privilege.
The glass hangs between two
windows, is long, and framed
in a rich, dark wood. The mir
ror is rather dim, as if a mist had
gathered on its surface, and at
first nothing but this mist is
noticeable. "The pictures are
best seen at night" said Mr..
Warren, "but we can exclude
the daylight" Then he drew
the curtains and lighted a lamp,
whereupon a change was at once
observed in the aspect of the
mirrors surface. In the center
of the glass a mans head appear
ed, clear-cut as any silhouette
and perfect in every detail.
Then in the left-hand corner of
the glass a hand was seen, each
finger showing clearly and point
ing downward. Near the hand
now appeared a smaller head,
the face looking. outward and
directly at Warren.
"How those eyes follow onen'
he exclaimed. "Some days the
small head is that of a young
girl, while at others it is that OF
an old man." The shadowy
outline grew more distinct, and
it was an old mans face, worn
and wrinkled with age, thai
peered from the mirrors swiftly
changing surface.
Beneath the heads appeared
another picture, like the family
etched outline of an old woods
road. This has come but lately
and changes so that we canno'
be certain what it Is" said War

Of Uncle Samuel's character for

the island authorities that that

Picture was not Tattooed.

Edward Gravel, the expert
tattooer, secured by the Herald
to make an examination of the
picture representing the cruel
fixion of Christ on the back of
Abbott Parker, said to have
resulted by a stroke of lightning,
has made his report.
Parker was found lying on his
back on Mount Kembel avenue,
Morristown, N. j., during a
heavy shower, Friday, and was
taken to All Souls Hospital.
While in the hospital distinct
picture of the crucifiixion grad
ually appeared.
Mr.. Gravel declares that the
picture was never tattooed there,
and that Parker's statement that
he has never been tatooed is
true. No man, except an expert
tattooer, could have done the
work, and an expert would have
been more correctin his drawing,
although the picture is easily
distinguishable. The markings
are just, the color of a fresh burn,
Mr.. Gravel states, and if it were
not for the fact that the impress
sion Of the scene is not raised, il
would appear as though it had
been burned in.
