Up in st. Lawrence county, be

lived in small village few miles

One day he hiched up his team
and went off with load OF produce
from his farm TO Potsdam. Night

His family was much frightened,
for such a thing bad never happened
before, and they felt sure that some
evil had befallen him
His son went 10 potsdam and
called at all bis fathers accustomed
haunis. only to find that the old man
bad sold his potatoes and started
Tor home before dark.
The family remained IS great dis.

afternoon, when Mr. Parker drove
in at the big farm gate. The old
man S clothes were torn, his face
bruised, a small portion OF his front
scalp was missing, and his horse
was broken. wiuded and all OF

4 story OF A Dream.

/ IL
was from the dean OF acertain cathe-
dral in the east of England that l
learned the following tale:
His niece, ordinarily a strong and
active young lady, was slowly re-
covering from an unusually severe
attack OF scarlet fever, and was in
a 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 d 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 bal
listers, the lower rooms aud the up
per room with all they contained,
and, finally, her attention focused
itself on one room in particular IA
bedroom, the walls OF which we're
covered with wall paper of pecu-
liar pattern.
In one corner of the room was a
bed and on it lay a sick man. He
was asleep, to judgcfrom his appear
ance. Suddenly and silently anoth-
or man entered the room, crept to-
ward the sleeper and with a quick
movement removed the pillow from
under his head.
The sick man awoke and stared
st the intruder with horror stricken
eyes. The next moment the pillow
was brought down on his face and
held there with all the murderers
strength. The sheets moved con-
yulsively; the sick man was being
smothered Whatfollowed the
sleeper never saw, for at that juno
ture she awoke with cry and fever
Of horror
For change OF air she was after
ward 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 in
a pony chaise. One day he took her
into the country tosee a house which
he thought might suit her, for her
people intended to take place in
the ueighborhood But on arriving
at the palings before the path that
lgd 70 the door the girl showed the
greatest reluctance TO get out OF the
chaise.
NO mol she said. not in that.

The dean told her she was talking
nonsense.
No no know the place

that the stairs is one curious balus-
ters, the pattern OF the wall paper is

bedroom to the right Of TIE stairs

corner and in that bed the man was

The dean discovered that all was
exactly as she said he knew also
that very strange death had taken
place lately in that house He pres.
sed her no further, agreeing with
her that the place would not do
There is no doubt that the girl,
through some strange bond of sym
pathy between her soul and that of
the murdered man, had Witnessed a
crime which to this day remains a
mystery.
