OUR SHORT STORY. A DREAM STORY. I must preface my story by saying that I am not, and have never been, prone to indulge in superstitious fancies. And yet the story I have to tell is the story of a dream-a dream strange, unaccountable, and at the time interesting-that happened to me nearly two years ago, that was speculated upon, and finally dismissed from mind until its memory was cruelly revived in an occurrence that has been the one great tragedy of my life. What the inter-relation of the dream and this subsequent occurrence may be I know not. I shall tell my tale, so far as it has gone, plainly and truthfully, and perhaps, before these written words are in print, the sequel may have been reached, and the truth made clear to me-the truth -hat I am waiting and watching for, and have concentrated all my power of will, all my .orce of intellect into the determination to jompass. A little over two years ago, in November, i882, I was passing the last months of my oaehelor life in chambers in one of the Inns jf Court. In the early part of the coming y^ar I was looking forward to my union with Chillis Grey, between whom and myself there aad been a long engagement. Phillis was tittle more than a child when I was a youhg .nan. Her mother's house had been a second -wme to me, and her brother Tom had, since boyhood, been my dearest and most intimate friend. Tom had two years before left Lon- Jon to practise his profession in a provincial cowu, taking his widowed mother and sister cO reside with him, and it was not until I round myself alone, after their departure, that I began to realise how entirely my life's aappiness was bound up in the sympathy and companionship of sweet, flower-faced Phillis. And so it happened that not many weeks after they had been settled in their new home, I rushed down, an unexpected, but not un- welcome visitor, went through the necessary explanations, and found out what, with male blindness I had never yet suspected, that my darling s heart had long been mine, and that for weary months she had waited patieiitly ] for word or sign from me, doubting and fear- ing that my regard for her was but a brotherly affection, given to the pet sister of my dearest friend. Henceforth there was no room for doubt on her side or mine. I think there was never more perfect understanding between man and woman thatl: that which existed between us; though many months were yet to pass before I could be in a position to claim her as my wife, I think the interval did out strengthen the bond that united us, giving us both a clearer insight into each other's characters and feelings. For myself I had no secrets from her, .and the resolve that my letters should be a record of my whole life. a transcript of its most secret thoughts, was a powerful talisman against the admission into it of evils that could not even be hinted at to my pure-minded darling. And for her, as I marked the development of her clear, strong intellect through the correspondence of those two long years, I was astonished and proud of my future wife's cleverness; proud, too, without any arriepe Jpeilsec, for there was a deptn of womanly tenderness in her nature that forbade her ever becoming a typical »pecime»f of tefe strong-minded female, and that tifSIBIc"hfer m6st lovable woman" I ever knew. Tom and I corresponded also, but our letters were on subjects of more general import. We were both interested in the leading questions of the day, and although the view that we took of them was often diametrically opposite, we always had a respect for each other's honest opinions and profited mutually, 1- think, by our knowledge of it. One day, on the 12th of November, 1882, on returning very late to my chambers (it was nearly midnight, and I had been spending the evening it a friend's house in the suburbs), I found awr-tit- ing me a long letter from Grey, that had come in by the late post. It contained an eloquent exposition of his views on the ques- tion of land tenure in relation to the con- dition of the working population. It was a subject in which I was much interested, and about which I had been writing lately, an.I his letter was a reply to one that I had sent him a few days previously. I was very tired, but I kept awake long enough to read through Tom's letter, which I threw down on nfy bed- side table and forthwith fell asleep. Almost at once, as it seemed, I found myself carrying on the argument face to face witn Tom Grey, in a scene that was entirely strange to me. We were both sitting in roomy, comfortable easy chairs, smoking, over a huge fire in an old-fashioned square room with aak- panelled walls; a, table facing the fireplace had been thrust back against the opposite wall, and on it was a shaded lamp and the remains or the preparations of some mail. Tonj -was nearljrt~6i)po8ite the fire, my own chiir I had, drawn back into an angle to avoid the heat, and as I sat I could just com- mand a vista of an adjoining room through an open door in the wall at my left hand. In this room there was neither lamp nor candle, but the glow of our fire threw a broad path of light through the open door across the room, just touching a door at its further end. The room appeared to be dismantled, or at xeast in some disorder, and I could see that a, heavy table had been pushed out of its place, feo that between it and the wall a space was left wide enough for one person only to pass through to the further door. All these details sank instantly into my mind, not conveying any feeling of wonder, for it seemed to me that the whole scene ought to be perfectly familiar, that I was sitting in my own house, although I had certainly never been in any place like it before. The conversation went on, and still, as we talked, my gaze wandered from time to time through the open door into the half obscurity of the further room. Sud- denly an impression was fombly conveyed to my mind that there was a presence in the room, that something had but now passed, or was passing, in the narrow passage formed by the wall and table. The firelight fell full upon this spot, and it was certain that there was nothing to be seen, yet I felt that it, whatever it might be, was there. My first thought in my dream was a suspicion of trickery, which became merged into a deter- mination to find out what it was, whether trick or not; so, with simple curiosity, and without the slightest sensation of fear or awe, I rose from my chair and passed into the next room. making no explanation to my com- panion, but continuing my talk with him as I walked across the floor. I saw nothing, but as I passed the end of the table I became aware of that particular sensation of the in- stinctive knowledge of a presence of which I fancy most people have been at some time or other conscious, when parsing a person un- expectedly in the dark. I went up to the further door, opened it and looked through. The moonlight fell clear and strong through a, large uncurtained window into a bare and empty lobby. lighting up every corner of it distinctly. There was nothing there, so I closed the door and turned to re- trace my steps, with, for the first time, a shiver of nervous apprehension. Two steps I made and then I was stopped, how or by what [ could not say. I stood now full in the path of light cast by the fire, I looked straight into the next room at my unconscious friend, mently Smoking until my return; there was nothing visible, noUung tangible between me and light and life, and yet I was powerless to reach them. I almost despair of being able to describe the sensations which in those moments I experienced. I did not seem to be overpowered by any sense of physical fear; the effect was rather a complete paralysation af all physical energy. It seemed as if I had pitted my mental strength, my power of will against those of some unseen malign spirit that was stronger than I. There was the sense )f a desperate struggle of conflicting influences. [ felt that I might conquer if only my physical forces would hold out, but they were failing, [ was incapable of moving hand or foot; my blocd was^etticscold in my veins, and my heart beat painfulTy and with slower, slower pulsations. An unutterable horror took pos- session of me. One minute more of this and [ must die, and then the certainty that if I jould but touch anything living my strength would revive nerved me to utter one hoarse :ry, at which Tom Grey sprang up and oame rapidly across the room to me, and as he grasped my hand I was myself once more. Shaken a little and cold, but with a laugh of triumph and defiance, I passed with him into the light and warmth again. So much for my dream. It would be dia- loneet to say that I was not affected by it I did not expect anything to come of it, and yet it exercised my mind very much; so much so that I said nothing about It to Phillis, arguing that, as women, even the most sensible, are occasion- ally nervous about such matteM, it would be better not to expose her to the chance of being needlessly distressed. Impressions of this kind soon die away in a man's mind. Christmas came and was spent quietly and happily with my little girl and her mother and brother. In February our marriage was to take place, and the interval was. on both sides, occupied with many preparations. Phillis was unable to come to London to, stav before our wedding, so as we both had strongly-defined views as to the sort of house we would like to live in we decided to take f none at-all until we had been some months married, but to spend the summer months in apartments in some convenient suburb, and to look about together for something to suit us in which we might get comfortably settled before the winter set in. Of my married life I can say nothing here; those few brief months of golden summer fled like a happy dream. I was so happy that I felt afraid of my happiness, and as I looked into my oweet wife's eyes I thought at times that I could read there some unacknowledged apprehension of the price that fate would exact as the payment of our too perfect bliss. By September we had found an old-fashioned house near Chiswick Mall. that exactly squared in with our notions of the comfort- able and the picturesque. It stood in a large and well-timbered garden, and from its upper windows nulling .could be seen but the grounds of our neighbours and our own. It was near enough to the river to be easy of access for boating; far enough off to escape the high tides. As to the house itself, it was panelled throughout; its rooms were large. gloomy, perhaps, some of them, but with immense capacities of artistic decoration and solid winter comfort. The ground floor rooms were large, and required much repair, and as I had ordered some suitable old-fashioned furniture from a country dealer, which was not yet delivered, we decided to take up our abode in the upper part of the house for the first month of our tenancy. Mrs. Grey and Tcm were to come up and see us in November, and we hoped by that time to have got tho workmen out from downstairs, and all our carved oak and Chippendale in its place. A series of accidents, however, occurred to delay our settlement. The workmen progressed our fettlement. The workmen progressed | slowly, as thy always do; Mrs. Grey was not j well enough to come up at her appointed j time, go the visit was postponed for a week, I and was to take place on the 10th or 11th. I Phillis, though bright and happy enough in her home, was out of health, and to my intense annoyancc VJL business of importance suddenly demanded my going to Newcastle for two or tree days. I had more than an in- clination to throw it up altogether; but the results promised to be lucrative, and I had to think of the future of my wife and unborn child, so I overcame my reluctance to leave my little wife for the first time (her health forbade her undergoing the fatigue of the I journey with me), and I starred on the 9th, consoling myself with the reflection that her mother and brother would arrive on the fol- lowing day. and that I should myself return, at latest on the 13th. Meanwhile Phillis promised me the surprise of seeing our new rooms all arranged and in order by the tima I came back. I set out from home with a dull sense of reprehension that I could not overcome, Phillis's bright eyes wrere clouded with tears at the prospect of our first parting, but. thank God! there was no presentiment of evil in her mind such as haunted me throughout my ill-omened journey. On the morning of the 11th I found, to my great vexation, that my business could not be completed that day. and my return would be out of the question before the next afternoon. My trouble was increased by the repeipt of a letter from my; wife, informing me that she was still alone. her mother's rheumatism being so bad as to compel a, further postponement of the family visit. I despatched a telegram at once, explaifaing the impossibility -of my business being completed that day in time to permit of my return, and promising, iq any case, to he with her before nightfall on thep 12th. When I was once on my homeward journey my fetrrs -vanished, and I pabaed the long hours of travelling in sweet anticipations of the loving welcome that awaited me. The weather had set in suddenly cold, and the + journey was dreary and comfortless; the train I was very late at Kings Cros«, and by the f time I reached Hammersmith it was getting on for half-past eleven. Leaving my cab at the top of a foot-passage leading between two high walls to my garden entrance, I let myself in by the garden gate. I had" had a latch fitted to the old iron-cased front door a. few days before I left home, and I now opened it with so much noise and creaking that by the time I had got my key out again I quite | expected to find Phillis's arms around m> J neck. Strange that she did not come! I f must have made noise enough to have aroused f her even had she fallen asleep await- 1 ing my arrival. With a re-awakened une-tsi- I ness I pushed open the dor to the right of .i the hall, from beneath which a line of light was Visible, and found myself in one of the rooms that had been furnished since I left home-a new room to me-new? Good God. where had I seen it before? The panelled walls, hung with my old familiar pictures and engravings, £ he blazing fire of logs ia r the old-fashioned grate, the table with its f shaded lamp, and supper laid, the two easy j' chairs drawn round the fire, the open door j' through which the firelight fell into the half- furnished room beyond-every detail struck me with a startling sense of familiarity as of sJine scene, the features of which had m some paet time been stamped indelibly upon my mind. But how or where? I Btood bewildered for a moment at the threshold, for the instant forgetting to wonder about my, absent wife, and then the flood of recollection came; my dream a twelvemonth ago this |. night. This was the very scene of its occur- rence. Here in this chair, to the left, sat Tom Grey; yonder was I in the chair which i% commands a view into the next room. What is to be seen there now? Alas! I knew, I felt what I should sf4, even in the brief moment that passed before I found myself in that accursed room of my dream, lifting from the floor, between the wall and table, where I expected to find it, the confused, inert form that had been -once my wife. Tenderly I bore her to the fireside, but its warmth could never again touch into life those cold bluo lips, those little hands so icy chill, clasped in a. passion of prayer or speechless agony so intense that no human fingers could ever again unlock them. Dead and cold, her stiffened features, her wide open eyes and s parted lips, frozen into such an expression of > unearthly horror that no human being could | endure and live, so I came home to her, my: f1 life, my darling. Ah! Heaven alone knows what an agony of unavailing regret took possession of me in those few minutes. If I had never gone; if I had only seen those rooms before, but in their bare unfurnished state there had been no sense of familiarity about them; if it had been 1. oh, God! my > darling, if it had been I, for how can I live without you? Many months have parsed since that ter- rible night. The doctors were at pains to find out some family history of heart disease, and entertained me with stories of precedent cases where the evil had existed unsuspected until the fatal moment, and I well I held my tongue. After all. might it not be sor Should I let myself be thought a superstitious fool. and was it not better, more comforting (if anything could comfort me again), to believe that my darling had been taken from me in the course of nature, by the hand of God Himself, rather than to think that He had been so unmerciful, so cruel to the best and purest of His creatures, as to deliver her body and fioul into the hands of some unholy power? months have passed, and I sit here still, over the fire in that old-panelled room. r pondering these things, ever with an increas- ing resolve to know the truth for myself. They would fain have persuaded me to take leave of this house and its associations, but I I will not go yet. I have grown silent and morose, absent too, in company, for when, I go about my day's work, I am thinking, thinking always of my coming night vigil here in these solitary rooms. Men touch their foreheads sometimes, and talk beneath their breath of "the shock nevet got over," for I rear the whispered words. They are wrong, I am not mad, only full of thought and resolve. If I were mad, could I bear to sit hero alone in these empty rooms ? Should I not people their solitude with visions of dread and horror innumerable? But nothing comes to me, the west wind moans eerily nt the wide chimney, the mice scuttle and squeak behind the wainscot with startling sudden- ness, with subtle sound of flame by vents th-* fireshino drives," and nothing else. Nothing either to see or hear. Rut Novem- ber is drawing near apace, and the night of the 12th shall end my vigils; then shall I know either that she went from me in her appointed time by the hand of that Power to whose mandate all must bow, or if it be otherwise— if, indeed, my past philosophy have been at fault, and in this unhallowed room there may be set free some spirit of hell, who is given power over human lives and souls- then will I concentrate all my force of will into the determination to etrnggle against and overcome the unholy thing, or. ooc- quered, will die miserably ae she did.
