PREFACE

In almost every rural community in the older parts of ourcountry there is a house which some of the country folk havebelieved to be “haunted.” As a rule this house is old andperhaps has fallen into partial decay. The children passing onthe country road move to the opposite side when they draw nearthe building. Stories are current of scenes which have beenwitnessed and sounds heard in the vacant dwelling. Perhaps eventhe older people have not altogether outgrown their feeling oftimidity when they are near it. How baseless all such storiesare and how easily most of the unusual sights and sounds can beaccounted for is of course clearly understood. In this story Ihave tried to interest my young readers in the attempts of fournormal, go-ahead boys to solve the mysteries connected with avenerable house near the home of one of them, which was shunnedby many of the simple country people. I have endeavored to avoidall sensationalism and yet to interest the boys and girls in astirring story of the experiences of my heroes. I am not withouthope that the final solution of the mystery of the old MeekerHouse may help my young readers a little more courageously toface other problems, perhaps equally mysterious or perplexing,which may be presented to them in other forms. At all events Isincerely hope that the spirit and determination of the Go AheadBoys will remain in their minds after the story itself shallhave long been forgotten.
