SAVED BY A GHOST.
Curious Story of a Soecter and thu
Lonely Yorkshire Moors.

Curious Story of a Soecter and ths
Lonely Yorkshire Moors.
1t Is not often that we hear CT p
ghost saving a mans life. There is.
however. an instance. and it seems to
be tolerably well authenticated. and
materialists will hardly know how to
accoun for it. Here is the story. 1t
is of the Yorkshire dales, and of a good
many years ago.
A clergyman whose duty lay in that
wild country. where a strong race OF
men and women lived principally on
bacon and oatcake. used to ride or
walk to visit the people. He had been
raising a subscription in a time of
scarcity and had to be out late at night.
One evening on his outward journey
he suddenly became aware of a figure
moving beside him, and in the gloam-
ing he recognized his brother. who had
died some time before. He was too
awestruck for words. and after keep
ing by his side for some distance over
the lonely moor the figure disappear
ed. He noted the time and the vision.
but nothing occurred to throw any light
rpon it.
However. some years after he had
taken the duty at a Jail in another part
Of the country of the prisoners ly-
ing under sentence desired to make a
confession. After telling him of a lot
of crimes he said: Il wOr very near
once taking your life. sir. 1t was in
that bad year. and | heerd as how you
went carrying money about in those
lonesome daleS. ! hid behind The big
powders of the brown moor. | saw
you coming mp and waited till you
should be near enough but that night
you were not alone"
This is a startling tale and the
stronger because the vision or what
ever il was was seen by two people.
The anecdoae occurs in an article twen-
ty years ago in Macmillan's Magazine
by Lady yerney.
