SAVED BY PRESENTIMEN
Strange and Mysterious Warnings
Needed In Time to Escape Death.

II want to tell you story" said DR..
Molere, well known physician. 'Tm
not a supersttious man, nor do believe
in.dreams, but for the third or fourth time
in my life was saved by premonition.
Lgot aboard car No. 81, on the Suffer
street line, at the ferry, to ride up to my
office. AS usual walked to the forward
end of the car, took a seat in the corner
with my back to the driver, and, pulling
a, paper from my pocket, was soon deeply
engrossed in the news. Suddenly some
thing said to me, go to the other end Of
the car
"Acting on impulse 1 changed my
seat, and so rapid were my movements
that the other passengers in the car
noticed them. Remember, was sitting
in the first place with my back to the
driver. I was paying no attention to
anything but my newspaper, and the
premonition, if I may so call it, could
not have come from any outside inffu-
ence, such as seeing approaching danger;
but, sir, had not been in my new seat
more than five seconds when the tongue
of a heavy loaded wagon crushed through
the side of the car Just where had been
first seated, and had not changed my
seat my back would have been broken
by the wagon tongue.
GAS said" continued the doctor 81
am not superstitious, but the incident I
have just related, taken in connection
with other incidents of similar nature
occurring in my life, makeme believe IN
spite of myself that there is divinity
that shapes our ends, rough-hew them
how we will"
In answer to a question as to what
similar warning or premonition of dam
ger he III ever received, DR.. Moliere
said: "Well, one. time was riding on
the Michigan Central railroad. 1t was
bitter cold night, and when I entered
the car my feet seemed frozen. I walked
forward and took a seat next to the
stove in the forward part of the car,
putting my feet on the fender. II a
short time gentleman changed his seat
and came and sat beside me. The
train was running at high rate of speed,
and the draught soon made the heater in
the car red hot. Suddenly there came
to me a premonition of danger, and
turning to my companion | said: IF we
should meet with an accident, a collision,
for instance, you and i would be in bad
place. We would certainly be hurled on
that red hot stove
cat the same instant, and before my
seat mate could rerly, the impulse to
grasp the end of the at came upon me
so strong I could not sist it, and hard
ly had my fingers closed upon the rail OF
the seat when there came a crash, and
the car we were in was thrown violently
from the track. chung to the seat, and
my companion, when thrown forward,
narrowly missed the stove. My position
in the seat was such that had l been
pitched headlong as he was I could not
have missed the heater. A broken rail
caused the accident, but what caused me
to grasp the seat as l did would like tc
know ,"

Her first thought was of danger to
Honore Chauvin; for in those days the
hot French blood rarely cooled without
first having boiled over in deadly fight.
What Pierre Nation did was to go
straight to his friend Honore Chauvin
and slap him in the face.
''That for Marie de Noyantr' he ex-
claimed, still choking with the desperate
choler excited by his sense Of defeat.
"That for you" he went on, repeating
the insulting blow. Then he turned and
left Honore, well knowing what would
follow.
The challenge was promptly sent and
as promptly accepted.
The following morning at little past
sunrise the combatants, with their Sec
onds and surgeons, met in small open
space where two or three little wildwood
roads, dim and struggling, crossed each
other in the forest part of what was then
known as the Toulme plantation. They
were to fight with swords
The weapons were measured, positions
chosen, the word given, and the fight to
the death was begun by thin, keen,
far reaching clink of steel crossing steel.
Many time had these young men,
now eager for each others blood, fenced
in manly play, and well did both know
how equally were they matched, and
how doubtful was the outcome of the
struggle they were beginning. Both
were pale, but cool and wary; in Their
ewes burned the hateful fire of unforgiv.

however, was not so easy, for Pierre

Their swords cut the air with kissing
swiftness and filed the space with a

THIRTEEN YEARsINARcr,cssAs
Terrible Discovery Of a Sea Captain
Over One Hundred Years AGO.
GSheflield telegraph

one evening IN the middle of August,
ITO, Capt. Warren, the master of a
Greenland whale ship, found himself be-
Gained among an immense number of
lcebergs in about n degs. north latitude.
Theywereo of immense height and wedged
together, and a succession of snow COW
cred peaks appeared behind them as far
as'the eye could reach, showing that the
ocean was completely blocked up in that
quarter.
Capt. Warren did not feel altogether
satisfied with his situation, but there be-
ingno wind he could not move, and he
therefore kept a strict watch, knowing
that he would be safe so long as the bergs
kept their situation. One night after a
violent storm the captain found that his
shipAhad sustained no serious injury, and
that the accumulated icebergs had be-
come disarranged and separated, and
that a kind Of canal had been formed
through which his ship could pass.
After he had proceeded few miles a
ship'made its appearance about midday.
The sun shone brightly at the time.
At first the bergs prevented the CAP
tain from seeing much of her but her
masts, but he was struck with the strange
manner in which her sails were disposed
and with the dismantled aspect of her
yards and rigging. She continued to go
before the wind, and then grounded and
remained motionless. The captains Gu
riosity was SO much excited that he i'm
mediately jumpedsifto a boat with sew
eral of the crewand rowed toward her.
On approaching her he observed thatshe
was considerably weather beaten, and
not soul appeared on deck, which was
covered with snow to a considerable
depth. He then hailed her crew several
times, but no answer was returned.
Previous to stepping on board an open
port hole caught his eye, and ON looking
into it he perceived man reclining back
in chair with writing materials on a
table before him, but the feebleness of
the light made everything indistinct.
The party went upon deck, and hay
ing removed the hatchway, after a few
moments pause they descended to the
cabins. They first came to the apart
ment which Capt. Warren had viewed
through the port hole. A tremor seized
him as he entered it. Its inmate still
retained the same position and was insen-
sible of the entrance of strangers. He
was found to be a corpse, and green
damp mould had covered his cheeks and
forehead and yelled his open eyebaIls.
He had pen in his hand, and the log
book lay in front of him.
Neither fuel nor wood could be found
anywhere, and the captain was prevent
ed by the superstitious prejudices of his
seamen from examining the vessel as
infinitely as he could wish. He there
fore carried away the log book, returned
to his own ship, and steered to the south
ward deeply impressed with the awful
example which he had just witnessed of
the dangers Of navigating the Polar seas.
On returning to England he-made in
quiries respecting vessels that had disap-
peared, and by comparing results with
| the documents he ascertained the name
and history of the frozen ship, and found
she had been there thirteen years previ-
GUS to the time of his discovering hey

cart, ran away through the forest as fast
as his legs could carry him. The move
ment whisked the lines out of Maries
grasp, and SO she lost control. Discover
ing his freedom, and crazed with fright,
the hitherto gentle htte,animal now be-
came a savage and terrible beast, reck-
less of everything, giving no attention to
road or direction.
The reader will understand at once
how the catastrophe came about at the
dueling ground, for the pony, accident
ally heading itself that way, ran madly
and blindly upon the combatants. 1t
was found dead a half mile from the spot,
with Pierre's rapier sheathed to the hit
in its breast. Ithad struck the weapons
point Just as it was about to dart into the
heart of Honore Chauvin.
The strangest part Of the whole adven-
ture was that Marie escaped without
even the slightest hurt.
The young men. were borne to the
nearest house, where for many hours
they lay side by side insensible. Honore's
hurts were nearly,fatal, and Pierre was
crippled for life. In the course of their
convalescence they both received the
gentle and untiring care of Marie, and
before they were able to leave the horse
their friendship had been restored.
Aunt Clothilde, very old colored
woman, who speaks nothing but the
French patois of the creole country, is
the only survivor of the slaves owned by
Marie de Noyant's father at the time Of
the duel. You may, if you will visit
her in her little house on Hospital street
in New Orleans, have the story, that |
have here sketched, told to you in the
most picturesque way, and it always
ends with minute description of how
beautiful Marie looked in her white
wedding gown when she and Honore
| Chauvin were married.
In the course of frequent and long
soiourps in the old French region of the
south have made note of many roman
tic odd or otherwise interesting stories
of dueling, but none of them seems tc
me more strange than this told me by
Aunt Clothilde.

the duel was fought and while tried
