I WINNIPEO, Nov. 29 For more than two months a spirit, that walked In Vassar, Manitoba, has had the countryside In what can only be described as a ferment. In the cold grey dawn ol Thursday morning, the spirit was laid, and wizened old Joe Perrier, who, because the devil was abroad, swore oil drinking, again nestles a jug and leaves his doors unlocked. vassar is a wny aamiei exacuy oos miles southeast of Winnipeg, on the Canadian National Railway. The population Is mainly French, Its chief industries hay and wood. Little Annette Lefebvre, aged 12, was the medium, so the legend ran, through which some restless other world spirit chose to manifest Itself. Annette lives with her mother and seven-year-old sister, Aurora, in- a little wooden house about half a mile west of the station. This little house had gradually become a centre for pilgrimages by the curious for miles around. People passed t by night only In twos and threes, If they could pluck up courage enough to pass It 'at all. Even during the day some gave It a wide berth, for it was generally felt an evil spell hovered over it. POOR LITTLE ANNETTE Many who had sat in the house swore ot' strange doings in the misty half lirht of morning. "That llddle girl Is too young to do anyi'lng wrong. I don't know why the ghost should ha'nt her," several remarked with gloomy mien. There was talk of making a collection of money In the neighborhood and having a special mass said for the confounding of the spirit. In short, there was a great restlessness over he countryside of Vassar. ' The legend started with mysterious raps on' Annette's toy box, which was in her room. Every .morning the raps grew louder and more insistent. Thun-derlngs raps were heard on the walls outside, on the partitions Inside. Meanwhile the child would be sleeping and groaning as though hands were about her throat, choking her. Every time there was a rap the bed clothes would be lifted from around her shoulders and whisked back by an Invisible hand. As one witness put It, "as thought caught up in a whirlwind." Many people, had seen these things. SCEPTICS- CONVINCED Sceptics examined the place, rand came away convinced. On one occasion Annette awoke and said she had seen a tall, pale lady crying at the foot of her bed. Spectators stated she appeared to. be In a trance at such times, and nothing could awaken her. A close watch had been kept on her movements when the ghostly proceedings were going on, and she had not stirred except to .'moan. Only the bed clothes flew back and the raps shook the house. Men had been posted outside to watch but had seen no trickery. The child had been held by the heels and shaken, but did not waken. Meanwhile interest in- the Lefebvre house and Its unearthly denizen grew until last Sunday morning 30 people gathered in the little place to.see and hear for themselves; and 30 people came away to spread the legend further. Monday, people drove up In cars from distant points. Those who came to laugh afterwards remained away. The legend thrived and grew, fattened and nourished on the pale Hps of the countryside, and the simple-minded Inhabitants, took to bolting their doors at nights, a thing rarely done there. After dark they drew their blinds, and if someone on a friendly visit knocked he was admitted with hesitation. Once he . was In. the door was hurriedly barred behind him. Some evil thing'. It was felt, was afoot, LEO KM) COLLAPSES Thursday morning the legend col lapsed; and the manner of Its coming about was as follows: Upon lnvestlga tlon, it . developed the ghostly affairs took place only between 6.30 and 730 o'clock. Ill th mnrninn'. Annette, fln- parently slept on after her mother and younger sister got up. The father is away working In the bush. It should be explained here that the house Is about 16 by 18 feet, with a woodshed built on one side. A partition runs through the length of It, dl-dlvlng the house In two, and another partition makes two bedrooms of the divided portion. There are thus two bedrooms, living room and kitchen. The kitchen Is at the back of the house, '.which can be entered either by the back door, through the kitchen, or by a door at the front. Thursday morning there were five men watching. All sat in the kitchen, Mrs. Lefebvre and Aurora were with them. The, ghostly grey, of dawrv veiled the house,' and be tiny grove, of dark spruce J trees1 aWhe "back of the Lectfebvre home rustled mysteriously a, thin, bitter wind sweptA'lirdMgh theii branches; The five men shivered slightly, despite the fire that crackled in the kitchen stove. Nearly all had been in the house before' and teen and heard the spook sonata. .NEHVES OX EIlflE Frayed nerves were on edge. The sen listened with strained attention. Groans as from a person In great pain came from Annette's bedroom, And what they were listening for happened. Two sharp, metallic rap were heard.

He said they "should stop at the Aleutian islands, on the coast of Alaska. My idea," he continued, "Is to urge the establishment of a government coaling station in the Aleutian chain, preferably at Atka Island. "It would be a welcome break. In the long trip to the Orient, and an added advantage to ships. They would go through Unlmak pass and" skirt the north side of the picturesque Aleutian chain of islands.

(Across from Empress Hotel) rushed in. The bedclothes were found whipped off .Annette's body and piled at the foot of the bed. Annette continued to groan although, apparently, asleep. The men exchanged awed glances. Like an uneasy spirit the mother wandered restlessly from room to room. The clothes were laid over Annette again, and the extra precaution taken' of pinning down the sheets and blank ets to the mattress with a stout safety pin. In the confusion and noise of leaving the bedroom again for the kit chen for it was said the spirit would cot operate when the bedroom wa watched one of the men slipped back Into the living room and" took up a position whence he could see any movements in the bed without being seen by the occupant.. The rest of 'the company went into the woodshed. The lone watcher by the bedroom leaned forward from the seat in the living room he occupied ana was able to see the bed almost three-quarters of the way up. And at what he saw the watcher smiled. First there was. a quivering of the springs and they sagged in the middle as when a person is sitting up. The clothes were folded .back by a most substantial hand, that could have been none other than Annette's; there came two sharp raps, and the watcher was at Annette's head. ANNETTE HERSELF THE (.HOST "Come on, Annette, r caught you that time." But Annette only snuggled her face into the pillow to smother what looked suspiciously like a smile. The safety pin was stuck in the mattress beside the pillow as a woman would stick it. Annette refused to wake up and one more trial was made. But two watchers were In the room this time. Annette rose up in bed, caught sight of one of them, and then decided she would get up. No amount of questioning could elicit . any Information from her. Asked to confess she had made the knocks herself, she would either reply with a bashful "No" or shrug her shoulders In a non-committal manner. A bribe of a package of nuts and raisins was no more successful than the questions. She denies all knowledge of the raps. Mrs. Lefebvre states she does not believe yet was her daughter who manipulated all the ghost knocks. Annette is a bright girl in manner, although her teacher says she Is distinctly of a nervous temperament. No common sense reason for her protracted scare of the Inhabitants can be given. But the scare Is almost over. Friday morning there were no raps, nor happenings of any other kind, Fears of, Impending evil are allayed. The vision of Vassar is shattered, but an entire countryside licks Its spiritual wounds. NO MERCY FOR HIM.
