Ha/.v in the northern skies ,
Doth a dark-giey htoim-cloud rise ;
Now a lull , anon a gust
Playing fice , in sportive lust ,
Inlet mixed with dust and snow ;
Driven quickly to-and-fro.
Whirling round-
Onward bound ;
With a hollow ino.iuing sound ,
And an icy aictlc sting
Comes the storm thu snow crowned king.
Hcast with instinct , man with brains ,
Dreud the storm-king of the plains ,
In his snow-fed track they comu
Kach ono striving for a homo ;
Man walks , blinded on his loute ,
Whilst the beast will roam about.
Till at last
They are cast ,
Down before the winter's blast :
One to die , one to bo blest
Yonder with celestial rest 1
See the fragrant Cedar tree
Bows its head to worship thce ,
King of storms thy royal will
Sweeps the mountain , vale and hill ;
On thy regal diadem
Every crystal is a gem.

For a time ,
Ruler of a northern clime ;
All thy fury will thou spend
Three clays bring thy Dual end !

Now and then a golden beam ;
Fleecy clouds pass quickly by ,
Presently un azure sky
Greets us , with a setting sun ;

Still the night.

And the moon sheds silv'ry light.

teenth street 'lie perceptibly lessened
his gait and sis ho reached the corner
ho stopped and peered anxiously around
it.
"Well , do you notieo anything pecu
liar ? " asked the physician.
"Nothing , except that ho appears to
be looking for some one , or expecting
( somebody to overtake him. "
"That s just it. Ho is looking for
some one. lie is looking for a
demon. "
"A what ? "
"Just what I say ; ho imagines him
self pursued by a liond or liends and
when on the street is in mortal fear that
he will bo attacked by them. But I'll
tell you the story. I have known Mr.
for fourteen years , lie came to
Omaha during the year IbS Land engaged
in the business which has reached
such great proportions now. IIo prospered -
pored from the start and it often hap
pened that largo sums of money were
paid into his counting rooms after bank-
ingjiours. On such occasions it was
'
his'eustoin to take the money homo with
him , preferring that risk to the ono
of leaving it in. the safe at his
Illce. "
"One. night Mr. was unusually late
in leaving hisollico , and ho carried with
him over $2,000 in cash , paid in just
after dark. Just as ho reached the cor
ner of the street on-.whieh ho lived a
masked robber sprang upon him and
dealt him a terrible blow , with some in
strument , in the back of the head ,
knocking him senseless. "
"He was picked up an hour later
and removed to his home. Of
course the $2,000 was gone. I was called
to attend him and through the long
weeks of brain fever that followed
I visited him daily. IIo was delirious
nearly all of the time , and his constant
erv was 'He's following me again ! He's
following me again ! ' "
"Well , finally he became convales
cent and soon was back at work in his
olllce. No change was noticed in his
demeanor by his friends and em
ployes. Ho was the same keen _
business man as over , and worked with
ail his old-timo vigor. I was the only
ono who detected a slight change. You
see , brain diseases have always been my
hobby , and when ho became physically
cured , I watched him constantly. I no
ticed a scared look in his eyes when
outside of his homo-or olllco , and that
ho was extremely reluctant to'go on the
street after dark. lOne day , about a
year ago when the jlniilding materials
wore piled high in fj-ontof the now First
National bank ho and I were walking
together up Farnam street. He , as
usual , kept looking back , and when we
reached the bank qorner he was peer
ing around it , f\s you saw him
do a little while ago. At this instant
an old friend stopped from behind the
pile of bricks andf "before Mr.
saw him gave hiin a .slap on the
back , saying : 'Hollo , ! ' Mr.
fainted clear away , .and wo took him
homo in a cab. It wan all I could do to
save him from another attack of brain
fever. IIo remained at homo fully two
weeks before I would let him comedown
town. "His nervous system had received
a severe shock , and' ' ho would shudder
when anyone rang trio bell. lie seemed
to doubt his safety eyen in his own homo.
But this wore oil , and I linally induced
him to toll mo his trouble. Ilosaid that
when ho was on the street ho was im-
nressed with the idea that ho was fol
lowed , and liis ear could detect the
breathing of the man. This lie said was
always the case. IIo could hoar no foot
steps only that awful breathing. When
at home or at the olllco this sensation en-
tirel.v disappeared. Now , that's the
story. Queer ono , isn't it ? How do I
explain it ? Why , I can't. IIo is so ra
tional on every subject but this one
haunting fear , that it puzzles me , and I
do not think the case lias a paralell in
medical history.
