A SHADOW BEFORE.
■
W
Several yuan) ago I was traveling
in the utato of Wlaotnudn. in the in
termit of a Houthem tolmroo factory.
At that time tlio lumbering industry
of central Wisconsin was in ita in
fancy, and the now prosperous In
land ritiea, with their immonso lum
ber mills, were mere villages of lum
bermen and loggers.
Traveling men were corresponding
ly scarce. We grew lonesome, and
suffered many hardships of which
the travelers of today know but lit
tle. Consequently i was glad to
meet so p' -asant a companion os
John Hturtovaut. Like myself, he
represented a tobuoco firm, but our
"brands" were of an entirely differ
ent kind i hence we were not com
petitors. and visited the trade from
town to towu together.
Sturtevant was my seniot* by prob
ably ten years -a handsome man,
nremuturely gray, clean shaven, save
for a mustache of brownish color,
which contrasted queerly with bis
rapidly silvering hair. His clothing
was costly, "but not expressed in
fancy." He disliked a foi), and was
■ strictly businesslike in all Mb trails
actions; kdpt a close guard on his
tongue, hut spoke intelligently and
to tile |Hitnt when be spoke at all.
He wus well iurormed and. in short,
a Keutlmniiii with whom almost any
one would readily have mode friends
at the ttrst opportunity be afforded
them. He seemed to take quite nil
interest in uie, and I was proud of it
and mild <iuve assured him, had 1
chosen, that the interest wua reeipro
rated.
Due pleasant summer night, u few
weeks after om- first meeting. I in
rited him mto my room (just across
the hall from iiis in the little frame
Hotel). He accepted my Invitation,
We Wrought forth .our pipes. Ailed
them with our res|iective "brands."
lit them aud jokingly exputinted on
the qualities and merits possessed tiy
each. Thus we chatted pleasantly
of our sales and failures to sell; our
Ians for the coming week. etc., un
til at last our conversation turned
(U|ion some remark whiuh 1 cannot
recall, hut iu the same manner that
thousands of conversations have
turned before) inM the supernatural
-dreams especially.
He then related to me the following
story, which I give in his own lan
guage. as accurately as my memory
serves uie, and 1 am |xisitivo that 1
have foi'gottou uo incident connected
with it. i might further udd that l
haveuo reason whatever to doubt
in the least its absolute truthfulness.
Laying his pipe on a table near by,
10 liegnn thus:
'I cannot say. even after the ex-
irience 1 am ubuut to relate, that 1
much credence in dreams, this
<me being the only one 1 have over
been able to trace to anything like
tangibility. 1 am sure that I am no
more superstitious than the average
of men, and I have always chosen to
attribute the fulAllment of any dream
to chance or coincidence rather than
to auy other cause.
“Fourteen years ago last winter I
wus in identically the same position
which I now All, excepting the fact
that I am uow directing the move
ments of a few men. You will
know of <-curse that at that time 1
wa« a young man—to bo accurate,
twenty three years of ago. At the
time of which I speak I was on my
’maiden' trip, and, as though to
Inure me to the trials and hardships
of a traveler's life, the bouse had
kept me out almost a year without
so much os a twenty-four hours' visit
to the dty in which my parents re
sided, und which, for the lack of any
other, my parents being dead, I still
claim us my home."
Here he hesitated and passed his
hand through his hair. He scorned
to be lost in meditation, or in trying
to think where be^ should begin
again. Presently he said:
•*1 will not worry you with the de
tails of a love story, but suffice it to
say’ that this same city was the
abode of my sweetheart, Mary,
-whom 1 had known in infancy,
whom 1 hod loved from childhood
and to whom I hau been bethrotliud
for two years. I held close and reg
ular correspondence with her, and
her entreaties for me to come home
were at times pitiful. However,
wishing ou this trip, above all others,
to iunviutv the Arm that they need
have uo fear of my becoming home
sick, I .had never asked for leave or
Absence.
"At last, about the tat of Decem
ber. a letter reached me from the
house while I was in Alabama, stat
ing that ‘after the loth inst. all
traveling agents will be at liberty
until Jan. 1.' and wishing us a merry
Christmas und a happy New Year.
Of course 1 was extremely well
pleased, and mentally calculated that
after the day's labor was completed
on the lOth I would board the i) p.m.
train for Nashville and reach home
by the morning of the 18th.
‘,'Retiring early on the night of
Dec. 8, suffering from no undue men
tal or physical excitement. I fell into
what appeared tome to be a peaceful
Bleep, in which I dreamed that I
stood at the rear entrance of a
strange brick honae, one which I had
never seen in inv waking momenta,
but every exterior detail of which 1
seemed to note carefully and still re-
mombor. Why or how I was sup
posed to be there, or why I was at
tiie rear door, 1 do not know, but I
was perfectly sure that it was proper
to be thore, and also equally sure
that tills house was Mary's home. 1
knocked upon the door and wns ad
mitted by Mary's sister, who, though
it seemed not in the least strange to
me, expressed but very little concern
at seeing me, merely saying, 'Mai-y
lain the front parlor,'and, ns per
sons do in dreams, disappeared. 1
was ulono.
"Taking a hasty survey of the
room I noticed that it seemed in dis
order, such a disorder as results from
moving before articles arc placed in
their proper isisitluns. i scanned
tilings closely. A pair of lady's shoes
■at in the middle of the room, close
to tho leg of 11 center table. A lounge
sat iu the farther end against one of
the curtains, which hung over a fold
ing door, the other curtain being
drawn, disclosing a small room in
which the only article of furniture
visible through tho curtains was a
bureau, such as were so much used
at thut time,
It is needless tor me to mention
every object wMch I seemed to ex
amine in that one brief moment,
though I rteall everything vividly,
oven to the carpet, the wall puper,
tiie unhung pictures and their
frames; suffice it to say that Mary
stood in front of the bureau in the
little room, with her long, black hair
bunging loosely over her shoulders,
while idle searched for something in
the . topmost drawer in utter igno
rance of my presence. I gazed upon
her a moment and called her name.
She turned toward me with a look
of wildest surprise, wMuli quickly
changed to one of joy n» she rushed
toward me with outstretched arms,
crying aloud my nume. 1 advanced
toward her. As siie threw the uur
tain back in her wild haste, her foot
caught tinder u rug which lay in the
doorway, and she liegan to foil. 1
leaped forward und caught her in my
%
>4
aims before she hod fallen complete
ly to tiie Aoor. raised her gently und
placed her upon the lounge, not a
yard uwny.
“Her sister hail heard the noise we
had made and came running In.
Mary did not speak. I did not seem
to bo oxcited, and can even remnni
her in the dream having attributed
her quiet, us she lay upon the couch,
to faintness. Her sister bade me on
ter mi adjoining room to the right,
which 1 did, seeming to knew thut it
was tho sister's desire to be alone
with her while she prepurod her for
bed and the treatment necessary to
resuscitato hoi’.
"In tills other room 1 began to
feel alarmed, and endeavored to al
lay my feu is, as well as to divert
my thoughts, by examining things
closely. A door with a broken glass
opened out ypon a driveway, which
Boeined to have boon newly payed,
and which led to the struct n few
stops away, A civic procession of
some kind wns passing, at which i
gazed intently, at Amt through the
broken dour, then stopping out upon
the drive. I seemed to have forgot
ten Mary. 1 advanced but a fow
steps when I slipped upon the icy
pavement and fell to tho ground,
Tlio imaginary fall awoko me with 11
start, 1 was much oxcited, but my
nerves soou became quieted and my
sleep was normal during tho remain
der of the night.
“So much for tho droum, aud uow
tlio sequel.
"I arrived homo safely and at once
inquired about the girls, Mnry und
her sister, for the dream had made a
wonderful impression upon my uiiud,
which grew rather than diminished
as time went by. They were well,
but had moved to another portiou of
tiie city only a few days before
'Strange,’ thought I. ’I will go at
once and Aud them.'
"I found tho house with ease, Imv
ing been directed by my father. A
domestic upon a stop ladder, with a
bc rubbrush in hand, was engaged iu
washing the woodwork nnd pane of
glass in the transom, and at the same
time completely obstructing the front
passage. 1 was told to go to the rear
door. I did so. and knocked. This
wns the very house I had seen in my
dream, even to the minutest detail.
My knock was answered by the sis
ter. who did not greet me with a sur
plus of cordiality. She informed me
that Mary was in the front parlor,
and withdrew from the room with
out so much os addressing me a dozen
words. Even her information con
cerning Mary was erroneous, as will
bo seen.
"The room was identically the
onwwhicfa 1 have already de
scribed it* having seen in my dream,
even to/to disorder, the pair of lady’s
shoes, .the lounge, the curtains, the
unhung picture sitting on tiie Aix>r-
evetrthing; I was strickuu. bcu il
dervd. The dream Aashed through
my mind like lightning.
"There stood Mary before the old
bureau mirror, her hair hanging
loosely over her shoulders. 1 trem
bled violently from fright By a
mighty exertion I called her name,
which waa the Arst intimation she
had of my presence, as she seemed
to have entered the little room while
I was silently examining my sur
roundings in the other. She turned,
halted a moment and rushed toward
me, calling out, ‘Oh, John, John!
My dream! My dream!'
’ "These were her only words. She
was falling. Her face was white as
that of a corpse. Impelled by instinct.
I ran toward her and caught her in
my arms and laid her tenderly upon
tho couch. The same couch. Her
sister entered. My Qod! I shall
never forget the absolute terror
which seized me ut thut moment. I
wns wild. My uwful dream was I ic
ing enacted in stern reality, nnd I
was ono of the helpless, powerless
actors. Mary seemed to be uncon
scious; at least she uttered not u
word. The sister motioned me into
tho other room to the right. I went.
I acted like 11 macliine. I seemed to
be impelled by some unknown power
or iuAuence.
‘My senses seemed to have loft
1. I wondered if I were not dream
ing tho dream ugnin and would awuk e
with the fall which 1 seemed to know
would inevitably occur. No; it wns
real. I even examined the room as I
had done in my dream. It was tlio
same. The glass was broken from
the door. I looked out. A proces
sion was coming dowu the street. It
was too much. I felt myself grim
ing faint—dizzy. 1 wanted ;»>:•
Bareheaded, 1 rushed out upon the
drive and—fell.
That was all.
'Two weeks ufterward. ou Christ
mas day, l regained uonsciousnes’
As I grew stronger they told n.e
that my Mary was in heaven. She
had expired from paralysis of the
heart within au hour from the time
she had fallen into my arms. They
had buried her, aud I never saw her
face even in death.
"In falling upon the pavement my
head hod struck upon a projecting
stone, causing b tracturu of tiie skull
and concussion of the brain,. from
the effects of which my parents and
the physicians had but little hbpe of
my recovery.
‘There is not much more to Any. 1
am not versed iu the science of
dreamB, but am informed that it i»
very, very rare that they ’come true'
in every particular as mine did
When I became well, 1 aHcoriuiu*il
the cause of the sister's cold ness 10
ward me. which was a rumor cop
coining me of a purely ]iersoual uu
ture, nnd which I quickly put down
I have always been positive thut
Mnry bad experienced a dream simi
iar, in every essential particular, to
mine."
With these last words Sturteviuit
arose abruptly, bade me "good
nigbt," and sought liisroom. I never
mentioned the remarkable story to
him again, nor did he ever mention
it to mo. I have lost track of him
completely during tho past few years.
Tiie lost time 1 heard from him lie
was still a bachelor, and, if indications
are a criterion in such matters, he
will prolwibly remain one.
I had ids story recalled to me last
summer. While in Wisconsin I hap
pened to he in the same town, now
grown into a city, in which, years
ago, John Sturtevant related to me
his strange dream.—Julian Stewart

It descended to him from his

since that time he has used it inces
santly, shaving himself twice a week
with it. The razor has been honed
only once sinco he has owned it, and
is apparently in as good condition to

It hasn't even commenced causing

There was an important conference
of representative Democrats of the
Second Congressional district held in
this city to-day.
It was an informal meeting; that is,
it was informally called, nnd those
who were here aame upon invitation
and not by authority of constituents.
Each gentleman was herein his indi
vidual capacity only, nnd tiie object of
the meeting was to discuss the situa
tion nnd agree, if possible, upon the
best line of notion for the success of
the Democracy of the district In the
pending campaign.
Representative, were here from De-
entur, Early, Randolph, Cnlhoun,
Mitchell and Worth, and Dougherty
was also represented.
The meeting developed the fact that
there nre a good many Democrats in
the district \yh" regard the present po
litical situation of the district ns a
grave one, nnd who nre ready nnd
anxious to enlist in a straightout light
drawn on strict Dtmucratlc lines.
There wns diversity of opinion as to
the best line of policy to be adopted,
hut all agreed that there should be n
bold stand taken against the encroach
ments that are being made upon tiie
ranks of tiie Democratic party, and a
willingness to go to work for Democ
racy, with a determination to win, was
manifested by ull present.
Tho conference udjourned without
any formal notion, but this meeting
will prubably lead to another which

Cinnamon is so Extraordinarily
sensitive that great care has to be
taken with regard to its surround
ings on board ship, as a bale of very
flne cinnamon will lose much of its
delicate aroma if packed among
hales of .coarser bark. Various ex
pedients have been tiled to remedy
this. Tiie Portuguese and Dutch iso
lated the bales by packing them in
