SAW The GHOST IN REAL LIFE.
1t Was the Means Of Saving Two
Women from Death.
Childyen Warned OF Their Mothers
Death by q Vision.

The events here related were told to
me by persons intimately connected with
them-pergons who in the ordinary af-
fairs of life would be believed, says a
writer in the Detroit Free Press.
Miss A.. was a strong, healthy English
girl. exceedingly sensible, and ore who
was a scoifer of ghosts. Like the other
woman, she did not believe in ghosts,
but unlike her she was not afraid OF
them.
She was invited to stay at a friends
house in Ireland, and his house had n
haunted room. Miss A. asked permits
sion to sleep in the haunted room, and
the permission was reluctantly granted,
for those in the house thoroughly be-
licycl in the ghost.
1t was nearly midnight when Miss a..
went to the haunted room, which was
situated in the front part or the mousse
overlooking the carriage drive mat leu
to the entrance. She looNed around the
room, which was furnished in "A modern
manner, and saw nothing to dispuict
l.er, but as she was preparing for bed
she heard a carrigae come up the drive
and apparently stop at the front door
Astonished that any visitor should ar
rive so late, she parted the curtains ana
looked out. 1t was ii lovely moonlight
night, the moon shining fun on NE
front of the place, making the drive
rs light almost as DAY, ,,o doc,
she saw standing opposite ihS uoot
two black horses and n closed nearsS.
The driver had got down. from his seat
and was standing by the horses. l9uKins

Those who told me the story look
upon this as n hint that we should not

in Ireland was the means OF saving her
life, quite ignoring the fact that If she

pectedly one night about s o'clock. so
unanticipated was this event that her
husband was from home at the time.
He was sent for and arrived about mid
night.
There were two children, little girls,
aged eight and twelve. Their governess
asked Mr.. \. whether he or she would
tell them of the sad event of the night
before. The father said he would break
the news to them, and he said further
more that he did not wish them to see
the body, but preferred they should re-
tain the recollection they had of their
mother from seeing her while she was
alive.
his little girls end found them awake,
He told them as well as he could that
their mother had had to go away. and
that they would not be able to see her

The younger girl eorrob9rated this,
to sleep again quite contented. They
had been talking over their mothers
visit when the father entered the room
in the morning.
AS far as Mr.. X. could learn, no one
had told the children OF their mothers
death.
