes wandered from the table to other parts of the room. 1 no- ticed something which had not been visible the day before, This was a door leading off from near the head of the bed. Inspection showed that it was a bathroom, beautifully tiled and equipped with the cleanest "of linen! I stood at the door and gazed at it with the utmost astonishment. There had been no door in my room the day- before, yet here was ome now! Furthermore it led into as ex- quisite a bathroom as could have beep found in any private residence. How had the door been ~ concealed and what was the purpose of the concealment? An inspection of the walls of the bathroom showed that it was a hermetically tight as was the room itself; that it was part of my prison, but it was such a welcome part just at that juncture that I locked myself within the place and was soon splashing juxuriously in a great tub of deliciously warm water.

Rub- ber, 'drugs, carbolic acid, felt, cot- ton, glycerine, gum arabic, and metals of various sorts enter into the mess--all this outside the white paper, ink, the paste, and the wrap-| pers, Some increases in the price of these ingredients may serve to con- vey an idea of the increased cost of newspaper production during the past two years. The increase in the cost of white paper is 53 per cent. The Government is attempting to have this reduced, but the present price guoted by newsprint mills re- presents -that much {increase over 1914 figures, Postage has gone up 33 per ceat., carbolic acid 700 per cent., gum arabic 90 per cent. ink 20 per cent., press felts 69 per cent, metal 70 per cent, wrappers 91 per cent., wipers 67 per cent. Can any other line of business show increases in all its producing material to match these increases in the making of a newspaper? We do not think so. In addition wages and office expenses have gone up proportipnately. Wa- ges have increased over 31 per cent. since December, 1914, while office] expenses have increased 35 per cent.
