DREAMS COME TRUE

A STORY OF THE BUSH FIRES. (By Telegraph—Special Correspondent.) Wanganul, March 25. That dreams sometimes come true was evidenced in the case of *Mrs. Mradly, of Mangaituroa Valley, Waimarino. In the course of a story related by her she said: "At midnight, I think, I was awakened, partly by tho roaring of the wind and partly by an awful dream I had just had. I dreamt that the Mangaituroa Valley was on fire from end to end, and that our house was burning. I dreamt that I suggested to my husband that he should takethe water tank down from the stand and let baby and I get into it, and that he should use the water to soak blankets and things in to put over, thetank to keep it cool. I dreamt I grabbed 'up everything I thought valuable and placed them in the tank. Just; as baby and I wero getting into the tank I awoke with a tcrriblo start. I thought I would tell my husband of my dream, but on second thought I decided not to, because he might havethought mo foolish. Well, in an hour or so sure enough tho valley was on fire and so was our house. I did exactly what I did in my dream and that was how we saved our lives. I shall never forget the experience. The baby and' I were in the tank from 3 a.m. till 7 a.m. when we left for M'Arthur's."
