moderately active, woman about 2,400
calories .

years brings a gradual decrease in

the need for energy food .begins to

, MYSTERY ..

, .., • a " GLAMIS CASTLE
.
' (By Jahn laerriee McCulloch, in The Toronto Star Weekly)
. ,
a .
When pretty little Princess Eliza-
tgetl'i VAS tkp to , Scotland this sum-
mer to visit her grandparents, the
Streathm•ores Of Glands Castle, she
will be old enough to be curious about
the famous mystery a that grim old
fortre,es.. Nor will the prince,ss be the
first iemate of Glen& Castle to di.s-
play a lively interest in the strange
secret that these walls hold. Grown-
up mew/bees of the Earl of Strath-
more's own family have searched the
castle, intside and out, in efforts to
,solve the riddle,. Distinguiehed man
like Sir Walter Scott and Lord Pley-
fair racked their brains over it. A
Co•untes:s of Strathmore, ehatelaine
of the castle, once tried to uncover
• the seceet. '
Tht,,. suecesesive investigations have
all failed completely. Only three peo-
pia in the world know the secret-
the Earl of Strathmore. hts sop and
heir, and the factor of the astata. It
lies been that way for hundreds of
years. E'ac'h successive earl tells the
secret to his heir, bet only when the
heir has reached his twenty-first
birthd.ay. Why the factdt is included
is another mystery, and the secret
has been well, kept throughout the
eenturie.s. Factot's have 'cornet and
gone at Glands but. chunk or SOber.
not one of them ever gave the .secret
away. More than one heir promised
to blow the mystery Up after being
told about it, but they...all chinged
their rain& after they became shar-
ers in the secret. Nobody telle.
What is the nature of this peren-
."niel secret of the Strathmore strong•
•
hold? There have been many con-
.
jectures about it in Scotland. and be-
tory provides a few clues. To -day.
Glamis is a peaceful place, inhabited
by .an immensely popular old Scottish
Couple. the E.arl and iCountees of
Strathmore. Royal children play in
its lovely en -minds.. Inside its maseive
walls is a singularly happy house-
held. In all Scotland you would not
-find a more joyous . menage.
But Glamis wasn't always like that.
If its gray walls eceald speak. they
could tell tale,s of horror'. In this
-
ancient fortress. elacbe-th murdered
Duncan. Back in 13.53. the. urea • Bar-
on a Glands. Sir John Leon, was
:
done to death in o. duel. This violent
was under the shadow of a
man - '
powerful curse, and a long train of
tragedies followed his death.
- • -
The Secret Room.
•
One of the most horrible of these
was the death of the Young and at-
tractive widow of the sieth Lord
Glamis. She e -as accused. of witch-
craft. and,after a monstrous nial, in
which her own son, a bov of sixteen,

his unhappy mother. this chatelaine

be 'misunderstood. in Scotland; her

in the eyes of the ignorant. .

of the Ltons. They lived she t and

The Iran who WO V.e mystery into

Ear'l. of Saw -lemma-. He was a terror,
When, he wasn't carousing he waz,
gam,bling with cards, and when whis-
key ari'd cards were net availabi.e. he
made the castle echo with his emits.

but after all. the Sahhath was the
Sabbath: even in tnoee days. Cutsinet
everybody in the house, he raid he
would play e-ith the devil himself,
and disappeared into one of his own
private dens. .
Hee wasn't there long till soniebody
knackeri on the door, "Come isa-
shouted the earl. In came a myster•
ious figure, wrappe.d. to the eyes in a
Neck cloak. The d•e•vil! Without a
word the visitor sat down and the
play began.
The earl began to lose, and his
oaths echoed up and down the erre
, eorridore of the castle. The terrified
rbut curious servants crept up to the
door of the gaming /aim and the
butler took e peep through the kese
thole.- 'Silly old man! No sootier .was
his eye at the keyhole than lie fell
hack on the floor, howling that a
sheet of flame had burned his eye.
Out came the earl. He scattered the
,servants, swearing' to kill the first
Mae he found at the door ag-ain.
Then he went ,back to his game -hut
presto! his mysterious parther had
vanithed into thin air.
Every Sabbath evening after that
the gaming room resounded with the
noise of the cursing earl -when he
wasn't there at all. The weekly tu-
mutt tontimad after the earl was
stabled to death. and finally the fun-
ily hail the rem built up..
Was this the secret room that ex -
its in Glands Castle to-d•ay, the room
which will start an argument In any
'Lerner of Scorlend? Ma'y'be. One
thing is sure -there is a secret chain,
ber, arid there is a deep niestery con-
meted with it.
