claimed him to be visitor from the great
realm OF mystery.
wild unreasoning fear possessed me,
for in the dim uncertain light I cav my
shadowy visitor glide slowly by my bed,
passing so near that might have touched
him with my outstretched hand. He for
a moment paused as though In deep medi-
tstion, then turning slowly cast upon me
such a glance OF plying sadness as froze
me to the heart.
1t flashed across my startled mind that
the being before me, although human in
form and size, was in reality a messenger,
sent from celestisl1lim to announce to
me my own approaching end, or that OF
some one near 10 me by the ties OF kin.
Then came a wild resolve that II human
power could avert II. he should not make
the object OF his visit known. Let the
future bring about what It may | wished
not to be forewsrned.
Spellbound and fascinated, unable to
move muscle or utter a sound, watched
his steady approach The horrors OF a
nightmare are not to be compared wit
what now experienced, ior resting one
shadowy hand upon my bed, the phantom
form bent over me, aud ,rhispered in my
earl
No clear recollection OF what happened
N the next moment remains, but the spell
was in some manner broken and the spec
ter vanished as mysteriously as II had
come.
Hours passed before my overweight
nerves were quieted, and days before /
even dared to think of what ! had seen.
Now, weeks after, as | look back upon my
thrilling experience, in the light OF what
has since TRANSFERRED, foreibly comes to
my mind the question: was all this hal
lucinstion or reality?
