It was about i've years from the sec
| onu appearance OF the little old man,
| when my grandfather stood on his
doorstep one New Years eve looking
about. Ills wife had started the day
before for a visit to relatives in Indiana
and negro woman was in the house
| to cook fer the men. Fhe white man
and the negro had gone to the sawmin,
situated about half mile away, to
lie the S:lW TOT Tne mOfrOW,S work.
There suddenly appeared before my
grandfather, coming from he could not
| say where, the same little old man, and
lin a voice perfectly familiar he said:
pleasant evening, Mr. Davis. So
| you have made another change. Things
happened up on White river just as s.
told you they would, Ell %
s"They did, and we owe YOU orr
lives replied my grandfather.
.1Mt! tut! But that is nothing! You
are in danger again, and II came to
I warn you.'' 5
Let me tell that my grandfather had
firmly resolved that if the little old
man ever appeared again he would find
out more about him. He was some
what startled over his appearance. but
his mind was made up that he would
prove his caller man of flesh and
blood, or a spook. The little old man
did not come nearer than six feet to
the doorstep, but as he stood there Mr..
Davis planned to spring upon him
should he turn away as abruptly as
on former occasions.
