JUST A DREAM I enter a dark, dismal passage and wander through the rooms. Itfs, dark and chilly and I wonder why I am here and what lies ahead. Any step might mean...what? Death? N0 it couldnft be that. But still it I'm not dead why am I here? As I go along, I can hear strange noises all around me. Looking, I can see nothing but the dark night. Still, strange noises seem to issue forth from various places around me. I 'speak to see if any one will answer, but I can't even hear my own voice, I'm beginning to get frightened. I can hear noises, why can't I hear my own voice? And then right beside me a voice says, 'Why are you here?' Who had spoken? I tried to answer but couldn't. I was soared stiff. What should I do? My one and only thought was Nrun.W So turning, I started. Three or four times I stumbled. Why oouldn't I get out of this place? Why must I be here? what had I done? As I ran, a voice kept saying, almost right beside me, 'Why run, child? You can't get out. You might just as well make up your mind to stay here.N And then a voice kept repeating, ?You're dead, you're dead, you're dead,W until I thought I would go mad. And then ----- Where on earth was I? I had just come to bed, or so I thought, and what on earth was I doing sitting on the floor? I must have fallen out of bed. But why? Oh, that horrible nightmare! What a relief to find out it was just a dream! Jane Oakes 'hh I THE MAN ON THE Honsn ' As I was very tired that night, I went to bed early. I was asleep almost as soon as I hit the pillow. The next thing I knew I awoke with a jump that landed me on the floor. There was a clatter outside and the sound of a man puffing and mumbling something like Wfish.W I ran out of my room just in time to see my father, who was going down stairs, trip on his long night shirt and fall the last ten steps, landing somewhere near his right eye. He stagger- ed to his feet and stumbled to the door swearing a blue streak. Outside there was a man on a droopy-looking old nag which was frothing at the mouth and looked all fagged out. The man sat there puffin. and hollered, WThe Kpuffl Brissh Cpuff, puff! Bridge Cpuff? the British are coming. They're marching up the river. I mean rowing up the road. fpuff, puffl I don't know what I mean. The British are coming, so climb out of that Wwhat-cha-ma-jiggern and get your gun and head for Concord. We're gonna stop at the bridge, I hope. Well, so long--gotta be going.N j ' '

9 His carriage came to a stop not more than ten feet from me and he just stood there as though he were posing just for. me. When he looked down upon me, he threw a piece of silver which fell at my feet. I stooped to pick it up and whenI looked back up he was gone. and nothing but the open door of my room greeted my gaze. .
