CONTINUED From Yesterday,

81 have just made a decision, the
most important decision Of my life"
continued the detective, land l want
you to know about it. You are the
only person in the world who will know
everything. SO listen. This afternoon
1 went into Notre-Dame Church and |
saw a young girl there who sells can
dies. I didn't know her, but she looked
UP in a queer way. as if she wanted to
speak to me, so I went to her and
well, she told me of a dream she had
last night"
"a dream?' snorted the cominissary.
so she said. She nay have been
lying or she may have been put up to
1t; / know nothing about her, not even
her name, but that's of no consequence;
the point is that in this dream, as she
called it, she brought together the two
most important events in my life"
Him! What was the dream?'
"She says she say me twice. once in
a forest near q wooden bridge where a
man with a beard was talking to q
woman and a little girl. Then she saw
me on a boat going to a place where
there were black people
What was Brazil?"
IL suppose so. And there was a
burning sun with a wicked face inside
that kept looking down at me. She
says she often dreams of this wicked
face, she sees it first in a distant star
that comes nearer and nearer. until IL
gets to be large and red and angry.
As the face comes scloser her fear
grows, until she wakes with q start of
terror; she gays she would die of fright
IL the face ever reached her before she
awoke. That's about ALL
For some moments the commissary

pre& this dream?"

him to take care of baby while l am
gone. Please send me a real motherly
sort of one. The last one was not at all
careful about the temperature of the
milk. Yes. that's all. thanks. Goodby.
Right afterward comes the messen-
ger. He doesn't look like the American
variety. He has an official air and an
atmosphere of solidity that could never
grow in the climate of the States.
"'Eere Hi am, lydy," he says. "Hany
special instructions. and 'ow hoften do
you feed hit?"
Instructions are given and madame
sallies forth with ar easy mind.
The messenger rocks the cradle, he
even sings. If he has been told. he
takes the baby out for a walk, pushing
the perambulator with all the dignity
of a father. He knows just what tenn
perature the milk should be and he
| feeds the nursing at the right times.

Jimmy.
Jimmy. aged Is, answered a call to
an apartment house in the "Hif' sec

The young woman who sent In the
call had received an urgent summons
to the bank. Following a custom OF
London matrons, she sent for a mes

The commissary spoke with deeper

he clasped the detectives hand and
added heartily: 'Tm proud of you,

Coquenil looked at Pougeot with an
odd little smile. You take it just as I

stupid blunder. doesn't it? Well, it

BY WILLIAM WORDSWORTH.

So through the darkness and the cold
we flew,
And no a voice was idle: with the din
Smitten, the precipices rang aloud;
The leafess trees and every ice cras
TinkIed like iron; while far-distant
hills
into the tumult sent an alien sound
OF melancholy not unnoticed, while the
stars
Eastward were sparkling clear, and In
the west
The orange sky of evening died away.
Not seldom from the uproar I retired
into a silent bay, or sportively
Glanced sideway. leaving the tumultu-
Gus throng
To cut across the reflex of a star
That fled, and, flying still before me,
cleaned
Upon the CLASSY plain.
