HE WAS a man I had been looking
fur. I was entering upon dark
and unknown ways of life when I met
Kiggs, who stood nt the ece of the
darkness jelling lanterns. Ti:ey were
his specially. He noui:! se'.Uymi an
chors slid fathoms of el.;:in rmi mpe

his "lights" were thegren: ;;llr:;ction
01 itigg s. tie naa every ui ian- 1
tern that had ever swung i-n land or
tea. After dark, when light was
Ft reaming out of its open door and
sky window. liigg's looked like nn old
time lanlern itself. It was a rickety
frame hou-e starring under a steep j
roof elr-Fe to the rt-.ar rnt. The peck
hn:l fp'Tpd ?n the middle, nr:! eaves '
hung i.nr the sidewalk in a warped
'.?.? I r.t one niig' t lunch with his
hand in passing. An old si i;;s lan
tern .swung on an irt.n crane above the ;
d;:,r. It was a kw, broad door ,
plciried for a time xvhere men had big. ;
rnnrt'l bellies and mtthir.g to do but
fiil them and heads not yet too far i
abr.e their business. It challenged I
the eye with its hip- knocker nnd mas- ;
sive iron latch. The shop hnd one
little window gnn1 blind wh dust -;
and cobwebs, so that it re.-embled the '
dim eye of age.' A broken bowsprit
and a ship's anchor leaned scainst the
bleaching clapboards. Coils of rope ,
and rusty chain, blocks and heavy j
bolts, a steering tvheel end an old 1
brass compass lay near the door.
Inside were rows of lanterns hang
ing on the bare beams and rafters,
and Kiggs, who s-.it battide a bench, t
and gave orders to the lad who served 1
him, in a drawling, sleenv voice. An
old Dutch lantern, its light softened Ja" woru " woie ai my
with green glass, sent a silver beam a niJ touched it, the room
across the gloomy upper air of the l""5"5 dark- " if nint nd fallen
shop every evening. Ripgs had been iuddenly. and every sound hushed. And
blind for many rears, but there was a then I thought a mighty wave of light
heaven full of light in him for all that. "wPt over 01 in which everything ran

When he had finished he sat down
and, holding the lantern between his
knees, opened its door and, as the light
streamed out upon hia hands, rubbed
them a time, silently, as if washing
them in the flood of light,
i "Blind?" said the stranger.
"No," said he, "only dreaming as you
are both of you."
It seemed strange to me he should
think we were dreaming.
"Went to bed one night," he contin-
ued, stroking his long, white beard,
"and saw the lights go out and the
dark; and it's never come morning. I
jvent inta a. dream after 1M ffone tn
bd and dreamed that 1 .vuk blimt.
Ami then 1 OioujrM I woktf up anil

And I thought the-y lung l nml
an id It wna hroml daylight, ami wanted
to know what was the matter. And
I heard myself ask:
"Ain't it DtghtT'r And I heard them
answer:
'Night, why, man, ye mint ho
dreaming.' Then I thought I ftdt my
way back to my bunk; nnd I'm lytu
there yet in a dream and It eprnn very
long. And le dreamwl everythini? n
man could think of alnre t?u n. o'.t
see t was coming home to marry nn 1
settle down. Thought I came home
nnd my mother and slut or met mo nt
the dock. Of course. I coul-in't sou
them, and I felt all over their face.
and heard them crying, just as if it was
real.
"And, says I, 'Where's Annie? mean
ing the girl I was to marry; and 1
thought they told me ahe was there,
and put her hand in mine and I tried
terrible to see her. I thought I snt
down and cried and cried, -and then I
happened to think that I wa only
dreaming after ell. I dreamed tluit
she went awny and that my mother
died nnd that I started this little simp.
Seems bs if it was all real, and yet I
know I'm only I'-rcnming. You men who
come here to buy things and talk with
me are only part of my dream. One
day I tli ought man came In and told
me Annie wns married. Well. sir. I
sent the boy home and sat there in
the shop alone that evening. And by
and by my sister came in and says she
to me: 'What are you crying for?'
and says I: 'Annie's married.
"'Oh pshaw!' says she, 'you're only
dreaming. It'll all come right.)
"And so I keep forgetting it's a
Iream. Sometimes I have an awful sad-
. . . , , ., ,.
nt,ss but thank l'd. I kn.w I m onij
dreaming. I know that when the morn
ing comes I shall wake and lough a
the phantoms of the night nnd I shall
be young and happy. We'll be oft
Sandy Hook and looking to catch n
sight of home. And I Bhall be getting
ready to meet Annie and mother and
the rest. And I'll have my best clothes
out. 0, it'll be grand."
The old man's face had a merry
smile as he spoke of the coming morn
ing and the things it hnd for him.
"Seems ns if this dream had lasted
a thousand years," he continued, yawn
ing and rubbing his eyes. "Seems as if
I had grown, old since I went to bed
last night. But I've dreamed the like
before, and, my God! how glad I felt
when I woke in the morning! "
"Come," said he, speaking to the boy,
"let's have the lights up port an' star
board an' masthead, All right, sir, you
may have it for a dollar. It'll be all
the same in the morning.'

chor sunk in the deep of that long
night. It seemed to me that it would
be better for many of ns if we could
think it alt a dream and have his faith

the (hi we have lost. Bllt theni he

was a lunatic.
I And years went by many of them
filled with coming and going and
loving and striving and nights
and days like this one. And.
j long afterwards, when I went to Rigcrs'
'funeral, they told me that he rtne
in bed before the end came nnd held
his hand to his eyes. Looking into the
far sky he cried aloud: "The day has
come, thank God! and. I am going
home."
And as I was coming away I heard
the preacher saying: "A thousand
years are as a day. Our lives are but
a dream of the night. You that bear
me are dreaming'
The words angered me, for I knew
that I was awake. I could bear with
the insanity of Rigga, but not with the
sophistry of the preacher, and I
shouted:

we not hear and see and feel?" At the

Sagfestliilt on Irrigation.
In a Utile jirivnto mooting of
business men held lieru nri 11 5 jltt
in the intorontu of irrigation uml
other public malturs of tlieutnto nt
large, it was siipgtwtetl by a mem
ber of the State Irrigation Associa
tion that the county imsooiutioiix
in the districts where there arc
arid landu available for irrigation
works utidor the requirements of
the Government experiment bo
mnde with the various soils. The
Government chomista in Washing
ton will be very glad to nnnlyic
these toils at once, and before irri
gation works are commenced, ll
tlic soil shows an overabundance
of alkali, to make iirigation per
fect, subinigalion should be under
taken by drain tile just before
Hooding the surface of the land. If
only the surface is flooded, in a
year or two the excess of alkali
comes to the surface and kills veg
etation. Sub-irrigation carries off
the exec's and leaves tlio soil mel
low and fertile. The association
lu re will experiment on these lines,
It was especially suggested that
linker county, having a large
amount of Government laud open
to iirigation and general entry,
should also havo its soils analyzed,
and lie prepared to start' irrigating
in the right way. Telegram.
Moving 1.MKI t'ret A Vesir.
New York, Jan. I I. New York's
social center is today tlio intersec
tion of Fifth avenue ami Fifty
second street. For half a century
the social center has been moving
steadily northward along ' Fifth
avenue. So carefully is its move
ment watched that even its rate of
progress has been recorded with
mathematical accuracy.
In the last decade this invisible
point, about which so many mill
ions of dollars revolve, has moved
up tow n at the rate of exactly 2X
feet, or one block, a year. It is in
itself a remarkable fact that with
all the charges which have over
taken the citv in these years this
progress should have remuined al
ways exactly the same, never re
tarded nor accelerated, year in and
year out, by the slightest percept
ible fraction.
A period of exactly 82 years has
been required to t arry the society
center from its original position at
Fowling Green, to its present loca
tion. Previous to 1S2U, as far as
the record shows, the social world
occupied only the lower portion of
Manhattan I.-land. The old "Mil
lionaires' row" at the foot of liioad
way, now the site of the custom
bouse, was the first social center of
which there is any record, ( tliciiil
ly at least. From this point it has
moved very slowly northward.
The form of Manhattan Island
naturally prevented any wide di
gression of its course.
The new "millionaires' row" it
is now merely a tradition, although
the buildings still stand le Id the
social center in its vicinity for
several years. Its progress up
Fifth avenue was, of course, inevit
able. Pressed in on all sides by
commercial buildings and inter
ests, it has iriven. way slow ly but
steadily. The appearance of the
official building and the fashion
able' shop on "the avenue," year
by year encroaching more and
more upon the residential section,
is familiar.
Each year the fashionable world
encroaches little by little upon the
East Side, the great palaces of the
fashionable supplanting the flats
and the p ioier residences of thit
section. Many important build
ing enterpriser are at preseni
under way.
