WORKMEN UNEARTH THREE SKELETONS m Bodies Found Near Site of Notorious Resort. By Times Special MARION, Ind., May 10.—Police and county officials today made preparations to thoroughly dig up the gravel bank half mile south of here where workmen excavating for a gravel pit have unearthed three skeletons. Two additional bodies were discovered Friday. The first was found Monday. They had been buried hurriedly and condition of the bones indicated that they had been underground for at least twenty years. A deep crack in the skull of one of the skeletons led officials to believe that death resulted from a blow on the head. The bodies were found near the site of the “Dark Secret,” a notorious resort for criminals in past years. It is believed the bodies might be those of inmates of the National Old Soldiers’ Home nearby, who frequently visited the resort.
AUTO LICENSE IN • INDIANA IS LOW Fee Cheaper in Arizona and South Dakota, Earl Crawford, member of the State highway commission, today declared Indiana’s auto license fee was, -with the exception of Arizona and South Dakota, the lowest in the United States. “As for these two States.” Crawford said, “they have no roads and what few persons own autos pay more ior repair on the machines than an Indiana car owner ever pays for road improvements. Also, the pleasure and comfort of riding on good roads is lost. “The Indiana plan of financing is sound, for no bonded indebtedness is possible. Illinois floated a $60,000,000 bond issue last year to build roads and votes on a $100,000,000 bond issue the coming November. “That State seeks a minimum of $12,000,000 a year for maintenance alone, whereas Indiana spent only a little over $9,000,000 last year for construction, maintenance, bridges, etc.”

BUG IN HKKK TODAY The marriage o£ Dully anti Nigel Bretherton proves unhappy When war ts declared, Nigel is iSpU to enlist. He laeves Dolly in tIA rare of Mary Furnival. Nigel is KWled and Du ly marries an old sweetheart. Robert Durham. Dolly and Robert sail for Ameriea and word comes of the sinking of their ship. When Nigel's brother, David, calls to see Nigel s widow. Mary Is ashamed to tell him of Dolly's marriage. , David mistakes Mary for his brother's wife and asks her to come to live at Red Grange with him and his aunt. Mary is very happy in ier new home. David asks Mary if she believes in ghosts. He tells her Red Grange is haunted. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY SHE gong boomed through the house. David rushed off to “tidy.” as he laughingly said. He had given up dressing for dinner since Mary came, for Miss Varney had been quite right when she , said she was sure the girl had not an evening frock, and something in Mary’s manner, some little reserve and pride, had kept her as yet from offering any such presents. “There is plenty of time,” she told David gently, when he urged her to see that Mary got all she wanted. “We don’t want to frighten her, David, and I think she would resent any such overtures just at present.” But, to David’s masculine icnorance, no woman had ever looked half so charming as Alary when he watched her across the dinner table. The old room, with its oak-paneled walls and hanging armour, made a perfect background for her slight figure and dainty head; the light of the red shaded lamps lent the touch of color to her pale cheeks that made her almost beautiful. He did not realize' how often his eyes turned to her. . When Afary and All vs Varney rose from the table, joined them immediately. , “I’m not. going to sit and '.moke in state tonight.” he said, hall sljarnefacedly, meeting his aunt’s surprised gaze. ■ l want to take Mar ' over the house before the moonlight has gone.

positively ill tomorrow. No, you can do the honors yourself; you're more closely related to the family glost than I am.” She dismissed them laughingly. Mary followed David upstairs. She did not know if she were glad or sorry that Miss Varney had refused to accompany them; she looked at David, walking a little in front of her, and then back down the long stairs behind them. “AND THIS IS WHERE THE GHOST WALKS?” SHE ASKED. Should she go on? She wondered what it v as that made her hesitate, What it was that momentarily stayed her steps. “Don’t you want to come with me? I believe you are afraid.” He spoke jokingly, but there was a curious note in his voice. Alary laughed. “Os course I am not afraid.” She ran up the few stairs dividirg them, and joined him. CHAPTER XXXVI The Ghost “I am thinking of giving up part of the house to wounded soldiers.” David said presently. “Alore than

half of it is always shut up, and the authorities have been asking for additionaj convalescent homes and hospitals; these rooms would do splendidly for wards.” “Yes.” Mary's voice sounded wistful; her thoughts had flown to Nigel, the son of this great house, who had given his life for England. He would never come hero any more; the beautiful rooms would never again echo to the sound of his cheery laugh or voice. She stifled a sigh. David looked down at her quickly. “What are you thinking?” She answered him quite simply: “I was thinking of Nigel.” He was silent for a moment. "You are always thinking of him,” he said. “No, not always." They had reached }he wide landing now. and David turned to the right and pushed open a heavy, nail-studded door. \ “This is the passage to the old part of the house,” he said. He held it back for her to pass; she notticed that it fell again into its place with hardly a sound. A long, unlit passage lay ahead of them; it was dark, save for the moonlight streaming through the high mullioned windows. There was something eerie in its great beauty; she drew nearer to David. “I was right about the moonlight, you see,” he said. They stood for a moment, looking out at the garden; it looked aimost like fairyland, Mary thought, and it filled her with a sense of awe, almost of fear. She would have liked to put her hand into David’s, very much as a child in the dark gropes' for its mother’s hand. “And is this where the grost walks?” she asked presently. He shook his head. “No —much further along.” He looked down at her. “Are you afraid?” he asked. “Os course not!” There was indignation in her voice. They went on to the end of the passage: there was another door there, much wider than the first. “Has Miss Fisher ever been here?” asked Mary suddenly. A quick fi-own crossed David’s face. “I really do not know. Why do you ask?” “I was thinking how all this lovely oak and paneling and polished floors would suit her. She is' so beautiful — like some princess in a fairy sto-y.” •‘Y r ou are very kind.” His voice was rather dry. “I thought women never admired one another.” “That is only a man’s idea,” she told him with dignity.

David laughed. He pushed open the second door, but barred her way with his arm, when she would have passed him. “You have to wish when your feet touch new ground,” he said. "Shut your eyes, <> wish for the thing you want most in all the world.” CHAPTER XXXVII For Happiness Mary obeyed unquestionably: she shut her eyes tightly and wondered what she ought to wish. For love? But that had already passed her by! For riches? It was so unlikel} that she would ever Jiave them! For what, then, could she wish? Happiness? It almost seemed as if someone put the thought into her head as she stood there by David Bretherton’s side, with the moonlight barring the polished floor at their feet. She gave a iittle sigh. “I wish for happiness, she said. Bretherton laughed. “You ought not to have told me; you must never speak your wish to anybody.” He pushed open the door, and then entered. There was a faint, dusty smell of disused rooms; a sort of chilly daintiness made Mary shiver as she followed David into the darkness. They had entered a sort of wide corridor, at one end of which the tall, painted pipes of an organ rose to the very ceiling. “This used to be the old musicgallery,” Bretherton said; “and it is chiefly here, too, that the ghost lady Is supposed to walk.” “Oh!” said Mary softly. She looked round her with wide eyes. There something depressing to her in the darkness and silence; she began to think of the men and women—dead long since who had walked the oaken floors and made the old p 1 ace echo with the sound of their voices. It seemed strange that none of them would over come there again; strang, too, to tl ink that some day she and David would be dead, even as they, and others would be taking their place in the world, and perhaps standing where they stood now. She fancied that she could even see a phantom figure In the organ seat; hear the soft pure strains of music issuing from those painted pipes. “Doesn’t —doesn’t any one ever use it now?” she asked. Unconsciously she spoke in a whisper; David shook his head. “It hasn’t been touched for years. There are other rooms farther oil? Shall we go?” His steps echoed hollowly as Jie led the way; there was so little furniture and no curtains at ail at the high windows.
OUT OUR WAY—By WILLIAMS
Here and there the outline of an old high-back chair stood out -es a corner, or the ghost-shape of a folded card-table, with quaintly clubbed feet and slender legs. “If this W'ere my house,” said Alary suddenly, “1 should live in this part of it —it's much more beautiful than the other wing. It only wants the windows open, dfci big tires, and —” She broke off, conscious of his eyes bent upon her. “I ought not to have said that, she added, in confusion, "You do live her, don’t you?” said David, smiling. A low afehway led to a smaller, narrower room. “We ought to have a light to see the carving here properly,” he added in a mere matter-of-fact voice. “Will you wati a moment while I find one? There used to be candles kept in the organ-loft.” He walked aw r ay without waiting for her to speak. Mary stood there in the darkness, listening to the Sound of his footsteps. She was conscious of a sort of timidity all at once now she knew herself to be alone. She wished he had not left her* she felt almost inclined to call out to him, but bit her lip to check the desire. His steps had quite died away now, and there was a momentary silence, followed by the hollow banging of a distant door. Mary started violently; she took a

step forward, then stopped. How absurd to be nervous! Ha would be back in a moment! Os course, he had not left her for more than a moment. But she counted each second by her racing heartbeats. The patch of moonlight coming through the archway leading to the long music room seemed to fill the whole place with shadows. She remembered that David had said it was here that the ghost lady walked. Her tongue felt dry in her mouth.
