MITCHEL We in America who have outgrown a belief in the supernatural are not im- pressed by those legends that are still in vogue among peoples nearer to na- ture. Science, while it has advanced Qs, has taken much of the imagination out of us, leaving us like the stalks from which flowers have been stripped. I have envied those untutored persons who still believe the dead may at times mingle with the living, While traveling in Spain I stopped for a few days in the province of La Mancha. The peasants of the region are much given to legends and believe in ghosts. | was walking through a valley one day when | came to a little eburch surrounded by the typical yard studded with tombstones. | went through the gate und came upon the sexton, who was digging a grave. It was a peaceful place, a hamlet of the dead, “each in his narrow cell,” and 1 found myself regarding it as such rather than that the heaped mounds should cover only earth. I spoke to the sexton, who got out of the grave to answer certain questions I asked him. “Do you believe the dead ever come out of their graves and walk about here?” “I have seen them myself, senor,” he replied. “In what form?” “Of a moonlight night I have seen airy figures moving about among the tombs.” “Near by or from a distance?’ “From a distance. They are shy of us mortals.” “Don’t you think what you say you have seen were rays of moonlight com- | { | ing through the branches of the trees?” “Oh, no, senor,” he replied. “They are really the dead. But it is of no! use to try to get near them, for as soon | as mortals approach they become in- | visible.” | “Are there no persons they will per- mit to approach them?” Now, 1 asked the question with a, purpose, for I confess I am not a dis- | | believer in communications between the living and the dead and have a be- susceptible of being impressed by spir- | its—in other words, are mediums. | The man leaned on his spade and ap- | peared to be thinking. The southern sun gilded his wrinkled brow as he framed his reply, and it occurred to me | that he would make a fine model for “The only persons I have ever known to in their human shapes are children. There is one per- son buried here—a woman—who will | always manifest herself to a child. | They say, senor, that she lost all of | her children before they reached the age of twelve. If a child comes here she will arise from her grave and sit upon the tomb built over it and look at the little one wistfully.” This was something definite, and I “Will she permit a child to approach her?” I asked. “The children who have seen her say that as they approach she fades away and when they get to the tomb there is no one there.” “Do the children only see her when they are here alone?” “Children are never here alone. They are not admitted when alone. If they come it is under the care of older per- sons.” “And do the older persons see this Why the Farmers are for Major. | | . | Butler People Give Credit Where Credit | is Due.
