"ve Mysterious Light That George Cary Eggleston Defied. There was dud perhaps still is a room in a certain house in Virgitia which was supposed to he haunted. Every time a person slept there he would be sure to wake after awhile to find the whole room pervaded by a dim yellowish gray or grayish yellow light. It was very dim at first, but it increased steadily till the occupant of the chamber fled from the nameless terror in pane, Mr. George Cary Ege gleston was not to be daunted by these tales and accordingly decided to try a night there. Ip "Recollections of a Varied Life" be tells what happened: It was about midnight when I en. tered the room. It was raining heav- ily, and the wind was rattling the stout shutters of the eight great win- dows of the room. 1 went to each of those windows and minutely examined it. They were hung with' heavy curtains of deep red. Having completed my examination, explored the closets and bolted the door, 1 went to bed. The great four poster was inexpressibly comfortable, and the splash and patter of the rain as it beat upon the window blinds was as soothing as a lullaby 1 forgot all about the experiment in which I was engaged, all about ghosts and their ways, and went to sleep After a time 1 suddenly waked to find the room dimly pervaded by that yellowish gray or grayish yellow light which bad so disturbed the slumbers of others in that chamber. My awak- ening was so complete that all my fac. utiea were alert at once. { felt under my pillow and found the pistol still where I had placed it, _ Instead of springing hastily from bed, 1 lay there for a time, watching the weird light as it slowly, almost imperceptibly, increased in intensity. I decided that the gruy distinctly pre dominated, bat In. the meantime the steady increase in the light and its pervasiveness warned me, and | sMp- ped out of bed. The rain wis still beating heavily against the window blinds, and the strange yellowish gray light was etill slowly but steadily increasing. I was resolute, however, in my determina. tian not to be disturbed or hurried by any manifestation. In response to that determination I glanced at the mirror and decided that the mysterious light was sufficient for the purpose, and I resolved I would shave Havirg done so, I bathed in the rap. idly increasing light. 1 was deliberate, however, in donning my clothing, and not till I was fully dressed did I turn to leave the room. I turned the key. A second later I was out of that chamber, and the oak« en door of it was securely shut behind me. I went down the great stairway, | slowly, deliberately, in. pursuance of my resolution. I entered the large hallway below and thence passed to the oak wailnscoted dining room, where I sat down to breakfast with the rest of the company. It was 9 o'clock of a dark, rainy, morning. The grayish yellow Mgh§ was daylight. ' Prince Albert Mrs. Ettey and Mrs. T. Purner'vis- ited their friends recently on Scugog Island, They took in the social at Mr. T.
