who lived in the lowly cottage on the slope.
Mrs. BOulon is a spirltualist and in the
peculiar taDgle Of the Poulson case her
name is vowed and interviewer. DR.. Poul-
sons death has forever ended his earthly
troubles. but IN the light of the fulfillment
of one prophecy, which she has made the
story of her prophecy regarding the in
evitable marriage of her son and Deborah
Poulson. may not be devoid of interest.
When Mrs. Boulon first moved into the
little cottage mentioned before it was gen.
orally thought that her only purpose was
to watch the movements of Mrs. Poulson
in the interest of the doctor. But her real
purpose was to watch and. if possible,
heep ward over Deborah of the golden
hair.
The little gray woman is thoroughly
convinced that Deborah belongs TO her,
and that despite all 1t Is inevitable that
she will eventually come TO her. And Mrs.
BoulOn has good reason to be so certain of
this, for not only her guiding spirit but
| legion of other spirits have told her so.
She claims that in her cOmmuniOns with
the deniZens of the ambient atmosphere
they have told her that some 1000 or more
years ago 1t was ordained In the spirit
world that in the nineteenth century there
would De born to the world Deborah Poul-
son Fagerstyerna. who would be- the eternal
mate of John. the son of Mrs. Boulon, and
it was also ordained that Mrs. BOulon
| should have the care and guidance of the
| su-favored Deborah.
What lends peculiar force to this proph-
ecy is the fact that she once prophesied
that death would soon oyertake DIR. Poul-
| son IL he effected recOncilia tiOn with
his wife. The reconciliation was effected
and shortly afterward Dr. POulsOn died.
Will Mrs. Poulson's last prophecy be full
| filled?
ALI her time was not given up to Deb
orab, however. for during DR.. Poulson's
! life she wrote him many letters, some of
which are now in the possession of his
widow. in which she told him of the
strange doings of the tenants of Peter
| hoff; doings as strange as when Count
! Wilhelm himself stalked through the
broad halls. listening to the voices of the
Messiah and Germanicus, oraheld druid
reremonials in his orchard. whilst legions
of spirits circled round Peterhoff's lonely
| spires and roasted on the branches of the
trees. They we're very curious letters,
and one, now in the possession of Miss
POulson. illustrates how certain she is
that Deborah Will one day belong to Mrs,
| Boulon. In the course of il she makes
referencesto the predestined disposition of
Deborah as follows:
Take away that child and fetch her to
matter what they do with the child it's
sure to come into my hands-for God de-
clares it and so 1t will be-"
In commenting on the letter Mrs. Poul-
son said recently: THAT is really all very
ridiculous, but the way she talks about
my child alarms me. This predestina ton
theory of hers seems TO have taken entire
possession of her. and l really fear that
she will steal or try to steal my child. We
are very nervous about it. and are very
careful not TO let little Deborah out of our
sight for fear something might happen,
for don't believe that my Deborah is in
tended as the eternal mate of her son."
