The oil darkcy reached up eau
tiously and turned the handle. The
door opened little. and. clsting
away all fear. Uncle Zeke boldly
reached for the other knob. to steady
himself while he swung back tie
DOR.
Literally like flash of lightning
the electric discharge passed through
him. The muscles of his fingers
contracted, and he could not let 80
of the enchanted handles. At last
his feet slipped from the ladder, and
the weight Of his body tore his hands
adrift., Like log the sold man
dropped to the ground, lay groan-
ing, praying, and generally bewil-
dered.
"Oh, de lawsgoramity! Oh, my
heabenly Marster! Who eber fought
o'dat! My conscience done wake
up! my conscience done wake up!
Heern bout it often, an now I
knows it. Oh, my heabenly Mar
ster! if you lets up on me dis time,
Uncle Zeke neber touch muffin no
mo-. Clar to goodness Use change
man from dis day. B-r-r-r-r-r-"
And what, with the shock, the fright
and the fall Uncle Zeke's senses
seemed leaving him.
Ezekiel" said solemn voice.
Instinctively Uncle Zeke answered:
Hear me" and looked in the d.
rection of the sound. Oh, horror!
A figure clad in white was nearing
him with slow and solemn steps. As
the mysterious visitor approached it
seemed to rise until it lowered to
the height of at least ten feet. The
wretched Ezekiel, on his hands and
knees, his eyes protruding, and his
jaw dropped, remained as if par
alyzed. Suddenly the phantom
bowed itself, and its head descend
ing with incredible swiftness, smote
the unfortunate Uncle Zeke sense
less to the earth,
Three days later, as poor Uncle
Zeke lay, racked with rheumatism
and tormented with spiritual fear,
upon his bed in the single room at
his cabin, the door opened, and in
walked Mr.. Smith, of Bellevue.
Good morning, Uncle Zeke.
Why, what's the matter with you,
old MANI"
"Oh, Mis- Smith! oh, Mis- Smith,
I done had some turible sperences
lately. De angl oh de Lord done
wrastle wild me, an my consc 'ence

Marster, Is one sufferin' sinner

No, indeed, Uncle Zeke; nobody
been near it; everything all right
now"
AN nobody done touch be lock
Do lock ebery morning."
Yes, indeed. Why, who do You
think would touch it, old man -
Uncle Zeke answered not. but his
lips moved conyulsively As he NUT
tered: "a KNOCK me down fns. an
