Transferred Impressions.

When I was an apprentice in a drapery establishment, used to go to dinner at F and return at 12:30. My employer was very strict and hot tempered. which made me anxious to avoid his displeasure. The shop stood at the corner of Castle street and Rating row, Beaumaris, and lived in the
 latter street. One day went home to din-
 ner at the usual hour. When I had partly
 finished looked at the clock To my as-
 tonishment it appeared that the time by the
 clock was 12:3O I gave an unusual start.
 certainly thought it was most extraordi-
 nary. had only half finished my dinner
 and it was time for me to be at the shop. I
 felt dubious, so in few minutes had another
 look, when to my agreeable surprise I found
 that I had been mistaken. It was only just
 turned 12:15- could never explain how
 it was that I made the mistake. The error
 gave me such shock that for few minutes
 I felt as if something serious had happened,
 and had to make an effort to shake of the sensation. I finished my dinner and returned to business at 12:3O. On entering the shop
 I was accosted by Mrs. Owen, my employers g
 wife, who used to assist in the business.
 She asked me rather sternly where I had
 been since my return from dinner? I replied
 that had come straight from dinner. A
 long discussion followed which brought out the following facts. About quarter of an hour previous to my actually entering the shop c. c., at about 12:15) I was seen by MT. and Mrs. Owen and a well known customer, Mrs. Jones, to walk into the shop, go behind the counter and place my hat on the peg. As was going behind the counter Mrs Owen remarked, with the intention that should hear, ''that had arrived now that was not wanted" This remark was prompt ed by the fact that few minutes previous g customer was in the shop in want of an arti ele which belonged to the stock under my charge, and which could not be found in my | ahaapca Ia sOon fIiG cuSkouner Iaff xUa, | seen to enter the shop. It was observed by MT. and Mrs. Owen and Mrs. Jones that ] did not appear to notice the remark made I In fact looked quite absent minded anG | vague. Immediately after putting my ha
 on the peg returned to the same spot, pu my hat on again and walked out of the shop 1 still looking in very mysterious manner 1 which incensed one of the parties, I thinl
 Mrs. Owen, to say, 'that my behavior wa 1 very odd, and she wondered where was of l to-" I, of course, contradicted these state ] ments, and endeavored to prove thatI could | not have eaten my dinner and returned in | quarter of an hour. This, however, availet nothing, and during our discussion the abov mentioned Mrs. Jones came into the shoI
 again and was appealed to at once by MT | and Mrs. Owen. She corroborated everJ word of their account and added that shs
 saw me coming down Rating row when with 1 in few yards of the shop; that she wa l only step or t~o behind mo, and entered l the shop in time to hear Mrs. Ovens remark about my coming too late. These three per. sons gave their statement of the affair quite
 independently of each other There was no other person near my age in the Ovens em-
 ployment, and there could be no reasonable
 doubt that my form had been seen by them
 and by Mrs Jones. They would not be-
 lieve my story till my aunt, who had dined
 with me, said positively that did not leave
 the table before my time was up. You will
 no doubt notice the coincidence. At the mo-
 ment when felt, with starting sensation,
 that ought to be at the shop, and when Mir.
 and Mrs. Owen were extremely anxious that
 I should be there, appeared to them, look ing as they said, ''as if in dream or in 8 state of somnambulism
