There was his black-eyed wife, as proud as tin; oldest, of the Aldens, and his tall young daughter t'hristabel, and the two eldldren who made the hails echo with laughter. Then tlisre was, t|ie golden-haired I,ally Maud, cousin to Sir Kalph. who was as gentle and kind, as the I.ady Christabel was proud and ' coiil. They hail come from England, and were free from the fancies and superstititions of tlie Scots. lint the children never wearied of tlie | tales the servants told of murders in tlie ' lijen. and the strange, uncanny sights anil Soi/nds seen and heard by them ill wee, sma" hours. Especially did they j love the story of the last laird, of tlje | castle, and his beautiful sister Clara, ; whose lives went out in mystery and j bloodshed; and on winter evenings tlioy would gather around a big log tire while old Aunt Margery would tell the story of Sir Percy Alden and how the; ghost of tlie Lady Clara haunted tile castle to this day.

Then tlisre was, t ie golden-haired I,ally Maud, cousin to Sir Kalph. who was as gentle and kind, as the I.ady Christabel was proud and ' coiil.
