YOUNG Washington. August 22 Ostensibly the democratic majority of the house of representatives have passed investigating resolutions for the purpose of correcting what they claim to be evils in the government departments and in several of the large corporations of the United States.

In the first place he set a couple of traps In the melon patch, and in the next place he would lie awake that night and If he heard the least sound anywhere he would Jump out of bed, seize his old musket, and pursue the ras cals.

And the traps were not sprung, either! Mr. Edgerley was In a dreadful state of mind all day. but when night came he refused to go to bed. He waa going to sit up and watch his melons.

So he crouched In a corner of the lot behind some currant bushes and waited. About ten o'clock be beard a stealthy footstep. Raising himself on his elbow he looked around. There was no moon and the stars were faint In a hazy sky, but there was light enough to show him a tall, gauut figure, clad In white, loomed up before him.
