"The fact is," he said, "their priuci
pal object is to have the thing off the'
hands. Tenants have been coming and
tenants have been going, and ' some
have paid and some have not paid.
The place has got a bad name in the
neighborhood. The owners, however)
think that if a reaped -able tenant conies
and stays for some time, it will have' a
good effect on the public -mind. Baia,
as Margaret says, you must count the
cost. Your servants will be sure to
hear the ghost story. They will sere
visions and dream dreams. You may
have to do a good deal of the wok
yourself. By the by, there is an ofd(
housekeeper , a Mrs. Weevil, who lives
in the lower rooms."
"Could we not get rid of her ?" I

they say she is a quiet old soul, who in-

warn her, you know."
"Well," I said, "let us write to tl e
agent, and sec what can be done."
The result of all this. was that; a
