OF death, she consistently denied all
khowiedge of the cause Of the strange
happenings, They happened, simply.
Ihat was all she knew.
The house at Agen was occupied bv
a M. Felix. a widower, and his grown
up son. Here the mysterious spirit
manifested itself in a room on the first
MOOR, where slept two little girls, one
the daughter and the other the or
pnah niece Of NJ. Felix. At the begin
hlng there was nothing heard but
scFatchlngs on the woodwork, as If
done by fingernails. This continued
several nights, Then the spirit in
terYened. In a weak voice. more like
NAT OF a woman than a man, it de-
ciared itself to be the father Of the
orphan, and called to her. 1t called
only at night. 1t had little to say, but
was strong in repetition. MY little
Julle!' juliet" My poor child!"
olten when the little girls were
watched there would only come low
moans from the spirit" Then there
would be knocks and poundlngs. Ev-
cry n afirms that these sounds did
not come from the direction Of the
girls, but came from across the room
or from the ceiling. Here at Agen the
trouble lasted only twenty days; for
NJ. Felix tired Of it and moved out OF
the house. The noises ceased. The
little girls were placed in a convent
boarding school. No sounds pursue
them now.
