One had just been sent me by my ce
aunt to remember an uncle by, as it it
was a favorite ring of his. The other TI
was just a large cameo I had. th
Well, they went away in full antici
pation of enjoyment, and the rings.
After they had been gone several be
days a relative canie in, and said, R
"Please let me see uncle's ring." I g
started to say it is lost, for at that si
minute I knew that it was. But I ni
could not say it because the vision h.
had just come to me, and it was this:
While the girl was talking to me I of
saw - The upper deck of a boat ri
on the Gulf with a very happy group di
of young people. The daughters of ir
Jane sitting in front, all of a sudden de
she threw up her hand and cried, el
"Oh, my ring! my ring! see the set a
rolling!" It rolled swiftly to the very ti
edge of the boat, but two young men. o
sprang for it and caught it at the last ti
minute. I was two hundred miles v
away, but I saw it, and I knew for a
two days and nights that Jane was n
most miserable and had no other con- A
nection with her, so of course thought
the ring lost. This is what happened c
when the young men gave her the set. a
She put it in the ring and turned the h
set in her palm. Thinking not to for- p
get it. After the boat ride, a whole i
bunch of them got in a car to go to av
neighbor's to dance. When they ar- h
rived at the house the girl screamed, t
"Oh, the set is gone again!" Every
body was most sympathetic-got a t
flash light and searched the car. No a
cameo. The child was so distressed
that she went home as soon as possi- c
ble to tell her mother. Jane was so
unhappy about it that she telephoned
the late hostess and asked that she I
would search the car as early as she 1
could in a vain hope. The next morn- I
ing the lady telephoned her deep sym
pathy, but said that her son had tak
en a fishing party out in the car at 1
4 o'clock that morning, but when they
came back she would search thor-1
oughly, which she did that night, and I
found the cameo, unbroken in a crack
in the floor under the rug.
Jane slept that night. The next
morning she was coming home and on
the way to the train was to stop for
the cameo. She did. No one at home
and the servant had not heard of it.
Despair, train time. There was a
misunderstanding. She had carried
it to her office.
The well set ring now is safely at
home in my box. When Jane finish
ed telling me, I said not a word. And
Jane said, "Oh, please speak. I've
been most miserable."
I said, "I have nothing to say, ex
cept I'm glad you found it. Thought I
it lost, but I saw it all but the finding.
The boat, Jane's misery, and every
thing." tia
a:
I believe a whole lot in atmosphere. his
I both past and present. In an old de(
,Rectory where I have sat under two
i generations of Rectors the uncle long I's,
t since gathered to his Fathers. The ma
I nephew busy in the house when this key
happened.
I was sitting on the side of the bed lar
I of the Rector's wife. I could see di- bra
t rectly into the Rector's study. Sud- de'
p denly I saw the old Rector walk in all
f in his clerical robes and go up to the ga
a desk, which was one he had used, op
I, en it, take out a bundle of papers, Jo
t assort them, and put some back. He
y turned toward the door and on sec- I
n ond thought turned back to get some- de
,t thing else, put it with the papers and lai
s went out of the door. The Rector's -
r wife said, "What in the world is the
s matter with you? You are so pale."
t- And I told her.
t Almost immediately the Rector ch
d came in and asked her if she had seen co
t. a certain bundle of papers. He was V(
e having a vestry meeting and those at
c- papers were most important for the
le matters on hand. He thought the is
a vestry had them and they said they te
r- had not seen them since his uncle's tt
d, time. 'gi
r- She said, "Cherie has just seen tt
a uncle take the papers out of the desk ol
ro and go out the door with them." fl;
-d "Good heavens!" he said; wife! I nl
i- can't go and tell the vestry that." m
3o I had also seen the old gentleman
d once before-it was in church. The
se Bishop and two visiting priests were
id there. The Rector walked first, the
i- two visiting priests, the old Rector
a- and the Bishop. The Bishop took his
k- seat in one of the carved chairs by
at the altar, and the old Rector in the
ey other. After the opening prayers,
r- the Rector went to take his seat, and a
sd the old gentleman was not there.

"No Johr" the dealer replied, "the
land will be yours without any incum
