palings before the path that led to the door the girl showed the greatest reluct- ance to get out of the chaise.
 NO! no!'' she said, mot that place! 1 will not be taken there! It is the place l dreamed off
 The Dean told her she was talking non sense.
 No, mol I know the place! will prove it to you. You will find that the stair Is one with peculiar balusters, the pattern of the wallpaper is as I will de- scribe 1t to you, also the peculiar pattern on the walls of that bedroom to the right of the stair landing. The bed is placed in the corner, and In that bed the man was murdered. I will not go ini'
 The Dean discovered that all was ex- actly as she had said; he knew also that a very strange death had taken place lately in that house He pressed her no further, agreeing with her that "the place would not do."
 There is no doubt that the girl, through some strange bond of sympathy between her soul and that of the murdered man, had witnessed a crime which to this day remains a mystery.

COULD HE WHIP JEEERIEs2
Broadway Cop Who, corbett Says,
 Would Make a Champion.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
 There is a policeman on the Broadway squad who in the opinion of experts, has pugilist. James J. Corbett holds this view and if the cop should follow his advice he would quit the force and begin at once to try for the heavyweight champion ship.
 At present the policeman has no idea of giving up his $14OO a year job He Is constantly In dread that his superiors may hear that such a proposition has been made to him and hold 1t against him. He Is a modest chap and doesn't want people to think he is a scrapper
 Physically he has been pronounced an almost perfect type of manhood. He Is as straight as an arrow and stands 6 feet 1 inch in his stockings. He is of the same build as Jim Corbett was when he wrested the championship from John l.. Sullivan. He Is only 23 years old
 COrbett was the first man to discover the cops cleverness. He boxed with him and pronounced him wonder both with his hands and in leg work. Since their first meeting over a year ago they have boxed scores of times. Corbett is more firmly convinced now than ever that his police friend is world-beater.
 When they put the gloves on together 1t is at an uptown gymnasium. The for mer champion always keeps in pretty good trim and he and the buecoat often have lively go. The fame or the COD as boxer has spread among sporting men, and invitations to see him and Cor bett box are eagerly sought.

A Story of a Dream.

By the Duke of Argyle in Royal Magazine. thedral In the east of England that learned the following tale:
 His niece, ordinarily strong and &C., tive young lady, was slowly recovering from an unusually severe attack of scar let fever, and was in very nervous and weak condition when, one night. her sleep was disturbed by strange and terrible dream.
 It seemed to her that she stood before a house she had never in her life seen before, and that her sight could penetrate the walls as though they had been of glass The whole interior lay open to her view; the staircase with curiously carved balusters. the lower rooms and the upper r.oms with all they contained and. final ly. her attention focused itself on one room in particuiar-a bedroom. the walls of which we're covered with wall paper of a peculiar pattern.
 In one corher of the room was a bed. and on 1t lay a sick man. He was asleep, to judge from his appearance. Suddenly. and silently another entered the room. crept toward the sleeper. and with quick movement removed the pillow from under his head.
 The sick man awoke and stared at the intruder with horror stricken eyes. The next moment the pillow was brought down on his face and held there with all the murderer's strength. The sheets moved conyulsively; the sick man was being smorhered %* What followed the sleeper never saw. for at that june ture she awoke with a cry and in a fever of hoRsor.
 For change of air she was afterwards taken to the cathedral town. and stayed for awhile at the house of the Dean. her uncle. He tried to amuse her by driving her about lin a pony chaise. One day he took her into the country to see house which he thought might suit her, for her people intended to take place in the neighborhood. But on arriving at the

The most ingenious was invented by man who bound piece of plug tobacco under his arm until he was as yellow as gold, including the whites of his eyes.

SIBERIA ARRIVES
At SAN FRANCISCO
STEAMER ARRIVES AND IS LARG-
EST VESSEL THAT EVER PASS
ED THROUGH GOLDEN GATE.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 3--The giant
steamer Siberia the second of the Pa
Ctic Mail COmpany's new liners, arriv-
ed in port yesterday from New York.
The Siberia is the largest vessel that
ever came through the Golden Gate.
She has a net tonnage which exceeds
that of her sister ship, the Korea, by
three tons. The Siberia left New York
fifty three days ago, and on the entire
voyage around the Horn averaged six
teen knits. She put in at Barbados on
December 22d, to secure medical atten-
ton for a seaman who had his hand
crushed. Coal was taken al MOntevi-
dec and Coronel, and the big steamer
occupied six days in filling her capa-
ciOus bunkers.
The best days run made by the ST.
IBERIA was 395 miles. She steamed
through the Straits of Magellan in
twenty-five hours, which Captain
Smith claims is a record. The cargo
brought by the Siberia amounts to T.
900 tons and is consigned to Williams,
Dmond & Company.
The big steamer is a counterpart of
the Korea, with the exception of the
slight difference in size. The Siberia
measures 575 feet in length, SO feet
beam and 40 feet in depth. She regis
ters II, $50 tons gross and 5,655 tons net.
On her trial trip the steamer made
twenty-One knots, and it is claimed
that she can make better time than the
Korea. The vessel was originally
scheduled to leave here on February
18th, but now she will probably take
the run of the City of Picking and
leave for the Orient early in March. A
Chinese crew will be placed on the
steamer, and Captain j. Tremaine
Smith formerly of the City of Picking,
will be in command.
