candles, the bOldeSt of them pushed in and there
stood horror stricken before the sight that met their
eyes Seated before small table upon which there
was an ancient tea pot, with prayer book still in
his bony fingers, was the skeleton Of a man. At
a slight jar 1t cattered to the floor pile OF yellow
bones. In the cup there were a few leaves OF tea

Even IN Our own country secret paSSage Is now

Boston, Massachusetts, which led from the water
front back toward Copps Hill. No one ever had
the courage to investigate it but once. Then two
young men accompanied by their dog ventured in
hundred feet. But their candle was snufIed
out and they retreated. As they hurried out the,
called their dog with them. 1t refused to come,
but stood with bristng back, snaring into the dark
finally running straight into the tunnel and that
was the last heard from it. Later the tun-
mel closed but before that the weird history OF
its maker brought to light. His name was
GruChy-bold, inscrutable, and with his pockets
full of Spanish dOuboOns.

Captain Jones's Escape

MANY the exciting stories related of the de-
A~A feated Royasts and their adventures after the
Worcester fight. These secret chambers saved the
lives of many of them well of Bonnie Prince
Charlie. There is old Jacobean mansion of
Chasteton which still preserves the sword of Cap
tain Arthur Jones and the secret room which saved
his life. The room is located in the front of the
building and is behind a solid oak paneling which
opens at the touch of a spring in one corner. 1t
to this place that the gallant Captain speeded
with a whole crew of CromwellS soldiers at his
heels He galoped to the door where his lady
waiting for him, and hid himself behind the walls.
In few minutes up rode the EOundheadS and
ordered a search of the house to be made. But the
men not satisfied, and resolved to spend the
night there. Mady prepared for them ample
repast. She went down into the Wine cellar and
brought up a good of wine. which, however,
into stupOr. 1t was then that Mrs. Arthur Jones
showed of what stuff she made for, raising her
dainty skirts, she picked her way over the bodies
of the sleeping ROundheads released her husband,
and, fresh horse being in readiness, bade him
God speed and then hurried to the house of
neighbOr.
For long there stood an old house at Hinton
Ampner, Hampshire, which rivaed in the super
natural even the house which plays SO important
part in Woodstock. About the middle of the eigh-
teenth century the house passed OF the hands of
its old possessors the Stekeys and shortly afterward
became notorious. The new tenants disturbed
in their sleep by all sorts of unaccOuntable noises.
Not only were there violent knocks and hammerings,

Boston's Man of Mystery

THE little that is known of him even now is that
day he appeared in Boston He seemed to
have no particular business; he finally set up q
store as merchant, and offered many strange
and valuable things for sale at an extremely low
rate. And where they came from was nObOdy'5
business. Gruchy had a way Of leaning against his
counter and one hand aknbo his hip and within
easy reach of his old horse pistol, of looking at a
who questioned him as to where he secured
his goods that was quick bar TO such free and
easy questions. He prOsPered to such an extent
that he bought the famous house owned by
Sir William Phips, and soon after constructed a
wharf which rested the hu1ks of two sunken
ships lying at right angles the shore But there
was one odd thing about this wharf-nO vessels We're
