and turned IN an alarm. The police
were there inside of ave minutes.

Through what supernatural agency
was I being made acquainted with
these strange plans and for what

dreams true? n they were, Il was
my duty TO save our arm. Then ]
thought Of Biggs. would SEQ II he

Biggs admitted that he had. "A

A couple OF mornings later read
of Q successful postofioe robbery In
a town about hundred miles away
The thieves secured about Ss76 in
cash and some registered mail. No
trace Of them could bs found.
The following mornins, ! found
when I reached the street, that ]
had forgotten my gloves. I turned
back and came face to face with one
of the boarders next door. He was
the man OF my dream, the man |
saw that night In the jewelers. mir
ror-and he resembled q blond gen
tleman who had of late frequented
our store on some pretext or other
and who made quite nuisance OF
himself. He claimed to be DR..

good customer OF ours, but man
whom we had never before seen.
Ne always was getting turned
around, so he had to be hshed out
from some place, and he always

Leeson, and he could follow what

employe there. and Mr.. Leeson was
already down. lost no time In tell
ing him my singular experiences. Al
first he laughed at me. assured me
I had dyspepsia, and advised me to
consult a physician. AS I proceeded,
he grew interested and, before I had
finished, began to think there might
be something in IT, We went to-

which opened on an alley at the
back. We found two bars Of the
central window skilfully severed but

Al noon Mr.. Lesson came to me
and said as that night was the one
determined upon In my dream, 1t
might not be bad plan to make
some preparation. We could get two
or three policemen from headquar-

basement and were surprised and |

paper Their room in the next
house joined mine. Much plunder
was found In their room. and 1t was
supposed that their landlady was in
collusion with them. as she rented
the house when they first appeared
in town and just before my dreams
commenced. but nothing could be
proved against her. and she soon
disappeared. So did my dreams.
The men were old offenders and re-
ceived long sentences.
