A VISITOR FROM BEYOND.

DEAD HUSBAND 'MEETS LIVING WIFE. London, December 21. A lively interest in Spiritualism, owing to the presence of the world’s ireputed best mediums, Schneider and Marjory, lias induced the Evening Standard to invite its readers to tell their own experiences. Amidst a mass of remarkable versions is one featured to-day which is calculated to arouse a controversy and appears to he entitled to he ; regarded as the world’s -most extraordinary ghost story. It is a letter from Dorothy Reeves, wife of a dirt-track rider who- was killed at the Leicester Speedway on- September 22nd, 1929. She says, “Three months ago my husband ivas killed, at 9.5 p.m. Three days afterwards I Avas draxvn like a magnet to the iSpeedAvay, Avith an uncontrollable desire to Avalk on the trank. I Avas accompanied by my husband’s friend and former mechanics. Upon reaching the spot whore he was killed, I lost thought of my companions, because my husband avus Avaiting with his oavii racing model. He smiled, nodded to me to mount the pillion, and I was miraculously able to do so. We completed the course together, he talking and laughing throughout until reaching the paddock gate, Avhen he drove off alone, gradually being transformed into a ball of mist. Suddenly I returned to earth to find one mechanic sobbing heart-(brokenly and the others pale and ill. The spectacle appeared at 9.5 p.m. To my % intense relief, the three men had also Avitnessed it, otherwise' I should have thought myself insane.

“Prior to this I Avas a staunch disbeliever, poo-pooing the ’ spirit idea, although my husband Avas credited Avith great psychic poAvers. He A'OAved lie AA-ould convert me if it took a hundred years. During the fatal race-meeting, he had a presentiment that lie “Would die that day, but none could dissuade him from riding. Two months previously he chose and autographed the Avood for his coffin.

“Though now convinced of life in the spiritual sphere, I do not understand why a material motorcycle could appear. This same machine was in a near-by Avorksliop, entirely dismantled, and Avas emphatically not the one used on -the fatal night. “Several times since, I have both seen and felt him, but I lose the power of speech at. such monymts.”
