Written for Tax Evexixo Stam THE WOODLEY LANE GHOST, A STORY OF FACT AND FANCY. BY MADELEINE VINTON DABLGREN, [Copyrichted } It was the afternoon of the longest day of the Year, the Zist of June, and jogging along over the Splendid sweep of Massachusetts avenue, whose Picturesque homes are grouped around the statues Of historic men, past Thomas Circle, past scott Cireie, reaching Dapont Circle, then by way of Connecticut avenue and over the city boundary line, Dr. Kawle’s buggy finally turned into that lovely strevch of circling drive calied Woodley Lane. The doctor was a young man, a newly- married man, just starting tuto a meager prac- tice, and quite disposed, while waiting for more patients, to take lile as easily as very limited means would permit. His comely, girlish wife was seated at his side, an embroidered linen lap robe deftly tucked around her. Such is the incon- Sequence of youth that these two were as happy, perbaps more #0, than another two who whirled past them in & grand equipage, In fact, the foolisu. doc! or Was even as coutent as if he were plodding around town with bis aired boy visiting patients and cotning doliara, “Au, my Cynthia,” said he, “what an Eden ‘Washington would be were it not 30 detestubly beaithy.

Strange how ail men, lover and busband alike, are magnetized by the electric Stroke of Battery! At this moment, turning a sharp corner of the Winging road, tuey perceived an oidisb man com- ing toward them witn siow and feeble sep.
