year. So secretly has the matter beer
 kept from the public that not even hi!
 own wife knows of it. You, and one
 or two doctors to whom have intro
 duced my brother as a stranger, are tn,
 only ones that have seen Charley il
 one of his fits, or whatever you like tC
 call them. I have always had taste
 for carpentering, and I have fitted UT
 the room directly above yours for him
 Last night he managed to escape out
 of the window, and thus got into youl
 room. It was most fortunate that I ar
 rived when did, for in another mo- ment he would have strangled you. However, there is no need oi further alarm. l saw him safely into his strong room, with no possibility oi another escape. If you like it, we will go and see him. I think that would be the best means to settle your nerves"
 thought it would be so myself, so we went. Although the room was directly above mine, we had to walk quite distance through an upper hall before we came to it. Stopping at a heavily-barred door, Macray. after un- locking an upper and lower lock, drew out a long thin key, with which he finally opened the door.
 Are you not afraid to go in?" 1 asked.
 ''Oh, no, he always seems to know me-"
 Holding lighted candle, we en. tered. At first I saw nothing of my late intruder, but heavy stertorous breathing led us to where he lay in front of thickly-barred window. We lifted him up and carried him to small iron bedstead. The candle light fell on his face, which was repulsive one with savage scowl still lingering on it. His hair was thickly matted.
 After standing a moment Macray said:
 Come, we will have a glass of something. I see your nerves are shaken a bit. Look out or you will drop that candle."
 ''Of course, Jack" continued Mac ray, when we were downstairs drink ing our brandy, you will never men, tiOn what you have seen to any one By the way, old Pompey gave me a big fright tonight; I thought it was Charley"
 ''Yes, noticed it. 1 thought you were ill" answered.
 ''Do you know what think the mat ter with Charley is? It is this: that he is tormented by an evil spirit that at | certain times and seasons enters into his body and takes possession of it. You may have noticed the large num- Der of books I have in my library devoted to the subject. We read that there were many in the old days possessed with devils and unclean spirits. Why could not that be the case to-day? Nothing else to my mind will satisfactorily explain my brothers trouble"
 After the exciting scenes I had just I could but answer: ''I think SO too."
 Some two or three weeks later, was again asked to visit Staten Island. Among those whom met was Charley Macray and his clever wife, I could hardly bring myself to acknowledge that the man who sat opposite to me at dinner, uand who, by his brilliant con- held the entire table, was the same who had attacked me in the dead of night only few weeks before. And yet it was the same, and as continued o look, l recognized some of the char acteristics of the first face.
 A half amused smile was playing tbout my hosts face. His eyes met nine and they seemed to say: Have not spoken the truth about my broth 1T? Is it not as I said?"
 The next morning in the city, before ve finally separated, Macray turned to ne and said:
 Jack, do you realize now that was right when he said hat there are more things in Heaven nd earth than are dreamt of in our Goodbye" and he was 'one.-G George Do'Oni'sg Sparks, in The lpoch.
