What Was 1t?

A Mr.. ErWell WAS staying a. an VI"
farmhouse occupied bv Mr.. george White
and his wife, together with the former
aged mother. The younger son, Iom'
was a naval engineer. absent on long
voyage.
On night toward the end of Mr.. Err

spending the evening with ne'ghbor'
Erwell and old Mrs. White sat before the
wide. old. fashioned hearth of the kiteh-
en-, chatting over old times, and lapsing
now and again into meditative silence.
In the midst of such pause, Mrs,
White suddenly seized her companion ny
the arm, and, pointing to the fire, SAID
in an awe struck voice, Look
To his amazement. Erwell saw that
the ruddy glow of the coal was slowly
losing it's color. Even as he looked,
indeed, the fire became perfectly black,
Now there came a dull sound OF ham
merinp on metal. 1t ceased as abruptly
as it began. A door opened at the back
of the CRATE and man appeared, bear
ing in one hard hammer. in the other
n candle. Ii was Tom White, the naval
engineer.
The figure came into the CRATE, looked
around, placed the candle on the floor;
then, taking tool from his pocket, ad-
vanced to the corner of the fireplace, and
seemed to be repairing something.
This finished, he took up the candle
and returned to the door by which he
had entered 1t was shut.
He turned his head tor a moment, and
Erwell saw on his face look OF horror
and dismay. Quickly he set down the
candle, and raising the hammer. beat on
the door with all his might.
Desistng from this, he began walking
rapidly to and fro, look of agony on
his face. Next, he knelt moment. as ii
in prayer, but quickly was up again and
franticly hammering on the door. And
now he kept lifting his feet RAPIDLY, as
though the floor was burning them, and
seemed to be gasping tor breath. The
candle melted to running grease, and
suddenly Tom White fell to the floor,
and on his face was look of terrible sui
ferinp Twice he rolled over and then
Law still. His limbs seemed to shrivel up;
an odor of burning filled the room-and
suddenly the whole thing vanished.
The fire resumed it's ordinary light. and
Erwell, rousing himself with an effort,
gave long shuddering sigh, murmur-
ing:
what a terrible dream"
With that he turned to the old lady
by his side She was dead!
About monthlater Mr.. George White
received a letter from foreign port, de-
failing his brothers death nnder the fol-

A Country Sunday

More fair than all the other DAYS
She dawns upon our sight.
Some holy spell is in the air,
New radiance in the light
That sweeps the waking village street
And makes the dcwy dooryards sweet.
Still is the rivers busting din,
The mill wheel is asleep.
The hands of labor filled with flowers
Rest III the silence deep;
No ruder noise is there afloat,
Than music from robins throat
Even the wild fields seem to know
That it is Sundays face
That beams upon them with so tair
And delicate grace;
The smallest blossom on the sod
Seems holding some new thought ofGod
The fragrant breezes whisper rest
The Sunday faces glow
With some still brightness from within
The week days never know.
The Sunday step is light as air,
The Sunday JOY is everywhere,
And when the shadowy evening falls
And soft stars edge the hills,
A peace that is not in the world,
The brooding silence fills.
There is no dread of morrow's care,
The blossoms fold like hands in prayer
And all the weary, heated week
Sweet remnants of her rest,
The heart beats softly till once more
She comes with healing blest,
And the clear mucic of the bells
Again upon the silence swells.
