But Sundy lllacGregor, who just had arrived at Cape Wolfe from Scotland, laughed at the stories told him about the place being haunted. So he repairedthe bulld- ing and brought his wife and two children to occupy it the following spring.

The MacGregors had been living in their new home scarcely one month ivhcn tragedy descended upon their heads.

Their two children, botii girls, aged eight and ten respectively, had been playing about the house, awaiting the urrivui of their fuili- er and mother, who had gone some distance to visit a sick friend.

Neighbors told Sandy liIacGregor that if he were a wise man he would leave the uccursed house and follow his wife; but MacGregor swore that. no ghost of an old swearing buccaneer was big enough to scare him away from his home. Besides. he still considered the stories pure myths. After this. people took a dislike to Sandy and seldom bothered to visit his shack. If he chose to live in the House of DEEltl1—-\\'El], that was his business; but for them- selves they entertained such a hor- ror of the place none of them cared to go near it. But when the Christmas season rolled around. and scattered settlers began to make plans for the Holy Day and share with one another the spirit of brotherly love, Sandy Muc- Gregofis name was on everybody's lips. They wondered among them- selves as to which of them hail seen him last. It had been quite u while, they agreed. And it was the Christmas season. So they decided that Sandy be invited to the com- munity dlnner which was a custom long curried out in sparsely settled districts like Capo Wolfe.

ANSWER: For Heaven's sake ,don't. Don‘t do it if you value your own happiness. or the mans happiness, or the happiness of the four children. A school girl of 1T is too young to marry anybody. She is too young to have anything but ii passing fancy for any man, or to know what she wants in a husband when she is grown up. She hasn't had any girlhood and she isn't ready to settle down.

At l‘! no girl is fitted to bc a stepmother. She is u child herself and she is sure to quarrel with her stepchildren, and that means misery all the way round. There is no harder job on earth than to have to take care of some other woman's children.

Don't marry until you are gruu/n. and thcn marry a nice young chap who will not present you with a readymndc family.
