Tho whole country for miles and miles

few nights ago, Mrs. Fred Daniels,
.,o wife of one of the best known and
os+ highly esteemed citizens of the
county. met with an experience, If it
nov he so termed, which will follow her
.bronch the remainder of her life.
# was between the hour of 8 and 8
o,cIock. and Mrs. Daniels was preparing
fl retire. She had partially disrobed and
olaced basin of water on the floor for
,be purpose of taking foot bath. While
handing over the basin, Mrs. Daniels felt
o+fckling sensation about her head and
lover limbs, and being directly under
Nbe mantle she supposed that bottle of
medicine had overturned and called to
her husband, who was in an adjoining
room. to come and pick it up. He came,
hnt couldn't find the overturned bottle
that his wife spoke of. About two feet
from her char, however, he noticed
,eyera drops of fresh blood, and re-
marked to his wife that evidently the cat
had been eating rat in the room. With
this the wife rose to secure cloth and
wipe the blood stains from the floor.
She walked over to wash stand in the
corner of the room, which contained
several towels, and would have pulled
one from the drawer, but just as she was
in the act of SO doing, she felt the same
trickling sensation about the face and
lower limbs. At the same time she heard
faint noise, as the sound of water drip
ping on the floor. The next moment
Mrs. Daniels was almost paralyzed with
fright and received a terrible shock.
About three feet above her head, coming
from no one will ever know where, was
small stream: OF blood. 1t came square
ly against her forehead, down her face
and gown, and on to the floor Mrs.
Daniels stood speechless for few sec
onds, and then in a voice hardly recog-
nizable as hers, called to her husband,
and rushing to the bed threw herself
across the white sheets, which in mo-
ment were Redeemed and wet with the
crimson fluid.
laying on the bed, face upward, Mrs
Daniels could continue to see the stream
Of blood, this time it was falling about
her feet. The husband, who had quickly
responded to the wife's alarming call,
was Mortified when he entered the room
and saw the pools of blood about the
floor and his wife's agOnized and bloody
plight. The blood was still dripping and
dropping about the ladys feet, which
could be plainly seen by her but not by
her husband He could see it, after 1t
touched his wife's garments, and the
floor, and the smell of fresh blood, which
permeated the room, was very nausea
ting, but the stream itself was visible
only to the wife.
Leaving the bed Mrs. Daniels rushed
out into the hall and seated herself into
chair. AS she ran the stream pursued
her, aid when she sat down there was
soon pool abouther
The husband, realizing that his wife
was apt to die Of fright, ran to the front
door and began to call loudly for help.
Several of the neighbors Immediately
answered the summons. Just as they as
eended the steps the blood ceased 10 fall.
There was the lady, however, almost
cIlzed with fright, wringing her hands
and crying most piteously, her garments
aPparently almost bathed in blood, while
aEoand her were drops of blood on the
loor.
This the neighbors saw as they entered
ue front door, and an explanation was
lnmedi ltely requested of Mr. Daniels. OF
course he could give none, but could
simply relate what had taken place. As
soon as the first excitement subsidized the
lazy was undressed, the blood washed
UOm her, and she was placed in bed,
around which several watched during
le night and tried to quiet her constant
y arising fears. The blood was wiped
