A WEIRD FACE ON THE WALL.
The shadoio That startled a Very Timid
Young Lady.


Young Lady.
From the Athens (Ga) Banner.
: Some time since, in our city, aryoung lady
had retired to bed, but had not blown out the
lamp. Her glance rested on spot on the
wall, where was clearly outlined the shadow
Of a mans profile, and the figure, too, had a
most hideous and menacing look. With a
wild shrek she sprang from her couch, and,
in her gown, rushed into a parlOr where
some friends were sitting. Pale and tremb-
ling she stated that man was concealed in
her room, and described the figure ON the
wall.
Aiming themselves with such weapons as
were at hand, a charge was at once made by
the males, the ladies bringing up the rear.
Sure enough, there still remained the image
Of the intruder. Snatching up the lamp, one
of the gentlemen started to search under the
bed, but at this instant the face vanished. a
search was made, not only Of every part of
the room, but throughout the house, but with
no success. At length it was decided that
some person in the street had stopped to look
into the window, and thus the shadow was
cast But this suggestion was at once dis
PEELED, for as soon as the lamp was replaced
on the table the face again appeared.
Another fruitless search was made. 1t was
decided that the strange visitor was con-
cealed in some out-of-the-way place and his
reflection exposed by the light. There was
but little sleep in the house that night, but
all passed off quietly. At intervals for
months the face would appear on the wall,
without particle of change in the express
sion. No one would occupy the room, and
finally the hiddeu-man theory gave place to
some supernatural agency. The room was
known as the haunted chamber, and great
many friends we're invited to witness the
sight Il was found that the shadow only
appeared when the lamp was placed on
certain table in particular position.
a few nights since an inquiring lady,
hearing Of the matter, expressed desire 70
sleep in the haunted room and see If she
could not unravel the mystery. Permission
was given, and al the usual time she retired
TO bed, leaving the light ablaze and the
human head clearly defined upon the wall.
She decided that the reflection was cast By
some object in the room, and let her eyes
investigate everything that came to view.
She was about giving up the task in
despair when her vision rested on the fire.

ing The fuel was upheld in pair Of old
fashioned snd-irOns, their tops ornameDted

startling discovery that night again took
possession OF her former chamber and says
