Tho country north Of Anderson, Ind,
has am up-to-date, twentieth century
ghost. The people in the vicinity Of
Florida, q small town, are In state Of
excitement, the result Of the appear.
ance OF the apparition and Its unheard-
Of actions.
McClelland Beagle, gas line inspec-
tor, was the first to encounter the ghost.
He was riding along deserted road
when his horse suddenly SHE'D and
stopped. He looked before him, aud
his blood froze in his veins. There in
the center of the roadway was white
figure strolling along in front Of the
horse in an unconcerned manner. The
form was that Of woman. She did not
seem to have any concern for the chilly
atmosphere. Beagle whipped up his
horse and made dash at her, but tho
faster his horse went the swifter tho
apparition moved on in front. She took
down her hair. leisurely, and let it fall
down over her white robes. At last
she turned into a barn belonging to An
drew Scott and disappeared.
The next night Beagle induced John
Haggarty to accompany him. AS they
neared the strip Of wood tho white fig
ure again appeared, singing this time a
German lullaby. She strolled along
ahead of them and again took down her
hair. They tried to run her down.
She suddenly stopped, and the next
second the buggy passed over the spot
but she was not there. A few seconds
later they saw white form appear in
the center Of the road. The lullaby was
again heard. She glided on ahead Of
them and, coming to the end Of the strip
ct wood. turned in and went up to tho
barn again and disappeared.
The next night party of 60 people
went on an investigating tour. George
Brown and Andy Montgomery headed
the party. They encountered the ap-
partition ut the end of the wood, and she
glided on before them, carefully taking
down her hair. When it was done she
proceeded to give them q few pointers
on what real, up-to-date, twentieth
century ghost could do. Calmly she
took her head from her shoulders and
tossed it into the air. 1t sailed along
overhead and at length quietly returned
to her shoulders She then took her
head by the hair and as though throw
ing sling-shot she sent it sailing along
in front of her. 1t came to no harm, and
finally returned to her and she adjusted
ii on her shoulders.
Finally she took her head off and
tucked it under her arm. She seemed
in very pleasant mood as hestrolled
along headless, and when she reached
the end of the woods she again set it on
her shoulders, carefully did up the long
black tresses and, as happy as a lark,
began singing one of her German songs.
strolled up to the barn and disappeared.
A few miles from this spot q great deal
of excitement was occasiored few
months ago by nightly tragedy near
IN old gas we'll. A giant would come
out, and, strolling down theroad would
meet beautiful young woman spirit,
and taking her in his arms would draw
long knife and plunge it into her

CHAPTER ~,

Smithville, u town of several hundred
Inhabitants, is located on the Cape Feal
river near it's mouth, and scarcely moro
than three miles from the open sea, and
here dwelt many pilots and fishermen
The pilots gained livelihood by the
hazardous business of taking trips daily
in their open pilot boats. out the inlet
and often Il half-dozen miles to sea, fol-
the purpose of meeting incoming YES,
sels,and plotting them through the inlet
to Smithvillc harbor, and often up to
Wilmington.
The life was very hazardous, and
many pilots annually had their frail
boats swamped by The angry waves and
lost their lives, yes, and do up TO this
day.
Among these pilots n few years before
had been one Donald Bruce, a Scotch
man of middle life, and as bold, expert
and fearless n mariner as ever piloted q
craft through the inlet.
His daring aud recklessness cost him
his life, for, venturing out three years
tefore in a rough sea, Mt n time wien an
English bark had fired signal of dis
tress, he and three others who accom-
panied him to help him through the
inlet as the tide was running in were
swamped and drowned, and their dead
bodies probably eaten by sharks, OF
they would have drifted in, as did their
upturned and steven boat.
Three of the men were single, but
I'onald Bruce had left behind wife, a
son and daughter.
The wife would hnve lost the son the
same day she did the husband but for
the fact that she threw both arms about
his neck and detained him.
"Nay, Angus, thou shalt not go, son,
and if Donald Bruce wud list to me, he
wud go, neither-thc sen is angry, 1 will
warrant me, and one life is enough fol-
Marget Bruce to trust to it this day"
"Stay hame, Angus, stay hame, and
mind thy mither, lad-for summat tells
me there be mighty swell, and Id have
thee by the dame"
So that Angus had remained behind
and we'll he did, for the wife and daugh
ter of Donald Bruce-aye, and for the
lad himself.
Margaret Bruce was awomanof some
20 years of age when she lost her hus
band. He hal married her some 2:
years before in bonnie Scotland, and
removed to North Carolina shortly

Angus, the son, was now % years o
age, tall, straight as an arrow, and die

pert pilot and u thorough seaman, hi:

Jennie Bruce, his sister, was six years

as one would wish to see.
Now after the fathers death Mar
