/ This child has remarkable at,
lection for an invisible girl who
IS ever present with her.
Physicians acknowledge that some
persons of sound mind are effected
IL this way, but they are very sci.
dom seen.
Leslie Nay, called by her moth.
CT sister, is one OF them.
She plays, eats, sleeps and walks
with an invisible child, whom she
calls Mary.
Hearing OF the case I deter mined
upon investigating it, an after an
hours searching found where the
child lived with her parents.
Her mother, in answer to nv
queries as to whether or not the
reports | had herd were tue, re-
piled that they were and iutroduc.
ed me to the little girl Leslie May,
who blushed and smiled as she
gave me her dainty little hand to
shake.
Il am ashamed to let any one
see her." said the lady, Gas her
apron is very much soiled."
"Mary did it, replied the little
girl. 81 did not. Mary threw mud
at me and spoiled my apron"
"What sortot girl is Nary l
asked. She's a dark little girl with
black eyes and black hair
The mother then told of her lit
tie girls love tor this Elm Mary,
invisible to all eyes save her
own.
Leslie cares very little for the
company OF other children, bat
will amuse herself To- hours in
playing with Mary.
She often plays hide.andeseek,
Leslie counting and then spying
out Mary, after which Mary counts
and Leslie hides.
The little girl has been telling
about this unseen Mary ever since
she could talk, and when her fq>
Their comes home every night she
cuddles up in his lap and tells in
her childish prattle ofthe good time
she has had with Mary,
When Leslie goes to bel at
night she refuses to sleep until her
mother has tucked Mary in the
bedcIoths at her feet.
When mea! time arrives Leslie
is not contented until a
plpte has been prepared beside her
own for Mary.
When the child goes to walk
with her brother she frequently
calls back for Mary, telling her to
hurry up or she will get lett.
If the mother goes TO walk she
must dress Mary as well as Leslie
and i the door is closed quickly
on going outside Leslie will cry
until it is opened 50 that Mary can
come with them.
On enc occasion Leslie was TAXI
ell sick. She said Mary had hit her
with stone and cried very much.
saying Mary troubled her, She
would not rest until her mot er
pretended to put the inv sihle
child from the room.
Leslie says Vary lives with her
mother down TIE street, sometimes
going to see her.
