I wns lying eiretcht'd , * t full length on the
long eofa ID tbe library. It wts a drowsy
afternoon In spring and I had been asleep
Even after I awaked"ilip sweet drowsiness
of clumber was on me , land I lay for come
time with closed lids in that thoughtless
dreamleas state between sleep and waking
Suddenly I became aware of a presence In
the room , and opened my eys expecting to
see my aunt. Instead 1 sawa flash of blacl :
before my eyes , a flash that shimmered and
quavered like superheated air and disap
peared while I was blinking my ejes to eee
what It all meant , but 1 was alone In the
room. The thing ga\e me a queer sensation ,
and I lay quite ettll for ( tome moments shut
ting and opening mj eye * to see If the black
flash reappeared , nut It did not ; there was
only a sort of tired feeling back of mj
eyes.
"Malaria , " I Bald resignedly , and I went
to look tor Amelia to get her to make me
a lemonade.
1 found the little inald watering the flowers
down In the paved court. i leaned over the
bannisters with my face In my palms lazily
watching her swab the dusty aloe , her deft
little hands pi 1st tiling like copper where
the sun touched their wet brown fingers.
"Do you believe In ghosts , Amelia ? " I
asked wearily.
"Oh , yes. Mamzclle. " eald the little maid
In her pretty French , as she turned her
scared , brown face up to look at me. "Don't
you ? "
"Of course not , " I answered , "but 1'ta
thirsty. Amelia. "
Then the flicked the water from her cop
pery fingers , aud went away to mix me the
cool drink of lemon and lime juice which no
one could make so well.
When the little maid wns gone , Aunt
'Cilia poked her big white kerchiefed head
from her kitchen door , nodded at me a mo
ment , and thin came tolling up the steps.
"You been sleep In de Hbr'y , ain't you ,
honey ? " she said when she had waddled
quite elope to me.
"Yes. " I answered , wonderlngly.
"Das n mighty po' place to sleep , chile , "
Ehe said.
"Why. Aunt "Cilia ? " I asked. .
" 'Case 'tis , " she answered laconically ,
nodding her head backwards toward Amelia ,
who was coming up the tteje behind her.
"I's jist tellln' Mamzelle she better mek
you git de frathcr duster and brt'sh de dUKt
ofl'n dcm bananas and dat palm 'fo' you
sprinkle's em. 'Melia. " eald the old woman
us she waddled awa3\
"All right. Aunt 'Cilia" Bald the little
maid as she left me to my leifjnade and to
wondering what the old woman meant.
But whatever she meant the would not
tell me. For dajs. In the eagerness of my
thoroughly aroused curiosity , I besought the
old woman and finally oCeied to bribe her
if she would tell , till at last the pmr old
thing threw herself down on her knees at
my feet.
"Don't mek me tell you , honey chile , " she
said. " 'Tulnt nothin' gwlue to hurt you ;
et dere was I'd tell you ef It kill me. But
taln't nothin' 'tall gwine hurt you , only
I done been conjured , , an' t I tell de hoodoo
would git me. 'Fo' Gawd das de truth ,
honey , " and there wfere lears.i . oiling down
the old woman's black chf > els .
Of courte this served to excite my fancy
all the more concerning the shimmering
black spot in the library , and In the mean
time I had a second experience of It. It wns
much the same sorCT of "experience as the
first , except that I had not been usleep. I
simply lay down on tlie sofa and closed my
eyes , opening them suddenly , when the black
spot shimmered and danced and was gone.
I had told my aunt on the first day of
our possession that the- house we took was
worthy to be haunted. I have
always wondered -why1 my aunt se
lected It. It was. In many
respects , the least preposwr-Einr : of any that ,
the agent showed us , yet to "be ture it had
a grandeur about It , a sort of stately , stuc
coed. Creole grandeur which was altogether
charming to our ejes that beheld New Or
leans for the first time. But the house
was plain , and tall and straight and square ;
there were no quips and cranks about its
appearance on the outside , though the in-
tenor was all that the most fanciful heart
could wish. There was an open court with
a rusty-throated fountain m the center , and

My aunt said she selected the house be

exen the red mile of the tiny fishing raiscks

row , robblfd Kreetf , a location where one
could hear the sweet , low speech of gentle
Creole tongues from morning until night ,
and dream all sorts of romances.
1 fncikly confess that the ghostly spot In
the library set mp to thinking that romances
may be much bettfr dreamed than reallred.
particularly as I could not speak to mj aunt
about It. We had come south for her health ,
and It beramo my constant care to Keep her
from knowing at > out the spot
Nevertheless. I set myself to find out what
It meant. 1 rummaged all over the house.
In rvtrv crack and corner , and found many
secret coleets and hidden springs that I hod
hitherto been ignorant of But betide these
tnv search was almost fruitier ? ; there WZB
not a scrap of tnonuscript. nothing to tell of
any former history of the house or of In
habitants One day. however , when 1 had
about -concluded my efforts would be In vain ,
Amelia was helping me to arrange some
books and magazines In the big. empty wall-
case in the library. Suddenly the little maid
let fall a heavy volume. The book had
slipped from o pile which she was attempting
to lay on the shelf , and , striking heavily
against the back of the case , opened a. oecret
door therein concealed. anJ dropped with a
sort of broken fall Into the niche behind.
It Is needless to pay 1 lost no time In search
ing amid the dust and coUwvbs of tlie little
closrt. where 1 found two small oil pletuies
and a little plaster butt. With eager hands
I brushed the dust from the pictures , and ,
taking them to the light , found one to be the
P3'trait of a delicate , eweet-faced boy with
timid blue eyes , and fair hair. Across the
back of the canvas was written : "Jean , aged
10 years. " The other picture was of a lad
seemingly 35 or 3f. years of age , a handsome ,
black-haired , black-eyed boy whose expres
sion I did not like. The plaster cast woe the
Imid of a grinning Faun , so stained and dust-
covered as to bo scarcely recognizable. Beside -
side tUe dust and grime the Faun was
further disfigured by a crack but poorly
patched , running entirely around the head ,
cleaving the right cheek , and slanting down
ward through the mouth , end da > hed squarely
jcross the face , so that it spattered both
eyes , was a hideous black Ink spot.
Here at last was a clew to the mystery ,
but what It would lead to I could not even
conjecture. Was it the shimmering black
spot that I had een so often now , which/ /
darted across the Faun's face ae I set it on
the high library mantel between the two
portraits ? Perhaps it was raly a passing !
shadow , for some one had crossed the
threshold.
" 'Fo' Gawd , mUsy , honey , wharbouts you
git dem things ? " said Aunt 'Cilia as she en
tered. "Better put 'em back whar dcy come
f'um. honey , better put 'em back. "
By this time the old woman had reached
the fireplace , and stood looking up at the
pictures.
"Po1 li'll Mas sa Jean , " she said , caress
ingly , "po' li'll lamb. "
"Who Is the other boy. Aunt "Gilla ? " I
asked.
"Da's JIassa Pierre , missy , ol1 Marster's
oddrr gran' ton , " the old woman answered
hesitatingly.
"Jean's brother ? " I asked.
"No , no , missy , " the said quickly ; "he's
ll'H Jean's cousin. "
"Tell me about them. "
"Dere ain't much to tell , missy. " she said
slowly. " 1 wish dere was mo * . Dere ain't
nothin' 'tall "but jes ? dat de li'll boys uster
live here wid ol1 marster , an' den when ol'
marster died , he let' ever } fine to Pierre

"How long ago has that been ? " I asked
"Long ago , " the old woman answered ;
"when thp bojowus * li'll fellers , soon arter

"And what has 'become ' of the boys ? " Aunt
Cilia ? "
"De Land only knows , toney , " she said
earnestly. "I wish I did. "Messa " Pierre he
went abiotd , an' I 'spec he's llvin' dere

I wish I kcowed where he Is , po' lamb I

knowed ' The old woman paused abruptly.
"If you knew. Aunt 'Cilia , " I suggested ,
"what tten ? "
"Xothln' honey : nothin' , remonstrated the
old wonan : hurriedly , and ehe left off caress
ing little Jean's picture and left the room.
As the summer advanced it seemed to me
that the flashing of the black i-pat in the
library increased. Further , It 'began ' to fol
low me all over the house. 1 could not get
away from seeing it iby day or from dream
ing of it by night , and it flashed 'back and
forth from Pierre's 'bold ' , dark face to llttlo
Faun , till I felt at last as If it would run
mo wild If I could ot solve the mystery.
Positively the thing haunted me.
One day In late summer , with the little
Amelia for company , I was walking along
through a narrow side street above Ccual ,
"up town. " as we had come to call It , follow
ing the fastlon of our neighbors. It was
the. dus > tj leans that hung limp on the lan
guorous trees. Suddenly , on the hot pave
ment before me danced the black spot ; then
waving and skimming it rcte and flashed be
fore my ejes , blinding me. 1 staggered and
would have fallen , but the little maid caught
me.
me.A moment later 1 was on the cool Inside of
the little shop 'beforewhich we bad been
passing , and a kind-faced , blue-eyed , white-
haired old man was bending over me , feeling
my pul e.
"You 'becamefaint. ' . Is It not , mademoi
selle ? " he atked gently.
"Yes , It Is the. beat , I think , " fcald I.
"Ah. yes. the heat no doubt , " he said with
a Knlle , "and the malaria. "
He gave me something to drink , something
that was very cool and very acid , and by and
by he called a cab and banded me Into It as
tenderly a if I had 'been ' a child. I glanced
back at him just as he stood in the little
office door , and read on the window beside
him the sign painted In gilt letters : "Doc
tor Jean. "
When I got home I was still very weak ,
to Amelia brought fcome pillows and propped
me on the leather couch In the library
because It wpas cooler there. Late In the
afternoon when the eun crept round that
way for a farewell touch , the llttlo maid
closed ihe blinds , drew back the red tapestry
curtains and fanned me to sleep.
I mutt haie dozed for sometime , for sud
denly I awoke with a tense of utavineBS and

me My aunt was there , too. smiling Joyously
to see me coining round again , and Aunt

llttla maid fanned me.

IIH SAW LINCOLN MIOT.
9Ir. Mill * Ai | > rld tlir Gunrilx nnO
IIMMl Mrw. Lincoln from Thrnlor.
The letters recently pub'lshed in The New
Tori : Sun asking If there were not many
people still living who saw Abraham Lincoln
assassinated have revealed the whereabout.
of several. Among them is James N. Mills
of Brooklyn.
"I was born in Brooklyn in 1 45. " said Mr.
Mills to the Sun reporter , "so that at the
outbreak of the war I was under 1G years
of ace. 1 wanted to go to the front as a
drummer boy , but when I app'led to the
officers of u regiment called tbe 'Brooklyn
Phalanx , ' afterward known as the First
Long If-land repiment , they told me 1 waa
too young. I afterward made my way to
Washington without my mother's consent
and enlisted as a drummer boy In 1SC2 J
served In the Army of the Potomac for
three 5 ears and during the closing 3aj ttf
the war was a clerk in the War department.
"On the night of the ansasfeination of
President Lincoln I attended the tbeiler tepee
pee Laura Keene in 'Our America Cousin '
The theater was packed. There must have
been .000 people in the house , every one
I depirous of seeing the president and Genetal
Grant , who were expected to be prts-nt
After tlie president took hlsssat in the box
the cheering ceased , the ciowd was ab-
solutelj' sti'l. I can only account for th r
Fiit-nce by the fact that i : was a cosmo
politan crowd , reprenentlng about every regi
ment located near Wahhlngton. and includ
ing travelers from every state In the union
"General Grant dl3 not attend and Mr
Lincoln , accompanied by Mrs Lincoln ard
Colonel Rathbone of the L'n ted S.ates army ,
made up the presidential party. They oc
cupied tne rlghthand box on the dr = s circle
The third act of the play had bc-nun and
Harry Hawk , an ac or in the company ,
"had just appeared on the stage from the
left , when there was a report of a pistol
shot. Looking over at the president's box ,
I paw a roan standing and gesticulating at
the occupants An Instant later the man
Jumped trom the box to the stage , turned ,
looked at the audience , and then disap
peared. He muttered Bomething as be
looked toward the audience , but I have
never been able to recall Just wnat he FaHl.
"Instantly the audience are e us if spell
bound , the whisperings of a moment before
became a roar of voices , and when It
dawned upon the audience that the presi
dent had been assassinated the confusion
was Indescribable. I made my way to the
head of the stairs as quickly as the crowded
condition of the house would permit , and ,
passing out into Tenth .trret , save the
alarm to the provost guard * These mmrds ,
by the way , were stationed at all theaters
to examine the passes of soldiers in uni
form who were in the city after nlgh'fall.
The guard I t-pofce to ran around to the
alley entrance of the theater on F street
and entered the back door.
"I returned to the front of the theater
and made my way to the drens circle and
to the private box of the piesidentlul party
Just ab Mr. Lincoln was being carried out
on the thouldert * of two men. One of these
was the proprietor of a saloon adjoining
the theater. He was in his uhlrt faleeves ,
the head of Mr. Lincoln resting on hip
shoulder and the blood trinkllng down the
sleeves and the bnck of his thirl. The
president was carried downstairs and across
the street Into iMra. Peterson's boarding
house , directly opposite the theater. As
Mrs. Lincoln wan lor the moment without
an escort. I gently crapped her arm and
led her from the box She was nearly
hysterical , crying and sobbing bitterly We
followed the men as they tarried Mr. Lin
coln across the street. He was placed on
a bed in a room on the ground floor , where
he died the following moraine.
"The proprietor of the saloon who carried
Mr. Lincoln from Hie theater subsequently
informed me that John Wllkex Booth had
spent a few moments In his place Just be
fore the close of the second act of the play.
While there he drank nearly a la full
of brandy. "

A painter fccaled tbe heights of a eky
scraper and climbed tbe flagpole , pointing
up like a thin line of black against the
smoky -blue of the sky. From the tldewalk
below , says the Chicago Record , he seemed
a toy man climbing up a slender pencil.
Strapped to hit side was a pot of paint
Coolly , as if be were on the ground , or even
down cellar , tbe painter took hi : brush and
began to decorate the wavering rod.
On the sidewalk below tbe crowd , which a
moment before bad been Intent on hop
windows , paused a moment and looked up.
"Oh. dear me , wouldn't it be perfectly
dreadful if be should fall ? " said a horrified
young lady.
Her tccort merely observed : "Even if he

A * 4sUnt Chief Scott of the patent ofDca
has prepared an Interesting list of patent *
granted to Inventors ef the X'nlted SUlrs.
compiled from 17 ! * to 155 , showing that
M1.C1S patents have l wti Issued to all per
sons , the number of women being surpris
ingly Urge
The patents comprise articles from curlIng -
Ing iron to a cooking stove and from , a war
< e ! * l to a bamfeaw. While many patents
are on objects of Interest to women , many
are oti scientific machines , objects of war
fare , miners' utensils and things which
would be must uwful to men Of course ,
the babj him not been forgotten , and the
articles patented to make the "mother' *
joy" more comfortable and contented form
a department. Collar buttons have born
imtnted by wlu . . mothers aud sweet
hearts Kvldentlj this wns done to save th >
masculine mind or pre\t > nt the profanitr
which is supposed to flow when one of the
buttons becomes detached from a garment
aud rolls somewhere out of reach.
"Wo have found. " tald Chief Scott , "that
the objwta patented by women are of on
practical a nature ns those by men.
"It happens occasionally that men Invent
an object of interest exclusivity to woman *
kind , but the ieverc is often the case. It
frequently happens that a woman will sug
gest something to her husband , who act
upon It. taking out the patent nnd getting
credit for It , of cours-c. Anyone who thlnkd
a woman Incapable of invent.ng anything
really useful makes a great inlstnke. an a.
leak at the list of thoufands of objects will
testify. Some of the most Important things

HO ? , nnd was for straw weaving with ellk

article , a corset , c-f which there arc moro
patents Issued to woman Inventors than for
anj other article. Tbe next was to Sophia
