able young man, the Emperor William
of Germany, has given strict orders
to the numerous guards who inhabit
the royal palace AT Berlin TO intercept
the first ghost That appears and hold it
prisoner.
The lucky guard who effects the cap

TINS ghost mas worried the Hohenzoi-
lerns for something like four hundred
years, and whenever she appeared some
notable member of the family, usually
the emperor, died within month or
two. This ghost is known as the White
Lady, as she always appears in hoW-
ing white robes. Her history is longer
than forty campaign speeches, and
dead more interesting. She was seen
in the palace about four weeks ago,
hence the emperor's orders for her
capture
There are many other interesting his
torical ghosts, who, however, are not
sa we'll known as the White Lady OF
the Hohenzollerns. This country is
comparatively free of ghosts. but Eng
land is a veritable land of wraitns.
The supersti&ious peasantry may have
something TO do with the excessive sup
ply. Each little village and hamlet has
its own ghost. usually q ghost of great
antiquity, around whom time has en-
t'wined a verdant growth of romance.
SOME SUSSEX GNOMEs.
sursex, which of ALI the English
counties has retained it's old character
istics the most, has a. good many ghosts
who are still realities in the eyes of the
rustics of that little visited district,
which was once the center of England s
iron industry. There is the headless
man of ST. Leonard's Forest, known as
Squire Faulett, who jumps upon the
crupper of q horseman entering the for
est. and remains cnere until clear of it
There is the Drummer of Hurstmon-
ceaux. Black dogs-a favoTite shape as
summed by ghosts all over England, haunt
dark lanes and lone byroads, and under
many a sequestered wooden bridge a
headless woman may be seen spinning;
while on the old cattle road between
Kingston, near Lewes and the Marshes,
may be seen on any dark wild night,
incessa ntly spinning charcoal
Matter of fact London has ghosts by
the score, and while few people ac-
knowledge a belief in the creepy WISH
tors, it is a notable fact
that many houses remain I'M
teuanted from one years end
to the other because of the fact that
they are said 70 be inhabited by
wraiths. The most notable of the Lon
don ghosts is that of Lord Holland,
who is said to walk in the Sir Joshua
room of the Holland house. This par
ticular Lord Holland is surprisingly
obnoxious because he insists upon
carrying his head in mis- hands as he
walks about the apartment, glancing
now and then at the fine pictures
adjoining the walls.
TEENS WITH GHOSTS.
Norfolk is another English county
which teens with ghosts. There is a
pale, long-haired woman, who runs
sllrieking amongst the pits on Aylmer-
ton Heath There is a great black
'-Shuck Dog''-the word "shuck" said
to mean the devil-wllo at Coltshall
Bridge is headless, and at Salhouse
has a blazing eye in the center of his
forehead, and who has a brother at
Peel castle in the Isle of Man the spirit
of a murdered prisoner known as the
Mauthe Dog. Then young Lord Da-
ere, who was murdered in 1865 by his
guardian, Sir Richard FulInerston, who
arranged that a rocking horse on
which the boy sat should fail, still
prances about on a headless rocking
horse.
Anne Boleyn still rides down the
avenue OF Blickling park, once a year,
in a. hearse-like coach, drawn by four
headless horses, and driven by

the same thing. At Caistor castle
there is another coach and headless

Warrington hall the residence of the
Walpoles, Earls of oxford, has it's
ghostly associations. Horatio, second
earl, removed all the tombstones Of
the Scalrners. the former pOSSessorS Of
the hall, from Wickmere church. and
one of the buried ladies is still believed
to walk around the churchyard. To
atone for the sacrilege, every earl of
Oxford al his burial was driven in his
hearse three times around ruined
Wick1nere church before being finally
laid 10 rest.
