An Apparition
A Story of the Great
European War
By F. A. MITCHEL
During one of the Incursions of the
Russian armies into Gorman territory
11 general, passing the estate of u noble,
said to one of his uiils:
"Captain Ivanovleii, I wish you to re
main here till you get further orders
from me. Take half n dozen couriers
from my escort, and whenever you see
| or hear of tiny movement of the enemy
send mo word Immediately."
Captain Ivan Ivtinovlch left the staff,
directed the commander of the escort
to detail six men to utteud him and, fol
lowed by them, rode into the grounds
of the liouse, which was set ui>on au
eminence and commanded a view of
the surrounding country. Dismounting
at the main entrance, ho went up on to
the i>orch and rapi>ed loudly on the
door with the hilt of his sword. Au old
inau appeared, who seemed to be a
major domo, and the captain said to
him:
"I desire quarters here for awhile for
myself and my meu."
The old man invited him in, telling
him that the family, on the api>earauce
of foreign troops, had left the premises
In his care ttud gone elsewhere.
The captain chose a room for himself
on the second floor and quartered his
men in the basement, for Ivan Ivauo
vlch, being a noble himself and a re
lated man, felt disposed to treat the
place as he would wish his father's es.
tate far back In Russia to be treated
if the fortunes of war should bring
about its occupation by the enemy.
Iluvlng. thus taken ixtssesslon of his
quarters, he asked the major domo,
I etcr, if there was anything to eat in
the house. I'eter said that there was,
but uo one except himself to cook it.
But, since he had been a chef, he could
get up a meal of such provisions as
were lu the house. Tho captain direct
ed him to prepare breakfast for him
and give the men such supplies as they
needed.
Having refreshed himself, Captain
Ivanovich went out on the porch, which
extended entirely around the house,
and made the circuit, now and again
raising a pair of binoculars to examine
rising smoke here, a flag there, a
strong position on (he crest of the hiil
—anything, in short, that might be of
military lm|KirUince. There was no
flag In sight except the Russian impe
rial standard, and tho captalu, lowering
his glasses, went back into the house.
Being free to use the library, he took
down a book and, being a student as
well as a soldier, was soon lost in its
contents.
The next morning it occurred to him
thut a cupola that topped the house
would afford him a better view of the
surroundings, and he started to go up
there for the purpose. Finding the door
leading from the second floor to the
third locked, he called to Peter for the
key.
I haven t the Key, excellency, saw
Peter. "When the family left the prem
ises they placed articles valuable only
to themselves, such as papers and heir
looms, on the flour above, locked the
door and took the key with them."
Ivanovlch could have forced the door;
but, as has been said, he was a refined
man, unfitted for the barbarous side of
war, S'> he concluded to be content
with the view ho could get from the
porch. Quite likely ho was also Influ
enced by the earnest look on Peter's
face, which Indicated anxloty that he
should not Intrude on the floor whero
the family heirlooms and archives had
been stored.
One night while Ivanovlch was lying
awake ho heard a sound without his
room, in a large open space, through
which ran a massive stairway. Soldiers
In an enemy's country are naturally on
the lookout for danger, and, taking his
pistol from under his pillow, he got out
of bed and walked noiselessly oo his
bare feet to the door, ■which was ajar,
and peeped out. A surprising sight
met his view.
Bright moonlight was streaming in
through a large window at the head of
the staircase and dimly Illuminated
what at first the captain conceived to
be an angel. It was a female figure
robed in white. It was standing as if
to listen. The face was sufllclcntly
lighted to Indicate that It was that of a
young girl. On second thought Ivano
vlch believed that the figure was one of
flesh and blood wearing a nightgown
and walking in sleep.
The figure presently started on, de
scended the staircase and disappeared
in the dark no'.;. Ivanovlch, too honor
able to follow, remained whero he was,
thinking that probably the girl would
return. His anticipation was realized.
She reappeared, holding something In
her hnnil, though the watcher could not
seo what it was. Ascending to tlio door
opening on the third story, she passed
in and closed it behind her. Ivanorlch
listened nnd heard a faint sound, like
the grating of a bolt moving in a lock.
There wus no doubt in the captain's
mind that this girl was ensconced on
the floor nliove and thnt Peter know of
her presence there. Who she was,
whether any one else was with her, he
knew not. ITe resolved to keep his
own counsel, at least for awhile. It
was evident that a woman was hiding
on tllo floor above, and he did not con
ceive il to be his duty to disturb her^
Indeed, lie had already been sickened
by the honors of war and ready to
shield any cf its victims even among
his country's foes.
litit Captain Ivanovich thereafter
kept his eye - ami ears open. He walk
id around tlit house, looking up at tiie
windows. The blinds were ull closed,
und.there was not a sign of life to be
•seen. "After all." he said to himself,
"I wonder if I could have dreamed it"
However, Ivanovich repudiated this
idea. lie had seen a figure robed In
white descend the staircase, /eturn
and disappear through the door lead
ing to the floor above. Of this he
was certain, and the absence of any
appearance of life there did not con
vince him that lie was in error.
Soon after the appearance of the
mysterious figure the captain's atten
tion was diverted from its considera
tion by the appearance of a large force
of the enemy to the southeast. He
dispatched a courier to find the gen
eral, if possible, and later, hearing
heavy firing and seeing columns of
smoke in the same direction, be dis
patched another courier with another
message.
These matters having been attended
to, I lie yo.mg captain's mind again re
verted to the niyslery of the upper
story, lie said nothing to his men
about the matter, fearing thnt if he
did lie would excite a desire on their
part to investigate, whereas If there
were any investigating to be done he
preferred to do it himself. One duy
one of the troopers came to him and
told him that he had better leave his
quarters, for the man was sure the
house was Imuuted. He had seen in
the middle of the night a figure clad
hi white standing at an upper window.
The superstitious ltusslau, having con
sidered the third story vacant, natural
ly regarded the tigure at the window as
a wraith, ivanovich told him that the
tigure he had seen must have been an
Illusion, but failed to convince him.
There was a hillside back of the
house, covered by trees. Ivanovich
went out there with his binoculars and
remained a long while, watching what
was going on. The distance was too
great for hiin to gain much knowl
edge of any value, but he kept his
watch till satisfied thnt it was useless,
then turned and was emerging from
the wood, when, casting an eye at a
window on the third story of the
house, he saw standing there a young
girl looking at what he had been ob
serving.
This time the sun was shining full in
ber face, and the captain saw not only

A MERCILESS
JUDGE
One* Who Shows No Favor.
A merciless judge is Father Time.
Before him the weak and the w&nt
iuR go to the wall. Only the truth
can stand. For years the following
statement has withstood this Stern
est of all tests.
Joha Carpenter, 501 N. Stanton
St., El Paso, Texas, says: "I had
pains in my back, especially when
I arose from a sitting position or
made a sudden move. The kidney se
cretions were profuse at times and
tben again scanty and contained a
brick-dust sediment. During cold
weather, they were too frequent in
passage. Doan's Kidney Pills entire
ly relieved mo of the trouble"
(Statement given February 4,
1907).
LASTING RESULTS
On June 10, 1915, Mr. Carpen
ter said: "I haven't been troubled
by m.v kidneys in 6oma time and
feel that Doan's Kidney Pills have
brought about this healthy condi
tion of my kidneys."
Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy—
eet Doan's Kidney Pills—the same
that Mr. Carpenter has twice pub
licly recommended. Foster-Milburn
