ONE HALLOWEEN.

• _ t :y /. . • '"V : tts Incidents Served a Very Happy Purpose. I : 1 W By F. A. MITCH EL. (Copyright, 1910, by American Press Association.] Frank Greenleaf, recently married and an old friend of mine, opened his country residence for a house party during, the last week in October. There were about twenty of us in all, divided between married and single, the greater part being single. During our stay Halloween came around, and, singularly enough, not one of the party remembered it till the day before. Then there was considerable commotion, especially among the girls. As for me, I have always taken an Interest In those superstitions that have been banded down to us from a past age when every one believed In them. There Is something touching in an innocent girl just coming to womanhood watching for a glimpse of the man she shall marry and really believing that such things are a part of nature's scheme. For a century' or more people have been losing

"I AM YOUR FATE!"

everything that is poetic, substituting all that is practical. But in nature nothing ends—it is simply transfigured. And now those things which were formerly called superstition are coming up again in a new form. There are societies for psychical research whose members are investigating phenomenal appearances, and people possessing keen scientific minds are tive in the work. c - - After dinner on Halloween we all sat chatting by the firelight. I was able to give the party a talk on Halloween customs that I had gathered from folklore. I noticed that one, of the party, Edith Damon, a fair haired, blue eyed girl of nineteen, listened to the stories I told with rapt attention. I fancied her one of the kind that in the olden time would hold up a mirror with perfect confidence of seeing in it the face of one who was to be her husband. One person, I noticed, was observing her as I was, a Mrs. Crowell. During the evening this woman arose from her seat gnd sat down by the girl. It seemed to me from that time that Mrs. Crowell was exerting some influence over Miss Damon. I glanced at the others In the circle to see if they observed anything unusual, but they were all intent on the stories that were being told, not one of them paying attention to anything else. Before retiring we tossed apple skins over our heads, looked into mirrors and did other things usual on Halloween. The girls all made a compact that in the morning if any of them during the night got a glimpse of the man she was to marry she should tell all about it. I think some of them bad a dim fancy that something might happen, but only the youngest ones. I can myself remember when a youth going to sleep with a piece of wedding cake under my pillow, fancying that I would really dream of the girl I would one day marry. We parted with raillei'y and laughter and were some time quieting down after we got into our rooms. The next morning as we were assembling for breakfast there were many questionings, some of the party using the Halloween that had just passed as a means to tease one another about some supposed fancy for a mate. At the table the; host asked each one of bis guests iu turn if he or she had had a,vision during the night. Perhaps it was what I had noticed iff Ethel Damon that led me to fix my eyes upon her. She seemed stirred by some unusual emotion, which increased as her turn to reply to Greenleafs question drew near. I glanced at Mrs. Crowell and noticed that she was intent upou Miss Damon. Just as I was about to withdraw my glance from the former she looked at me. There was a singular expression in her eyes that I could not fathom. But I interpreted it to mean that she knew I suspected her of exercising an influence on Miss Damon. Finally, when the host said, “Ethel, did you see the man you would marry last night?” the girl turned a rosy red and, covering her face with both hands, dropped her head on the table. All the" circle were on the tiptoe of expectation. Calls of “Tell us!” “Out with it!” “Confess!” “Don’t be afraid!” were made to the poor girl, who, after enduring the fusillade for a few minutes, pushed back her chair and ran out of the room amid a babel of shouts and laughter. I knew that something unusual had

happened to the girl and sympathized with her. in being obliged to suffer the raillery of her companions. Young people are not Very thoughtful about such matters. Indeed, I suppressed some indignation at what had occurred. When the noise had somewhat subsided I ventured to suggest that whatever had induced Miss Daman to leave the table it was something sacred and should be respected. All the thanks I got for this suggestion was a volley of guys hurled at me, such as “You are the man!” “Hurry up the wedding!” “Let’s have it over before we separate!” coming mostly from the younger people. Truly a lot of boys and girls are incorrigible. While this was happening I noticed that Mrs. Crowell was looking at me with that same singular unlnterpretable glance. Surely there was a mystery here jn which the participants were Mrs, Crowell and Ethel Damon, while I was the only one cognizant of it. As we were leaving tfie table I said to Mrs.- Crowell, “I wonder if anything could have occurred during the night that Miss Damon mistook for a sign?” But the lady simply gave me another of those strange looks and made no reply.

There are fine grounds about Greenleaf’s house I think he has some eighty acres—and during the morning, my mind 1 e ng occupied with what had occurred at breakfast, I took a fancy to stroll out into a wood for meditation. It was one of those bright, crisp mornings we get only at the turning point between summer and winter. The season was late, and many variegated leaves still hung upon the trees. Presently I espied ahead of me a girl walking alone among the trees. In another moment I recognized the figure of Ethel Damon. I was delighted at the opportunity of meeting her. I was sure she was tilere to be aloue, but I realized also that people who wish to be alone also desire a confidant if the right person Is available. I caught up with her, called to her. She stopped and turned.

It is some years since I saw that expression on her face, but it is as clear in my memory as then. Indeed, it is a picture that never can fade. There were a slight blush, a smile and the words, “How glad I am that you are here!” Then when I reached her she laid her hand on my arm, seemingly with that sense of possession a girl feels on being just betrothed to the man of her choice. IVhat did it mean? “l am glad,” I said when I felt that I must speak, “that my presence does not disturb you. I thought it possible that after the scare at the breakfast table this morning you came here to get away from every one.” “Except you.” “You* mean that I was more thoughtful than the rest in respecting your feelings?” She did not reply to this. She stooped, picked up a crimson leaf that had fallen and pretended to admire its beauty. “Would it be too much to ask your confidence as to why you did not reply to our host’s question? lam sure that during the ljight you saw something that you interpreted as a sign.” She turned and looked at me with an expression of surprise. Then suddenly another look came upon her face, one of mingled disappointment and morti; fication.

“Can it be possible,” she exclaimed, “that it was, after all, only a dream?” “What dream?” She turned away, muttering to herself: “Oh, heaven! What have I done?” I caught her hands in mine, turned her toward me and begged for an explanation. I was some moments getting it, and when it > came it came haltinglj\ “Last night,” she said, “I went to bed and to sleep, much affected, I admit, by the Halloween stories to which I had listened. During the night I awoke on hearing my name called softly. A window in my room opens on to a balcony. It. was'moonlight, and you stood with one hand on the casement. You said to me, ‘Meet me tomorrow morning in the wood! west of the house.’ Then j’ou went away. I took it for granted that your coming was a Halloween sign and that you were aware of your own presence. But now since you are not I suppose it was only a dream.” I made no reply for a few moments, but I still held her bauds in mine. Then, saying, “Dream or no dream, It is a Halloween sign, and a Halloween sign you cannot resist; I am your fate, and you are mine,” I drew her to me and kissed her.

Later I told her that during the previous evening I had noticed Mrs. Crowell go and sit beside her, and. I asked her if she had felt any unusual 'sensation. She told me from that moment she had felt that during the night she would get a Halloween sign. She would not join in the agreement to tell in the morning if she had received one. Before; leaving the place where a sudden happiness had come to me I took Frank Greenleaf aside and asked him who was Mrs. Crowell. #Why do you ask?” he said, with a quick exhibition of interest. I told him the story as I have told it here, he opening his eyes wider every moment to the end. “Mrs. Crowell,” he said 1 after I had finished, “possesses faculties that thus far no one has been able to explain. She is a clairvoyant, a medium, a mind reader or whatever you like to call her. I first met her at a meeting of the Society For Psychical Research, of which I am a member,' Whatever she is, I know that she is not a fraud.” “At any rate,” I replied, “she has done a neat bit of quick courting for. me.”
