Old Stratford, the whitewashed town between this place and Bridgeport, made famous by mysterious "rappings" many years ago, and more recently celebrated as the scene of poor Rose Clark Ambler's strange murder, is much concerned over a house which the almost universal verdict pronounces "haunted."
Ambler's health was bad, and frequent attacks of illness caused him to be away from the office for weeks at a time, and that meant much loss to me. When I had been there about a year, he resigned his position and went as manager for a factory in New Haven.
The Ambler awaited the end of that brief caress, then with a snort threw up his head, and with his wild, soft eyes seemed saying, 'You fools! what do you know of me? George stepped to one side. "Take him away," he said, and his eyes followed the Ambler's receding form. A racing-man of a different race, whom he knew and did not like, came up to him as he left the paddock.

But, when it was over, I asked him if I had as much sense as he had, and he said, 'Psha! you're just a girl. Wasn't that funny, mamma?" "There, there, Betty," was Mrs. Ambler's rejoinder.
"You have broken your grandmother's heart and mine," repeated the Major, in a trembling voice, "and I pray to God that you may not break Virginia Ambler's poor girl, poor girl!"

"Well, it would have to be a good deal bigger than Mrs. Ambler's," Mrs. Old Driscoll's high and dry since the Ararat investigation." She threw him a puzzled glance, having no time, in her crowded existence, to follow the perturbations of Wall Street save as they affected the hospitality of Fifth Avenue.
