eager about 1t that he acceded to her
wishes and remained with her in the paint
| ing room-she painted beautifully in oils,
| and was copying picture of the 'Mise1s
which was at Holkham. But the IA lernoon
was excessively beautiful. and Lady And
| overs strong impression, which had been
| SO vivid in the morning. then seemed to
wear on, till at last she said:
We'll, really. perhaps l have been
selfish in keeping you from what you like
so much because Of my own Impressions:
so now, If you care about going out, don't
let me keep you in any longer
And he said:
"'Well. If you don't mind, 1 snoulu GER
tainly like to co. and he went.
He had not been gone long before lady
Andovers impressions returned just as
yividly as ever, and she rused upstairs and
put on her bonnet and pursued him. But
as she crossed the park Sc met her nus
ban>. own servant riding furiously w4..l-
out his coat.
Don't tell me- she said at once. I know
what has happened and she went back
His servant was handing him a gun
through a hedge. 1t went OFF and he was
| led on the spot"
While in Rome in 1870 Mr. Hare heard
| the following dream story:
Lady Vernon dreamed that she saw the
| butler. with a knife in one hand and a
| candle In the other, crossing the entrance
hall. and she awoke with great start.
After awhile she composed erself to sleep
| 1cln0 s,I~~
she saw the butler, with knife in one
| hand and candle in the other. the
| middle of the staircase, and she awoke
with great shock. Sc got up: she thought
she could not be quite WE'LL and she took
! a little salvolatie. At last she fell asleep
again. and she dreamed-she dreamed that
she saw the butler, with knife in one
hand and candle in the other, standing
at her bedroom door, and she awoke in a
great terror, and she jumped out of bed,
and she Said
I'm have end Of this; I'll have an
end of these foolish imaginations."
I'll And she rushed to the door. and she
, threw the door wide open. And there at
te door stood the butler. with KNIFE in
| one hand and a candle in the other. And
when he suddenly saw Lady Vernon in her
white nightdress, with her hair streaming
down her back. he was so dreadfully
frightened that he dropped the candle on
the floor and rushed off down the STAIR
case and off to the stables, where there
was horse ready saddled and bridled. on
which he meant to I've ridden away when
he had murdered Lady Vernon. And he
rode away without ever having murdered
her at all, and he was never, never, never
heard of again.
Lord Denbigh sent the following story
to Mr. Hare of a supernatural vision which
he had heard from Henry Malet in 1859:
h In the winter of 1915 Malet was in Paris
and saw a good dea! of Palgrave Simpson.
the dramatic author.
One evening after dinner Simpson ex.
pressed himself a believer in clairvoyant
phenomena. A few weeks afterward Malet
received an offer to RETURN to London and
hold himself in readiness to embark Coz
the Crimea with his regiment. On the
night before his departure for Malta he re-
/ ceived a note from Simpson inclosing an
antique ring. The note said:
do not laugh at me, but while you are
in the Crimea wear the inc1osed ring. 1t
was given to me by the last representative
Of an old Hungarian family on her death
bed. In her family it was an heirloom and
considered as a most excellent talisman to
preserve the wearer from any external
HARM"
Malet slipped the ring on his finger with
out attaching any great Importance to the
matter. and the next morning sailed from
Portsmouth We will lie. him tell the re.
mainder of the story:
1--WE touched at Gibraltar, but 1t was
not till our arrival at Malta that heard
from my family. Then I found letter
from my mother, dated from Frankfort
on the very day of our sailing from Eng
land. 1t said:
"I have been quite broken-heartec
about you, and could find no comfort any,
|. where but now all Is changed, for mos,
, extraordinary reason. This morning as
, lay in bed in broad daylight, and after my
maid had brought my hot water, just as
was about to get up, a most beautiful
young lady, very fair, and dressed in gray
silk drew aside the curtain of my bed
and leaning over me. said: DO not be
| unhappy about your son; no harm shat
happen to him."
90 am quite certain have had vision
vet it seemed as If l were awake: certainly
l was SO the moment before this happened
, The whole thing is as distinct as possible
and as unlike an effect of imagination Oh
course l cannot account for it, bus it has
made me quite happy and I know you viii
come back safe.
ION receipt of this letter i bethougt me
of the ring and begged my mother to repl,
to describe infinitely the appearance of tbs
mysterious visitor. My mother said It wa:

between me and my mother between tn
