WARNED OF DANGER.
Apparition That Saved a Woman From
Being Bitten by a Cobra. ;
The following remarkable occurrence,
an absolute fact, was related by a» lady
visiting friends in Hartford as it was
toid her by her cousin in Meerat, northwestern India. It took place in the
house of the sister of thenarrator. Of
its absolute accuracy there can be no
ynestion. The two sisters in India are
connected with families of repute and
with officefs in the British army in India: We give the story as the lady here
telated it. She is a devout member of
the Episcopal chureh and is incapable
of misrepresenting in the slightest par. teular.
Her cousin, in whose house the occurrence took place, was seated at a lighted
table engaged in reading, when, think-.
ing it about time to retire, and happening to lift her eyes from the book, she
was astonished to see seated in a chair
before her, and between herself and thedoor to the bathroom, a man, a stranger
to her, whv calmly regarded her. It was
too great a surprise for her to speak and
demard who was thus intruding unbidden upon her privacy and what was
wautced. She remained for a‘inoment in
silent astonishment,

It was the lady’s hour for her evening

out her two pet dogs from their confinement in another room. They came barking furiously and ranning directly toward the bathroom. There, through the
open door, the lady was horrified to. see
on the ficor a monstrous cobra—the
snake whose bite is certain and speedy
death. Springing forward to save her
so instantaneously as to prevent her
seeing the reptile turning and escaping

If she had gone directly to the bathroom, as she would have done but for

cause for these complaints, as the
