A LESSER ISRAFEL.

I sometimes think myself another IsrafeJ, For one there is who plays upon my heart As on a lute witb goW^a strings. She plays foD well,

With wondrous skill and woman's cunning art. Until 1 «wm uplifted and apart. Beyond the world and in a witch's potent spelL

When man.seems..day and friendship but an empty Jest, When leaden sides enshroud me in their (doom. When fierce revenge and hatred fill my heaving breast,

Or thouzhts unworthy full control assume, This angel comes in all her youth and bloom And wakes some soothing chord within that gives me restSometimes It is a melancholy strain she plays

With magic touch in trembling minors sweet Perhaps a soft nocturne, while dreaming in the haze

Of night* by love's perfection made complete, Till, quickened by my heart's more rapid beat, The soft, [tathetic strain to gayer measures strays. Play on. play on. dear hand, and school the eager

Into

Thy love hath made to nobler melodies, Lest in thine absence ita poor trembling soul grow mute

For while thy touch can wake Its harmonies, They sleep when thou art gone in reveries. And heart and soul, onco blended, clash in harsh dispute. —Franklyn W. Lee in Chicago Herald.

THE OVERLAND TRAIL

In the rammer of 1873 1 was 80 years of age—in perfect health and of steady nerve. I was no believer in the uncanny —hardly in the supernatural—and had always poohpoohed at tales of ghosts, phantoms and visions of all sorts.

It is unnecessary to explain how I came to bo traveling in the far west without companions, except for horse and dog and gun. Following the general route of the old overland trail, I camped one night in the edge of a considerable forest, and at a point from which I could look forth over broad, open plain.

It was already after sundown. The good horse was picketed, and having provided a supper for myself and dog from a rabbit which my gun had brought down on hour or two earlier, 1 disposed things for the night, and as the stars came out, lay down to sleep, comfortably rolled in a blanket.

It was probably in the small hours of the night that I awoke and arose to a sitting posture. The moon was climbing the eastern sky, with not a feather of cloud in her course, and every object stood forth as clearly as in the day.

But it was not for me to contemplate in quietude tho rare beauty of the night. In almost tho first moment of consciousness my oyes fell upon a slowly moving object in the distance. It was one of those canvas covered wagons,the "prairie schooners" so familiar in tho early days of overland travel to California,

It was approaching almost directly toward me, and my curiosity was at once aroused. Why any one should be traveling thus. and so lato at night, I could not imagine. The movement was heavy, as if the horses were jaded, and the man who Walked by their side had a weary step.

Twenty minutes passed, the vehicle approaching nearer and nearer. 8till on it came. until when about thirty yards from mo it suddenly stopped, and the man, looking about, seemed to be considering the wisdom of making camp.

At this point I suddenly realized that the approach of the wagon had been utterly noiseless. What could this mean? Was I dreaming? No, I ,was never more awake. Was this hallucination? No for tho dog, who had been aroused by my movement in awakening, now turned his head in tho direction of the new arrival and uttered a low growl. I laid my hand on him to keep him quiet.

The man now stood by tho forward wheel, looking in at the opening of tho canvas top, and, though I heard no voice, I imagined that he was speaking to some one within. A woman's head appeared, and, after a glance around, gave a nod of assent, and tho man proceeded to unharness the horses and turn them loose to graze. Then after a moment, in which he seemed to be anxiously surveying tho trail over which they had come, ho helped the woman to alight.

And now their movements greatly puzzled me. Walking to and fro, they seemed to bo searching for some particular spot of ground. Finally the woman pointed to a space between two young tree*, and tho man, after looking at it for a moment, went to the rear end of the wagon jpul brought forth a spade. With the edge of this implement he marked off a rectangular space about five feet by two, and began to dig. All this, let it be remembered, was in absolute silence.

By this time my curiosity had turned to marvel. Here was a contradiction of common sense! I could not believe that what I saw was real: these beings must bo apjioritions. And yet here by my side was the dog. as alert as I, and trembling with an impulse to investigate, while obedient to my hand of restraint

The digging proceeded, and, the soil being soft, some five feet of depth was soon reached, and then the man threw out the spade upon the ground. The woman, meanwhile, had been plucking branches of %vergram, bringing them in aruifuls and throwing them beside—"the grave," I thought And now, with the utmost core and patience, the whole cavity wnsHined with these sprigs of evergreen held in place by twigs thrust into the backs on either side.

This done, the man sprang out. The two surveyed their work for a moment, and then, after gasing once more, as if in anxiety, over the route by which they had come, they approached tho wagon. Having rolled up the canvas on one side, they lifted out a small mattress, depositing it upon a blanket which they had spread upon the ground.

This mattress was not without ita burden. The beams©! the full moon enabled me to see there a ftlight form—that of a little girl who had scarcely lived out three yearn The pn*tiy white hand* vnere folded over the breast Long golden carta fell on either side upon the pillow.

The face, which I cmldse« with astonishing clearness, was wonderfully beautiful In its aspect of innocence and beans a lifelike smile, as if in answer to the ntdUuat queen of tho alqr, who seemed to

mem

be smiling, too, as she looked steadfastly down upon the living: and the dead.

The mother forthwith proceeded to arrange the spreads npon the chil4 tucking them and smoothing them down as if she were only putting her little one to bed, although, while I heard no sob nor any expression of grief, I could see that hear breast was heaving with sorrow and her face was visited by tears.

The two now knelt on either side, kissing their darling many times, and weeping over her, though trying apparently to comfort one another in their wretchedness, if perchance there might come in their hearts a calm like that with which the moon was still sending down her beams to illumine the tearfnl scene.

Then, laying hold of the blanket, they carried their darling to the grave, and by the aid of the bridle reins let the precious burden down into the place which they had so carefully prepared. Green boughs were scattered over her until the^ covered the beautiful form many inches deep, and then the clods were gently replaced, and a little mound was heaped, and the child, transferred from her mother's bosom, was sleeping at last in the bosom of that greater mother—Earth. The two sad mourners knelt again beside tho grave and seemed to be engaged in prayer, lifting their faces now and then to the sky, as if in its infinite clear depths they saw the future hopes.

All this—though I still thought it unreal—had awakened in me the keenest interest and sympathy. But my attention was now suddenly diverted to a line of figures in the distance, somewhat beyond the spot where I had seen the wagon when I first awoke. These were horsemen, who came sweeping on at a rapid pace, as if engaged in eager pursuit. From the manner in which they roSe I knew they were Indians.

Ah! I saw it all now, and understood why these spectral visitors had so often looked back so apprehensively in the direction from which they had approached. These pilgrims across the plains had seen signs of savages, and had used the night to push on beyond their reach, if haply they might bury their dead in peace and find safety for themselves. But tho foe had discovered their trail and followed them, bent on massacre.

I laid my hand instinctively on my rifle under the edge of my blanket, that I might join in the defense, and was about to cry out in warning of the danger I saw approaching, but instantly bethought myself that this was unreality, a mere vision, "calling for no practical action, and I might better let these shadowB work out their tragedy to the end. I again restrained the dog, who seemed agitated, whether because he saw what I was seeing or out of sympar thy with my emotion—I know not which,/

The two at tho grave seemed unconscious of the threatened danger until their enemies were within a hundred yards, when the man sprang up and lifted tho woman also to her feet. They turned toward the wagon, as if to gain its shelter and secure weapons for defence. It was too late. I saw flashes of fire and also a flight of arrows, still without a sound, however, to break the calm of the night.

Both the man and woman staggered as if wounded. They stopped and turned face to faco, throwing their arms about each other, as if realizing that this was their last embrace. Another volley, and still clinging to each other in the agony of death, they fell together upon the grave of their child.

Tho Indians were not long in completing their work. Then catching the horses and harnessing them into the wagon they hastened away, as though themselves in fear of pursuit. I watched them until they disappeared, and then was alone with my thoughts and the brilliant night.

I realized that I had soon a vision, and, although I turned mysolf resolutely to rest, my sleep for tho remainder of the night was fitful and disturbed. When finally I awakened again the sun had risen, and under the influence of that great dispeller of illusions, and in spite of the vividness of the night's experience, I began to think that, after all, I might havo been only dreaming especially when I saw that the space where I had seen the burial and the tragedy that followed was not open and clear, but overgrown with brush and young trees.

Nevertheless, yielding to a curiosity of which I was meanwhile almost ashamed, I soon mado my way into the bushes. Parting these with my hands as I went forward, and scanning the ground closely, I shortly experienced anew shock of surprise for there, in the exact spot marked by the night scene, was a little mound, and over it were the remains of two skeletons.

And now for a retrospective fact which gave to this weird experience of tho night a personal significance. While was yet a lad in my teens my brother, twenty years older, had taken his young wife and only child and set out to cross the plains in pursuit cf fortune. The mails had brought home tidings of their journey up to a certain point Beyond this all trace was lost, and we never heard of them again.

I have not been able to account satisfactorily for what I have related* Was this an indubitable intimation vouchsafed to me from another world as to the fate of my relatives? Was it impossible that I should have this vision elsewhere? And if this is the case, then why? Had nature photographed these tragic scenes and preserved their reflection, to reproduce them for an eye that was fitted by some occult law of sympathy to behold? Let the savants answer if they can—I cannot—Edward B. Payne ixtTrne Flag.

—1 THE FAKIR

"You axe invited to be preeent at the resurrection of our friend Athanase Chapuzot, artist, which is to take place at his own residence, Rue de Venus 22, Batignolles, Monday, Feb. 15, at 10 p. m., precisely."

The resurrection of Chapozot! Vs How is this? Chapuzot was then dead! I tl he had simply gone to America! "What strange adventure is this? "Parbleu," said I musingly, after a tew moment's reflection. "Why puzzle my brain over it, when a few hours' patience will explain the whole matter? Yos, today is Monday, Feb. 15,10 o'clock in the aborning. "Let us wait!"

I did wait, but very impatiently, and at 9:80 in the evening was at 23 Venus street, Batignolles, in the little court at the end of which stood the well known pavilion inhabited by Athanase Chapueot for the past ten years.

The door was ajar. I ascended the winding and creaking stairway which led to his studio with a rapid step and found myself in the presence of five persons. One of these approached me and extended Ms hand. This was Durocher, the notary. Upon a sofa in the back end of the studio I recognized Dr. Pourpardot and the sculptor, Roger Locost, seated close together conversing in a subdued tone. All three, like myself, were intimate friends of the artist Chapuzot, Near the window stood tnro persons erect, motionless, observant. As I strained my eyes to distinguish their features Durocher, with slight ceremonial gesture, presented us, saying as he did so: "Messrs. Stockfish— "Stockfish & Co., Boston, Mass., U. S. A."

Tho Messrs. Stockfish both bowed politely. I did the same. "Gentlemen," said Dr. Pourpardot, on rising from the sofa, "our number is now'complete we will proceed to remove the seals." "What seals?" I demanded, with the air of one considerably mystified. "A very proper question," said Roger Lacost, coming forward "we must not forget that our friend here knows nothing about the matter. It belongs to you, Durocher, in your legal capacity, to explain to him what has thus far transpired." ""Which is as follows," replied the notary. "Four months ago we were here, Pourpardot, Lacost and myself, guests of Chapuzot to asocial tea. You were absent from Paris, and consequently could not bo included amongthe guests. These two gentlemen*, the Messrs. Stockfish, picture dealers of Boston, presented themselves, on a matter of business, as they were to leave the next/morning for America, and had nearly concluded a large transaction with our friend. A few minutes before their arrival Char pnzot, who had been present the evening before at one of Pourpadot's clinic lectures, spoke with a lively appreciation of the singular cases of catalepsy he had seen there. Tho conversation was continued after tho arrival of the two merchants, and Pourpardot, in proof of his theory and assertion, referred to the practice of the fakirs of India, who permitted themselves to be interred while living and were resuscitated ten or twelve weeks after. "This statement was received with general expressions of incredulity. The Messrs. Stockfish especially refused persistently to put any faith in it, and pronounced the whole thing a mere feat of skillful jugglery and collusion. Whereupon Chapuzot, with whose impetuous temperament you are all familiar, cried out: 'Do you doubt it, gentlemen? Well! I will lay a wager that I can furnish the proof.' 'How? was the anxious inquiry. 'By repeating here in this wide awake Paris the wonderftd feat of the "Indian fakirs."' 'For what wager? 'Fifty thousand francs against the picture wMch you see herel' responded the artist 'Ten thousand dollars! AcceptedF 'And when will tho proof be furnished? «In three months, at your next visit to Paris? "Now, Pourpardot, Lacost and myself thought at the time that the whole thing was a sort of grim joke, mixed up with some of Chapuzot's bravado. "In this we were deceived. "Chapuzot had spoken in all seriousness. Nothing could move Mm or in any way make him recede from his crazy purpose.

1V*

"At the beginning of December, when the Messrs. Stockfish had returned to Paris, our friend Chapusot was fully prepared to enter upon the trying ordeal, having utilised the preceding three months in making the necessary preparations. "With an unconquerable energy and admirable patience hie had pursued, point after point, the method adopted by the faMrs of India. In the first place he had constructed a firm airtight box or trank. This was carefully lined throughout with carded cotton on which rested finely prepared lamb skins with their wooL "In this box he practiced remaining shot up, at first for a few minutes, then some hoars, then some days.

self to remain suspended with his feet in the air and 'his head toward the floor, and curved the point of his tongue backward so as to cover the entrance of the larynx and interrupt his respiration. As to nourishment, he restricted himself to the smallest amount of vegetable diet, the quantity of which he reduced from day to day. "The 14th of December last, at 8 o'clock in the evening, we were present here all five of us. The last conditions of the wager were made known by me in plain terms and the stipulated engagements of the agreement signed by both parties. Chapuzot was to remain two months inclosed in the box, completely deprived of air, light and nourishment TVv v" "I now commit to our friend Dr. Pourpardot, whose medical status renders hint more competent for the task, to detail to you what further was done." "And in doing so I will be as brief as possible," said Pourpardot "Athanase Chapuzot seated himself upon the floor, upon a square of linen, his limbe crossed, his face turned to the east Then he b~gan to squint, forcing the pupils of his eyes to converge by steadily fixing them on the point of his nose, inducing, as it were, a state of artificial strabismus. In a very few minutes magnetic catalepsy began to show itself. His eyes dosed and his extremities became rigid. While this was occurring he distinctively utterance to the following words, w' we all recognise as one line of a verse and the beginning of another:

Triotnphes done enfln cabales ennemies, J'entrest epootonement

He did not finish, but fell at once in a deep sleep. I drew near and plugged up both Ms nostrils with pieces of linen dipped in melted wax. This done I inclosed Ms whole person in the linen cloth on wMch he sat and tied the four corners over his head, like a sack. The knot made in this way was carefully sealed and stamped with the signet ring of the house of Stockfish & Co., of Boston. Finally we placed the body of our friend in the box prepared for its reocption, which was closed and locked, and which Messrs. Stockfish also sealed and stamped with the signet ring, as before mentioned. "After this we all loft, carefully securing the door, of which the Boston merchant retained tho key. "For every person but ourselves, the artist Athanase Chapuzot had departed for America. We have today reached the 15th of February, 1890. The hour of 10 is about to strike. Our friend Chapuzot has been inclosed in this box exactly two months, and we propose now to proceed to release Mm." "Where is this box?" I demanded.' "Under the piece of Oriental tapestry on wMch you sit," said Pourpardot

I arose with a bound. "You see, gentlemen," added the doctor, on removir* the piece of tapestry, "the seals are intact as for aa the box is concerned."

The box was now opened, and in a moment the body of Chapuzot, still enveloped in the sack, was plooedin a large tub wMch stood in the middle of the room. A vessel filled with water simmered on the stove. Pourpardot filled a can with tMs warm water and poured It slowly on the top of "the sack. He then broke the seal cautiously and revealed to our sight as he removed the linen cloth the corpse of Athanase Chapuzot, emaciated and shrunken like an apple exposed to the snows and frosts of the past winter. "You can satisfy ycurselvea, gentlemen," said Pourpardot, "that the body is cold, that no pulse can be felt at the wrists, nor even in the region of the heart"

He then poureft a large quantity of hot water on Mm, and commenced a vigorous friction or massage from head to foot. TMs done he applied a thick paste of almost burning temperature to the top of his head and removed the waxed tampons from Ms nostrils, opened Chapuxotfs mouth and replaced his tongue to its normal position so as to admit air in the larynx.

After the application of the third hot poultice to his head Chapuzot moved slightly, and a feeble pulse was perceptibleat the wrist Soon after he opened his eyes and slowly gave utteranoe to these four words in a distinct voice: "au pays des raoines." "He completes his distich!" cried Roger Lacost, "after sixty days' interval. TMs is marvelous!"

M. Stockfish had already drawn his plethoric check book from Ms pocket "Here is your check, monsieur," said he, banding a piece of bluish paper to Durocher. "We have lost We pay."

Stockfish juMor touched the elbow of his brother and drew him to the corner of the studio, where they conversed a moment in a low voice. After a few minutes they returned to us, when the elder said: "Gentlemen, your excellent friend M. Chapuzot must be at present very much fatigued. When he has sufficiently recovered will you kindly make to Mm a proposition from the house of Stockfish & Co. for Ms immediate consideration?" "Certainly," said Durocher. "Please

"This—that if he wffl consent to repeat in America fofa curious and interesting performance we offer him the sum of five hundred thousand francs for its presentation under the same conditions."

Athanase Chapuzot, completely recovered, has accepted the offer, and doubtless will before long preeent himself before an American audience in New York. —R. M. Denig in Paris Figaro.
