By Docia Murr. (Written for tho Capital Journal.) t . Eilene Ballston was a studiouB and dutiful child. She had besides a decid ed religious instinct if I may so use the word, having descended from a line of ancestors noted lor Btrong proclivities for theological nnd ethical thinking some of which bad gained not a little fame aa writers along moral and re formatory lines. Eilene thus seems to have been a subject of heredity, inherit ing from those ancestors that wnrm and sympathetic, spiritual bent of soul which separated her iu thought and pur pose from the companions of her age and daily association. Yet along with this personal psychology went a healthy strain of practical common sense, ex eluding from the mind all morbid senti mcntalism. Tho usual morning household duties having been completed nnd being seat ed with her mother with tome special neodlework she was trying to comploto by Christmas now closo at hand, begun tho conversation by saying, "Mamma, do you believe dreams reully mean much of anything t" "Wcdl, Eilene,' that dopends. Some dreams come from a "multitude of business" the Biblo tells us. Homo arise from tho food we eat at improper times and in improper quantities, the stomach and brain being iu sympathy. Fevers will cause dreams at times and delirium which perhaps might be call ed abnormal or unnatural dreuming. Again dreams may bo providential or sent as warnings or admonitions or en couragements and in this way may bo sent for our good. But why do you nskf" "Why, last night I had such a beau tiful dream Yes, I will say b;.iutif jl tiiough tnero were some parts of it 1 did not understand. I saw a great arch. It was very wide. It reached clear across tho earth or that part 1 could see from where 1 Btood. It rested where tho earth and sky seem to come together stretching from east to west. The arch was also very high. It seem ed to go above tho clouds into tho very sky though i could soo the top ever so clearly. In tho center of this arch at tho highest part I saw a most lovely be ing standing which I in sonio way recognized to bo the Saviour. His bunds were raised about even with his shoulders and there seemed to come from them something like dew in drops. As theBO drops reached the earth beautiful flowers sprung up roses, hyacinths, peonies and others." " Well, this was beautitul indeed. Did you not understand what you saw!" . "Yes, I understood what I saw, but not exactly what it meant." "What did you next see!" "As I said I did not know what it meant, and as I thought about it there stood nearly in front of me a hand some person. Ho canio so suddenly it startled me nt first but seeing hia kind ly look I did not seem to bo afruid. Ho said, 'little girl, 1 see you are puz zled at what you see.' 'Yes, I do not quite understand,' I said. ' Then ho came closo tin and put tho tips of his fingers (I felt them) on my eyes. He then sail), 'What do you now soot Look.' Tho flowers had disappeared. Where they had once stood in a wealth of color and stately beauty was only blank space, yet a fragrance filled the air as coming from roses and sweet iccntod lilioB. Said my companion: . Look toward the nortli. I saw the great arch fado Blowly away, leaving J a mist or light cloud which floated out of sight." "Daughter, this was truly a wonder ful dream," Bald the .mother, "and must have interested you much. Did there anything olso occur!" . "Yes, indeed. The angel, or spirit or whatever he was, presently said, 'Eilene look toward where the flowers were.' I was surprised to hear my name culled and Bald, 'Kind air, pardon me, h you appear to know my name. How did you learn it!' Then he laid, 'I did not loam it. I always knew.' I said, 'please, slnco you know my name, would you mind telling me yours!' 'I will I am Palmoni, or the Numbercr of secrets or the wonderful Numborer. I am in the counsel of the Most High and from the Celestial Courts. I came to Daniel the floor in old Babylon which the Holy Book of God reveal, You have it and call it the Bible or the Book. Somethings I always knew, ai your name. Ab the Wonderful Number er of Secrets I knew your name and a' number of other secrets so called by mortals. I will tell you another. It will now soon bo Christmas. You will celebrate the birth of the Holy One, Jesus, the Lord, you saw standing on tho high arch. The night long ago when He was born the celestial ones from the courts of heaven sung, 'Glory to Ood in the Highest, Feace on Earth and Good Will to Men.' It was I who led the choir that glad night over the villnge where David lived and where the Son of David tho Redeemer was born.' "0, Eilene, how wonderful, how won derful to converse with a heavenly mes senger even in a dream," snid Mrs. Ballston, remarkably impressed by her daughter's narrative. "Yes, it was wonderful, nnd I will novor forget it, nor my Saviour who was born in Bethlehem in the long ago. Ho is now in heaven 1 know, and 1 love and prniso Him for the great salvation Ho brought to this world. O, mamma, isn't it glorious! And to think that an angel tulked with me about it. It was so real to me I boliove it was more than a dream." "Yes. Eilene, it may be it was more. The Good Being comes very near to us many times. But when you wero bid den to look toward where tho flowers grew, did you look and what did you see?" "Yes, mamma, I looked, but not at once. 1 was so ustouished to hear Him call my nnme and to tell me His and tho othor things he told mo that I for got all about it till He said, 'Won't you look toward the flowursj' When I look ed I saw they were replaced by tall and wide spreading trees full of beautiful fruit. These trees formed a vast grove or forest nnd seemed to fill all the epaco before me, far as I could see." l'al moni snid, 'Eilene, the fruit of those trees uro God's blessings to the world, blessings of all kinds to all, everywhere. The crystal drops that distilled from the hands of Jesus on tho nrch mean, the mercies of God through Jesus the Christ. As the flowers sprang up and grew from these drops, so God's bless ings to us come through Christ. Jesus is Himself a blessing and so from Him other diviuo blessings como and multi ply. Tho high arch means the years and centuries as timo is measured on your planet. Jesus is thus a blessing in all tho years and centuries of time past and in timo yet to come. I hono vou will remember this when'you celebrate His birth on next Holy Suturday. You see I havo told you a number of secrets. Am I not rightly named 'The Wonder ful Numbcrcr of Secrets' as I told you before.' "Mnmma, could I have had a more inspiring dream!" "It was wonderful, almost enchant ing certainly. I almost envy you." "My instructor also told mo tho star that guided tho wise men to tho manger where Jesus lay was a compnny of angels, bright and shining like a great star." "That is probably true. I had not thought of it before," said Mrs. Boll ston. "O, mamma, probably! I fully be liove it because l'almoni said so." "Certainly, truo enough, my dnugh tor." "He also said ha was ono of tho ang els composing tho great BtnrT I now saw him roll up in the air probably as high aa ono church stoeplo somothing Jjko a 8rcllt map like tho big map of urcgnn oniy nigger, mat hangs in my cnooi room, i could see at the top in biK lo"r"' tlia woril! "The Legacy of Jesus.' There were other lettcrB or writ- ing but they were smaller so I could not rend them. As I looked Palmoni came to my aide and said, 'I know you cannot read all the writing on the scroll it is Bo- far away, but what is on it is also in tho Holy Writings of God that you lovo to read, that Is tho Bible. Holy seers wrote whnt ia on the scroll and in the tons of thousands of copies scat tered over the earth. Thoo holy scribes wroto from God and not from their own minds. .Homo things they wrote I can help you to underotnnd.' 1 "So he told me many things. .

Ho snid he was tho companion of Gubriel nnd Michael. who was Christ; that he was present at the time of tho great rebel lion in heaven described by the poet Milton. He said it wns not poetry but fact; that he sustained the mighty Abdicl who stood 'unmoved, unseduced, uncrucificd' before the rebel host when he would not with them enter into the revolt. "Mamma, Rebecca told me once that the Virgin Mother of Jesus was not a good woman and that Bhe could not be the promised Messiah." "Rebecca is, as you know, a Hebrew, and tho Jews reject Jesus, because he also did not fulfill their mistaken ex pectations." "But Rebecca is a good girl and 1 will try to show her better. Thnt she docs not believo in Jesus is not his fault." "No, it is not her fault nnd she may yet be brought to know tho Saviour." "Mamma, this dream has been a great help to me and I believe God sent it. Palmoni snid if I would be good and do good tho angels of heaven and maybo he among them, would attend mo all my life and help me." "That is most encouraging, Eilene. I believe they will."

Local police court annals contain many a story illustrating the carefree way in which the motor ear thief operates. None, however, approaches the bare faced impudence of the man who, a few nights ago, stopped into Barney Oldfield 'b famous pet Maxwell touring car and drove it away into oblivion. That any of the motor brigands should deem it possible to purloin Bar ney's car and get away with it, stag gers tho imagination of the local cafe proprietor and his friends. That tho at tempt could be made successfully is in deed a blow. I Barney's car is probably the best known motor vehicle in Los Angeles. On it tho dean of the circuit chasers has lavished several varieties of special finish nnd personal equipment. With characteristic speed demon modesty, ho has decorated it freelv with signs nnd legends. "Barney Oldfield Olficial Car" appears on each sido in chaste gold- lettering. 8uch waa the ear the bold thief 'calmly picked for booty and "lifted." tho form of personal violence. "Why just think!" comments the veteran, "1 bought that enr iu El Paso early in the spring. It'B been as far enst ns New Vork, as far into tho northwest as Taconm and it's stopped off in most points in between. It's been tender for my race cars at every big rnco track in the country and it's carried me around every day it wasn't enroute by rail. "I've paid around $2,000 in express and freight charges on it. I just love that nntomobile. Why, Mrs. Oldfield wanted me to trade it in as part pay ment for a 1010 Maxwell with winter top. I wouldn't do it. I bought her tho car sho wanted nnd kept my own. Now it's gone." Buiney is having Maxwell dealers all over tho west notified of tho loss of the cur anil will offer a reward for in formation lending to its return, if it does not turn up in a few days more.
