tack. madam"
There's man-there's q man COM

partly hid her face.

He comes to see me-" she said,
giving her head an indignant toss. 81
might as well own up that my face or
form, or conversational powers have
attracted him. Judging from his &C
tons ne seems to love me-"
docs, Ell? Has he ever brought
you peppermint drops? Has he ever
read poetry to you? Have you ever
noticed him gazing at the moon like a
goat looking up at a bunch of grass on
the caves of shed?"
Il am satisfied that he loves me-"
che musingly replied, "and l con-

THAT YOU love him.
She blushed.
Which was very. very proper in her.
"Same as ever-old, old story-end
in the usual way-no cards." he sighed,
as he shifted the cat SO that her yellow
eyes glared across the room at a jug of
sweet cider just brought in by farmer.
After he left me last night had a
dream," she said. 81 dreamed that l
was trying to darn pair of socks with
door key for needle and some tele-
graph wire for yarn. While l was
trying to mend the holes heard morn
blow, and looking out Of the window /
saw-whaty
"A fish peddler, of course"
"No, sir! | saw two horse wagon
loaded with cofins! The dream awoke
me, and l found myself sitting up in
bed 1t has worried me ever since,
and / want to know if you can interpret
it."
Madame" began Bijah, as he rose
up and smoothed down his head, "you
have come to the right man, and at the
right time, have never Dragged around
any on my power to interpret dreams,
but being it's you l will say that can
knock the spots off of any other human
being in this town on the dream bust
ness.
"And you can tell me the significance
of this one?"
"Humph. Should think could. In
the first place you dreamed Of socks.
That's sign that the woman next door
is jealous because you are better look
ing than she is, and she's been SANDER
ing YOU"
"She has? Then I'll pull her peaked
nosew exclaimed the dreamer.
"Then you dreamed of door-key.
That's sign of an accident. Be careful,
madam, and don't hit the clothes-line

"Don't you? SO much the better.

if you go. to fall. Also, don't jump on
a sire etcar when in motion"

on an old bottle and have fatal case
of lock-jaw."
Il so barefooted!' she gasped.

any peanuts for a month, throw the
shucks away. Even if they don't hurt
you there is only two per cent. OF nour-

"Yoa heard horn blow, and that is
a good sign. I've known women who
had struggled with cold feet for eighteen

from the bottom of my heart at your
good luck. Then you dreamed OF cot
