Sleuth's Dream Came True.
Veteran Secret Service Man Of the Indiana District Tells How He
Was Once Aroused From Sleep to Capture Murderer.

Is II possible to dream things that
are hidden from the brain In waking
hours?
The question is we'll worthy OF con-
sideration, for probably every human
being has had dream which has
"come true" or which has been so re-
markable in Its revelation as to arouse
the question Just asked.
Scientists and psychologists have puz.
zled for ages over examples of mystic
rious psychic power, and every new
example remains as much a puzzle as
the first one.
Though he does not claim to possess
any psychic power, Captain Tom Halls,
United States secret service chief of
the Indiana district, has reason to be-
lieve that dreams sometimes work out
in real life with remarkable accuracy.
In fact, the study Of the psychological
phenomena of dreams may be said to
be the veteran sleuth's only hobby. AS
