MEDFORD DAILY TRIBUNE. OREGON, MONDAY, FEBRUARY ir. 100!).
A SAD EXPERIENCE.
"111 tell you, yuuiiK gentli-mi'ii," sulU
the colonel rctUctlvely. "Unit In tutu
life of mine I nave luul at least oue
experience thut would drive some men
to drink." And the colonel looked
urouud suggestively.
The colonel, a one armed veteruu of
the civil war, was the best rat-onteur
of the club aud ua such was eagerly
listened to by the younger generi.tinn.
A tap of the bell brought a round of
bis favorite beverage, and after sam
pling it, with glatsseH in easy reach, we
all settled back In our chairs to listen
to the story that was sure to coine:
"You fellows have all heard how I
lost this arm at 1'ine UUige! When 1
enlisted lu the Twentieth, like many
another young fellow, 1 left a sweet
heart at home whose promise had been
given me, a beautiful, high splritid
girl, who kissed me gmdliy nnd saw
the regiment march away with a cheer
on her lips and but few tears in her
eyes. Before we parted she slipped a
ring on my linger, and as I left she
said: 'Wear this, dear. Itriiig It buck
with you and be true to your Mag and
mo.'
"Well, I wore the ring all through
our long, hard campaign until that j
IMue Htdge cauuou ball came along, j
took away arm tiuu ring una leu me
unconscious on the battlelield. After
a hospital experience I llnally recov
ered suillciently to be Bent home, with
a colonel's commission, discharged as
untlt for duty.
"At the old home I was of course
treated as a hero. The young ladies
luslsted on showing me nattering at
tentions. I was asked everywhere and
was quite the lion of the hour.
"Isabel, my tianeee, was as devoted
as before, I suppose, but her nature
was such that she was too proud to
show her feelings as plainly as my
vanity sometimes wished her to do,
and as a consequence 1 began to think
that she had changed toward me. it
may be that another girl, a little,
plump, black eyed charmer, had some
thing to do with this Idea, but at any
rate I soon began to notice other
charms than Isabel's.
"One night my tianeee nnd I attend
ed a reception, and Sadie, the black
eyed chnrmer of whom I have spoken,
was there also. Isabel and 1 had tired
of mingling with the throng aud had
found a secluded place in the con
servatory. We talked until weary and
sat then in silence when Sadie came
In. She did not see us, and as she
stood by the side of a large palm In an
altitude of unstudied grace I thought
she formed the most beautiful picture
that 1 had ever seen.
' "Almost involuntarily I contrasted
her charms with those of the proud
beauty at my side. To my eyes the
advantage all lay with Sadie. Her
beautifully rounded ligure seemed to
be my Ideal of loveliness, and I wished
that I might clasp her lu my anus
arm, I mean and tell her how sweet
a picture she made. The longing grew
almost too strong to lie resisted, and I
had half risen to my feet, forgetting
Isabel's presence, when 1 was stop
ped by a strange thing that was taking
place. Faintly outlined, a mere va
por at first, but growing plainer with
each succeeding second, where Sadie
stood tin re appeared the ligure of a
man's arm clothed in n soldier's sleeve
of blue.
"The arm slowly curved Itself i
around S idie's waist, and as It tight- j
ened Itself into u linn hug. like a star j
of light, a ring on the hand showed
Itself to my startled gaze. My eyes
seemed t i be stnrtlng from my head
in amazement, for the ring was that
which Isabel had given tne. and the 1
baud that I looked at was the exact
likeness cf my missing one.
"A cry at my side of mixed fear
and rage brought me to my senses. ,
Isabel was standing with outstretched
arms p iutlng to the apparition.
'What d this mean. slrV she said.
Her voice aroused Sadie, who, seeing
the Image around her waist, promptly
fainted.
"I havo told this story to severa j
persons, aud but one has ever been
able to give me any explanation. He
was an ascetic from India who was
lecturing on 'The Influence of Mind
Over Mntter,' who told mo that my
desire to embrace Sadie hud been Im
pressed very strongly on my astral
being that my astral being had for
the time got control over my physical
body aud that the arm which I saw
was the arm that I had lost and, be
ing lost, was trying to follow the Im
pulse that would have controlled It
bad It still continued to be a part of
my body and subject to the control of
my mind. Others did not accept this
theory, and some, I regret to say,
were skeptical, while a few did not
hesitate to say that the vision had
been Induced by a large, well devel
oped Jag. You fellows can think as
you please. I leave the solution with
you."
"But, colonel," tried several In pro
test, "what became of the girls? IMd
you marry SudieV"
'Marry! Huh!" grunted the colonel
between swallows. "Don't you know
I was never married? Isabel dismiss
ed me then and there for losing the
ring she bad given me. And Sadie,
when I asked her later to marry me,
replied with 111 concealed IWmr that
she was sorry, but that she could nev
er under any circumstances marry a
piece of a man whose dismembered
fragments were lu the habit of em
bracing evpry woman whom their for
mer owner might take a fancy ti,"
And the colonel set down his empty
glass and went to Join another group

type will bo in nuse in Seattle fur the
