    to the parents to know what was keeping the girl from school. After a long time she told them that a red haired woman used to keep her in the fort. The mother sent for the priest. He said Mass and advised them to keep the little girl at home. That night the woman come at a very late hour and told them she would take the little girl when she would grow up and get married. The girl never got married so she never after heard of the red haired woman.
