The Haunted
Hall
A ROUMANIAN TALE
By HELENE VACARESCO
Lady-io-Waiting at the Roumanian Court
t Cop)rlKtit, 1UU6, bf Joseph 1}. Bowles;
"Sultana, you and your brother will
have it; sleep here and guard the corn,”
said rhe young girl's mother.
It was after sunset, and the peas
ants had all returned to their homes
in the neighboring village. The even
ing was beautiful, and the eastern sky,
lit up by delicate clouds shading from
the palest pink to violet, made an ex
quisite picture.
"Dear mother, sleep here,” replied
Sultana, in an awed whisper, “we know
i he corn must be guarded, and that the
Tziganes (Bohemians) are rapacious
and daring, but everyone in the vil
lage says that yonder place is haunted.
My brothers need have no fear, for the
spirits of the dead only show them
selves to young girls when, when—”
“When they are pretty,” quickly put
in her mother. “Have you ever been
curious enough to look at yourself in
the fountain, or the well? If so, you
may have seen frowning at you a very
brown small face. You are always
frowning. Sultana, and no spirits will
show themselves to you. You are not
pretty enough.”
"Yet Constantin told me—”
“Constantin is in love with you, and
covets the house and cattle; he has
every reason to declare you are, pret
ty,’ muttered the old woman between
lier teeth.
“Well, good night, child. I have nr
time to spare. You must be tired, sr
lie down on the straw and rest. In
half an hour the moon will rise am
keep you company.” With these words
Sultana's mother lifted a bundle ol
straw which had fallen from the last
wagon, pushed it towards the girl am1
then took the path that led to the vil
lage.
As her footsteps died away, Sultana
looked round for her brothers, and, not
seeing them, she walked a little way,
flnully finding them fast asleep near a
hedge. Something like pity for her
toiling race moved her heart; but peas

ant girls rarely stop to analyze their
feelings and prefer dreams to the real
ity of thought.
The vast plain stretched around her
like a silver sea In the twilight and
the gleaming village lights on the hill
seemed to he the only sentinels to
whose care this vast stretch of land
was confided. The ruins of an old cas
tle rose at the foot of the hill, and
towards this place Sultana wound her
way. wondering to herself if it were
really haunted; and if it were really
possible that the legends she had so
often heard were true.
“How unlikely,” she muttered to her
self, as she pushed back the yellow
muslin handkerchief on her head, and
let the night air fan her curly black
hair, and caress her small, delicate
face. As she stood there, gazing at
what had perhaps in ages past been a
house of revelry and grandeur, the
moon rose. Sultana remembered a
story she had heard In her childhood,
that the moon burned to ashes all the
young girls she met on the plain when
she first rose. Thinking of this, she
slowly returned to her bed of straw,
laid herself down and was soon asleep.
All at once she awoke bewildered agd
troubled, and saw standing a few paces
from her the shadowy form of a wom
an, who seemed to be beckoning her
towards the ruins. At the same mo
ment she became aware that soft, ln
, visible music was playing around her.
She rose quickly and, running to the
ruins, found to her great surprise a
door she had never noticed before.
Opening it, she discovered some\ steps
which led into what had been in ages
past an immense banqueting hall. At
i long table gorgeously decorate^ with
silver candelabra and laden with ex
quisite fruit and flowers sat about a
hundred lords and ladles. That this
was a bridal party Sultana understood
it once. It also struck her that she
was invisible to all the company, with
| the exception of a handsome youth,
(
who wore a wrote mtin ran fume nnn a
long, dark green velvet cloak
Never In her wildest Imagination had
Sultana seen a face ho distinguished
and handsome ns this youth's who
seemed to watch her with imploring
eyes. A beautiful woman sat opposite
him. Her rich dress was also white
and glistening with diamonds. Thrown
yver the back of her chair was a green
mantle, similar to that worn by the
youth. The music had stopped on her
entering the hall and a deep silence en
sued. Sultana’s eyes followed the
young man’s movements, and with a
oang of disappointment and Jealousy
! she discovered that he was the bride
groom and the lady opposite his bride.
\et he took no notice of her and his
gaze was fixed on Sultana with a look
full of love and reverence. Sultana
trembled with expectation and excite
ment. Would he not speak to her or
bid the servants question her as to her
j intrusion and desires?
But he said nothing, and Sultana was
beginning to feel weary of the un
changing spectacle and the silence of
the dazzling company, when suddenly
the strains of music were again heard,
wild, weird music, which seemed as if
it would rend the violins. At the same
moment a strong smell of roses per
i Vi>ded the room and the guests all rose
with animated and uneasy gestures,
pushing their chairs aside. The bride
groom was the first to rise. He lifted
his glass and seemed about to drink,
when suddenly he threw it violently to
the ground, and, seizing a knife, flung
; it into the bosom of his bride. The
girl fell back with a scream, and hor
ror-stricken Sultana watched her life
blood oozing down her white satin
gown. In haste the youth rushed
across the table, smeared his hands in
the warm blood and to Sultana’s terror
approached her with a humble and be
seeching air, showing her by his ges
tures that he was begging of her to
touch his blood-stained hands with
hers. Sultana, almost beside herself
with fright, tried to rush out of the
hall, but all the assembly gathered
round her, and, falling on their knees,
showed by signs that they were implor
ing her to fulfill the young man’s re
quest.
When Sultana returned to her moth
ers house at dawn the old woman
stood aghast at her scared face. “The
fu!l moon has done you some harm
after all. How your hands burn. You
must come to bed at once.” For some
days Sultana remained unconscious;
then delirium seized her. She raved
continually about the unknown youth
and the scene which had taken place in
! the haunted castle.
"She has gone mad,’’ said the neigh
bors to each other, as one by one they
came to inquire and saw the poor girl
throwing her arms over her head or
hiding her face in her hands and cry
ing bitterly.
Yet Sultana recovered. She never
I alluded to what was uppermost in her
thoughts. Soon after she had regained
her usual health she resolved to ques
i tion an old witch, who was supposed
to be well versed in magic of all kinds.
Having entered her miserable little
hut. which was filled with all kinds of
curious looking objects, she sat down
on a low stool before the fire and said:
“I am told you possess powers unusual
to most people. I have, therefore, come
to ask you to tell me all you know
about the haunted castle lying at the
foot of our village. If you do not
know its history, can you not by your
magic spells find It out?”
The old witch answered: “I know
its history and will tell it you. Three
hundred years ago the son of a mighty
hoyard (Roumanian chief) who inhab
ited the castle fell in love with a bein
tiful peasant girl. His parents, of
course, opposed the marriage and be
trothed the unhappy youth to the
daughter of another hoyard, who was
immensely wealthy and powerful. The
poor peasant girl poisoned herself be
fore the marriage took place. On the
very eve of the ceremony the youth en
treated his fiancee to release him from
his engagement. She was a bad and

Just tell ’em that you saw it in The Journal
heartless woman, who laughed in his
face, and taunted him, telling him that
she was quite content to possess his
riches without possessing his heart.
And then at a large dinner given in
honor of the bride—"
"Stop! I know the rest; he stabbed
her.”
"I see you have heard the tale be
fore." said the witch. "Do you also
know that the wretched souls of these |
people who died so long ago return by 1
night and haunt thp castle hall, where
they are bound to go through the ter- j
rible scene continually until some liv- j
ing girl, who resembles the girl the 1
youth loved, will consent to touch the
young man’s blood-stained hands?
This is the only means of lifting his
heavy curse and frightful punishment. >
It is likely to last forever, as he will
never find a human being capable of
such a sacrifice, as the instant she
touches his blood-stained hands she
must die.”
A week after this conversation had
taken place, Sultana was found dead in
ihe hall of the ruined castle and car
] ried tenderly by her people to her
: home. All who saw her were struck
; by the peaceful and happy look on her
! face, and a few days later, at her
funeral, the astonished peasants no
I tlced thp presence of a tall and ex
! tremely handsome youth, wrapped in a
long black cloak, who spoke to no one,
but lingered by the grave after all the
j others had left.
The priest, whose cottage overlooked
the cemetery, related that he saw the
mysterious youth lie down on the
freshly filled grave and slowly sink !
into the earth that covered Sultana.
Underground River Connects Lakes.
News of the discovery of a big un
1 derground river at Nelles Corners,
Haldimand county, Ont.. has been re
' eeived. While men were drilling for
| natural gas they struck the river 500
1 feet down in the ground. The discov
ery was made when the drill suddenly
! dropped a distance of 30 feet. When
drawn out it was wet. The rush of
water could be heard when the men
put their ears to the hole. Water was
pumped out, and with it came some
fish. Residents of the district believe
it is a great channel connecting Lake
Erie with Ontario. Its discovery is
beleved to explain why all the wells
around there went dry. No one could
say which way the river is running.
Considerable excitement prevail* as
the result of the discovery.
