GHOSTS IN CORNlSl MINES
Old Legend Concerning knockers" Is
Firmly Believed In by the Work
ers Underground.

Some Of the Observation-Disclosures cases
of hauntings In England are those in
connection with tin and coal mlnesA
Many Of them come from Cornwall,
where there is a profound belief in
what are termed 'the Knockers" Ac-
cording to Charles Kingsley, "the
Knockers" are the ghosts VI the Jews
who crucifed II Lord, and who, as
a consequence of that crime. have been
compelled to remain earthbound ever
since. He explains the reason Of them
haunting Cornwall by saying they
were sent thither as slaves by the Ro-
man Emperors. who obtained most of
their tin from that country.
BE this as it may, ''the Knockers"
are still heard, and If anyone wants
proof they should pay a visit one night
to one Of the many dIsused shafts.
THE Knockers" do not eonfne them
selves 10 ancient mines. They are at
times in quite modern ones. There
is a story still current in Cornwall
to the effect that a man who bought
a house that had just been built in &
mining district was awakened one
night by the sound Of tramplng up
and down the stairs, as if by an army
Of men in heavy boots. He got up
several times to attempt TO discover
what 1t vas, but the moment he opened
the door and looked out all was quiet.
He made inquiries of one of the serv-
ants, who a a local girl. "Those
nolses?' she said. "Why, | heard
them too. They are the Knockers
and they came last night to tell us
there Is a new lode under this house
that waits to be worked"
What she said proved to be an act
ual fact. There was a new tin lode
beneath the building. and a very pro
ductive one.

all the difference In the world. But
he must never know what she had
done purposely.
The gate snapped and Marjorie
felt her hands grow icy cold and her
heart pound maddeningly. Would he
be able to see through the silly trick

for the girl who had thrown herself
at his feetl
Her dark eyes quivered with tears
and Dlckey, finding her at last with
her face pressed close to the honey
suckle hedge, took her in his arms
without a word.
Even as she felt his first kiss on
her lips and his voice husky with
feeling. Marjorie, | want you to come
with melr she felt wickedly unhappy,
That wretched letter would stand
between her and an easy conscience.
She would always know that she had
won him by a trick.
Yet she had promised brokenly to
marry him, and had known a moment
Of wild ecstacy when he had told her
Of the new life that awaited them in
the West before she made her way up
the stairs to bed.
On the stairs she brushed against
something that cracked, and, stoOp-
Ing, felt a crushed oblong, sticky with
melting mOlasses.
Before her own lamp she held II
up and saw with amazeInenl and a
sense Of relief that it was the un-
stamped letter bearing the name, Mr..
Richard Stevens.
"Tommy forgot to mail IT," she
breathed, and, kneeling down with
the letter clasped in her hands, she
smiled happily through her open win
dow INFO the moonlight.

seen her silly trick to win his love
The future, iridescent as a dream,
stretched before her a rosy, beckoning
way.
