WOOD FIRES 



Curious it is what a psychic effect wood fires 

 have. My recollection of this dream was rather 

 pleasant. I don t know why, but somehow it 

 seemed to me, as I looked at Charlie when we 

 sat down to our breakfast, that some of the lines 

 of communication were still open to me. 



1 tried to interview Charlie on his dreams. 

 &quot; Try and recollect what you dreamed last night 

 and tell me. Think a moment and get it 

 straight.&quot; 



&quot; Oh, I know what I dreamed about without 

 thinking,&quot; said Charlie, promptly. 



&quot;Yes well, tell me all about it.&quot; 



&quot; I dreamed that I had a new sled and the 

 name was painted on it in red letters.&quot; 



&quot; Yes and what was the name ? &quot; 



&quot;Bully Boy.&quot; 



&quot;Was that all?&quot; 



&quot; No, I dreamed I had a new pair of fur 

 mittens.&quot; 



One thing seems quite plain to me now, and 

 it is that wood fires have no psychology for small 

 boys.
