FORTUNE IN A DREAM
There lived at Swaffham, In Norfolk,
a hardworking. Industrious man wbo
followed the trude of a tinker.
This man dreamed one night that If
he took a Journey to London and
placed himself on a certuln -part of
London bridge he should there meet
with a person who would communicate
something to him of great importance
to his future prospects in life.
Tho next night he dreamed the same
again, and likewise the third night,
when tho impression was so powerful
on his mind that he determined. In
tiplte of the remonstrances of his wife
and the ridicule of his neighbors, to
"go to London and see the upshot of
it."
Accordingly, having made arrange
mcnts as to the management of bis
business during his absence, he fur
nished himself with a sum of money
nnd set oft" on foot for the metropolis,
distant about ninety miles. He reached
the end of his Journey late on the third
day. nnd, having refreshed himself
with a night's rest, he took his stntlon
tho next morning on a part of the
bridge which corresponded with the
description in his dream.
There he stood all that day without
uny communication to the purpose of
Ills Journey. The next day It was the
tame, and the third, so that toward
night his confidence In his dream as
well as his patience began to be con
Hidernbly shaken, and he Inwardly
cursed himself for bis folly In not yield
ing to his wife's advice and resolved
that next day he would leave London
'and make the best of his way home
again.
However, he kept bis station until
lute In the evening, when Just as he
w-as about to leave it a Btranger, who
had noticed him stnnding doggedly
and with anxious looks on the same
spot for Borne days, accosted him and
asked what he was waiting there for.
After some hesitation the tinker told
him his errand, without, however, ac
quainting him with tho place he came
from.
' The stranger smiled at bis simplicity
and advised him to go home and In fu
turo pay no attention to dreams.
"1 myself," said he, "If I wore dis
posed to put faith In such things might
now go lot) miles Into the country upon
a similar errand. I dreamed three
nights this week that if I went to a
place called HwniThain, in Norfolk, nnd
dug under an apple tree in a certain
garden on tho north side of tho town I
should llud a box of money, but I have
something else to do than to run after
such Idle fancies. No, no, my friend;
go homo and work well at your calling,
and you will tlud there tho riches you
are sucking here."
The tinker was astonished. This, ho
doubted not, was the Information he
was seeking, but ho said nothing fur
ther to the stranger than to thnnk him
for his nilvlce and, to declare his de
termination to follow it. He Immedi
ately went to his room and next day set
oT for home, which lie reached safely.
Ho said but little to his wife on the
subject of his journey, but rose ouriy
the next morning nnd commenced die-

(pug on the sVot supposed' to be.pomiea
out by the stranger. After proceeding
In his work a few feet downward bis
spade struck ucAiat a bard subatance.
which, upon c leu ring the mold from the
top of It. proved to be an Iron chest
He qulckiy removed It to his house
and, ha vl tiff with some difficulty broken
off the lid, to bis g-ut joy found It
ful! cf money.
After securing this treasure be dis
covered upon the outside of the .chest
an inscription, which, being no Bcholar,
he was unable to decipher. lie there
fore hit u;uii the following expedient
to ascertain Us meaning:
There v.ns In the town a grammar
school, several of the pupils from
which were constantly in the habit of
parsing his smithy on their way to nnd
from school. .The tinker Judged that
by placing the chest nt the door It
would excite the attention of the boys,
and thus be should bo able to obtain
the object in view without exciting uuy
suspicion among his neighbors.
Ho soon had the opportunity he
sought A number of the boyB baring
gathered round, as was. their custom,
to witness tho operations of the forge,
ho took occasion to challenge. -their
scholastic skill in the translation of the
Inscription. Some shook their beads.
Others after conning it awhile said it
was not sutticlently legible.
At length oue older than the rest,
anxious to display his superior learn
ing, after scraping and brushing off the
rust gave the following solution of lt:-
Vhero this stood
Is another twice aa good.
Overjoyed nt this information, the
tinker next morning resumed his la
bor, nnd n little below the ground al
ready cleured be found a-second chest
double the size of the LI rat and, like It
filled with gold and silver coin.
Tho account goes on to state that be
coming thus suddenly a wealthy man,
the tinker showed his gratitude to
Providence by building a new chancel
to the church, the old one being out .of
repair.
And, whatever fiction the marvelous
taste of those ages may have mixed up
with the tale, corUin It 1b that there is
Bhowu at this 6a y a monument In
Swaffham church having an effigy in
marble, Bald to be that of the ttuker,
with his dog at his side nnd bis tools
and implements of trado lying around

Marked for Death.
"Three years ago I was marked for
death. A grave-yard cough was tear
ing my lungs to pieces. Doctors fail
ed to help me, and hope had fled,
when my husband got Dr. King's New
Discovery," says Mrs. A. C. Williams,
of I3ac, Ky. "The first dose helped
me and improvement kept on until I
bad gained 58 pounds in weight and
my hen! til was fully restored." This
medicine holds tho world's healing
record for coughs and colds and lung
and throat diseases. It prevents pneu
