Three Union In my life, each Instant-
separated ly an Interval of years, hare
the experience tore told been mine.
I tome of n family lo different mem.
tors of which have become visible at
times those appearances which for
want of a better nuiua are known as
"ghosts." It 1m at least possible that
tho superstition regarding the second
sight of one born with a veil may have
some foundation In sclentlflc fact, for
my uncle was thus yelled at birth,
and all bla llfo from lnfuncy vacant
space wns peopled to him with forms,
which bo would describe so accurate
ly In dress, appearance and manner
that listeners would Instantly recog
nize departed friends, gone over years
before my uncle's birth In many in-
ntnnees. ,
It was not till ho was a largo boy
that be realized that the forms seen by
him were not visible to others. Pages
could be written of his eiperlences,
but I am not here to give hearsay evi
dence, but my own personal eiperl
ences. the sights seen with my own
bodily vision.
Tbe first Instance was so early In
my life that I do not recall It, but my
mother relates the clrcumstancea.
Our home was In Brooklyn, and we
had gone for the summer to Green
field Hill, Conn. I was so young that
I still wore dresses and waa In charge
of a nursemaid who was In the habit
of receiving visits from Annie, a girl
of her own chin, ho that I waa well
acquainted with Annie.
She died suddenly and was buried In
the country churchyard, but I was not
told of her deuth, being considered too
young to understand.
As I walked with my nurse past the
cemetery one evening In the edge of
dusk .her superstitious horror can be
Imagined when I cried, pointing di
rectly td Annie's grave: "Ob, Maggie,
there Is Annie! Hhe Is. waving her
hand for us to come over to borH I
broke away from uiy nurse and ran to
tbe cemetery fence, She caught me
up and ran In a panic to the bouse,
nor would she tver again pass the cem
etery after dark.
The only Idea In my mind was that
of a familiar friend whom I bad sot
seen for some time.
The second Instance was at tbe most
unromsntlc age possible to a boy-
about thirteen. I wqs attending board
ing school In Dedhiim, Mass.
A school friend, a boy of about my
age, had left tbe school some days
before for IiIm home In the west, leav
ing In perfect health.
At nlHiut 0 In tho evening I sat on
the edge of the bed removing my
shoes when the wall of tbe mom
seemed to part and open, showing
the night outside, with the dim forms
of. the trees gently waving In the
wind. As 1 sat spellbound at this
strange sight In the rift of the wull
against the background of the night
stood my friend as I hud Inst seen him,
Just ns In life. He waved his hand to
me In token of farewell, stood looking
at me a moment, and gently the vision
faded.
1 said to my roommate, who had
seen nothing; "Charlie Is dead. I have
Just seen him." The next morning a
telegrum to the school snld that he had
died the night preceding.
In the third Instance I had grown to
manhood a normal, healthy man, over
six feet tall nnd weighing nearly 200
pounds. I am a civil engineer, tbe
hardy outdoor life being far removed
from dreams nnd morbid Imaginings.
It was on one occasion necesmiry for
me to consult n lawyer, and one even
Ing I met the lawyer In his Roston of
fice to tulk over a matter of business.
In tho course of the conversation he
asked me question which I was un
decided about answering. I stopped
moment before replying, for eousld-
Jeratlon. lowering my eyes, and, when
I raised them, there stood behind the
attorney a favorite sister, dead mauy
years.
Ifer eyes were fixed on mine, her
Angers on her lips. I . Instantly ab
aorbed tho Idea conveyed by her sug
gestlve pose and did not give the law
yer the information be asked. As It
afterward proved, It was greatly to
my Interest not to do so.
Tho luwyer shivered slightly as the
visitant stood behind his chnlr nnd
said that there was a draft through
the room.
However kuew that the sensation of
cold conveyed to his nervous system
was a breath from nu unseen world.
Science has proved thnt light, sound
aud color are all the results of vibra
tion of greater or less rapidity. Some
of these vibrations affect our senses and
we see, hear or feel their effects. But
what of the vast space filled with those
vibrations which affect pone of our
mines, yet are unknown to science?
Could our senses respond to theirl what
secrets of tho unseen might not be
rovealed, and who can soy but the
secret of these strange sights which
sometimes greet the eye of mortals Is
hidden lu this unknown range of vi
brations, hiding n world that Is, all
about us, mingling with and overlap
ping, surrounding nnd telescoping, our
