There was a fearfulnes about
Dickie's voice that made him trem-

to speak, but the words ratified like
parchment in his throat.
"Now." said Dickie, very softly, II

he sighed, Il have come to tell you

The candle still sputtered softly,

rowfully-as through mist.
Then, at last, fear wrenched his
naked soul. and the .deep-tearing
agony wrested loose his tongue.

ished alike, and there was only he
standing with outstretched arms, all
forlorn in the tense silent shadows.
He moaned and sank back, fighting
for breath.
And with that he awoke. He was
seated in his chair and the light was
burning low. So--he had forgotten,
after all. Now, of course, he remem-
bered; yet, as he stared woefully
about the vacant room, sudden ter

wrist tingled-the wrist that he had
burned in his dream-and precisely
in that small spot where the dream
candle had nipped him. He tried to
laugh it off, but the silence seemed
to get into his throat and strangle
him. In panic, he turned up the

Why is it necessary for any one who

After the Sea1nan's Institute was
destroyed by the earthquake she was
one of little group of devoted wo-
men who stood by the mission in all
its vicissitudes and it was partly due
to her efforts in raising money and
interesting others that new and fin

ashes of the old. Many an entertain

amusement for the sailors, who were

any sailor may bestow his belong
ings; a post office. savings bank, cot

hall, where entertainments are given
and where there are newspapers in
