Il Strange Tale.

George Shiek, a young lad residing
with gentleman, tenant On one @
the Warwick furnace farms, in War
wick township, Chester county, day
or two ago, came running to the resi-
dence of his employer from an adjoin-
ing field, breathless and under great
excitement. After he became calm e.
nough to speak, he related the follow
ing circumstance. He says; ~ was 10
a certain-feld when I was met by
very dignified-looking, middle-aged
man, handsomely dressed, carrying
gold-headed cane, who asked me to
take a walk with him. did not want
to go, but felt that Icould not refuse
him, so I walked withhim. Wemade
large circle in the field, and after do
ing so, he stopped and said, My boy
can you remember the circle we have
made?' l told him that could.
well he said, inside that circle is
deposit of great wealth., He then
described small circle in one portion
of tho outer one, in which he stated
there lies the great bulk of the wealth."
After giving this information The cane
carried by theman suddenly disappear
ed from his view. He turned to look
for the man, but he had vanished.
The boys tale is creating considerable
excitement in that section of Chester
county. Some believe that he had fall
en- asleep and dreamed what he has re-
lated, while others believe that he has
encountered the veritable gentleman
in black. "-[ Pottstown Ledger.
