Up the drive OF a certain manor

who formed n portion OF the house
party at Christmas were startled on
their return at dusk to hear the sounds
OF several horses hoofs coming up the
drive. Upon turning, all the party
saw an old fashioned coach with n
.eam OF four white horses advancing
toward them. They drew aside, and
as the coach passed them the two
ladies' screamed and fell almost faint.

others to sleep. Early in the morn

patched too late the previous night for
delivery, came TO hand, conveying the
intelligence that the only son Of the
house had been drowned while wild
fowling in the fens.
1t was nearly forty years before that
the coach had last been seen. although
seventeen years previously it had been
