We see him writhing on the straw. He throws up both his hands and gasps hysterically for breath. His eyes open suddenly.

Yes; but the dream seems to have taken a new course.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
