A GHOST STORY.
Tho Crowd of Phantoms Tint Dazed
Three Young Women.

Tho Crowd of Phantoms Tint Dazed
Three Young Women.
An experience wherein phantoms
presented themselves to view In pro.
diglous numbers simultaneously Is re-
lated by young lady whose name. n,
her request. is withheld, the narrative
being Endorsed by her sister. who was
with her Mt the time. She writes:
Zone autumn night my sister and
myself, with our maid. were returning
from evening service in the villng,
rburch. There was thick fog. Tho
moon was full, but 1t made sort OF
steam In the fog instead OF shining
brightly. Suddenly saw n man nj
my sisters side. who had como there
without making sound. pulled her
sleeve, whispering, Let the man pass.
AS spoke the man disappeared.
''In another moment we were all be
wildercd at the sight around us. II
was as il we were In n crowded street,
innumernble figures surrounding us
Men. women and children were NOV
Ing briskly about. some singly, others
In groups. but nil without a sound.
Some seemed to rise out Of the grass
on either side OF us and to come out on
the other side. The women were
dressed III bygone fashion, with high
hornets and shawls and large fiounces
on their dresses.
"There wns one very tall man who
took great strides. though perfectly
motionless. We approached our own
gnte. where we should turn in, and
then we had n long driveway to walk
up before we could reach the house.
think that by the time we had reached
the gate all the figures had disappear
ed except this one tall man. He had
quite different look from any of the
others-more horrible altogether. AS
we entered our gate, to our intense re-
lief. he passed by along the rond and
vanished. OF course we were all very
frightened. The maid and my sister
were crying aloud"
In case like this. where the same
spectral phenomena are witnessed by
several persons. the value of the testl-
mony obviously Is multiplied hun
dredfold, for. while one individual may
be n victim of haluclnation. such an
Illusion can hardly be shared by many.
What. then, IS to be said In answer to
such evidence. furnished by deponents
OF unimpeachable character and repu-
tation for truthfulness2 To suppose
that they are combining in the manu-.
facture Of lie is scarcely reasonable.
