HE WHO KNOWS A BOOK.
With NtntT In Imnd nnd dusty "boon,
I walked from mornlnir till IiIkIi noon;
Then rested for n little while
Upon the green Rrnss by n brook,

I'oricot mo muny n mile.
And Ihen upon my way I strode
With bending linck benentb the load,
Until the nlitlit boxet my way
With cheerful ihouht on sons and tale,
Anil so I fare by hill and vale,
Contented day by dny.
Iir ho who knows a book to rond
May travel lightly without steed
And llud sweet comfort on the road.
lie shall forget the rugged wny,
Nor sigh for kindly compnny,
Nor fill nt beuenth bin loud.

If ho has not been tho victim of nn II
IunIoii or an Imposture, I must confess
that his testimony would have roat

It Is certainly a mystery." said
Francois, thoughtfully, "nnd n mystery
which those who buvo never had any

ence to. Hut If this man has not been
mistaken or deceived; If ho can, ns ho
ays, prove sclcutltlcnlly that souls sur
vive bodies, preserve their Identity,
their personality, their memory, and
liuve the power to become material
und visible to living people, what a rev
dilution It will make In philosophy!"
"Oh. how 1 wish I 'might have somo
experience of the klud," sighed a young
tflrl.
"Well, I don't," respondwl ono of the
men. "1 would fear for my reason If 1
should see tho phantom of my mother
come at the call of u medium, And, on
tho other hand, 1 resent tho Idea that
my own houl, when It Is freed from

ne'lf In visibility at the command of u

"One of my friends," snld Kianeols,
tried tho experiment, and It cost him

drawn by the Instinctive delight In the

nnd he related the following!
Pierre Franckel was one of tho best
friends of my childhood. 1 saw him

face of n man. With n dollcncy of col
oring, a Hllghtness of build nnd a soft
HWeetness of volco tho beautiful eyes
gave to my poor friend n chnrni nlmost
effeminate. Hut ho was a manly fel
low und had a great many friends.
Ho was iKJ years old when ho met
Madeline Motirlco nt a bnll given lu the
chateau of Changls. This young girl
was poor but brilliant nnd well born,
beautiful, vivacious and gracious. Her
great black eyes spoko eloquently to
tho blue eyes of Pierre, and ho wns
llred with nn enthusiastic and sincere
love for her. Ho had been a skeptic
on tho subject of love, so that It camo
to hhji with all the force of n now ex
perience, und sho hud nothing to lose
by being compared to former objects of
adoration. Sho wns tho tlrst to enter
his heart, nnd sho took ontlro posses
slon. Sho returned his love nnd accept
ed his prnposnl of marriage.
It took Pierre some time to talk his
family Into consenting to tho mntch,
but qttor they had seen and talked with
Madeline they succumbed to tho chnrni
of her personality. Thoy wero married
nnd hvo took her away Immediately to
a house ho owned lu tho country, where
they lived nlono and reveled In tho pure
nnd happy love thoy had found In each
other.
Then, suddenly, death broko tho
dream. Mme. Franckel died without
any preparation for death, without suf
fering, while sho wns seated at tho
piano playing a sonata of Mozart's, on
a beautiful moonlight evening of sum
mer. Her husband stood leaning
against tho window listening to tho
music nnd brenthlng tho frngnmco of
tho night. Tho music stopped at tho
precise moment thnt tho soul loft tlvj
lady, and Pierre, surprised at tho pause,
turned to Und his wife dead, a sntllo on
her lips, her head resting ngnlnst tho
back or her chair and her lingers still
touching tho keys of the plnno.
For several years tho poor man shut
himself up and would see no one, hid
ing his suffering from tho world as ho
had hidden his Joy. Ono day I called
to see him, nnd on account of our old
friendship I was admitted, 1 found but
n (shadow of tho young man I had
known. His hair was gray, and his
movements betrayed him to bo suffe.'
tug from a nervous dlsenso. Ho soon
spoke of his sorrow nnd gradually
opened his whole heart to mo.
"The question of Immortality Is con
stantly In my thoughts," ho said. "For
Hvo years I have searched philosophy,
studied hypotheses and.questloued reli
gion, nnd 1 am still divided between
faith and doubt, which Is killing me,
If Mndclltio's soul exists It will mani
fest Itself to me. I look for her con
stantly, waking nnd sleeping, and I feel
that she must come. 1 would give all
tho yenrs of life that remain to mo to
see her for ono Instant In all tho sweet
ness of her youth and beauty."
I tried to turn my friend's thoughts
from this Idea, for 1 feared his reason
would glvo wny. Hut he persisted In
his hopo. Ono day ho asked mo If 1
knew a certain Claymore, a Scotch
mnii, who had made qulto a stir In Paris
ns a uudltim. Ho was a peculiar man,
undoubtedly sincere, and 1 had enjoyed
meeting him several times.
"You must Introduce mo tb hi in, said
Pierre. "Ho has ovoued spirits Into
material form, and If he can bring Mad
elluo's to mo I will owe. him more than
my life."
1 used all my power of persunslon
against this decision, hut he was tint),
and tlnally 1 gave In. 1 Hrst went to
Claymore, however, and told hi in my
friend's history and begged him not to
nbuso credulity brought about by ex.
treiuo suffering.
"I can glvo him what he wants," re

piled tho Scotchman. "Tnko mo to
him. You may trust mo."
"Will you permit tho prcsenco of a
witness!"
"Certainly."
Tho next dny Claymore, accompanied
by a medium, entered the house whero
Mme. Franckel had died live years bo
fore. It was In June. The villa, with Its
closed windows, seemed to desire to
keep out the soft beauty and warmth
of tho night air. Inside the house all
was dark mid chilly. As Plcrro met us
he shivered.
"If her soul lives." he said, "It Is In
this room." Ills volco shook with mln
glod Joy nnd fear.
"For tho last time," snld I, "do not
commit nn act at once sacrilegious nnd
dangerous." Hut ho did not even hear
me. ,
The medium wns n young woman,
pnlu and slender, who tlxed her Idol
izing looks on Clnymore's fnce. Tho
light lu tho room was very dim, coming
from a single candle, which stood
above the tlreplnce. Tho window hnd
been opened wldo nnd the moonlight
came faintly In. The spiritualist put
out the cnudlo nnd led tho young wom
an Into a dnrk corner of tho room.
Then In n low, solemn volco ho abjured
the spirit of the dead woman to mani
fest Itself.
"Oh, my sister," snld he, "my un
known sister, depnrted from this earth,
coino back for ono Instant In tho mn
terlnl form you once took on. Appenr,
evoked by faith and love. Comol Mad
eline!" Ills voice roso and grow ar
dent, while tho medium became con
vulHcd with trembling movements.
All at once Plcrro cried, "Listen!
Listen! Tho sonata of Mozart!" '
A harmony, light and soft ns a sigh.
floated from tho motionless keys of tho
plnno, which stood Just within tho pnlo
stream of moonlight.
"She is coming," snld Clnymore, sol
emnly, stretching out his hnnd.
"Madeline! Madeline!" cried, Pierre,
fulling on his knees,
I nm teillng you what I snw or
thought I saw. Tho room wns dark
snvo for the 0110 thread of moonlight
which touched the plnno nnd traced a
line upon the floor. Suddenly the mys
terious music ceased and In the moon
light, ucfora tho piano, the whiteness
seemed to tlilckon nnd slowly to form
Itself Into the contours of the human
body. More dtstlnco It grew until I
snw sitting there a woman dressed In
a long, Mowing gown of white, her head
back against ber chair and a smile on
ier pale lips,
Pierre hnd sprung to his feet
"It Is you, my beloved!" he cried, and
with outstretched arms ho moved to
ward the whlto figure and fell at It
feet.
At the sound of tho fall I throw off
with a great effort the spell which held
me ami ran' to him. The figure van
ished and I rnUed my friend, to una
that be had breathed his last nt the
feet of his dead wife. Ho had paid
the price for the vision. On his face
wns nn expression of purest ecstasy.
There was a long pause when Fran
cols finished his story, which told tho
deep effect ho had produced lipon his
hearers. Finally the young woman who
had beeu most eager In her request to
hear tho tale said, In a low voice;
"l'lesiso let's talk of something else.,"
