went forward aud touched the man or
the shoulder; when the whole scene i'm.
mediately faded away, and he awoke.
William was not accustomed to attach
much importance to dreams, and seeing
sufficient In what had occurred the pre-.
vious day to sccount for the troubled
state of his brain in the night, he soon
dismissed the subject Of his dreams from
his thoughts. An advertisement In the
local paper, however, which met his eye

years ago. His application was grant

tablished as agent at Wheal Splendour.
In due time the adit was reached.
They had found nothing SO far among
the debris in the shaft; and the young
Captain concluded that when his father
fell down, he must have dropped straight
into the water in the shaft, and have
been borne down by the falling mass.
After a careful examination of the plat,
he turned aside into the adit level; but
he had not gone far before he saw some
thing which made him stop short and
tremble from head to foot. 1t was his
dream come back to him! There, a few

stone and leaning forward, the general
outline of the head and trunk was pre-
served, and the two legs reaching to the
ground were quite distinct.
A solemn pause ensued. The men
looked at each other. but knew not what
to say. At last William stretched out

"Measuring the Baby.''

Don't measure the baby! There is an
old superstition that if you do it will die
before the year is out, and it's always
|1best to be on the safe side. Do you see
that name written in lead pencil on the
decreasing? Well, that's where we
measured the baby. If you get down
on your knees you will be able to read,
Jim; Just so high. - It wasn't q year
ago that we all came out here, father,
mother. and the girls, and got down on
the grass and stood him up, there He
was sight to look at-al pink and
white, with the softest rings of hair. and
eyes like violets in the spring, and he'd
laugh and tumble down and we'd all
laugh and cheer him up again, and Jen-
ny laid the pencil fiat on his head, and
notched the wall, and then we wrote
that to mark the spot, but I've wished
many time since I'd never had it done.
You see we had been reading some pref
ty verses about that very thing, and it
just fitted to our baby exactly in the be-
ginning 7zt aae -s'ai . '-t' '-.

And the boy was just as tall.
/ That was so like our baby that cut
that verse out and pasted it in the blank
leaf of the big Bible. Then Jenny said
there were more verses that suited him,
but after getting the full drift OF the
poetry most wished we hadn't seen it,
but took two more verses and let them
go with the others here they are:
His eyes were wide as bltie bells,
Chats little Jim exnctlyo
His mouth like flower unblown;
= Chats him again.
: Two little. bare feet, like funny white mice,
: Peeped out from his snowy gown.
. And we thought, with thrill of rapture

: Wen measure the boy again.
: Now, if it had stopped there, as ex-
pected it would, I'd have nothing to
say, there'd be another mark on the
decreasing g so much higher" but
but-well, whats the use of beating
about the bush in this way! You see
there's no mark there, and it wasn't SUI
perstition after all. Invent to-day into
the room where he lay. all white and
peaceful like, and so still that it was q
sin to cry and disturb his sleep, and /
added the rest of the poetry, that Jenny
had kept without knowing why, to the
Bible. 9air" 81:

again measure the baby, for he has gone

his post at the Devonshire mine, one of
the men there died underground, which
scircumstance greatly affected him. The
man had been working with boy in a
branch shaft when, saying that he, felt
unwen, he left his comrade. to go to the
surface. On the boy subsequently max
ing inquiries for him, he could not learn
that he had been seen at surface since
he first went down to work; nor had he
gone straight home, as the lad found on
calling there. His wife being alarmed,
hurried back to the mine with the youth,
and persuaded two miners to go down
and search for the missing man. They
found him in q corner of plat about
halfway up from the place where he
worked, sitting on piece of timber,
dead. 81
Z, The excitement attendant upon this
incident kept William, or Captain Will
liam, as we must now call him, awake
for q long time after he retired
IN which he had been placed himself,
stories of accidents that he had heard,
rushed upon his mind, and when
he did at last fall asleep, they mixed
themselves in wild confusion in his
dreams. Toward morning his mind be-
came moro settled and less extravagant ;
and in the last dream of all, he was in a
level gazing at man sitting on piece
of rock, leaning forward, with his face
buried in his hands, his elbows resting
on his knees. The man had no hat on,
and his hair was thick with clotted
blood. As the dreamer stood and
looked, not with astonishment or fear,
but as it were spellbound, he heard Aunt

"Ifwin try to keep her quiet; but it
will be hard job" said Aunt Betsy.
"She will be asking all sorts of ques-
tions; and how to conceal the truth I
don't know. I could not think of telling
her downright lie about it. i"
Aunt Betsy was right in her conjec-
ture. 1t was no easy task to induce Mrs.
Pollarrack to rest satisfied. Every few
minutes she would restlessly inquire if
William had returned yet; and she
would want to know where he was sent
and on what business.
