A modern Ghost Story with a Natural 'Buil [Written for the New Orleans-Pioayune.1 Some people harbor a prejudice against ghosts, mysterious rappiuge and spiritual inanifeabatiore of any sort ; these, like Bun. da, in Sir Wolter Sculls, Pirate,'' don't belit'ive in but are afraid of them ; others, like Minna, believe but do not fear, and othere again laugh at anything of the ghost- ly kind ae the moat arranttooliehnees, coined espeoially to furnish plots for children's tales, to which no sensible, phlosophioal '} person in this enlightened nineteenth cen- tury would give a moment's serious eon- sideration. Charles Dameron, M. D., it must be said, rather belonged to this latter class. A hardworking, fast rising young physician, he was as levelheaded a man as ever lived, with no nonsense about him, and yet nob one of those dlsagreeablea who would mold the whole world after his own fashion, and not too clever to tolerate and even enjoy nonsense in other people. He had never been hi love bub once in his life and passed through it as other persons pass through the mumps. It had not hurt him much, tine since that time he was nob in. olined to regard every woman he met in the light of a walking sage'. Ib was one night in Jane, after au unusu- ally hard day's work, that Dr. Dameron had the experience I am about to relate, an 'ex- perienoe he hasenever accountedfor as long as he lived, bub "mush simply place in the list headed, "Inexplainable." He retired that eventful night, giving orders that noth- ing, not even a call from the dead, should be allowed to disturb hie slumbers. A couch of white rose leaves fanned by Circa?eian kiave gide opuld net have been Mere accept- able than this bed, and no sooner had his head touched the pillow than ha was asleep, That was at 11 :30 °retook, and ibis nob probable that he had aleph more than three hours when he awoke all of a sudden, fanoying he had been called, but seeing no one in the room turned over again, suppos- ing he had dreamt it ; but there le Dame again : "Doctor 1 Doobor Dameron,' for heaven's sake help me 1" He half sat up with an impatient exclamation on hie lips, and saw in the dim light of hie room a woman standing half -way between his bed . and the door. She eeemed to be dressed in sone• thing white, with a shawl muffled about her. The material that airily enveloped her head was lace. He could see her face perfectly well as the light from the window fell direot- ly, upon it, and noticed that she was pretty and clank eyed, bub very pale and anxious looking. ; lb takes a good deal to surprise a dootor, so this one really felt more annoy- ance than amaz.ment at eight of hie femin ine visitor,' and if he supposed anything it was that being denied admittance, she had forced her way to his room to importune aid for some sick relative or friend. "What is it you wish ?" he asked, not too amiably. "Doctor," said a most animating voioe, "my sister, Hilda Stratton, is ill. She lives at 1222 West Fourteenth street. For r s go to her,now. 1" e eke heaven's "My good woman—girl it is impossible! I am not well myselt and worn out; I can't go anywhere to -night ; you must get some one else 1" " But in the meantime she may die." There was positive anguish in her voice now and her race looked ghastly white and sad. "For heaven's sake, don't refuse me ! Go to her, if you are human ; go to her I" It was ourf..ns that she used the word "go" instead of "come,"; ae most persons ` would have done ; but )r. Dameron thought the strong excitement she labored under caused her to disregard grammar. He groaned aloud, for there was no resisting her despair. ing life and death appeal. "Well, if she is as sick as all that there's no help for me, I suppose 1 Go on and I'll follow, or you can wait for me down �etaire as it can't be pleasant walking the streets alone this time of night." He heard a faintly uttered " Thank God l'' Then before be knew it, she was out of the room, leaving so noiselessly that Dr. Dameron did not even hear the door close behind her or the sound of her retreating footsteps. He dressed in a hurry and went down stairs expecting to find her waiting for him In the hall, bub to his astonishment she was nob there. ;Neither was there any sign of her to be seen on the street in either direc- tion. " Little idiot 1'' he said. " I'suppose she misunderstood me." However, he found. the house, whioh was not more than three or four blocks away, without any difficulty and gave the door bell a resounding peal wondering why on earth the woman had not waited there for him, at any rate, so as to let him in but as no one name he concluded that Iiomust have reaohea the house before her, whiohwas certainly queer. Finally, after two more peals, the sound of shuffling footsteps was heard and a sleepy eyed old woman, holding alofb a Dandle, opened to him with rather a dubious air, as if he might be a highwayman for all she knew. I am the doobor 1" he stated "briefly, thinking' that all suffieienb.. " Who ?" asked the old lady, curiously. " The dootor 1 .I have come to see the lady who is so siok," " What lady ?" " Miss Stratton ? ' exclaimed Dr. Dameron in exasperation, eteppiog inside the door as she showed signs of shooting it in his: face. Mies Stratton' is not sick, air 1" she'said in great surprise. "Is nob sick ; what do you mean i Her own sister came after me and said the young. lady was Ill 1" " Her sister 1 Lord bless me, sir, don't you suppose the child would have come to me if hor sister was slots, and 1 right here in the house with them and the only one to call upon 1" - " And a veru poor one, too,�� thought her Retorter ;"wells" he said, "as I have been balled in to see Miss Stratton 1 don't intend leaving until I know whether there is any - tiling the matter with her or nob 1" " Then you had beet walk up 'Stairs and the old lea n self sir,"answered 0 o r, see f ry Y , kindling indignantly. "That is just what I intenddoing, if you will kindly show me the way 1" ho retorted. They marched up the etairs, the old lady leading with her candle. ;Arrived on the second floor Elbe stood still and stiffly point- ed to a door. " there's their room 1 They always keep a lighe burning at night." Dr. Dameron held up hie hand with a gesture of silence. From behind the closed door oarne sounds like moans, faint but very penetrating. The olid lady changed�oolor. "Maybe she is siok, oho mattered, but it's strange they told mo nothing of it." "Are you, their landlady ?' asked the doctor, He was et bac dour trying to open slater have lived with me for a year, Poor young things 1" The door was looked; so she went wand by another entrance to open it for him': Dr, Dameron heard the moans more die Caney tenet neeming to oome from one in aoutc rein, "This le a strange affair,' he ';Yea," tabs setd. "Mies ,Hilda and her tfhoughb, "Where is the girl who game eh ter me? and; why in thunder didn't she tell e laudludy her sister was siok and gee' her stay with her or 'seed .after me, inetead of ming herself?" His self bier 'ogatione were interrupted ho wever, by t: opening of the door. " I'm arrald she's mighty sick,"eaid'the landlady. Tiny were in a large room, lighted by a night lamp placed on the floor. Nrom a bed at one end came filo sounds they had heard outside ; near it was a little cot in whioh a child lay sound asleep undieturbed by the half unconscious groan of its room- mate. The dootor approached his patient ; she was lying with closed eyes, her hair tumbled in great disorder over the pillow, her breath coming in panting gasps from her parted lips, and her oheoku crimson with fever. As he name near her she opened her eyes ; they were brilliant with the same light that painted her (Menke red ; she knew nothing, evidently saw nothing, bub moaned unceasingly. Dr. Dameron eaw that he had a very siok girl to deal with and turned sharply to his oompenion who was looking dismayed. " Where le her sister ?" he demanded. "Why don't she come to her ?" " There she is, asleep, sir," said the wo- man, pointing to the orib where the child of ten years or so lay. "Nonsense, not that child, of course not 1 Her other sister I'm balking about." She looked bewildered " She has no other sister here, sir, she and little Nan live all alone." Dr. Dameron was completely staggered and conoluded that the old woman muse be crazy, bub before that night .was over discovered that on some subjects at least she retaired her senses. For one thing she was a most efficient and kind-hearted nurse and rainy. ed him greatly of the burden of responsi- bility thrown upon him so suddenly. To- gether they worked on Hilda Stratton in her sudden illness. Mrs. West, for that was the landlady's name, said she had been alightly atliug fox some days, and she supposed had overworked herself, for pretty Hilda was a musics teach• er, and With her earnings surest entirely supported her little slater and herself. They were orphans. Mrs. West had lived in their family for many years as housekeeper, for as she said they had nothing, Ps a emelt life annuity . had died with their mother's death just a year before. There' was another sister older than Hilda living in; New York, but in Se. Louis' the two girls had no living relative. This much Dr. Dameron ' found out, though there was libble time for talk- ing. He did what he could for the girl to whose bedside he had been galled in so mysterious a mannerand did not leave her .until "break of day when she was Bleeping, with Mrs. West to watch over her. ' Then he returned to hie home a perplexed and weary man. In the solitude of his own room he tried in vain to solve the question : Who was the girl who had entered his room and en treated him to , go to her "sister," when Hilda Stratton's only grown sister was miles and ranee away from her. Whoever the woman was, how did she get inside the house and his room and out again without being seen or, heard, for the servants positively denied all knowledge of her visit. The doors werelooked and bolt. ed for the night, and the cffine•man swore he had not let a soul in the house after .his. master retired, and had nob been called to the bell:onoe during the night. Dr. Dem- me wondered ame-ronwondered at himself for not having felt more surprise when he saw the wdmandin his room, forib was nob a usual thing for people to precipitate themselves upon him in that fashion even if their nearest relatives were dying. He recalled the girl's white fame with her dark shining . eyes, the softly, modulated tones of her voice; and suddenly remember. ed with a disagreeable libble thrill, how suddenly and noiselessly she had left the room ; why, he did not even remember see. ing the door open and; close behind her 1 Well, there was nobhing to dobut aooept the affair for what it was, , a mystery; and though.Cuarles Dameron bad nob a grain of superstition about him and was a scoffer at all such things, he was forced - to admit against his own belief and j sdgment : that this little affair had something of an uncanny aapecb about it. But even mysteries be thought could be analyzed, and this he was determined to Rife to the very bottom when the proper moment came. Hilda Stratton was ill unto death and her little sister Nannie implored that Irene,, the absent sister, should be sent for.:Mrs. West also said "if anything happened.. to Mise Hilda ib would dine Miss Irene mad with grief," and she thought the latter should certainly be telegraphed to oome at once "if the dootor thought there was real danger." The dootor thought the danger so very real that he seat the dispatoh the day after Hilda was taken and Irene Stratton reading it in that far off city thought her heart must break with anguish and suspense before she could reach the sister dearer to her than her own life. And in the time thea intervened before her arrival Charles Dameron thought t3 much of a face with dark appealing eyes and fought the battle of life for hie young pati nt right manfully, nob only from a natural human sympathy, but far that absent sister's sake, the sister who. would " go mad with grief " if anything happened to Hilda, She game at last, and : though ;Hilda had moaned for her incessantly, she knew her no more than she had known Nannie' or Mre. Rest, and still cried for "Irene, Irene 1" When Dr. Dameron first saw her, she was kneeling by Hilda's bed, her fade buried in her hands, for she was praying for thatdear life. And when she lifted that face to him— Charles Dameron fele a strange secret thrill, nob of surprise, for in his soul he felt it all along,but a thrill of recognition 1 Yee ; there was the same ,pale, pretty face, the anxiety on ib deepened to actual dread ; the dark beseeching eyes tbab had haunted him, and when she spoke in earnest, grateful words its was the same voioe he had heard before— the voice summoning him to the aid of her young sieter. 1 But this peculiar recognition was on his tide alone. She greeted him warmly, gratefully,for Mrs. Wosb and Nannie had told her of his kindness and attention to Hilda, but not with the faintest symptom of ever having seen him before •; and so he kept hie secret, for a time at least. It was many a weary day and night before Hintz was out of danger, and In all that time Dr. Dameron' was untiring in his care and attention, and what wonder is it that he won more than gratitude from Irene Stratton by that tender devotion to her dear one, and they wore much thrown together in that bimo'of dtoad and trial for Irene. One night she told him something that he had wanted to know for a long time, for he had often wondered if she had had any un- usual experience on that night when Hilda was taken ill; a presentiment, or forewarn- ing, or something to coincide with her ap• p'eranoe or seeming appearance in his room. It wad towards the end of Hilda's iltneae, and she was lying in a deep, 'dret.mleae sleep. 'rens and Dr. Dalnele00 were aittin g y per bed ;. Mrs. Wein dozing in the big rm oha.r 1;a the window: In mono 's a face wee 'perfect peach and oontentmenb, for the, long battle was fairly over now and H1lde on the road to perfect reeevery.j " Dr, Dameron," she said suddenly, breaking a long silence, " do you believe in dreams being sent sometimes as a forewarn. ing of coming trouble ?' He was startled,. for his thou04 were running in that vein, T havo never had much faith in forewarnings of any kind," he answered ; " but why no you ask ? ' "Because I bad such a strange dream the very night Hilda was taken so ill. Of course It have been a mere coincidence, locomen I was always thinking of her and was. eapeoially anxious just then, as ehe had not written for nearly a week." ewe,. " Wali, what was the dream?" 4,,, She paused silently. "I am afraid you will think me so silly to give it a thought t" "Ladeed, I will not. Pray tell me what it was ?" "Well, I did not fall asleep that night for ever so long, worrying, T suppose, over Hilda's silence and—other things, and I don't remember when I did go to sleep. For my dream, if dream it was, was so vivid I felt as if I was awake all the time. I thought I heard Hitch's voioe moaning aloud in great pain and distress ; ib seemed) as if ehe was trying to call sono one and could not do it I tried hard to get to her, but there was an in -mineable barrier between US ; the groans grew more distinct and then I thought I saw her, as ib were, at a great distance lying on a bed, flushed with fever and raging in delirium, and altalone, with- out a soul to help her. I do net know where I was when I saw this, but all around me monied to be dark and only a faint,' pale light game from Hilda's room. It seemed to me that I soreemed aloud in my anguish and utter helplessness : 'God send some one to her 1 Help her 1 Help her 1' - The light of Hilda'a room faded away and i was etand- ing in a large, dark chamber. I could jast make out the outlines of a bed and some one, lying on it. I had a confused idea that there I was to find aid for Hilda and heard myself crying out : 'Help 1 for Heaven's sake help me 1 My sister is i11 1 for .God's Bake go to her 1"' Dr Dameron, started visibly at this, for that appeal, couched ' in those very words, was familiar to his ears. " Well, what else?' he asked breathlessly. "There was very little else. I had a vague assurance of ald and comfort—though that was dim and confused as dreams often are. But a strange thing about it was : that when 1 awoke I was standing in the middle of the floor, the tears streaming down, my face, and yet even in my sorrow 1 felt a sense of oom- forb in the firm conviction that God would send aid to Hilda if she weeded in just as if I had been told so." Dr. Dameron 'wae. strangely moved by the girl's ;story ; it ball• led so exactly' with what had occurred that night that there"ooald be no mistake about it tallied so exactly with what had occurred that night that there could be no mistake about it. Irene Stratton' was in New York, he in St. Louis on a certain night in Jane, and yet notwibhatanding'the miles that se- parates them, she had appeared to him and had implored him in moving terms to go to her sister, who; waa lying at the point of death. That sheshould have left Hilda's condition was not so remarkable, for won- derful love aompaeaeth all things and leaps with unknown speed o'er barriers of seem- ingly impassable space. Bat how she appear. ed to Dr. Dameron was not to be known. Sitting with her that night he told her all; of the strange summons he had had, and how he arose, dressed and went in all haste to the very house she had designated, of his incredulous amszsment when told that Hilda'a sister was far' away,and then of hie recognition of herself and conviction" that what he had seen and heard was not a dream but sober truth. She listened in deep attention and awed eilanoe until the very end, then'' said : "It was not a dream or delusion. I am sure.thet in the fearful aut'uisle of that moment my spirit lefts the flesh and went to you for help. There is notbine .strange to me in this. I cried to Gad for help and he helped me in that way, by sending mo to you. Men do nob know of what the untrammeled soulis capable. My body slept, bub I am certain my soul was with Hilda that night I" What was there to say to this ? and whab could D. Dameron believe save that her solution of the mystery must be the one nearest approaching the truth, in spite of all ecientffio scoffers and 'skeptics may say to the contrary Y It must have been intended that the two who first met so strangely should wield an unoommon influence over each other's lives, and viewed in this light there was only one ehiog to be done to save himself from a repe- tition of suchspiritual visits, and itwas nob more than sixweeks or so before Irene gave a blushing consent to this plan of Dr Dame- ron's, which was of course the old, old plan of making two lives one by a, ib is to be hoped, happy marriage, with whioh ended At. Dameron's strange experience. KATE A. CARRINGTON. A Young Strategist.
