Ghosts What As 7hey?-IuAuenng Tales Speurs

In view of the terrible hap
peningS in this room, it is
hardly surprising that legends
of ghostly happenings have
grown up around it. 1t is said
that on the anniversary of
that night in June, 1908, the
scene of death is re-enacted
and that the screams of the
unhappy queen and the oaths
of the assassins can be heard
again. Servants who have
left the royal employ assert
that they have heard the
ghostly sounds. One has re-
lated how, crossing the
courtyard, he heard a scream.
He looked up and saw win
dow open in the sealed room,
= and the king hanging by his
hands until he dropped with
an agonizing shrek into the
court.
Most royal houses are cred
tied with the possession Of a
"banShee," or death warning,
and of those which haunt the
palace as foretellerS of death
or disaster few are more in
teresting than "the White
Lady of the HohenzollernS."
According to the stories, the
White Lady made her ap-
pearance to Germanys ruling
house on several occasions,
and is said to have appeared
at Potsdam on that fatal eve
in August, 1914, when a
Hohenzollern gave orders that
were to end in his own down.
fall.
More than 300 years ago, in
1923, the White Lady was met
by a minor princess on a ter
race outside the Castle of
Neuhaus, in Bohemia. Being
possessed of considerable
courage, the princess ap-
preached the specter, and
found her to be a beautiful
young woman, dressed in the
clothes of a bygone age, but
with eyes that were red with
weeping. As the princess came
closer the White Lady glided
to the end of the terrace,

It gave her a very deso- late. grey. hopeless feeling. It made her feel, quite illogically, that Jim was drowned. The Alice Arden had sailed on the eighth of August and had gone to bits on the Elston rocks.
 That was very frightening thing to hear. It seemed to make it cer- tain that Jim had sailed on the Alice Arden. A cold shiver passed over Caroline. She put the letters together again with hands that moved a little stiffly. When she went over to put them away. the room felt very cold.
 She drew a sobbfng breath as she shut the drawer. It felt as if she were shutting Jim away. The tears began to run down her face, and all at once she couldn't bear the light any more. It is only happy people who want to stand in the light. Car oline pushed down the switch, and was glad of the dark.
 She cried bitterly, crouching down by the bed and pressing her face into the pillow lest Patsy Ann should hear. Patsy had come upstairs and was moving about in the room across the tiny landing. Caroline cried all her tears away. She had held them in for long time; now they were all gone, and she felt rather like ghost weak and light and insubstantial.
 She went to the window and open, ed it. ,
 Something in Caroline's mind said quickly, "It's no good crying over spilled milk" She thought that was very odd.
 She leaned out farther. A faint damp breath moved the trees across the road. Over the edge of the sf- lence came the sound of footsteps coming nearer.

 Caroline passed quickly over the time when they waited for his an swer. He would come-of course he would come. They would go for tremendously long walks, and tell each other all the things that you couldn't put into letters.
 If he got Aunt Grace's letter on Wednesday morning he might catch the night train and come right through. Caroline had gone about in queer warm dream of happiness which it hurt her to think about now.
 Because Jim hadn't come. He hadn't written for three days, and then it was just a few lines to Grace Ogilvie. He thanked her very much. and he hoped perhaps he might be able to get up later on, but just at the moment he was afraid he could mt spare the time. He didn't write to Caroline at all, not until the begin ming of August, and then it wasn't what you could call letter; just half dozen lines, all scrawled in hurry.

BATON ROUGE, La, Oct. 10,-- Louisiana State University has never produced an All-America football player, but already the fans and sport writers are push ing Jack Terrence as candi- date.
 The giant tackle last summer won the shot put in both the na- tional intercollegiate and national A. A. U. track meets and twice bettered records in this event.

 There was lot more about the Van Bergs. Susie Van Berg was awfully pretty. and awfully kind They were great,friends.
 In March he wrote that the Van Bergs were coming to England for the summer--"'Susie wants to go to Court in as many of old Peter Van Berg's jewels as possible"
 A TIER that there was nothing for a couple of months. Then he wrote again, still from New York. The Van Bergs were in England. He was half thinking of coming over after them. Susie thought it might be worth his while-she thought Elmer was working up for a change of hobbies. They had taken Pack ham Hall for the summer-"You might go over and call as it's so near"
 Caroline had gone over to call with Patsy Ann; but it was June, and the Van Bergs were taking their London season very seriously and only coming down for week ends. Caroline and Patsy had been asked to lunch on Sunday-and of course it had to be just that one particular Sunday which Robert Arbuthnot had already comman. deered. He was a distant cousin of Patsy's. still more distant cousin of Caroline's, and trustee to both of them. He was an able lawyer and binding bore.
 Caroline maintained that he only came to see them when he had some thing unpleasant to impart with re- gard to their investments. On this occasion he left Patsy the poorer by about twenty pounds a year, and made 1t impossible for Caroline to meet the Van Bergs.
 In July Caroline went north to visit her fathers sister, who kept open house every year in the High

 She had always signed like that | to Jim from the time that she wrote him her very first letter when she was seven years old and he had sent her a doll for her birthday. It had real hair. and brown eyes that open ed and shut. Jim was sixteen.
 He wrote again in February. He was very hopeful about an invention of his. He couldn't tell her about it, because it was all extremely con l fidential. Elmer Van Berg might back it. If he did. the thing was made.
 He wrote at length about Elmer Van Berg, for whom he seemed to have a, high admiration = "The bother is, he's interested in too manyf things. He takes turns at them.

himself in Just being natural but
to me that is the best kind of

manner.
