He described that man and others, but
their descriptions did not tall with
that Ut the captain whose personal ap-
pearance had been infinitely described
to me. Here comes another man, said
he, from that room down to the end Of

timed There's another comm down

Il directed him to keep his eye,on
this man. and follow him wherever he
went. We followed him down the stairs
and into the street. Here comes anoth-
er Teller He'sa speakin to him. He
looks an awful lot like him, only older.
They are whisperin' together. He's
goin' with him. Now we are goin' by
the Methodist meetin' house. There's
Judge Clark comm Why didn't you
speak to hinl?' GO on. Gro on. You
will lose sight Of those men, said r.
Judge Clark, whom everybody had
known and loved, had baen dead three
years. They are goin' inter that old
lumber yard. They are dom some
thin in that corner. As sure's you
live they're buryin' that little yeller
bundle tied with {. pink string. He got
that outer that feller's room this morn
in. He's q tellin' how he seen it stick
in out under his piller when he went by
the door. NY subject had now been
under influence as long as thought it
safe to keep him there for that day. SO
/ placed the notes my friend had made
in the drawer, nnbandaged his eyes, and
brought him back to his normal condi-
tion by a quick upward motion of my
hand. As he opened his eyes the dazed,
troubled expression seen in the eyes of
asomnambulist on first regaining con-
sciousness came into them for second,
but hewas utterly unconscious of any
thing which had occurred, supposing it
to have been one of Our usual expert
nents, and was too dull and Indifferent
even to ask. 10 ..s5.,.se
"At the same hour the next day we
again met at my room, according to APP
pointment, and took the same positions.
Blindfolding my subject, I told him TO
go bs ok and take up the clew. He
soon found the man again. I told him
that he must now condense time, count
ing every six hours as one, in order to
catch up in the week. He readily COM
pretended, although in his normal con-
dition it would have taken him a week
to have understood me, and Immediate
ly passed over six hours. Now said
he, it is night, aud he is in bed. He
feels bad, and can't sleep, turnin' and
tossin' and gettin up every fewminutes,
wishin' it was mornin' Jumping over
another SIX hours hs described his
getting up, his hurried breakfast, his
worried anG anxious manner, his de-
parture from the tavern, his again
meeting his brother, who seemed to be
waiting for him. They are goin' down
that street; said he. Now they're
clinain' up them steps and goin' inter
that door. Stand back, said he, AN
let me open the door. Come in. This
is. a carpenter shop. They're down by
that chest. There they've got that
little bundle agin. Now they're hidin
it in he,chest. They hid it in the lum-
Der yard once. Now they're hidin' il
here. an whisperin' together. The
young ones agoin' out AS we fol
lowed he again startled me by
calling my attention to meeting
and being spoken to by q friend
long since dead! We had description
OF another anxious, restless night, and
another day my subject always leading
me and we followed the ;clew.a After
Diminishing our so1nnambulist my friend
and myself as before. went over every
rod of the ground we had just been
travelling mentally and visited the car
penter shop, where the subject said the
money was hidden. We then under
stood why he requested me to stand
back while he opened the door. We
found that the stairs, which he climbed
on the outside, led up to a small plat
form. The door opened outward, and
a person entering must step aside to al
louflt room to swing.
H AT our third sitting we had brought
The time down to within two days Of our
present date. This time, in following
our man around, he came across the
bridge, and step BY step we followed him
to our hotel. Nov he's goin' inter The
stage Office said he. He's givin' Mr.,
Walton, the stage agent, q paper. It
looks like bill. Mr.. Walton is givin'
him some money an tells him to sign the
paper. Read the name he signs, said
