The two sisters were worth a lot of iMoney, saw to their own business, and the reason Agatha did not accompany Agnes was because business kept her at. home. That is the story, shorn of its particulars, just as 1 had it from the survivor. In the year 18(17 1 had a place in my uncle’s warehouse in Liverpool. My relative knew Miss Agnes, hut up to the hour she called 1 had never heard of her nr the loss of the Foam and her sister. She came to see my uncle because she had had a singular dream. Before you smile let me add that the woman was strong minded, had a good business head and was not at all given to whims. She had the full careof investing $200,000, and you must know that she wasn't it person to fly off at a tangent. I was present when she told her sory. A week before her visit she had dreamed that the brig was wrecked on one of the islands to the east of Cape Dios, of which there are 11), big and little, though some tiro hardly more than sand banks. She dreamed the same thing twice more It was during a northerly gale, and she saw the brig strike the rocks half a mile from shore, her masts go over, the craft break up, her sister carried to the beach An the crest of a great wave. It was nine years, you remember, since th<* loss of the Foam. Miss Bailey did not know a brig from a ship, hut in her dreams she saw a full rigged brig. She did not know exactly where Honduras was. much less that there were any islands off the east coast. We got out n chart of the Caribbean sea, and without the slightest hesitation she pointed out the island known under the various names of Conch, South and Round island. 11 is one of a group of three lying off the coast of Nicaragua aud is distant 1 71 miles from (iroytown. There are one large and two small islands, \-ith a distance of 16 miles between, and to this date there is no permanent population. The largest island, is a resort for fishermen and shell gatherers and turflers, ami the small ones are visited at intervals by the same class. The chart gave a reef on the north shore just as the woman had dreamed. In her dreams she saw her sister struggle out of the water and enter t i^ woods, hut all others were drowned. I had passed th4 > island in a whaler anil knew it to bo timbered. It seemed as if Miss Bailey w:is relating something she had read when she told her story, and she was so serious and earnest that it was no ease to smile over. On the contrary, one felt awed ;is she related the particulars. She had %oine simply to relate her dream, hut when through with that part of her errand she said: “Now, then, Mr. Wharton, I want you to charter me a craft to go in search of my sister. I want to start as soou as possible—at least within a week.” “But, my dear lady,” replied my uncle, “you cannot hope that your sister will he living on that barren island after these many years. ” “No, I don’t hope that, although it may Is* possible. I know she was carried ashore. I know she was the solo survivor. If rescued, she would have returned home, of course. I believe she died there, and I want to bring her remains home for burial.” “It will cost you quite n sum of money. ” “That has nothing to do with it. I want you to charter me a small hut safe sailing craft. I will go along with my maid. Engage plenty of help and a 4ood captain. We will take a metallic easket along, and no cargo is to he carried. Find the craft, lit her out, and a week from today I will 1h> here to settle with yon and sail for the island. ” “Very well, miss, very well.” And when she had gone my uncle turned to me with: “This will be your work, auu you will go along as chief mate. Go right out aud begin your search. ” The order was to 1m> executed the same as one coming from a merchant who wanted to ship to Australia. Ncitherof us questioned Miss Bailey’s business judgment because a dream hai to do with it. I began my quest at (nice, and next day I had chartered a small new barkentine which had made only one voyage and was waiting for a cargo. CarjH'iiters were put aboard to make some changes, captain and crew engaged, aud before the week was up the Wanderer was ready to sail. The figures

showed a good bit of money, but Miss Bailey expressed herself as perfectly satisfied. We had a crew of 10 men, a cook and a steward, and the craft was in ballast only and well found iu all respects. The instructions from Miss Bailey were to make the run direct, and they were obeyed to the letter. We laid a trae course for the Windward islands, cm the other side of tlm Atlantic, swept through the Mono passage into the Caribbenn sea, and then headed direct for tho island of the woman's dream. The demeanor of Miss Bailey would have satisfied any one that she hafl full faith in her dreams. The captain was at first inclined to ridicule the idea, hut after hearing tho full particulars he changed his mind. Every day at noon tho run of the craft, which was a fast one, was given to the woman, and she had no other questions to ask. We hail a gale or two crossing the Atlantic, hut she uttered no complaints. Indeed up to the time we entered the Caribliean tho object of the voyage was not even referred to. I had told the captain the story myself, else he would not have heard it. When we hail left Santo Domingo astern, Miss Bailey called ino into tlie cabin and inquired: “What food would my poor sister find on that island to sustain life?” I answered that there might bo wild fruits in season, hut it was almost impossible to 1x0 ■ eve that she could find sustenance Ix yond a few weeks or more on the products of the island. She had no means of catching fish and noway of building a lire, and she was also sure to he exposed to the weather. “Lit mo tell you how I believe it was.” continued the woman. “More or loss of the cargo must have been washed ashore. Agnes was a self roliaut woman and would do about as a man would under the circumstances. If provisions washed ashore, she would save them, and no doubt she managed for some sort of shelter. Unless dying by accident or sickness, bhovoulil get along for a year or so. ” “And then?” “What chance would there he of a ship taking her off?” “None at all. Any signal she could make would he supposed to come from fishermen. ” "And about the fishermen? If they landed and found her there, what would they do?” “Well, if they had found her anil carried her away, you should have heard from her. ’ ’ That was as far as she could go. She was clinging to a hope which conld not possibly exist. Nine years was too long a period. We should not find the woman at all. We might find her bones. We sighted the island one morning at daylight, and by 10 o'clock we were off the reef. The spot seemed as familiar to Miss Bailey as if she had been there before. She not only pointed out the exact six it where the brig struck, hut when we rowed over the spot we found one of the vessel’s anchors imbedded' in the coral reef. The beach was clear of wreckage, hut a storm would have done that. The island was and is almost round and alxiut two miles across. The interior is rocky aud thinly wooded, but for half a mile around the edges there then was a thick growth of forest. Six of us, of whom Miss Bailey was one, landed soon after dinner. Almost at once we came upon some old camps of fishermen or wreckers. There were pigs and gnats on the island, and these had made paths in every direction. While Miss Bailey and I kept together the others separated, each one taking a path, and we spent the whole after-

A SHFl.l.BOAT KAN ALOXUSIDK. noon in a vain search. We had given tho north shore a pretty thorough investigation. Next morning we took the east shore, aud we were nearly around to the south beach and a good two miles from where the wreck took place when we discovered a rude structure in a thicket. The spot had once been cleared, as wo found by the stumps and roots, hut had

again overgrown.

Yes, it was a shelter erected by Miss Agnes. We had no doubt of that from the first glimpse. She had lashed four stout poles to four trees as a framework and hud then made a roof of hoards and hark and the sides of poles. The hut was about 12 feet square, and the doorway was still guarded by a piece of tarpaulin. Miss Bailey and 1 were alone, and fully believing we should -find a skeleton inside the hut 1 requested her to let me make an investigation by myself. This she would not hear to. Indeed she was the first to enter. The poor lost woman had done a wonderful thing there. The hut was ns gmxl as a man would have made it, and she had floored it with sailcloth, made a good bed of the same material and brought up many tilings from the wreck. There were two chairs, a table, cooking utensils, dishes, a few hooks, a looking glass, a seaman’s chest and a lot of other thiiijs, and on the table were the ship’s log and pen and ink. The books, clothing and many other articles were completely dent rayed by rot, as you may suppose, but the leg book, being an old fashioned one, hound with leather and having been closed for

years, was not so tar gone hut what we gleaned much information from it. Miss Agnes had used it fur a diary, and its use extended over a pTiod of 28 months. She told of being carried ashore when the brig broke up, of dead bodies and wreckage strewing the beach, of wandering up and down for days, hoping to bo taken off. She finally began tho hut and carried the articles to it. There was a spring of fresh water near by, and she lived mostly on what she got from the wreck. She siioko of catching fish, gathering bivalves and finding wild fruits. There were two entries in her journal in regard to men landing on tho island, hut their rough looks alarmed her, and she remained hidden during their stay. The last entry iu the journal was over six years old. Tho woman was then in good health and hopeful of rescue. She had not died in the hut, hut if taken off why had she not communicated with her sister? We could only conclude that she had died in the forest. Everybody hut an anchor watch was brought ashore to assist in the search, and wo were seven days going over the island. Nothing could bo found. I reasoned that tho wild hogs would have disposed of the remains, hut 1 did not tell Miss Bailey so. She argued that her sister might have 1 con drowned, or that, becoming desperale, she had left the island on a raft and perished at sea. We had found everything but her, and as the search was only based on a dream it was to he considered a wonderful thing. The searcli had been completed, and in an hour more we should have been off, wh.eu a Nicaraguan shellboat ran alongside of us. Before wo had asked a question one of the three men iu her inquire d if we had come for tho woman. Six years lx Tore, on landing there one day, they had found a woman lying unconscious on the beach. She had evidently mi t with a fall on tho rooks while gathering mussels. She soon recovered her senses, but looked at them in a strange w ay and would not speak. They searched about a little, and not finding her house got the idea that she had drifted ashore on a piece of wreckage, and being humane people they had taken her to the Costa Rica coast, where she was then to be found. As she had never spoken, they did not know her nationality. They had told two or three American and English ship captains and many people ashore about her, hut as no one was interested she was taken in by a widow as a servant and was still serving in that position, never speaking, always having a strange look, but doing fairly well as a servant. You may have read how we found and returned her to England. She was so changed that it was several minutes Viefore Miss Agnes could identify her, but she proved to Ixi the lost sister. The fall had fractured her skull and made her slow witted and irresponsible. She would not use her voice, nor could she call up the past in a single thing. She went hack with us almost as a piece of baggage, hut to he cared for with sisterly affection to the last day of her life. “Dreams are but dreams, ” and yet this dream lost Miss Agnes $7,000 and recovered a sister supposed to have ' been dead nine long years. The Hext Way t» Kill a Hear. “Recent disclosures as to the w ay in which some New Yorkers kill hear,” saiil Mr. .1. C. Osgood, "remind me of Paul Morton’s discovery of the way to catch them. He was traveling with a party of good fellows on the Canadian Pacific railway. On that road the passengers are supplied with a most interesting little hook giving the name of every town through which they pass, with nice little hits of information as to what may lie seen timre and for what the town and surrounding country are noteworthy. "The Morton party observed after the name of a statiou»where tho train was to stop tho statement, ‘Here hear may lie found.’ Arriving there, they dispatched their meal as soon as possible and liegan to look for hoar. Hure enough, there was one on the premises tied to a stake in the back yard. The advertising man had taken care to make good his word. Some inquiries as to the habits of the animal elicited from the sniall boy in attendance the fact that hears like sugar and would climb a tree to get it. One of tho party put this statement to the test by placing a caramel on top of a pole, and the hoy was vindicated by the bear’s climbing to the top, hut the caramel, not so easy to month as sugar, stuck in his teeth. He came down the pole, lay on the ground and tried to get it loose with one of his fore paws. This failing, lie inserted the second paw, and then the third and tho fourth until he was helpless on his back, with all four paws iu his month. “Mr. Morton now claims priority of discovery in tho fact that the best way to ( atch a bear is to feed him on caramels, get all of his paws in his mouth, and then (Tub him to death.”—Chicago InU'r Ocean. Rcciiv red HD .Memory In old ,tj{<*. Authentic instances of old people who have recovered lost sight, hearing or speech or who have grown a third set of teeth or a supplementary crop of hair are not uncommon. But eases in which perfect memory has been regained after being impaired almost to the verge of extinction by paralytic shock are rare. This, however, has happened to William McEntee, an old man of K4, resid inguii North Twenty-eighth street. During the recent storm he insisted upon taking his daily walk, and in consequence was laid up with a severe cold. While sitting in his armchair after his recovery, a day or two since, he found himself hunimniing an air which ho had not heard since he was a lxiy in the Emerald Isle. Then he 1 Kigali to tell a story which the old song recalled, and to the amazement of his family he went on to recite incidents and events not only of long ago, hut of more recent dates, of which before his brief illness ho had no recclleeticn.—Philadelphia

Hints For I'in no I'lnvcrs. The more rapid the execution upon the piano the more important the fingoring. In slow passages greater diversity of fingering is possible and greater license allowable; in fast passages only one fingering generally »s the best. Care and ingenuity should be exercised to discover it, rather than practice for days and months against hope with combinations of fingerings that may have a logic of their own, but are too difficult. Players will sometimes practice very difficult passages for years without conquering them, simply because it does not occur to them to improve the fingering. The passage in the “Fantuisie-Im-promptu, ” in C sharp, by Chopin, seventh and eighth measures, is very difficult and unsafe when excluding the thumb from the black keys, while it is not hard and quite safe when the thumb is taken on C sharp, passing over to B sharp \Vith the second. With tho fingering first alluded to this run will remain a source of anxiety to the player even after years of the most thorough practice, while with the one last explained a dozen occasional slow repetitions will suffice to keep it fluent, and instead of dreading it the player will desire to perform it, says a writer in The Etude. Pupils who read very slowly at first cannot see the need of a particular fingering. Mo<l«‘rn Tree Fulling. The most export tree chopper or sawyer cannot conipot4i with the electricul process in point of time. The mctliiHl is simple. A platinum wire Is stretched between two poles and made incandescent. No matter how large the tree in diameter tho wire will burn through it, and in about onoeiglitli of the time usually taken to saw through it.—Philadelphia Preas. Dainty Lingrrii*.
