It was a pilgrimage of love. He wanted to live where she had lived that season, to see the things that she had seen and to try to enter vicarious- ly into her life in this way. He went to Camways, put up at the little hotel, and found the restfulness of the little | place unexpectedly soothing. He ar- ranged to rent an old-fashioned cot- tage upon the cliffs, witkin a stone's throw of the hotel, where Adela had stayed. “It's been unoccupied for three years,” the agent tcld him frankly, i I ! posted that letter three years was that dreadful summer I realized that I had broken both our lives by my folly, by my in- explicable unkindness.” “Adela!” he exclaimed, a light breaking in upon him, “where did you mall that letter?” “I mafled it here, in this letter-box,” she answered. “I used to come here to look at the flowers. That is why I came back today, because this place seemed somehow bound up with all my memories of you.

DROVE FAT MAN OFF CAR Successful Practical Joke Eddie Foy Is Sald to Have “Pulled Off” \ In New York. They are telling in Broadway a story about Eddie Foy and George Co- han. Foy and Cohan one autumn after- noon sat side by side in a Fifth avenue bus when a fat, gaudily dressed man entered, his manicured and scented hands covered with huge rings. “George,” said Foy, “I don’t like that fellow’s looks,-and I'm going to make him get out before we reach Madison Square.” “All right, Eddie,” sald Cohan calm- ly. Foy fixed his gaze on the fat man's glittering hands, and a change came over his face. His eyes seemed dull and staring. His jaw hung slack and loose. “Me want ring!” he shouted sudden- ly, and he pointed at the fat man's ./ hands and at the same time jumped up | and down in his seat and waggled his | elbows up and down in the air, just like a baby. “Ring!

Mark Twain accounted for his own “disap- pearing visitor” by the belief that he had unconsciously had a very short nap, and many have explained visions of ghosts as due to dreams during such short naps. For nothing is better established in connection with dreams than that an apparently very long one can occur during an almost infinitesimal time. Alfred Maury had a long, vivid dream of the reign of terror, including the trial of himself and his execution, and was able to show that it all happened during the moment of awakening by the fall of a rod from the bed canopy upon his L’i“ Running the Gantlet.
