    (continued from previous page)
    it was very late a thought of the ghost didn't cross his mind. A little dog he had with him was running on before him, jumping up on the ditch now and then. At the hollow of the road the little dog gave a terrible howl jumped off the ditch and ran headlong under his master's feet shivering with fright. When they had gone on a few hundred yards off ran the dog the same as ever. The man told the priest about his experiences and the priest warned him not to travel that road alone at night unless he couldn't help it.
