from town when the subject OF death was
brought MP. and we conlcctured as 10
whether IL we're possible for the spirit OF
one dead to return to earth and make itself
After discussing it awhile we three
agreed that the spirit Of the first of us who
died should .eturn and discover itself To
the remaining two.
We were an Young and in vigorous
health. and soon the agreement passed out
Of our minds.
A few months after the above my friend
s. left town 10 visit his mother IN
reiehhorinc village. The third night after
ms departure dreamed that | was sitting
with the familya AT the tca-table when a soft
rap WAS heard nj the door. j responded 10
II and upon opening the door saw my
friend S standing in the hall. His face
was bruised upon the right side so much
aq 10 be almost blue. his eyes had the
CLASSY stare If death, aud ms lips We're
rigidlv drawn rs if in intense pain; but
p.,rticularlv noticeable was - deep trlangu-
suggested some Jagged instrument.
With CHASTITY smile he said: have
come: tell Charlic want 10 SEQ him. My
brother at once turned rs if 70 90 to hun,
but caught and violently restrained HIM,
Lcsocching him the while not 70 90 there,
for believed s. to De dead.
The dream WAS so vivid that ! awOke
with % start of horror and aroused my
brother. and was about To narrate 10 MN
my terrible dream, when. right IN the
doorway. with the same bruised face and
ugly wound had seen in my dream, stood

that when hc frs aWOke. dld he cast MS
eyes toward the DOORWAY.
Fully two minutes the spectre-lF ugure

and myself setting upright IN bed con-
ycr-ing at the top of our voices. oar father
ID the ADJOINING room was disturbed 10y the
sommotiOu and came in 20 learn what the
matter was. b inc Informed = hOoted the
