to enter even in broad daylight. When
the White House was burned by the
British-troops during the war of 1872,
this house was occupied by President
Madison while the executive mansion
was being rebuilt.
On II street, near the corner of Eight
zenith, is house that for years was re-
puted haunted. 1t Is now the residence
of well known naval officer. The
ghost of an old negro woman has ap-
peared to the occupants on a number
of occasions. 1t seems that her pur-
pose, which was finally accomplished,
was to reveal the location of a large
sum of money in greenbacks. The mon
ey was done up in an envelope and hid
den in mattress. The envelope was
marked with directions to the effect
that the contents should be given to
certain relatives. The money having
been found and so delivered, the phan-
tom never came back. The London So
ciety Of Psychcal Research obtained
sworn statements from. several highly
connected persons regarding the truth
fulness of this story, and it is now con-
sidered by them to be the best anthem
tjcated ghost story in their possession.

group OF harvest hands who had col
lected under hedge to escape from a
passing shower is recalled in this con-
nection. They were found dead, sit
ting on the ground in perfectly easy
and natural postures.
The collectors of the curious stories
of the freaks of lightning have pre-
served the account of the case where
what appeared to be a ball of fire was
observed rolling along the ground and
finally into Il shed where several pigs
were penned. With comparatively slow
and apparently deliberate movements
the ball traversed the inclosing rails.
skirted the sides of the pen and was
pursuing its so far harmless way along
the floor when an overcurious pig con-
cluded to investigate it more closely by
rubbing his snout against it. At the
touch of the pigs nose the shed on that
side few into small bits, and the stu
dent of electricity and his brothers and
sisters were instantly killed.

while the people at the ranch would
think he had gone on the drive.
The long night passed and the day
came and the sun shone down pitilessly
on the figure staked out on the burning
sands. Night came on again and still
the cowboy lay bound to the stakes,
looking straight up into the heavens.
The next day came, and then the cow
boy, his body swollen from the effects
of the tight ropes that boupd him,
stung by the bites of the hundreds of
insects that swarmed about him, and
with swollen tongue distended from his
parched mouth, lay with blood red eyes
still looking straight up into the blaz-
ing sky. He cursed and screamed and
shrieked aloud for vengeance. Then he
would plead piteously for murder and
beg that the Indian girl would shoot
him. But she would only bend over
and look into his face and taunt him.
Finally the end came, and the Indian
girl went back well pleased to Darling
ton and told of what she had done.
When they put her in Jail and a mob
came and made an attempt to lynch
her, she was greatly surprised. She
could not understand but what she had
done the right thing. A man had told
her that he had loved her. He lied
