She would t ilk to hi:self in a si.ioular manner, and tell us ?.f(ju?<.r things tliat she had dreamed. 'I I.oy were such dreams as, I verily believe, never disturbed the rest of any eiiild before.

'It was the last day of the old year, just as this day is the last of the year now passing from us, continued Wilding.

Wilding bent his Ids lnnds, tears trickling through his lingers. Thus there was a long silence. 'And that's my past story, Krrington,' he said, lookiug up. I low long is it since ."' Two years ago .l.moy left me. I've not much to tell of them. The wealthy bank broke and swall ?wcd up all my money and Mary's in its ruins.

Turning ijniekly round, I saw no one was near me hut tlrcgnry, and I waited in a sort of startled surprise. Papa, you are coming to us; we want you,'said the voice again, and 1 remember II.I 111010.
