HE WAS A GENTLEMAN.
But He Was Particularly Absent When He
Was Most Needed.


n. L. sum-
There were ten of us who rode from the
depot to a hotel in Charleston in the same
bus, and as we entered the Office a short,
thick-set and MISUNDERSTANDING man
collared a young man wearing eyeglasses
and said
'I'll thank you to return my wallet"
Certainly. sir, certainly. Let us con-
duct ourselves as becomes gentlemen"
you picked my pocket on the way up,
and / want my wallet back or I'll mash
you'll" shouted the short man.
Exactly. No need of raising your
voice to a disagreeable pitch. Never for
get that you are a gentleman no matter
what the circumstances"
Where is my wallet"
"Here, sir, and have great pleasure in
returning il. l am sorry that we have
had anv misunderstanding"
An officer was sent for, and while wait
ing his appearance the young man said to
the crowd:
IL never had any trouble with Or gentle
man, never. / am obliged TO all of you
for the courtesies which you have ex-
tended. Let US part as gentlemen
should"
The officer soon arrived and walked
him away to the station, but that evening
about O'clock, as / Was walking on Meet
ing-st., the prisoner hailed me and said;
al desire to thank You for your consid-
GRAFTON in that affair. You treated me as
a gentleman, sir, and / shall not forget it. ="
"But thought you--you-"

THE PASSING SOUL"
What n French ScIentest with an ImoRina-
tiOn Thinks He Sees.
Paris Figaro1


scientist has invented an optical in
strument whereby spirits or ghosts or
astral bodies can be plainly seen. This
experiment. according to the savant
writing in French publication, was very
difficult Recollecting that it had been
asserted that it was possible to see the
astral body lie corpse fiuidique) leave the
body at the moment of death, he says he
was not willing to remain longer in igno-
rance; he therefore arranged the appa-
ratus, and when he had succeeded in get
ting the most perfect adjustment as to
light and magnifylng power, he was called
to the bedside of dying person. He
had been expecting the summons, and he
remained at the bedside of the dying man
until the approach Of death became mani
fest.
"a sudden trembling, shaking the
whole body, announced that the supreme
moment had come. With one OF my
friends who was assisting me, we placed
our heads under the dark covering Of the
apparatus and kept our eyes steadfastly
fixed on the object glass. The particles
OF dust in the air were magnified many
thousands of times, and for a moment
their violent movement produced cloud
in front of the glass. Then a delicate COL
umn OF violet vapor. condensed into a
flocculent mass, was clearly seen above
and around the body. Particles appeared
to pursue one another as If obedient to
some kind of central attraction. The
cloud condensed more and more, and took
the vaporous form of man, then rapidly
became purified until it was as colorless
as the most perfect crystal.
"At this time there was around us q
feeling of terrible Stiffness calm that
was almost agonizing An indescribable
sensation held us to the instrument, while
our hearts seemed to cease pulsating. We
kept our eyes fixed on the glass. Particle
after particle grouped themselves together
so as TO produce the exact form of the
man we knew so well. The form hoated
at about a foot above the body, to which
it was distinctly united by delicate cord
The face was undoubtedly the face of the
man, but much finer and calmer. The
eyes were closed, and the astral shape
seemed to be asleep. By a double i'm
pulse we, both OF US, experienced the
desire that the form should awake. At
that very moment the bond which joined
il TO the body broke. A slight trembling
passed over this beautiful, perfectly
modelled form; a violent flame shone
where the heart should be. 1t stood up
and gave sorrowing look at the aban-
doned body, extended the right hand with
a gesture OF adieu, then vanished, con-
densing into a small sphere, which disap-
peared in the dawn of the everlasting to-
fnorrown
