cannot compel him TO do what | could
not do myself and it is for that reason
that | am on my way to visit the Gov
ernor OF Ceuta.
The Doctor WAS not exaggerating.
Tho fact of the influence of suggestion
in the hypnotic state is now admitted.
The works and observations of Char
cot, Brown.Sequard, Azam, Rchet,
Dumontpailier Maudslay, Bernheim,
Hack luke Reiger, and many others
leave no doubt on the subject During
his travels IN the East the Doctor had
studied some OF the more curious cases,
and had added to that branch of physi-
ology rich contingent OK new observa-
tions. He was thoroughly we'll in
formed rs to the phenomena and the
results that could be obtained from
them. Gifted himself with great suG-
gestive power which he had often exer-
relied to carry off Carpena-if chance
had not made the Spaniard insensible to
its influence.
But if the Doctor was henceforth
master of Carpena, if he could make him
do what he liked in suggesting to him
his own will, it was still necessary that
the prisoner should be free to move
when the time came for him to accom-
plish whatever might be his work. And
this permission the doctor hoped to OBJ
tain from Colonel Guyarre in such
form as to render it possible for tho
Spaniard to escape.
Ten minutes later the carriage arrived
Mt the entrance to tho large barracks
just inside the Spanish boundary, and
drew up before the governors house.
Colonel Guyarre had already been
informed that Doctor Antekirtt was in
Ceuta. Thanks to the reputation he
had gained by his talents and fortune,
this famous individual was sort of
monarch on his travels, and as soon as
he entered the reception-room the col
onel gave hearty welcome to him and
his young companion Pierre Bathory,
and at the outset offered to put at their
entire disposal the Little piece of Spain
so fortunately cut off from the Moorish
territory"
I'VE thank you for your offer" was
the Doctors reply in Spanish, Ian
guage which, like him, Pierre under
stood and spoke fuently; but 1 am
not sure that we shall be able to take
advantage of your kindness. "
"Oh The colony is not large one,
Doctor Antekirtt," answered the gov
ernor. I'm half day you could get
round it Are you going to stay here
any timer
-Four or five hours at the most"
said the Doctor. Il must leave Tonight
for Gibraltar, where / have an appoint
ment for tomorrow morning"
Leave this EVENING"" exclaimed the
governor. ALLOW me to insist /
assure you, Doctor Antekirtt that our
military Co ony is worth studying thor
oughly! You have doubtless seen much
and observed much during your travels
but perhaps You have not paid much
attention to the question of prison dis
cipline and assure you that Ceuta is
worth study, not only by scientific men,
but by economists.
Naturally the governor was not with
out some conceit in singing the praises
of his colony, but he did not exaggerate
in the least The administrative sys-
tenn Of Ceuta is considered one of the
best in the world, both as affecting the
well being of the convicts and their
moral amelioration. The governor
insisted that man in Doctor Antekirtt' S
position should delay his departure so
As to honor by visit the different de-
partments of the pcnitentiarv.
"That would be impossible, but to-
day am at your service, and if you
like"
1T is four o'clock, said Colonel
Guyarrc, land you see there is SO little
time"
Quite So, said the Doctor, land I
am in n similar fix, for just as you wish
to do INC the honors of your colony, I
am anxious TO do You the honors of my
) yacht
"Cannot You postpone for to-day your
departure 10 Gibraltar p
81 would do so il nm appointment
had not been arranged for me for to-
morrow. and which. as say, compels
me to sail"
"That is really annoying " replied
the governor, land / shall never con-
,ole myself for not having kept you
niger But take care / have got
ur vessel under the guns Of my forts.
4 I can sink her if give the word ~
And the reprisalsl" answered the
,etor, with laugh. Are you pre-
