Mans Visit 10 New York
CFrom the sunday Republican,
\ little incident in connection witt
a recent visit to New York by youn'
Brattleboro farmer left an impression
which is not likely 10 be forgotten
Having little leisure, the visitor con
cudcd to look up former chum ant
schooImate with whom he had spcn
many Il day fishing and hunting III ant
about Bratteboro. After securing ar
address from the directory which NJ
assumed to be that of his friend, hC
was soon able to locate the blocks,
through he found it more difficult to
gain an entrance to the room wherc ht
anticipated the visit with the friend
of his boyhood. FINALLY ne was direct
ed to dingy stairway which led io
the top story and to the securely
fastened door ON which he was able to
deciphcr the number for which nc
had searched. After repeated knocks
Il voice from within huskily inquired
his name and tho object OF his VISIT.
A long wait and the door was carefully
opened. For few seconds the visitor
doubted and hesitated, but being as
sured that he had found the Identical
person for whom he was looking, he
rather cautiously stepped inside.
There was something strange and mys
ferrous about the surroundings and the
young farmer almost wished himself
back in his quiet Vermont home. The
anartment with IFS Turkish furnish
ings was dim and weird by the rays
from deep colorcd slsylignt, for there
was no other window. through which
a sort Of luminous GLOW filled the whole
interior
