  1. (continued from previous page)
    Until very recently, it was customary in the district of this school, when people were out late at night, they met a rider on a certain road coming galloping at great speed.
    So frighttened were they, that they left the way and watched well to see who it might be.
    Soon they recognised him and met him time and again.
    Next morning, one of the horses in the stable of his former household was always found in a lather of sweat.
