GHOST STORIES TO START SOON JUNIORS HOLD IE' DISTRICT MEET (Continued from page one) dius and tame pastime, in comparis on. Help will be given .you in solv ing the mysteries. In each .story, the clues are plainly hinted - but even so, i; requires considerable ingcunity am! analytical kill to piece together the chics and make them fit. Sometimes you will feci sure that you have ALMOST guessed the riddle, ' at yet some unaccountable feature remains. When you read t ,e correct solution in a succeeding issue of this paper, you will be amazed ai is simplicity and will wonder why you did not guess it at once. But of course, we all are like that. The twelve stories wjtc written by Mr. David'- Mcl-'nll; a western Journalist, author, world traveler. Writer of a teriei of twelve Ghost Stories to appear in thii paper. North Carolina writer and lecturer For many, years he was a journal ist in various American cities and for. twenty years lie followed the same profession in' Great Britain, where at different times he . was connected with leading papers in London and in the English, Welsh and Irish Provinces. And what country is more famous for its ghosts than England? Mr. McFall is widely travelled, having visited many lands. 01 the Ghost Stories he has written, four or five recount his own ex oeriences in the course of a sinL ularly varied and adventurous life The remaining stones are founded on the actual experiences of others, and in these cases he was careful to ascertain the. exact circumstanc es under which the ghosts appear ed. In several cases it was only after protracted periods of . close investigation on the spot that he was able to unravel the mystery. Mr, McFall is the author of a number of lectures, articles and poems,' and he has a delightful style. Two of his favorite lectures are "The Value of Poetry,1' written for poetry lovers only, and "Curious Footprints of English Civilization," based on observations made during a number of walking tours in Eng land.
