A BLACK ROBED MAN
Oue November night some years ngo,
soon after 1 bad been called to the bar,
I dined with some filends. It was
shortly after the close of the last Car-
list war, and 1 was employed in an Im­
portant ease In which the liberty uud
probably the life of u distinguished
Carlist leader were at stake. This gen­
tleman was a relative of my mother,
and. ni>nrt from my yourlifnl enthusi­
asm for my profession, 1 was devoting
o j my time and every scrap of energy
I possessed to his Interests.
Now. the fuet that I had been dining
oyt will no doubt be seized upon by
skeptical persons, and to their minds
will probably explain all the circum­
stances that I am now going to set
t own. 1 can only state most solemnly
that when they occurred 1 was never
more in tuy sober senses.
It was long past midnight when I
look leave of my friends. As I passed
along 1 had the street almost to my­
self. uud I paced briskly, enjoying the
uiglit air. Suddenly, though I heard
no sound of footsteps, the sensation
came to me that some oue was walking
behind me. 1 glanced around and saw
the figure of u man walking on the
outside of the pavement about six
paces In my rear.
He was tall and clad in a long black
cloak, the end of which was thrown
over his right shoulder In the Spanish
fashion and in such a manner as to
conceal the lower half of his face. A
broad black sombrero was crushed
down over his brows and from be­
neath its brim nothing but the tip of a
thin white nose was visible. His ap­
pearance at once brought my mind
back to the case on which i was en­
gaged, and I could not help wondering
whether this figure, which looked so
singular In its Spanish costume in the
streets of London, was not in some
way connected with It.
As I walked on I began to be some­
what uneasy. There were so few peo­
ple about 1 thought of assassination.
I knew the murderous nature of the
“ Navaja," and I was defenseless, not
having even the protection of a stick.
Then again. I reflected^ it might be
that this man was some compatriot of
my client, who wished to make some
communication to me, but If so, why
did he not approach? I felt he was
still behind me, although his foot made
no sound on the curb.
Not relishing the close attendance of
the mysterious stranger. I crossed over
to the other side of the street, where,
at least. I would be better able to ob-'
serve his motions, but before I bad
got half wuy across I was aware that
he had also left the pavement and was
following me at the same distance as
before. All this was sufficiently singu­
lar and perturbing, for I now felt cer- !
tain that the man was following me. ,
To make quite certain I presently
crossed the street again, and. sure j
enough, there was my pursuer at the
same distauce at my heels.
I now resolved to take action, and,
turning myself sharply around, I ask­
ed him wlmt he desired of me. To my

Dr. F. M. Rixey continues to visit tfie

Tlie late Dr. Bates, surgeon general of
tlie army, was the first physician to
President and Mrs. McKinley. When
he died. Dr. Leonard Wood, now Gen­

out of the war with Spain, when he

consternation mere was uo uue tUere:
I rubbed my eyes. I walked a few
paces back. I examined oue or two
doors which 1 had Just passed, but all
were securely fastened and there was
no trace of the mysterious figure In
any direction. 1 asked myself wlmt It
could mean.
But where had the man vanished to?
Au uneasy feeling began to take pos­
session of me. 1 am uot superstitious,
but the apparition was so extraordinary
iu Itself and its disappearance so un­
accountable that 1 felt a cold shiver
tro verse the region of iny spine. Pres­
ently I walked on. a good deal be­
wildered aud upset by my experience.
When 1 readied home. In the little
well-like courtyard before my own
door stood the figure silently awaiting
me. My heart stood still for a mo­
ment as I found myself face to face
with the Inscrutable being that had
hnunted my homeward Journey. There
was something so sinister in the man s
aspect, something so daunting and un­
ía nny in the silent persistence with
which he had led me to my very door,
that I confess I was terrified, and my
heart began to flutter in my bosom.
1 did uot know how to act. I tried
to speak, but my tongue refused to
litter a sound. Something liad to be
done, however, and 1 advanced a few
paces. The figure immediately turned
and dlsapiwared in the black archway
of the passage to my stairs.
1 finally went out at the other door
of the inn. aud. being quite unable to
overcome my fears. I went and put up
or a hotel for the night. 1 passed a
restless night and only fell asleep at
dawn, aud it was 11 o’clock before I
awoke.
When I arrived at Staple inn the
first person I saw was the night porter.
“ Lord bless me. Mr. Perclval.” said he.
running toward me. “ I am glad to see
you. We thought you must be killed.
We’ ve had a terrible smash here. Have
you your keys? We were just going
to break open your door, for we could
get no answer.”
By this time wo had arrived at my
door, where my oak was still brau.iy
sported. On entering a strange sight
met our eyes. The huge brick chim­
ney of the house had fallen in through
the roof during the night and the room
v>as filled with its debris. It had
crashed down into my bedroom and
fallen right upon my wooden bed. the
broken fragments of which were in all
corners of the room.
I had escaped certain death.
I never saw my ghostly visitant
again, and tlie ease agni::*t my Carlist
client was decided in his favor.
Whether there was any connection be­
tween the two events I am unable to
say. I have narrated the circumstances
as they happened, with no touch of ex­
aggeration and no embellishment of
fancy.—Penny Pictorial Magazine.
