dressed in white, before them in the
streets. The figure walked up to the
rig. The women called out away"
but without a word the white robed
figure sprang into the air and over the
horses back assisting herself in no
way and aligheing on the other side.
The driver whipped up the horse and
drove rapidly on. Was it a ghost, a
hallucination, or a being of flesh and
blood? These are the questions which
the male friends Of the ladies by mid
night vigils are endeavoring to solve.
