and felt about the room, but no lamp
was there.
He lit another match, thinking that
he would creep into bed again. But Iol
the bed was gone.
Yes, yes, / tell you, this is true
story. Every word of it happened just
as i am telling it.
! Siegel lit another match and found
that the bureau had disappeared, and
then, with hair fairly standing on end,
he lit another match and made dive
for his clothes, thinking that he would
get into them and out of this mysterious
1 house as quickly as he could.
But his clothes were gone-not even
shoe was left!
He lit another match and another and
another, and every time he did so he
found some other article of furniture
was gone.
At last he had used up all his matches
and he wandered around and around
the room. He found nothing but space;
there was no bed, no chairs, no any
thing but just bare room.
At last, even though he was clad only
in his night robe, he resolved to make
dash for freedom. He felt for the
door knob, and although he found it on
the opposite side of the room than that
by which he entered, he thought it
nothing strange after the experiences
he had been through.
He opened the door with ease, al
though he expected that perhaps it
would defy his efforts. He reached his
hand into the inky blackness,--the
moon was now buried in big black
cloud, and he felt something. 1t was
an arm.
He spoke; there was no answer.
The arm moved and there was a graf
ing sound. Then he touched a clammy
hand and felt the fingers curl around
his. 1t was not the hand of a living
person.
1t must be that of dead person.
But where was the body9
1t must be ghost!
The next thing Siegel knew, several
people were bending over him as he Law
stretched on the floor One was hold
ing something to his lips, another was
bathing his forehead, another was feel.
ing his pulse.
Strange he thought, as he noticed
that the bed was back in its place. that
the bureau was there, and the lamp and
the chairs and even his clothes, just as
he had kicked them off.
Unable to understand it all and feel.

again, but aroused himself to ask:

mlnce pie, when he found out about
the false hand. It was finding that that
finished him up. That made him scream
and fall into a swoon.

hung by the strap swayed back and
