Show A "Weird Incident. Some years ago the following strange incident took place In a West End club in London. There lay on the tnblo In one of the rooms a-list of members who had put down their names for an approaching approach-ing house dinner. A workman on a ladder, lad-der, who was putting the finishing touches to the decoration of the celling, let fall a single tiny splash of red paint, which dropped on the first name on the list and obliterated It as If with the stroke of a pen. Some of the members who noticed the occurrence thought It a very bad omen; others, llko Hamlet, defied augury. But curiously enough, the member whose name had thus been struck out was taken 111 the next day and died in the club on the night before the dinner was to havo takon place. |
