Tab GRANGE lived. Tab was standing
at the gate. dreamily looking up and
down the road. He was of a poetic
temperament and was given to fits OF

Dave, so deep was his abstraction. but
when Dave spoke. he slowly turned his

Late that afternoon while Tab was
moping along a dreamy road. he met
Nell. She was riding. ard violently she
Ieined up her horse. and with flashing
eyes she said: You ought to be
ashamed of yourself for sending me
that thing. Pap says it's a pretty in

beautiful
THAT amt bad thought" Tab re-
piled. I'm almost tempted to say [

self. But didn't send it, so you may
rest easy on that score. Dreamy day,

She flashed her eyes at him and rode
on. He resumed his dreamy stroll, and
little further along he came upon
something that opened his eyes. On

was gone. He was alive and fearless.
He rushed out in front of the horse.

stopped him, but he was badly hurt.
The girl in great fright ran home. leav-
ing Tab on the ground, and some of the
neighhors took him up and
bore him away. During two
days it was thought that he
could not get well, but he rallied and
the doctor said that he was on the road
to recovery. When he regained con-
seriousness Nell was sitting beside him.
He looked at her and then shut his
eyes. 81 thought it was a DREAM
