midst of o remark, when suddenly the
Judge dropped the ines.
"Look!" he whispered. There, ovel
the dashboardl7 he said.
"I see nothing" said his companion
what do you mean?"
Judge Phillips sat as if spellbound
though his companion was unable to
see anything but the empty air. Before
him, for several minutes, there stood
the image of his old friend who had
said: al shall look you in the face
again before I die" He was there

if he were standing on air, just be
fore the dashboard.
Judge Phillips does not often tel
the story, but when he does he says:
81 never saw a human being more
plainly than 1 saw him standing there
before me and looking in my face.
How long the vision lasted he could
not tell, but at last it seemed to melt
into air, and the judge picked up the
lines and drove on.
His friend was inclined to laugh al
him, and he himself made no attempt c
account for the strange happening. But
early next morning he received a tele-
gram announcing that on the day be,
fore, at the very time when he was TAX
ing his drive, his friend had died sud
| denly.
Was it warning? Did his friend have
a premonition when he said: Il will
look you in the face again?" Judge
Phillips cannot explain the story. Its
narration affects him deeply, and he
probably has not told it TO more thar
half dozen persons, though it occurred
years ago. He is not a spiritualist
and no one could be reader than he t.

A PSYCHICAL MYSTERY.
Strange story Told BY Justice
Jesse J. Phillips.
One of the Noted IiriEois Jurist's
Friends Appears in spOOIs Form
at the Very Moment of His
Departure from Earth.

Jesse ]. Phillips, one of the judges OF
the Illinois state supreme court, re-
elected recently, told strange story
not long ago of his experience with a
"spook." 1t was told at Hillsboro, H.,
his home for many years, and which is
situated not far from the uncanny
place where the spirit from the other
world appeared. 1t occurred in this
way, according to the judges version
to the ST. Louis Globe-Democrat. Many
years ago he had friend who was to
him as Jonathan to David. Together
they discussed almost every theme OF
science, philosophy and ethics. They
paid one another frequent visits. Their
homes were in towns several miles dis
tant. On one of these visits the judge
noticed that his friend seemed to be
in unusually robust health, and he re
marked about it. He was much sur
prised to see his friend grow suddenly
serious and say: Il shall look you in
the face again before die" Non
sensel" replied the judge, don't talk
of dying! You are good fora dozen
years yet. I'm more likely to die than
you are!" His friend smiled and DE
gan more cheerful subject of con-
versation, but as the time came TO say
good-by he repeated his remark. RE
member" he said, 81 have promised
will look you in the face again before
/ die"
Days and weeks passed on, and Judge
Phillips soon forgot the speech, for he
was not man who placed much faith
in warnings, signs and the like. One
summer day his thoughts were far
away from death or ghosts. He was
riding with a friend over the smooth
country roads of Montgomery county.
They talked of the beautiful landscape,
of golden wheat, green waving oats and
forest trees beyond. The judge was

Garden street school, which formerly

rounds of cards and shooting. One Of
the number was William Rice, who was
in the front of the exercises at the bar.
The hilarity continued until all the boys
were bowling drunk, and several free
fights occurred, without serious results.
Then one of the fellows conceived the
brilliant idea of saturating Rice with
brandy and setting fire to him. He
got two gallons of brandy and poured
it over Rice, and tipped the wink to
another drunken companion, who
touched lighted match to Rice's
clothes. There was flash and in an
other instant Rice was enveloped in
flames. He jumped straight up, gave
a whoop of surprise and pain and be-
gan running around in a circle, tear
ing off his clothes as he ran. The 40
drunken cowboys shouted and yelled
with laughter at his antics, pulled out
their guns and fired volley after volley
in the air.
Rice rapidly became sober in his ex-
citement, and contrived by rolling on
the ground and tearing at his clothing
to put the fire out before he burned to
death. He was horrible sight, with
only part of his trousers left uncon-
sumed, and his hands. face and legs
badly burned Fortunately, he did not
breathe the flames and was not burned
in vital part. so that he will soon re-
cover.
The cowboys took another round Of
drinks. fired round or two and sep
arated. There were no arrests.
