OF course was inclined now to take
the whole thing as an amusing impos-

and the curious seeing" expression Of
his eyes. and noting the exacutude Of
one or two pictures. / began to feel
that, however much he might be In
venting or celebrating, there was some
substratum Of truth In what he was
telling me.
The first pictures that came to him
were merely pictures, though astonish-
ingly clear ones. Of Webster's boat, the
Flamingo. Of Webster himself. and Of
the men and the old dog Sailor; but in
all this he might have been visuallzing
from actual knowledge. Yet the de-
tails were curiously exact. Presently
his gaze becoming more fixed:
II see you anchored under q little
settlement. You are rowing ashore.

exclaimed involuntarily; "get some
Idea Of the place It's In"
The old man gazed with q renewed
intensity.
NO." he said presently. and his dis
appointed tone seemed to me the best
evidence yet of his truth, Il only see a
little golden mist deep, deep down un-
der de ground; now 1t Is fading away.
It's gone; can only see de woods and
dc ruins again."
This brought his visions to an end.
The spirits obstinately refused to
make any more pictures. though the
old man continued to gaze on In the
decanter stopper for fully five min
utes.

I rapidly conveyed the coincidence

struck me as odd, I'll admit, that our
second start. In this respect, should
be 90 like the first. Meanwhile. the
young man was answering, or rather
pleading, in boylsh way:

Once more there was that ripping
Of the ropes through the blocks, as our
malnsail rose up high against the
moon and filled proudly with the
steady northeast breeze we had been
waiting for.
So twv or three hours went by. as
we plunged on. to the seething sound
Of the water, and the singing of our
sails. and all the various rumor Of
wind and sea. After all, 1t was a good
music to sleep to and, for all my scorn

as though some one had flung me out
through door Of blue and gold into a
newborn world. There was the sun
rising, the moon still On duty, and the
morning star divlnely naked In the

And there was Charlie, his broad
face beaming with boyish happiness,
and something like a fatherly gentle

companion at the tiller. whom, for q
haif-asleep moment Of waking, l
couldn't account for. till our start all
came back to me, when l realized that
1t was our young scapegrace of over
