PROPHECY OF1926 The clock down-stairs struck twelve slow strokes. The next moment I heard a tapping on my window. I pulled the blankets over my head and tried to drown the sound, but it con- tinued with increased noise and force until the window flew open. I pulled myself together enough to unearth my head and Iook around. An old witch stepped stiffly into the room. She was dressed all in grey and ca1'ried a frothing kettle, 'tThe Present was blazed. in brilliant letters across the top of the kettle. After pausing a. moment near tl1e window she clattered stiffly toward my bed. My limbs seemed frozen in place for I could neither crawl from my bed or raise my arms to cover my head with blankets. There I sat grasping blankets in both hands while she halted before my bed and began speaking. She spoke slowly in a dry lifeless Voice the following words: I am the Past. At Present in this kettle I hold the froth of the Future. As she finished talking she gave the froth in

the kettle a vigorous stir with the handle of my hair brush. As I stared fixedly at it a picture was formed in the midst of the froth. I seemed to be looking from tl1e back of a large class room, before me at the front of the room a professor was giv- ing a lecture on History. Despite the addition of a pair of scholarly looking glasses I readily recognized our class presi- dent, Kenneth Doonan. Tl1e scene shifted and I beheld a large white house which I recognized as the Governor's Mansion at Albany. Natalie 1 Robbe?J walked down the steps with a very conventional look- ing man. They entered a large car waiting at the curb and slowly drove away. At this point the froth darkened and I seemed to be e11ter- ing a dark cave. Suddenly it began to grow lighter again and at last I saw a large room. - At one side was a dazzling throne. A Lyon wearing a jeweled crown was sitting 011 the throne. Harriet fBuck?j was seated beside him pouring tea for the King of the Beasts. The witch gave another stir to the froth and it all turned a mellow gold. The picture formed showed a music room done in gold. A gold shaded lamp was lighted near the grand piano where May Willistl sat practicing an Opera for the following evening. In an adjoining room her husband sat at his desk busily preparing a History Lecture. The next scene was from Switzerland. High up in the Alps two women were hiking. Dorothea Bartholomew and her illlllil seemed to be enjoying the mountain air immensely. Dorothea looked much stronger than when I last saw her. They rounded a large rock and suddenly came out on the most beautiful pla- teau. Before and above them were the snow capped mountains and all around them the beautiful rivers, rocks and valleys. over them the clear, blue sky.

My attention was immediately attracted to a tall, young man standing near the rail. Dark, good looking and well dressed he was giving his entire attention to the person at his side. As they turned to glance out over the water I looked in- 1
