What I have to sav is n »r fiction, but fact.
The heroine of my “sli t istory”—and no
less true than strange—died many years ago.
Most of her generation have followed her to
the land, the inhabitants of which may or
may not revisit ours in visible guise. The
Lord of the quick and the dead alone knows
how this may be. There is no reasou why 1
ghoul«! not put into print what many of her
contenqioniries heard from her own lips, not
only at the dateof the mysterious occurrence
that shadowed her life, but when a half cen­
tury had softened the grisly outlines of the
horror, and she could contemplate it in per-
«!>ective, almost with calm less, although never
without awe.
1. Nancy Barksdale, who write this, was a
girl of 18 when, at the close of a May day
fifty years agone, my father’s carriage set
me down at the door of my dear friend Au
gusta Deane, in Cartersville, Va. Carters­
ville was then, and may be now, an uninter­
esting village, straggling leisurely along the
banks of the James river, to which it owed
its being ami continued life. We had pitied
Augusta Eilett, the belle of two Richmond
seasons,, not because she married Frank
Deane, a promL::: ; \ mug lawyer, but for
having to live m t ,.t- nm<Ely, tame little town.
The wedding had taken place in December,
and this was my first visit to her new abode.
It was a small, white cottage, set back
about twenty yards from the street, which
ditrercd in nothing from u country highway,
except that there were more bouses on and
imar it. I had just time to observe that the
Deanes’ cottage was a story and a half high,
with dormer windows in the roof; that it was
ivat and newly painted; that the wicket gate
in the front palings was overarched by a
bower of honeysuckle, and the front porch
overrun with a multiflora rose tree, now in
affluent bloom, when Augusta ran out
through the open door and down the gravel
walk to the carriage.
She was a trifle thinner than when 1 had
last seen her, but animated and joyous, with
ivivncity that «li l not abate while she attended
■mi to her own chamber on the first floor,
pouring out salutations, queries and interjec­
tions in her old frank, impetuous way.
I “You must stay in here with me until
Frank comes home,” she said, helping me to
lav aside iny traveling garb. “Ile went to
lliehmond day before yestonluy and may not
let back before Saturday.”

thoroughly informed as her chief. He re­

Finding no one to suit, after some months’
probation they formally installed the girl,
and she has been the train dispatcher ever
since. The line is a single track one, and
has a large traffic, both freight and passen­
ger. Every train has to move according to
direct orders sent out by Miss Thayer, and
