A young man from Brooklyn Heights
was detained In the city until a late
hour Sunday night and upon starting for
homo he was accompanied for a short
distance by a companion. When they
reached the bridge over the run at the
old mill they paused to indulge in a last
conversation before the one returned to
Us home In the city and other pursued
his way to his abiding place on the
Heights.
The night was still and calm, above,
tbejheavens twinkled with a myriad of
gems, while below the little stream
trlokled on its silver-toned way to the
sea. All* nature was hushed and still,
save for the faint, monotonous baying of
a dog in some far distant yard. It
during the Interval between the de
parture of the night trains on the rail
road and the yard engines stood desert
ed upon the tracks, the soft hissing of
the dying steam only making more In
tense the utter loneliness of the scene.
There was a pause In the conversation
of the two friends; they were about to
part for the night and the eyes of both
were directed up the dry bed of the
pond. The barking of the dog grew
fainter and fainter on the midnight air,
and the sound of escaping steam from
the cooling engine on the track subsided
to a whispering murmur, and the very
stream under their feet grew strangely
silent lnjits course over the pebbly bot
tom. ’Twas then that far up the stream
a faint, wlerd light appeared and moving
dlreotly toward the bridge on which
they stood, the luminous, moving mass
took on human shape—the form of a
woman with flowing robes and unbound
hair, and floating down with the course
of the stream approaehed nearer and
nearer the spellbound watchers. The
form was not of earth and only spiritual
could be that gliding, floating move
ment. And just then there earns to each
of the earthly spectators a sense of
deep, abiding sorrow, a vague,
intangible grief - which permeated
the Inmost fibres of their being;
yet strange to relate, there was at the
time an utter absence of any fear on
their parts, only that feeling of intense
and absorbing sympathy for the grieving
spirit, for there was grief profound,
pitiable and despairing In her very
presence. 8he came, In hor/ mournful,
pathetic way almost to the bridge on
which they stood, and pausing there, as
If in utter destitution at not finding
wbat she sought, the ghostly form turn
ed and with bowed bead and heart
broken mein drifted away slower and
more indistinct, until there was only the
luminous vapor first seen, and then
darkness. From afar came the faint,
monotonous baying of the dog, the
dying steam from the boiler of. the yard
engine hissed softly, and the little
stream gurgled In silver-toned ripples.
The stars glittered brightly In the mid'
night sky and all nature was at rest.
With a long-drawn breath the two
friends faced each other: “You saw T
“I did.” “pood night.”

porter, ho deserves to be classed as 1
genius.
His work Is done entirely in the nat
ural willow with the bark left on, and
the marvel Is how he succeeds In sus
taining the graceful curves so faithfully
in both sides of his chairs. The designs
are symmetrical and light, yet the fur
niture when completed is almost inde
structible. His prices are reasonable
and he Is a sober, industrious man, and
deserves patronage.

An Unfortunate Accident..
Mrs. Hammond, the venerable mother
of Mrs. H. D. Watts, happened to a se
rious and painful accident yesterday
morning.
Mrs. Hammond is 70 years of age,
quite feeble and entirely blind, and in
coming up the steps to her home missed
her footing and in falling broke her
shoulder.
Medical attention was promptly given,
and all that loving relatives could do
was done to alleviate the sufferings of
the unfortunate lady, but owing to her
advanced ago it is feared her recovery
will bo slow and doubtful.
