land. tells how dream was the means OF
saving the lives of two little children. They
were daughters of blacksmith and dlsap-
peared one evening at dusk. Search par
ties secured the neighboring country dur
ing the night, but without success. One
of the searchers went to bed early the next
morning tired out with his long search,
but, unable to sleep, he passed into an un-
easy doze, when he dreamed that he saw
the missing children in hole at a certain
part of the woods which he and others had
passed in their search during the previous
evening. Though skeptical of dreams, he
got up and went to the place, and 10 and
behold, he found the children fast asleep,
though hidden by a dense pile of brush
wood
During recent breach of-promise suit
in England an epistle written by the faith,
less defendant was produced. In 1t he
stated that he would terminate all relations
with the young lady, as there were ''no
signs of the coal business ever becoming
fact" In explaining this peculiar reason
the defendant stated that for three nights
in succession he had dreamed that the
father of the girl had been made rich by
finding a rich seam of coal on one Of his
lands This dream had led him to court
the girl that he might investigate the mat
ter and see the likelihood of the dream
ever coming true, but his efforts being
fruitless he decided to break off the en-
gagement In summing up the case to
the jury the judge commented scathingly
upon the sordid motives Of the mercenary
lover and the Tilted one was awarded $3.50
| damages. The father, though a hard
headed business man, could not rid him
self of certain impressions received during
the young mans telling of his oft repeated
dream, so commenced boring for coal in the
field and as the sequel proved, found it in
such rich quantities that he and his daugh-
ter are now worth small fortune through
such find. The faithless lover now wishes
he had married the girl.
