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 in IndianniHilis News. YOUTH. DKHOCBATIt IN CONFKBrNrB.il Too PYevlous. "And you won’t marry me, Kit?” "I won’t.” "No use talking about it any more?” "Not a bit. It won’t do any good, Hank.” The Oklahoma youth, hurl, and angry, reached under liis chair for his liat. "It’s my own fault, 1 b’pose,” ho grumblfcd. ‘‘1 ort to have waited* till we’d got a little better acquainted.” "Yes, that’s about the size of it, Hank,” asseuted the young woman cold ly.

"He did,” she averred, "or something of that kind.” This reminds ono of the accu rate wituoss who swore that some one had called over the banisters, "Tom, Tom,” or words to that effect.—San Francisco Argonaut.

A Good Mine "Halted." Very funny was the wilting of a mine in Colorado whiuh was bought by ex-Seuator Tabor by order from some friends of his in Denver. Chicken BUI, a prospector of rather disreputable notoriety, did the job. performing It ho successfully that $40,000 was paid over to him for the proporty without any question. He wns so eluted over the transaction oh to lx) unable to keep the secret, com municating it to n number of Ulti mate friends. In this manner tiie news reuched Denver, and tiie peo ple who had employed Tabor as then- agent in the matter refused to re ceive the mine.

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.
