COURT NOTES.
The Strange Mystery of the Haunt
ed Room" Revealed to Lord Clamls.

Lord CLAIMS, son of the Earl and
Countess of Strathmore, came of age
September %, and the secret of the
Haunted Room was communicated
to him by his father. This has been
an invariable practice on such occa-
sions from time immemorial. What
secret the Haunted Room" contains is
supposed to be passed on to every
heir as he attains his majority. Thus
its precise nature is in the possession
OF never more than two persons at the
same time. Conjecture and traditions
say, however, that in the long ago,
when the LindSays and Ogilvies were
at feud a number of the latter clan
were imprisoned and died in that par
ticular chamber. That the room has
some uncanny peculiarities appears to
be beyond doubt, for the late Lord
Strathmore had it walled up after WIS.,
iting the apartment one night to de-
termine the origin of certain weird
noises which, it is said, had for q long
time disturbed and puzzled him. THE
Earl opened the door with a key"
wrote correspondent to DR.. Lee,
"and dropped back in dead swoon
into the arms Of his companions; nor
could he ever be induced to open his
lips on the subject afterward." The
experiences Of lady visitor at the cas-
tie are quoted in the book, Haunted

MRS. ARTHUR PAGET.

Homes and Family Legends" "sud-
denly" so the story runs, IA cold blast
stole into the lady's room, extlnguish-
ing the light by her bedside. She saw
tall, mailed figure pass into the
dressing-room. Immediately there
after there was shrek from her child
in an adjoining room. Her maternal
instinct was aroused. She rushed into
the dressing-room and found the
child in an agony Of fear. 1t described
what it had seen as "a giant" who
came and leaned over its face"
The operation Mrs Arthur Paget I'M
derwent recently at the hands of Sir
Alfred Fripp was a very delicate and
wonderful one, though thoroughly sue
cessful. More than a year ago Mrs.
Paget fell down an elevator shaft and
fractured her thigh. The bone failed
to mend and in spite of an operation
and special course Of treatment I'M
der Prof. Haffa, the great Berlin spe-
ist, Sir Alfred Fripp took photograph
of the injured bones by means of the
Roentgen rays, which showed that the
fracture was as bad as ever. 1t was
necessary to make an incision so that
the fractured bones could be reached.
These were screwed together with
ivory, and 1t is confidently believed
that in a few months time they will
knit and become strong enough to bear
the weight of the body. In spite of
the agony extending over thirteen
months which Mrs. Paget has endured,
she is able to drive out every day in an
open carriage. Mrs. Paget recently
visited the new ward at Charing Cross
Hospital, built from the proceeds of a
great charity bazaar she organized,
and called the Minnie Paget ward. 1t
contained many fracture cases land
Mrs. Paget cheered the sufferers great
| ly by her hopeful conversation, which
| was appreciated even more than the
gifts of fruit and flowers she bore
to each patient.
