HEADLINES FROM THE LIVES
OF PEOPLE LIKE YOURSELF
"ChOst at the Door,

ELLOE EVERYBODY:
IL You, know, boys and girls, Old Lady Adventure is
the most democratic female in the world. She doesn't con-
fine her attentions to any particular class of people, but
visits her favors on all alike. Why, kings and queens have
had adventures, and so have doctors, lawyers, cab drivers
and preachers.
Today I've got a yarn from a dentist-Dr. Robert Lentz
of Danville, Ill.
This adventure happened to Doc along about the summer
of 1912, and in those days he was living in Williamson coun-
ty, near Wolf Creek, III. That's down near the Ozark ridges
and in 1912 there was some pretty lonely country in that
neighborhood.
Doc knew, because he used to ride through some of it
pretty regularly. He was counting a girl who lived about
five miles from his home and he used to ride out there on
horseback: along a winding road that ws almost impossible in places
because Of the thick growth O. either side.

and that bottom was midway between his home and his girls house.
There was a ford across the creek, and near the ford, a old tumble
down church that hadn't been used for upwards of so years.
Woman Burned to Death in Bygone Days.
Near the church was an old chimney-an that was left of a house
been burned to death when that house took fire.
There was something eerie about the old church and the old
chimney. Doc used to feel shivery when he passed them riding
home at two O'Clock in the morning. But on night he made the
mistake of going into that church, and then
1t was n dark night when Doc was coming back from a date.
1t a started to rain just after he left-a thin drizzle at first.
But as he rode along, he heard the rumble of thunder and the rain
began coming down harder. He had reached the bottom then, and the
