“There was a half foolish boy once...”
(continued from previous page)a house near by the people had cars for hire and they kept their horses in a big stable. They noticed that in the morning the horses were tired out and all foaming at the mouth and sweating as if they had been running all night
the man that owned the horses died and the horses never seemed to have been out any more.
This man owned a big heavy car that he used to bring luggage in for people from the train. The night he died the car was heard coming towards his house quite plainly by some men on the road and though it was a moonlight night they could see nothing though they heard the car pass close beside them.
