a Ilne In this written reoord of my

months since that awful, horrible, and
mast unexpected catastrophe oc-
curred. which I cannot now real

time, seemed as If It must obliterate

and therefore I draw out my old
diary, and having read (shall I be
ashamed to say, with tars) what I
had written In these foregoing pages,
proceed to bring the tale to a con-
clusion.
Let me try to collect my scatter-
ed thoughts. so apt to wander when
I approach fhb miserable subject,
and carry them back to the event-
ful moment when I last lett off-te

myself to fall asleep but It Is my
custom to smoke Just before retir-

dulgence. At theism. time my fatigue
was greater than I thought, and
after a little while drowslaeus came
over me, and before I knew that
sleep was coming, I was in the land
of drams.
And such a land 1 Thank heaven, for
those who are not destined In this
world to know suhtanttal happiness,
that dreamt remains to them.
I dreamt that I wan with Margaret
again on the eeaehore; not riding
but wandering hand -In -hand, hent
speaking coldly or with averted (aces,
hut eyes to eyes, and heart to heart.
I dreamt that i was watching the
damask blush which mantled on her
check, and listeningto the -low, mel-
low sound• et her roh mice, and that
mingled with my own reply Dame the
conr.e murmur of the ocean as 1t
swelled and surged upon the shore.
I dreamt that we were me. one not

which spirit's are united to each

as we strolled von the „beech to-
gether we knew that neither death
nor Injury Could sever us again. And
prthidst It all I was Iltenhtg to the
hhoosetnue murmur of the wares, which
roiled up to our very feet, and broke
away, but to return with an energy
louder and more Imperative than be-
fore. I dreamt that se I stool thee.
Infolding my new-found treasure In
my arms, I started to find that the
.ky was overcast. and that the
tide had surrounded us, and
was behind as well El before, and
threatening to overwhelm my darl-
irig I dreamt that In my fear and
solicitude i drew her backward,
trembling for her safety. and that

awarance, I woke -to dream no
more.
I woke. at the bidding of a loud and
terrified scream from the lips of my
