A soMSAABuLIsT's FREAK

A strange story comes from 81, FrAnol,
county. la the s., Francis River bottom
there lives a man named George II. To
ban. With him lives wife and thirteeF
quiet way, so far ss any one knows
until recently, when the first strange bub
Bile arose on the lake Of the ismily's every
day life. One morning after the yellow
fever excitement began TO spread over
the county, MIR. Tobsn, upon opening hi'
door, found card lying on bis doorstep
On the card were written the words
Yellow fever,
Very little attention was paid to the
matter, but when again aud again similar
cards were found, Mr.. Tobsu became
conceSrned aud not being as clear OF
superstition as festival Is Of conscience,
regarded the card as ominous, and as a
warning Of and approach Of the terrible
disease. Every night be would read
gloomy reports from Memphis, and every
morning found the card yellow fever
Finally he determined to watch and satie-
iy himself, and on the doorstep remained
all night. No one appeared, but when
the darkness was dispelled by the streAks
of daylight he saw card lying on the
step beside him. Catching il up, aud
examining it, te saw the words yellow
fever written IN exactly the same hand
that bad marked the cards before.
Then there was indeed anxiety iu the
family. The fever reports grew gloomier
aud the family settled into the belief that
Providence, by hand writing on cards,
had advised flight. The husband did not
know what to do the wife was frighteu-
cd into terror that trembed at every
sound as though yellow fever walked
with noisy footsteps, and the son was al
most dumb aud sometimes deaf with
fright.
1t was at last decided that vacation Of
the place would be necessary. But q
change came, the mystery, like mist,
cleared up. On the night before the pro-
posed departure the husband, unable to
sleep, sat on the bedside almost terrified
and weak with dread. Suddenly the
door of the room opened, and bis son, in
night attire stood in the room.
The father, influenced by asudden feel
ing did not speak. The boy advanced TO
the mantlepieco, took down pencil,
went to The little table, took out card,
leaned over, wrote someting on II, and
then, advancing to the door, slipped it
under. The father watched breathlessly
and when the boy started TO leave the
room the man caught him. The boy
struggled, gasped aud awoke. lie did
not know, nor could he understand why
be stood there grssped by his father. The
wife sprsng out of bed, A few words
explained all, and when the door was
opened there was tho card bearing the
words yellow fever.
The young man iu bis carly youth bad
exhibited signs Of somnambuism, and
reading every day the yellow fever re-
ports to the family no doubt Influenced
bis action.
