ODD MYSTERY in PHOTO
Picture of English Girl Shows Fiance
Beside Her Holding Up
lifted Dagger

London.-The astounding story OF
mysterious photographs, which is
vouched for by a well-known London
photographer, is told in the current
number of M. A. P.
A certain young woman named Miss
B., who lives with her mother in one
of the home counties, made an ap-
pointmeDt with the photographer in
question. The sitting was duly given,
the photograph taken, and after the
lapse of week the young woman re-
ceived letter saying the photographs
were not success and asking for
another sitting. She agreed, and as
soon as possible went to London again
and second photograph was taken.
Another Sitting Asked
A short time elapsed, and, as no
proofs were sent, she wrote, making
inquiries, only to receive very apollo
getic letter saying that again the
photographs were failures and asking
for a third sitting. For the third time
Miss B. came to London. She is a
goodnatured girl and contented her.
self with expressing the hope that
this time there would be successful
result In two days she received an
urgent letter from the photographer,
asking her to come up to his studio
and bring a friend with her. AS a re-
suit of this letter Miss B. accompanied
by her mother, paid fourth visit
to the studio, and there the photog-
rapher exhibited the amazing results
of the three sittings.
Pictures Reveal Mystery
The actual photographs of the girl
herself were quite good. But in each
plate there was to be seen standing
beside her the figure of a man hold
ing dagger in his uplifted hand. The
features, though faint, were clearly
discernible, and to her horror Miss B.
recognized them as those of her fiance,
an officer in the Indian army. The
effect of this experience was so great
that she wrote to India breaking off
her engagement.
