Beqinninq of the Legend.

Summoning his men around him
this fanatical supporter of the weak
king closed his doors. There was a
little battle, the armed men of Crom-
well triumphed, the greater part of
the old castle was destroyed by fire.
and within the ivy covered stone
walls there was short, fierce strug-
gle. The Groenth was made captive,
and his men were killed.
What happened after the capture
no one ever told. The farmers whisp-
cred awful tales of torture. of a
night of horror, and the next day
when they dared approach and the
soldiers had ridden on the Groenth

lands were sacrificed to the common
wealth, and after the restoration re

the Pearne family, to which it still

Ing on to the hallway on the second
floor. The following night he moved
out into the hallway itself, and the
evening after that he placed his
blankets against the wall on the
north side of the hallway, directly
under a large grated window look
ing out upon the old gate.
After that night he went to the
inn and remained there four days,
saying nothing about his plans or
his discoveries. He was the object
of interest of the entire neighbor-
hood. and he was regarded with awe
because he had slept four nights in
the haunted house and shown no
fear or trace Of it.
After he had remained at the inn
for eight days he stepped out of the
taproom one morning and his face
frightened. He sent a note to the
Hon. Mr.. Pearne, in which he said:
Unless the wind shifts during
the day, meet me at the lodge at 9
o'clock tonight and we viii lay the
ghost"
The wind held steady from nor
nor east all day. and at 9 o'clock the
men met at the lodge and entered,
Cope leading the way TO the hall

ond floor. Together the men stood
in the darkness.

Within a few minutes there arose
the wall of a lost soul-a sobbing. a
deep groan, then the scrape of
shackles over a stone floor, a rattle
OF chains-and silence.
The Hon. Mr.. Pearne clutched the
arm of the American in the dark
ness and said. Listen"

scratched a match end lighted a
cigar.
Pearne jumped when the match
scratched. and Cope laughed.

Again the wall, again the sob. the
cry. the scraping of the shackles, and
the rattle of chains silence.
Pearne shuddered.

Cope.
He flashed on the electric lantern,
and, stepping to the window, threw

the sensational suit which resulted
from the bold action. and the pros
pect of a still more sensational trial
have caused much comment through
the middle counties, especially at
Derby, and hundreds of British
tradesmen and public housekeepers
are excoriating the American for
what they term his unwarranted in
reference with the traditions of the
county.
The ghost of EIchurch lodge had
been for over $50 years one of the
most famous of all the ghosts of
England. Elchurch lodge in that
time was the property of the
Groenths, one of the Oldest families
in the kingdom. They were strong
supporters of Charles, and renowned
throughout that country as royalists.
When the king was crushed at Nase-

is still tight moves the top stone,
and that in turn snakes that short
chain that hangs four feet away

used to hang.
Its simple enough-watch it.
Just then another gust of wind
from the north struck the building,
the groan, the half sob. half Shrek

moved. the tight bar seraped at the

laughed aloud.

When the Ghost Was ReUiUed.

Claycross and Stratton, the two
nearest villages, grew into busy
towns, and the haunted lodge and its
chain clanking, groaning tortured
ghost, became one of the fixtures.
Parties of young people rode out in
the evenings TO visit the lodge and
feel delicious thrills while straining
their ears to hear mysterious noises.
Daring men from many places boast
ed that they would sleep overnight
in the ruins, and carried out their
boasts. Once the owner shut up the
lodge for ten years, being annoyed
by trespassers. but the next genera
ton threw it open again and made a
road leading to it from the highway.
so the grounds around it became al
most public property and a favorite
picnicking point.

as can be ascertained, interest fn the

followed by doleful groans and sobs.
Their story raised a great laugh. but
within d fortnight a daring youth
from Ambergate, who spent the
night in the house, was found fleeing
half demented from fright, across
the fields. He told the same story.
Person after person heard the
strange noises. Sometimes not
sound would be heard for weeks.
then suddenly some one walking
through the deserted rooms would
hear a vail OF anguish, the sound
as of iron clanking against iron. a
sob like the dying breath of some
mortally wounded man, and then the
party would flee 10 the open air and

The ghost at once sprang into re-
newed fame. Spiritualists and 9TH
ers all over England at last thought
a bona fide ghost had been found,
and sent parties to investigate. The
owner Of the estate, himself a skep-
teal young man, laughed at all the
hubbub. and enjoyed his fame as
owner Of the haunted lodge. Skep-
tics made a score of efforts to expose

no explanation was found, and many

Meantime, Martin Upton, who

The mystery deepened, and the
fame of the ghost grew greater year
by year-and Upton's receipts in

this year. when Colonel Cope went
10 England to spend the summer
Cope made his money in cotton and
cotton threads. HE had as little be

years of hard work and worry. He
heard of the ghost of Elchurch lodge
at a club in London, where he was
the guest of a Derbyshire manufac-
turer. and Immediately he offered to
bet anything from a bottle of cham
pagne to $4,000 that he could lay
the ghost inside of fortnight His
English acquaintance took the bet,

told of the sounds heard in the

terror at the tales that were told,
and ran past the ivy covered ruins
even in daylight.
The new owners built their fine
home nearly two miles from the old

nearly three centuries, the owners
