Dreamed of
Hidden Gold

A singular %certifcation Of a dream
was the experience of Mrs. Rachel
Moores of T%eXarkana, Ark. In 1866
she was living with her husband, Mai.
David Moores, on a plantation about
80 miles south of TexarKana. They
had a large sum of money which the
husband took out one night and bur-
led. Ten years later he died quite
suddenly, without even revealing to
the wife the hiding place of the money,
and although diligenG and repeated
search was made, no trace Of the bur-
led treasure was ever found. Mrs.
Moores, who is now more than 20
years old, has remained a widow, liv-
ing most of the time alone since her
husbands death. A few weeks ago

which she saw in the old plantation
with certain landmarks the spot where,
as her dream indicated, the money vas
buried. In a few nights the dream
was repeated, and thereafter at inter

each dream being an identical repe-
