said good night to his parents and went
to his own room and was soon In bed
fast asleep.
1t must have been almost midnight
when Harry awoke, the bright moonlight
beaming full in his face. He had been
dreaming of his snow man, dreaming that
he had come to life and was walking
about in the yard, hat and stick In hand.
The dream had been SO vivid that even
after waking Harry felt that 1t must be
true, and lay In half-dazed condition
marveling that a snow image should be-

Then slight noise from the yard be-

So as the fall days waned May dreamed
md dreamed of the interesting relics of
a past race that were possibly to be got
for the trouble of digging among the dis
tant blue hills.

An hour later Harry. well coated and
mittened, was busy gathering together

of material before beginning to model his
snow man. As soon as he had quite

work. BY noon the mans legs were done,
