BIVINS HOUSE MYSTERY SPEAKING or cal-iosrs AND THINGS By RICHARD WEIS l'LL SEE YOU after school in front of the Main building, jim, I have something to tell you, gaily called Bob Brown to his chum, Jim Henderson. I'll be there sure, called Jim. jim Henderson and Bob Brown attended Alton High School and were inseparable pals. At three o'clock sharp the boys met outside the Main building. Bob was bubbling over with enthusiasm as he exclaimed, We can sure- ly get some revenge on George for some of the tricks he has played on us. How? asked Jim. Well, Grandfather was telling us last night about the mystery of that old deserted Bivins house at the south of town. Fifty years ago Cecelia Bivins committed suicide by stabbing herself there, and he said her ghost was sup- posed to reappear on the same night every year and reenact the scene. George is always bragging about how brave he is anyway, and we will ask him to go there with us and watch for the ghost. It is supposed to appear on the fifteenth, which will be next week. We will ask jane Carr to help us out and pretend she is the ghost. She ,can ask her brother to take her out there before we get there, and wait for her, as I know she wouldn't go by herself. She can wrap up in a sheet and slowly walk out into the room and pretend to stab herself, just as the story goes. Then we surely will have a good laugh on George as I know he will be about dead of fright. And the next time he starts bragging about how brave he is, we can remind him of the ghost episode. That will be a good one on him, laughed jim. Of course we must bind jane to secrecy. At this point George walked up to where the two boys were standing, and they explained to him about the ghost suicide which was sup- posed to take place every year at the Bivins house. He thought it would be a thrilling ex- perience to go out there and see if it would really happen. The night of the fifteenth the three boys met at Bob's house and started down the road to the mystery house. Gee, I don't believe that old story,', said George. Do you? Oh yes, I do, quickly answered Bob. Grandfather said someone had seen the ghost years ago. Well, we will soon see if there is a ghost or not, put in jim. The three boys cautiously approached the mystery house. No one was in sight, and, as they walked up the lane leading to the porch, everything was deathly quiet. just as they stepped on the porch an owl hooted in a nearby tree, and all three nearly fled in confusion. The moonlight was streaming in the uncurtained window as the boys noiselessly stepped into the room leading from the porch. This is the room, whispered Bob. Let's hide back here behind the door. The boys huddled behind the door and breathlessly waited. In a few minutes a white shrouded figure seemed to float to the center of the room, It suddenly raised its hand and plunged a dagger into its breast. The boys waited no longer. They jumped up with enough noise to frighten anything away, not excepting ghosts, and fled. They didn't stop until they reached Bob's house. Gee, can you believe your own eyes? panted Bob. They don't need to tell me any longer that story is fake, when we saw her ourselves. Well, I think I have had enough for one night, I am going home to retire, said George. If I hadn't seen it myself, I wouldn't be- lieve it. I won't go near that place at night again, that's sure, answered Jim. I'll see you boys in the morning, called George as he left them. As soon as George got out of sight, jim and Bob nearly convulsed themselves laughing. Did you see him run! The look on his face was killing. Oh yes, he is brave! Fearless George! He was still shaking when we got home, laughed Bob. Well, we finally got it back at him, and we will remind him of his fearlessness often after we explain to him who the ghost was. The boys parted, still laughing heartily. The next morning Jim and Bob were very much surprised to receive a telegram reading: Unavoidably detained last night. Sorry could not carry out joke. JANE. IN THE HEART OF A BOY fContinued from page 111 Suddenly the sun came back again into jimmy's world. As the black eyes of the old servant and the Irish-blue eyes of the boy met, each read deep into the soul of the other. To her who understood, jimmy offered up all the gratitude of his boy's heart, but all he said was, Gee, Lizzie, he's great.
