" have a dream within a dream
-and get the two all mixed upr asked
the man In the club whose e,pecialty is
dreams. eWell; 1 had one the other
night that ham made me think sonic
about it :nee. I thdught 1 was walking
west in a nighty disconsolate frame of
mind Red wondering. if, after all, life
didn't .cost pretty much all it was worth
when 1 came to. the Madison street
bridge. I stopped and looked over the
mil and fell to calculating how it would
reel to take a plunge in the slimy depths,
and how nincli attention It would at
-
treat if 1 were to climb over the side and
jump. 1 had always thought that any-
body who over contemplated suicide was
a great fool to ever start for the other
world by way of the Chicago river, but
at this time I didn't seem to hang quite
so closely to my former prejudice and
was looking down at the black surface
in a rather friendly way when somebody
stopped at the rail a few feet away from
me„heaved a sigh,.and put his foot up
en the lower board.
"At a glance 1 saw the man was a
friend of mine whom 1 hadn't seen for
eeroval years and who I supposed to be
in 'Frisco. 1 spoke to him and, he turned
with a startled exclamation of annoy -
awe. recognized me, and waited for me
to speak. • 1 asked him what he was
goiug to do. He looked at me as mourn-
fully as the spirits In the ,Inferno' did
at Dante, and said:
"'I'm going to jump over this rail into
the river.' •
"I asked him what he intended doing
anything so' foolish as that for, and he
told me with tears welling up to his eyes
that the girl he loved was dead.
sympathized with him with all my
heart because I was in a precisely similar
fix, but I told him he was foolish. and
that while it was natural for him to feel
like that for awhile he would soon real -
ire that it was the height of folly to at-
tempt to remedy matters by dodging out
-of the world in this irregular and alto-
gether disgraceful fashion. I brought
all the philosophy I 'amid muster to bear
onti the case and plumped it all at him,
but he, never wavered. Ho shook hands
with me, told mo to walk on and leave
him, and turned to look over into the
river again. Of course T didn't comply
with his request. The horror of allow-
ing a human being to rush to deathover-
powered me with a shocking sense of
realization, and I remember thinking
tiow differently things affect persons
when applied to others than the same
-conditions applied to ourselves.
"I persisted in lily efforts to dissuade
the would be suicide from his rash act,
bat he was obdurette, and, finally, seeing
that I woeldn't relent, he made a spring
and threw ono leg over the rail. I
grabbed him to drag him back, and then
began a struggle. I saw some people
euening from the end of the bridge, but
before they reached us my acquaintance
lonsened my grip on the rail and flopped
me over rivcrward and together evelell.
It seernevl like we were falling to the
center of the earth, and I felt the cold
meet stand ont all over me. Then we
struck the water and—I awoke. 1 held
my breath involuntarily es I went down,
which as a swimmer I was bound to do,
end when I came up I had an excellent
nepertunity of testing my ability to
swim with all my clothes on. I saw the
people. rtnming down the stairs to the
dock to help me, dnd I struck out val.
iznitly for the alum. When I reached It
a rope was thrownine and I was dragged
• tip on the dock, where the bridge tender
and several other proceeded to abuse
me for a blankety.blenk idiot, who ought
to have been left to drown.
"I tried to tell them that itwas all a
elream. and thaty didn't know the first
thing about it till I struck the water, but
they looked at me with the most pro.
fotted disdain and said:
" 'Oh, you weakenedl You an't got no
more nerve 'n a rabbit!'
"Then the bridge tender grabbed me
by the dank neck of my dripping coat
and took me up the steps and turned me
over to a policeman, who called a wagon
and loaded me into it. I was rattled
away to the station, while the officers in
the wagon swore at me and the people
on the streets turned to look after me
Cariously. At the station I was intro-
duced as a 'blank blank fool who jumped
ID the river and the changed his mind
and yelled for help.' I hadn't yelled for
help, and I knew it, but I thought I'd
let that pass, inasmuch as T had been in
the river. he desk sergeant asked me
my name and put it in his book with a
charge of disorderly opposite, and I was
hustled down stairs to be locked up. On
the way down the officer gave me a
shove, and I tripped 'and fell headlong
down five steps and struck my head.
"That was when I did awake, Every-
thing was dark, and it took as much as
