! PAUT III.
So clamorous and so persistent was
the ringing that Cosmo Wayntlcte was
rouseil at lust. He found .himself sud
denly standing on his feet, with his
florid clutching the buck of the chair
In which he had been sitting before the
fire when the ruys of the setting sun
had sot lone ago, and the moon was
durk, for It was lighted now only by
the embers of the burnt-out fire: and
the electric bell was ringing steadily us
though tlii? man outside the door had
resolved to waken the seven sleepers.
Then Cosmo Wuynliete was wide
awake again: and he knew where ho
wos once more not in Japan, not in
Persia, not In Lisbon, not In Sleepy
Hollow, but here in New York, in his
own room, before his own lire. He
opened the door at once and admitted
his friend, Paul Stuyvesant.
"It Isn't dinner lime. Is It?" he
asked. "I'm not late, am 1? The
fact is, I've been asleep."
"It Is so good of you to confess that,"
his friend answered laughing; "al
tbough'the length of time you kept me
waiting and ringing might have led me
to suspect it. No, you are not late
and it Is not dinner-time. I've come
around to have another littlo chat with
you before dinner, that's all."
"Take this chair, old man," said Cos
mo, us he threw unother hickory-stick
on the tire. Then he lighted the gas
mid sat down by the side of his friend.
"This chair Is comfortable, for a
fact," Stuyvesant declared, stretching
himself out luxuriously. "No wonder
you went to sleep. What did you dream
of? strange places you hud seen in
your travels or the homely scenes of
your native land?"
Waynllete looked at his friend for a
moment without answering the ques
tion. Ho was startled as he recalled the
extraordinary series of adventures
which had fallen to his lot nine he had
Nxed his gnzo on the crystal bnll. It
seemd to him ns though lie had been
whirled through space and through
time.
"I suppose every man Is always the
hero of his own dreams," he began
doubtfully.
. "Of course." his friend returned: "In
sleep our imturul and healthy egotism
Is absolutely unrestrained. It doesn't
make any matter where the scene Is
laid or whether the play is a comedy or
u iragedy. the dreamer hus always the
center of the stage with the calcium
light tuened full on him."
"That's just it," Waynflote went on,
"this dream of mine makes me feel as
If I were an actor and as If I had been
ulaylng many parts, one after the oth
er. In the swiftest succession. They
are not familiar to me, and yet I con
less to a vague feeling of unoriginality.
It Is as though I was a phigiarlst of
adventure if that be a possible suppo
sition. I have just gone, through these
startling situations myself, and yet I'm
ure that they have all of them hap
pened . before although, perhaps, not
to any one man. Indeed, no one man
could have had all these adventures of

and across the hemispheres with a sud-

all my experiences seem somehow second-hand
and not really my own "
. "Picked up here and therel'ike your
brlc-a-brae?" , suggested Stuyvesant.
,'But what are these alluring adven
tures of yours that sketched through
the ages and across the continents?"
' Then, knowing how fond his friend
ivns nf solving mysteries awl how
lu-oud he was of his Bklll in this art,
Cosmo Wayndete narrated his dream
as it has been set down In these pages.
When he had made an end, Paul
Stuyvesant's first remurk was: "I'm
Sorry I happened along Just then and
waked you up before you had time to
get, married."

His second remurk followed half a
minute later.
"I see how It was." he said, "you were
sitting in this chair and looking at that
crystal ball, which focused the level
rays of the setting sun, I suppose?
Then It is plain enough you hypno
tized yourself!"
"lv heard that such a thing is pos
sible," responded Cosmo.
"Possible?" Stuyvesant returned, "it
is certain! Hut what Is more curious
is the new way in which you combined
your self-hypnotism with crystal-gai-lng.
You have heard of scrying, I sup
pose?" "You menu the practice of looking
Into a drop of water or a crystal ball or
anything of that sort." said Cosmo
"and of seeing things on It of seeing
people moving about?"
"That's Just what I do mean," his
friend returned. "And that's Just what
you have been doing. You fixed your
gaze on the ball and so hypnotized
yourself: and then In the intensity of
your vision you were able to see figures
in the crystal with one of which vis
ualized emanations you immediately
identified yourself. That's easy enough.
I think. Hut 1 don't see what suggest
ed to you your separate experiences. I
recognize them, of course"
"You recognize them?" cried Wayn
flete in wonder. ' '
"I can tell you where you borrowed
every one of your adventures," Stuy
vesant replied. "I'.ul what I'd like to
know now is w hat suggested to you just
those characters and situutious, and
not others also stored awuy In your
subconsciousness."
"My' subconsciousness?" repeated
Waynllete. "Have I ever been a samu
rai in my subconsciousness?"
Taul Stuyvesant looked at Cosmo
Waynflllete for nearly a minute with
out reply. Then all the answer he
made was to say: "That's a queer
dressing gown you have on."
"It is time I took it off," said the
other, suiting the action to the word.
"It Is a beautiful specimen of weav-
"SO CAN I." SAID PAUL STUYVES
ANT. ing. Isn't It? I call It the dream gown
of the Japanese ambassador, for al
though I bought It In a curiosity shop
in Nuremberg, It was once. I really be
lieve, the slumber robe of an oriental
envoy."
Stuyvesant took the silken garment
from his friend's hand.
"Why did the Japanese ambassador
sell you his dream gown in a Nurem
berg curiosity shop?" he asked.
"He didn't," Waynllete exiilalned.
"I never saw the ambassador, and nei
ther did the old German lady who
kept the shop. She told me she bought
it . from a Japanese acrobat who was
out of an engagement and desperately
hard up. Hut she told me also that the
acrobat had told her that the rarmcnt
had belonged to an ambassador who
had given it to him as a reward of his
skill and that he never would have
parted with it if he had not been dead
broke."
Stuyvesant held the rope up to the
light and Inspected the embroidery on
the skirt of It.
"Yes." he said, at last, "this would
account for It, I suppose. This bit
here was probably meant to suggest
'the well where the head was washed,'
see?"
"I see that those lines may be meant
to represent the outline of a spring of
water, but I don't see what that has
to do with my dream," Waynllete an
swered. "Don't you?" Stuyvesant returned.
"Then I'll show you. You had on this
silk garment embroidered here with an
outline of the well In which was
washed the head of Kotsuke no Suke,
the man whom the Forty-Seven Konins
killed. You know the story?"
"I read it in Japan, but" began
Cosmo.
"You had that story stored away In
your subconsciousness," Interrupted
his friend. "And when you hpynottzed
yourself by peering Into the crystal
ball, this embroidery It was which sug
gested to you to see yourself us the
hero of the tale Otshl Kurauosuke, the
chief of the Forty-Seven Konins, the
faithful follower who avenged his mas
ter by pretending; to be vicious and dis
sipated just like iirutus and Loren-zucclo-until
the enemy wus olT his
guard and open to attack."
"I think I do recall the tale of the
Forty-Seven Konins. but only very
vaguely," said the hero of the dream.
"For all I know I may have had the
adventure of Olshi Kurauosuke laid on
the shelf somewhere in my subcon
sciousness, as you.want me to believe.
P.ut how about my Perian dnigon and
my Iberian nrtblewoman?"
Paul' Stuyvesant was examining the
dream-gown of the Japanese ambassa
dor with minute care. Suddenly he
said: "oh!" and then he looked u at
Cosmo Waynllete and nsked: "What
are those buttons? They seem to be
old coins."
"They are old coins." the other an
swered: "It was a fancy of mine to
utilize them on that Japanese dressing
gown. They are all different, you see.
The first is"
"Persian, Isn't It?" Interrupted Stuy
vesant. "Yes." Waynllete explained, "It is a
Persian darie. And the second Is a
Spanish peso made at Potosl under
Phillip -II. for use in America. And the
third is a York shilling, one of the
coins In circulation here In New York at
the time of the revolution I got that
one, In fact, from the farmer who
plowed It up In a field at Tarrytown
near "Sunnyslde."
"Then there are three of your adven
tures accounted for, Cosmo, nnd easily
enough," Paul commented, with ribvi".
ous satisfaction at his own explanation.
"JUBt as the embroidery on the silk
here suggested to you nrter yen hail
hypnotised yourself that ynu were the
chief- of the Forty-Seven Konins, so
this llrst coin here In turn suggested
to you that you were flustem, the hero
of the 'Epic of Kings.' You have read
the 'Shah-Nameh?.' "
"I remember Flr'dausl's poem after a
fashion only," Cosmo answered. "Was
not Kustetn a Persian Hercules, so to
speak?"
"That's It precisely' the other re
sponded, " and he had seven labors to
perform; and you dreamed the third of
them, the slaying of the grisly dragon.
For my own part I think I should have
preferred ihe fourth of them-r-the
. meeting with the lovely enchantress
1 but that's neither here nor there."
I "It seems t me 1 da recollect some
thing about the firjht of Kusrtein and
the stranse beast. Tls faithful horse's
name was Kakush, wasu't it?" asked
Waynllete.
"If you can recollevt the 'Shah
Nameh.' " Stuyvesant pursued, "no
doubt you rau recall also Beaumont
and Fletcher's "Custom of the Coun
try?" That's where you got the mid
night duel in Lisbon and the magnani
mous mother, you know."
"No. 1 don't know," the other de
clared. "Well, you did for all that." Paul
went on. "The situation is taken from
one In a drama of Calderon's.and It was
i much strengthened in the taking. You
may not now remember having read the
play, but the incident must have been
1 tamiliar to you or else your subcon
I iulitiiarM ffiiiMit't hnv. vlplil1 It tin
to you so readily at the suggestion or
that Spanish coin, could it?"
"I did read a lot of Elizabethan
drama In my senior year at college,"
! admitted Cosmo, "and this piece of
Ueaumont and Fletchers may have
been one of those I read but I totally
fail to recall what It was all about."
"You won't have the cheek to declare
that you don't remember the "Legend
of Sleetiy Hollow," will you?" asked
Stuyvesant. ""Very obviously It was
the adventure of Ichabod Crane and the
Headless Horseman that the York shil
ling suggested to you."
"I'll admit that 1 do recollect Irving'"
I story now," .the other confessed. '
"'So the embroidery on tne uream
gown gives the first of your strange sit
uations; and the three others were
suggested by the coins you have been
using as buttons," said Paul Stuyves
ant. "There Is only one thing now
that nuzzles me that Is the country
church and the noon wedding and the
beautiful bride."
And with that he turned over the
folds of the silken garment that hung
over his arm.
Cosmo Waynllete hesitated a monient
and a blush mantled his cheek. Then
he looked his friend In the face and
said: "I think I can account for my
dreaming about her I can account for
that easily enough."
"So can I." said Paul StuyveBant, as
he held the photograph of a lovely
American girl that he had Just found
In the pocket of the dream-gown of the;
Japanese ambassador.

GROWTH OF HONEY INDUSTRY.
The growth of the honey industry
has been very rapid. According to the
last census, the production during the
preceding year was 63,398,327 pounds,
compared with only 25,743,208 pounds
ten years earlier. Iowa led in produc

LIVE STOCK DECREASING. The
reports of the agricultural department
show that our live Btock horses, cat

In number. This fact Is one that should
not be overlooked, for, as our popula
tion Is Increasing, It Is plain that sooner
or later the supply will be less than the
demand, and prices will, consequently,
Increase.

THE COAL TRADE.-Anthrnclte Is
very quiet at the circular. Buyers are
not disposed to engage tonnage ahead
if their requirements. There Is less
talk of an advance on May 1, and one
will probably not be made on that date.
The pool controlling the' soft 'coal In
terests shipping to tidewater Is In full
operation. Very few contracts are be
ing placed and these are taken with the
understanding that rebates will be
made If the prices are lower, Comrnts-
sion men and large buyers are doing;
their best to break the market. This
accounts for the many rumors of cuts
that are tn circulation. As far as can
be learned there have been no large
contracts booked nt th .-irnular or
I any other price.

MARCH FIRE LOSSES.-The flrv
loss or the United States and Canada
for the month of March shows a total

SENSIBLE VIEW OF COAL. A
gentleman long Identified with the an-
j thraclte coal trade Is quoted by the
stockholder as saying: "Anthracite
coal Is the cheapest thing nowadays
that I know of. It Is being produced
by a number of companies from a de
posit, the limits and extent of which ure
so well known that It has been reck
oned up Just how muny tons can be
taken out. Most of the great coal com
panies own their own estates, and have
done their own development work. Yet
I only know of one of them that charges
against coal sales a sinking fund rep
resenting coal taken out of the ground.
The Pennsylvania Coal company, I
think, charges this sinking fund
against coal. Reading certainly does
not. and it Is clear that the Delaware
and Hudson does not. Yet every ton
of coal taken out and sold Is gone, and
cannot be replaced. Where Is the sense
in taking coal out of the ground and
selling It at a price which shows a loss
on the actual mining work, without
any charge for development of the col
lieries or for a slnkglng fund on their
capitalization. Coal at less than $4 is
very much too cheap. I figure that
every ton extracted should be charged
with something like 30 or 35 cents for
sinking fund and interest on original
cost of colliery and capitalized Im
provements. If this Is not done a great
deal of money will be eventually lost."

the benefit of St. Thomas' choir was
one of the most successful of this sea

White, of Archbald. A neat sum was
realized.
The evangelistic . meetings that are

each evening.
Miss Wilmena Griffin was a visitor
In town yesterday.
The condition of the sidewalk In front
of the Johnson No, 1 colliery on Main
