The skeptcal are apt to laugh and
maybe sheer at those who believe in the
omen Of dreams Truth, however, IL
stronger than fiction, and numerous in
stances could be quoted Of dreams which
have foreshadowed tragedy. quite recent
~, for instance the Rev. j. Taylor Collins,
rector Of Duffsrton. Appleby, told OF the
sad death OF his son. and Of dream
which. although he did not know at the
time, came as a warning OF the tragedy.
Mr.. Collins son went TO sea in January,
1910 and about two months afterward the
father dreamed he was in room unfa
miliar to him. and while there saw his
boy jump into the room and then vanish,
IT do not pay much attention TO
dreams" says Mr. Collins, "and did not
recall the date of this though wish
had. In June. on the arrival Of the ship,
received the information that my boy
was dead. He had fallen from one OF the
masts during a gale in March"
Mystery of the Missing Man.
More amazing still was a woman's start
ling dream which, at the beginning of
| January led to the discovery of the suicide
Of a man who was missing. The latter
was a well known local preacher at Luton
and the woman dreamt that she saw him
seated in front of the pulpit with bowed
head This dream so worried her that
| her husband decided to visit the hall and
investigate. with another member of the
mission and police constable they went
to the hall and found the door locked
from the inside. They forced an entrance,
and there found the missing man hanging
from one OF the beams.

not hearing anything of him for several
days, became alarmed. more when she
received a letter from her brother-in-law,
| with whom she had had no communication,
in which he stated that on the previous
| night he had dreamt that his brother
Samuel had cut his throat in Kent Police
inquiries were made. and a result Of
their investigations the woman went to
Orpington, where the body of a man had
been found who had cut his throat. 1t

Perhaps the best known dreams fortell-
ing death are those Of Lady Andover,
daughter Of the famous Coke of Norfolk. "
While staying with her husband at her
old home in Norfolk she dreamed that he
had been shot, and in Difference to her
entreaty Lord Andover did not go out with
the shooting party. AS the day wore on
Lady Andover's dream made less impress
sion, and, knowing how devoted to shoot
ing her husband was, she suggested that
he should 20 out for the rest of the after
noon.
Visions of Lady AndOver.
No sooner had he gone than she begar
to feel more uneasy than ever, and she
went out after him. but while crossing
the park she met Lord Andover's servant
rushing to the house with the news tha
her husband had been killed through his
gun going off as it was being handed t.
him through a hedge.
On another occasion Lady Andovel
dreamt that she and her sister were stand
ing at the entrance to the great mansion
at Holkham watching a funeral leaving
the house; but instead of going to tn,
