There were two principal reasons for his attitude. The Widow Morton was not beautiful. She lived in a Haunted House. To these objections Darby replied that beauty was as the flower that faded, whereas such assets as the widow possessed in the way of houses and land were entirely a different matter. As for ghosts, Darby pooh-poohed the very idea. Urged on by Darby's irresistible logic, Wood B. went to call upon the widow. He found her by no means unwilling to consider another venture in matrimony. In fact, before Wood B. knew where he was, the county clerk was asking the coy Mrs. Morton whether she meant years or decades when she said her age was twenty-four. After the marriage license had been procured, Wood B. could see no use in delaying the wedding, but the widow demurred. She would not marry him until he had met dear old Uncle Jerry. Now, Uncle Jerry was one of the ghosts who frequented the Haunted House, though Wood B. did not know it. Hence, it might be imagined that Mr. Wood did not feel any too comfortable when the widow showed him the portrait of the man he had come to meet, and informed him that poor Uncle Jerry had been dead for quite a while. The fact that the portrait made extremely unpleasant faces at him upset Wood B. considerably, and his state was not improved by the highly curious things that happened in the house. The climax was reached so far as Wood B. was concerned when Uncle Jerry threw a trunk downstairs at him. Wood B. gave a wild yell and fled. The alert widow caught him in the front yard. Wood B. tore up the marriage license and threw it away, but the pieces formed together again, and try as he would, Wood B. could not get rid of it. As he tore down the road, he met Darby. Mounting on the horse behind his friend, Wood B. informed him that he could not make the horse go too fast or far to please him. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
