"Will you retire, sir?"
"No, I shall remain here all night, and you will remain with me," replied Kanoffskie, timidly.
"But you will not sleep in your chair?"
"Yes, and so must you. But he had Christian burial?" he asked, anxiously.
"Yes, everything was all right."
"Thank goodness! But that dream troubles me, Barnwell," said he.
"Let it not, my dear sir–it was only a dream."
"But the coincidence!"
"True, it is a strange one; but only think, my dear sir, how many dreams you might have–many dreams you have had, or may have hereafter, in which there has been, and will be, no coincidence. It is merely a happen-so, my dear sir."
"No–no, Barnwell. I cannot believe it. But I feel better now that he has had a Christian burial, and you assure me that a holy prayer was said over his dead body."
