wild creatures. And at the moment
this story opens, one of these squir-
rels was perched on a wide-spreading

slanted through the sunlit park. The

And then Dan did a curious thing.

LastNight's Streams
What They Mean

CONF

0F ALL the "high-brow" modern
~ investigators of dream phenome-
ma Frederick Greenwood is the most
daringly inclined toward the school of
the mystics. While by no means ac-
cepting the arbitrary Interpretation of
dreams as set forth by the empires he
says, writing In one of the ponderous
and learned English Reviews: $50
far as we know neither the free inAagi-
nation Of childhood nor the absolute
unfettered faculty Of madness is ever
productive Of dream Of the things
called supernatural for want Of word
more expressive. These are the most
remarkable phenomena of sleep and It
appears that prophetic dreams which
seem to import something Of the su-
pernatural only arise and do not APP
pear until the mental qualities are Of
full growth. Dreams which have all
the character Of revelation and
prophecy do undoubtedly occur"
He propounds as a new theory the
possibility that these dreams occur
when all the mental faculties are
lifted to a higher range Of freedom
and at the same time maintain their
accustomed harmony similar to the
rapt condition Of men Of genius en-
gagged in their best work." There Is
such a thing as a dream intuition, he
believes.

lowed In the Icy dawns. But OF course
II was just fancy. He wasn't in the

wings would crumple I'm civilization
but he himself had always lived in
cities. Yet the falling SHOWS, soft and
gentle but with kind of remorseless-
ness he could sense but could not IN
derstand. had always stirred him.
He'd often imagined that he would
like to see the forests In winter.
In him you could see a reflection OF
the boy that played beside the pond
His dark gray eyes were still rather
large and perhaps the wasted flesh
around them made them seem larger
than they were. But IL was a little
hard to see them, as he wore large
glasses. His mother had been sure,
years before, that he needed glasses;
and she had easily found an Oculst
that agreed with her.
Now that he was alone on the path.
the utter absence of color in his
cheeks was startling. That meant the
absence OF red--that warm glow of
the blood eager and alive in his
veins. Perhaps an observer would
have noticed lean hands. with big
knuckled fingers. rather firm mouth,
and closely cropped dark hair. He
was Twenty-Five years of age, bvt he
looked somewhat older. He know now
that he was never going TO be any
older. A doctor as sure of himself as
the one he had just consulted couldn't
possibly be mistaken.
He sat down on q park bench, just
beneath the spreading limb of great
tree. He would sit here, he thought,
until he finally decided what he would
do with his remaining six months.
He hadn't been able to go to war.
The recruiting officer had been very
kind but most determined. The boys
had brought him great tales Of France.
Ii might be nice to go to France and
live in some country inn until he died.
But he didn't have very long to think
upon this vein. For at that instant
the squirrel came down to see if he had
q nut.
1t was the squirrel of Destiny. But
Dan didn't know 1t then.
Bushy-tail was not particularly
afraid of the human beings that
passed up and down the park, because
he had learned by experience that they
usually attempted no harm TO him.
But. nevertheless, he had his instincts.
He didn't entirely trust them. After
several generations, probably the
squirrels of this park would climb all
over its visitors and sniff in their ears
and investigate the back Of their
necks. But this wasn't the way of
Bushy-tail He had come too recent
ly from the wild places. And he won
dered. most intensely. whether this
tall, forked creature had pocket full
OF nuts. He swung down on the
grass to see.
"Why, you little devil" Dan said
I'm whisper. His eyes suddenly

rious that Dan succeeded so well the
first time he tried 1t. He had sense
enough to relax first, before he frOze
! Thus he didn't put such severe
strain on his muscles.
The squirrel, after ten seconds had
! elapsed, stood on his launches to see
better. First he looked a long time
with his left eye. Then he turned his
head and looked very carefully with
his right. Then he backed off short
distance and tried to get focus with
both. Then he came some half-dozen
steps nearer.
A moment before he had been GER
one of the most terrible and powerful
living creatures In the wOrld-had
been sitting on the park bench. Now
! his poor little brain was completely
added. He was entirely ready to be-
lieve that his eyes had deceived him.
Bushy-tail drew off little further,
fully convinced at last that his hopes
of a nut from a child's hand were
blasted. But he turned to look once
more. The figure still sat utterly in
ert. And all at once he forgot his de-
vouring hunger in the face of an over
whelming curiosity.
He came somewhat nearer and
looked a long time. Then he made
half-circle about the bench. turning
his head as he moved. He was more
puzzled than ever, but he was no
longer afraid. His curiosity had be-
come so intense that no room for fear
was left. And then he sprang upon
the park bench.
Dan moved then. The movement
consisted of a sudden heightening of
the light In his eyes. But the SPUR.
rel didn't see It, 1t takes muscular
response to be visible to the eyes of
the wild things.
The squirrel crept slowly along the
beSch. stopping to sniff. stopping to
stare with one eye and another, just
devOured from head to tail with curl
Osity. And then he leaped on Dams
knee.
He was quite convinced, by now,
that this warm perch on which he
stood was the most singular and in
teresting object Of his young life. 1t
was true that he was family worried
by the smell that reached his nOstrils.
But all it really did was further to in
cite his curiosity He followed the
leg up to the hip and then perched on
the elbow. And an instant more he

neck.
But If the squirrel was excited by
all these developments, Its amaZement
was nothing compared to Dams. 1t
had been the most astounding Incl
dent in the mans life. He sat still,
tingling with delight. And in a single
flash of inspiration he knew he had
come among his own people at last. He
knew where he would spend his last
six months Of life.
His own grandfather had been a
hunter and trapper and frOntiersman
in certain vast but little known Ore
gon forest. His son had moved TO the
eastern cities, but in Dams garnet
there used to be old mementOes and
curiOs from these savage days-a few
claws and teeth, and fragment of an
old diary. The call had come to him
at last. Tenderfoot though he was
Dan would go back to those forests,
to spend his last six months of life
among the wild creatures that made
them their home.
