The room we had entered must have once
been the kitchen, but as we moved from one
room to another, it was hard to tell much OF
anything about the place. The boarded win
dows permitted very little light to enter, and
things were in such state of decay that only
the high ceilings and elaborate woodwork told
us Of what grand home this had once been.
Closely grouped because it made us feel
safer and walking on tip-toe we moved about
the lower floor. Once the scurrying of rat
in the next room brought us up quaking and
cfutching each other, but the laugh we got
out Of that lessened the tension somewhat
mo signs Of ghosts here said as we
came to the bottom of broad curving stair
way. Shall we try the next ioor?"
We started up the stairs. I almost fell as I
graSped the banister, for it was loose all the
way up. Warning the others, climbed higher.
You could see better on the second floor, for
the windows here were not boarded up Every
where the dust lay thick, and soon our foot
prints were all about. Cobwebs hung from the
corners o. the ceiling and doors sagged on
their hinges, but our search of the second floor
was as fruitless as had been that of the floor
below.
And now for the top" said, taking deep
breath. I remembered that it had been in a
third-1oor window that I had seen the light.
THE stairway to the third floor was narrower
] and darker. Slowly we crept upward, ex-
pecting almost anything, literally trembling in
our shoes.
There were several large rooms on this floor
and at once led the way to the trent of the
house. 1t was easy to locate the very window
through which had seen the light. Warning
the others to walk carefully, for some of the
boards of the floor were loose, carefully ex-
an1ined the room. The floor was Uttered with
trash, as though it had once been a store room.
But found absolutely nothing to explain the
light.
We searched the rest of the floor. Nothing.
Gradually we began to lose our fears, and
few minutes later we were dashing back down
the stairs and out of the house, laughing at
ghosts and haunted attics and skylarking over
the whole affair
The crowd waiting below greeted us with
yells and their disappointment was quite evil
dent when we told them that our search had
been without result. But Lorna, my sister, who
was always to be found where any excitement
existed, brought us up short
What did you expect to f1nd?" she de-
manded. IF the place is really haunted you
would not expect the ghosts to be around in
broad daylight would you?"

Ignite coal deposits of more than 200,-
600, 900 tons, situated at Coral Rapids
in Northern Ontario, on the Onaka-
wanna River, $50 miles north of Coch-

undergoing tests indicating possible re-
sources of inestimable value to Canada.
PulveriZation and carboniZation tests
now proceeding on two carloads of the
Ignite at the fuel-testing laboratory of
the department of mines show that the
deposits have great potential value. Elk
pertS are cautious in their evaluation,
pointing to the high water content of
the deposits, Notwithstanding the coal
is not hard to mine and is disable in
pulverized form.
It is understood that samples of
the fuel will be sent to Germany for
complete carbonization tests While it
has no coke value, some new expert
ments and new machinery, may correct
this, it is believed.
This fuel is described as a great as
set, lying as it does in the supposedly

James Bay, Canada's nearest coal

Evelyn Laye, famous light opera star
Of the English stage, here makes her

IT Is said, Mr.. Goldwyn has had an
ardent desire to present Miss L/aye in a
vehicle worthy of her loneliness, charm,
rich voice, and her art as an outstand-

sound pictures there was no such pos

scored a tremendous success on the
