dream of a misfortune to me or his
mother just the same as to any Of you.
but what can l do about it?''
The next dream was that Deacon
Goodhue would lose his two COWS il he
didn't shut them up. When told Of it
he replied:
They must take me for an old fool
to think would heed anybody's dream"
But that Boyce boys dreams have
come true
Il DON'T believe it,
Two days later the deacon's cows were
run over by train on the railroad.
Then Rob dreamed that there was to
be flood in the river. 1t was midsum-
mer and the stream was at a low stage.
and everybody sneered and laughed. in
stead Of getting ready for what was TO
come. There was a cloud-burst higher
up, and the loss in Hillsdale alone was
$500.
He dreamed of a connagration in a
ffty-acre wood lot. and one took place
there from a fire built by tramps.
He dreamed of seeing men filing iron
bars. and there was a big Jail delivery at
the county seat.
He dreamed that a woman and her
baby brought misfortune to the village
back from a visit to 4 distant relative
and brought measles. and there were
eighty cases in the town before II had
finished its run.
This dreaming was uncanny. 1t was
dangerous. II got on to the nerves Of
u whole county.
In old Salem days they would have
denounced that boy as a devil and roast
ed him at the stake. As it was, they
could do nothing but ask each other
what should be done. 1t seemed that IL
bad luck was coming to anybody he
didn't want to hear of ii in advance.
1t was a lightning-rod man that solved
the problem that puzzled all others.
I'm not a superstitious man. he
said. as all other men say, but I don't
want that boy dreaming that fell from
the roof Of a barn and broke my neck.
Let's buy the family to move a thou
sand miles away and dream for some
other community
A committee had a talk with Mr..
Boyce. and he agreed for the sum OF
seven thousand dollars In cash to take
his family and go West as far as the
West extended The money was raised
and the family went. but It has never
been known in Hillsdale just where they
settled or II the boy Rob kept up the
dream business

have suffered by so doing. He didnt I

protested.

Mr.. Bowser, as he looked across at her.

would hurt your feelings by having un-
pleasant words with an old lady, who is
not responsible for half she says? She's

ply laugh at her. / hope she'll stay at

self out to give her a pleasant visit"
Mrs. Bowser had several dim and un-
defined remembrances connected with q
former visit, but she choked them all
back and made herself believe that Mr..
Bowser would do all he said. When the
hour and the mother-in-law arrived his
welcome was as warm as could be desired
and for an hour or so all was harmony
and good will. The conversation, which
had been made up OF home happenings,
finally fell fat, and the mother-tn-law
started up fresh by saying:
'Out our way We have been much inter
ested in a divorce case and / am glad to
say It came out all right. That is, the
wife got her divorce"
What was the trouble?" carelessly
queried Mr.. Bowser.
why, he was a man who was always
bossing and buIldozing his wife. He
thought he knew il all and she nothing.
He was always kicking and fault-finding.
and her life was made miserable. She
was a sweet. patient woman or she would
