last earthly rites and slowly passed By
the bier. looking sadly down upon the
pinched face mirrored beneath the
glass cover of the casket. And last Of
all. convtlsed with sorrow, came the
despairfng mother. She bent over the
cold form Of the girl who had been so
dear to her, her tears falling upon the
polished glass surface. when suddenly
she started back with an exclamation
Of surprise. The eyes of the dead girl
had opened with a slow. panied ex-
preston. and as soon as the casket
cover was removed she sat bolt up
right and after gazing about for a few
moments closed her eyes again and
YEARLY exclaimed:
"Oh, mamma, why did you waken
me? I wanted to sleep longer. It's so
dark. Why do you not light the lamp"
In delirium OF delight her mother
told her that 1t was broad daylight.
and begged her to open her eyes and
look on the loving faces of those who
had gathered about her. But her eyes
never opened. She was blind.
AS soon as the story of the miracu-
lous resuscitation became known the
house was overrun with callers. The
Rev. A. Y. Skee and wife with the
Gev. ]. G. Garrick were among the
first to visit the strangely afflicted girl.
Both clergymen. set about at once to
test the remarkable power of vision
and speak in wond-r of what they saw.
Though her eyes are fixed and immov-
BILE by any act of her will. little Ethel

perfectly. though at first she was diff
dent about herself. Her descriptions Of
heaven were remarkable for their poet
ical brilliancy, and at night when she
refused to let any one sit up with her
she told of the visits of the angels.
They gave the girl an unopened maya
zine after dark, when complete dark
ness enshrouded the room. Carelessly
she slipped her hand between the pages
and told all the contents of the one
her fingers rested upon. Though her
previous revelations had prepared them
for wonders, this last test amazed them
Taking the magazine from her and
marking the page, they bore it to the
light and 10! and behold, she had read
it word for word. Numerous other
tests developed the same astonishing
results. A visitor handed her a mag
nifying glass which none present knew
was possessed of the power of re-
versing the objects that came under it.
Ethel had no sooner received it than
she passed her hands over the sr-face
and laughingly exclaimed that she
could see every one in the room, but
that they were turned upside down.
Such, indeed, was the prediction of
The glass was source of special de-
light to her. She could turn it towards
the object she desired to see, pass her
hands over it's surface and loOk at any,
thing she wanted. A few days later she
surprised her visitors and her parents
as well by telling them of great flock
of sheep which she was looking at graz
ing on a hillside. She noted carefully
their movements and described them
in detail Investigation revealed the
fact that the same flock of sheep she
had described were being pastured a
mile and half away from her home
just as she had seen them. She told as
well Of watching threshing machine
at work on a farm an equal distance
from the house, which was also true,
and every afternoon she would laugh
ingly depict the games that were being
played by her companions at school,
many rods away, and entirely hidden
from every eye in the room but her own
keen vision. The games were always
found to have been identically as she
described them, and now her little
schoolmate, undisturbed by the issue
her curious case takes with science,
and accepting her peculiarly weird
power as a matter of course, daily en-
acts her favorite sports that she may
enjoy them in her far distant home,
while they make merry at school.
Through daylight or dark, her mys-
terious vision penetrates and she revels
in their pleasures. And always the
weary lids are drawn taut and isamov-
able over sightless eyeballs, and this
wonderful little girl reads, writes and
happily views the world through her
dnfc.r-tips while the hosts of science
and medicine ponder learnedly, but fu-
tilely. From the grave little Ethel
Gillian has come back to dwell half on
earth. half in heaven. the wonder of all

reaper, to all external appearances,
gathered her into his dark harvest,
while grief-stricken parents and sor-
Friends took last parting look at the
dear face and then turned away as a
heart-broken mother sobbed out her
grief. Heavy indeed was the pail that
cruel death laid upon the Gillian
household. But the coffin was never
sealed and the yawning grave still
awaits the youthful occupant for which
1t was opened. Little Ethel Gillian,
mourned as dead, still lives and talks
and breathes,a merry being Of the world
ana the wonder of PalOuse, where she
was born and reared. Hundreds have
learned of her marvellous resuscitation
and hOcked to see her until E>r fame
has spread far beyond the confines Of
her little native town. But she is blind
now, totally blind, as scientists define
optical sightlessness, and where once
the sun shone bright and clear before
that fatal illness fell upon her. her
eyes now see only blackness. Over
fast. They are fixed and paralyzed and
as rigid as her poor little body when
1t was placed in the casket for burial.
Blind she says she is, blind the doc
tors have declared her to be, but her
vision is keener than ever before, and
though her eyes are sightless and
useless, she sees everything that goes
on around her, reads and writes with
ease. speed and accuracy, in daylight
or in darkness. enjoys the beauty Of
pictures. all through her marvellous
finger-tips alone. and when weary of
reading popular magazines. she lies
back among the pillows of her sick
couch and watches the games of her
happy playmates at school, far remov-
ed from the view of even those So
licitOus attendants who ever hover
near her. Startlingly vivid are the de-
scriptions she gives of occurrences
miles away from her which investiga-
ton has never failed to show were
transporting at the very moment she
beheld them. and in just the manner in
which she described them. Nightly
she says she crosses the river of life
into the realms of eternity, there to
dwell till dawn, :. companion of the
angels.
And thus it is while sage old doc
tors and learned scientists study her
remarkable case in perplexity, this lit
tie Palouse girl, though her eyes can
see not, watches the world roll on even
better than she did before this remark
able change came over her. Last sum-
mer Ethel Gillian was a strong, ro-
bust, healthy girl, with the same pro-
pensity to play, the same brisk appe-
tite and the same ability to sleep long
and late that was the heritage of her
companions. Her parents are not rich,
neither are they poor. but have sufi-
cient means to live comfortably and
