A PHANTOM COACH.

II Is a Messenger of Death to an Eng
lish Family.
Up the drive of certain manor
house situated in one of the southwest
counties of England a phantom coach
with spectral horses and driver is al
ways heard or seen prior to the death
of the head of the family or of some
important member of it,
On one occasion of quite recent years
n number of gentlemen and two ladies
who formed a portion of the house
party at Christmas were startled on
their return at dusk to hear the sounds
of several horses hoofs coming up the
drive. Upon turning, all the party
saw an old fashioned coach with a
team Of four white horses advancing
toward them. They drew aside, and
as the coach passed them the two
ladies screamed and fell almost faint
ing in the arms of their companions.
One was the daughter of the house.
All retired to rest about II O'Clock,
some, no doubt. TO think over the mys-
FERROUS appearance of the coach and
others TO sleep. Early in the morn
ing telegram, which had been dis
patched too late the previous night for
delivery, came to hand, conveying the
intelligence that the only son of the
house had been drowned while wild
fowling in the fens.
1t was nearly forty years before that
the coach had last been seen. although
seventeen years previously it had been
heard to drive up to the front door
and away again down the avenue in
the middle of the night. On this oc-
casion the head of the family had died
In his sleep the next night.

THE big rooms at Hewington
Acres were empty and very
still long before midnight, but
= the Cherub continued to sit in
the library, smoking and meditating.
He had trick when watching an IN
steady market of tearing pieces OF pa
per into small bits and throwing them
away. He was doing this now, and
the eastern rug under his feet looked
as If it had been visited by a stage
snowstorm. He was aroused by an
odd noise. 1t sounded as If some one
was dragging a heavy object down the
stairs.
Looking out through the door hang
ings, he could see the lower half Of the
staircase. For a moment he waited,
and then there appeared the Countess
Vecchi, Juggling at a dress suit case
which was evidently well filed She
was dressed as If for the street, with
a light silk dust coat over her black
gown and a jaunty straw hat on her
head. When she saw the Cherub she
seemed startled and shrank back
guiltily.
''Oh," she exclaimed. "I-I did not
expect to find you here. I am going
away"
Are you? Do you generally start
alone and in the middle of the night?"
The Cherub had walked out into the
hall.
IL don't care TO talk to you about
it, Mr.. Devine. 1 am going away, 1

If they might fill with tears at any
moment.
"All right, all right" he said sooth-

The Countess Vecchi allowed the
suit case to slide to the floor, and then
she faced him resolutely.

head there appeared a heavy scab a
quarter Of an inch thick. It was aw.
