VinCn mo of ;fs rnol;4,.

replied Julian, "and it will take time to con-
vince me of It's reality"
"Well, money ought TO be tangible enough"
said the lawyer 'If you feel like drawing for
few thousand now I'll arrange it for you"
Such proposition was not to be refused,
and in the course of the day Julian had ten
thousand dollars to his credit in the bank
And then he broke down under the strain,
For long weeks he lay either unconscious or
delirous and the watchers by his bedside
wondered at his talk.
Ills good luck turned his brain for the
time, said old Mr.. Howard
And this was the view people took Of the
case The sober business men of the town
refused to believe that pennilcss young man,
with nothing to back him but dream. had Sc
cured almost unlimited credit and rich
heiress i'll the bargain
dreams don't pan out that way" said one
OF them, and this was the general opinion.
But Julian, warned by the tricks his imagi-
nation had played him. lost no time in obtain
ing his legacy aud converting it into substan-
tial investments.
When this was dono he led sweet Alice
Howard to the altar
Once he said to her that he was indebted to
a dream for his greatest misery and his great
est happiness.
This was all that he could be induced to say
He had passed through a terrible crisis, and
during the remainder Of his life his greatest
desire was to forget all about it.
