of the question. the maid was dis
missed, and the engaged couple
renounced one another. each claiming
that the other was false. The young
lady returned to st. Paul, and despite
the entreaty of her parents, persisted in
going on trip to relatives on the Pa
cific coast. The affair was unexplain-
able by the parties concerned. but the
cause of the whole trouble was the
suave gentleman from New York, who
had placed the young lady under hyp-
motto control and suggested to her mind
that the adOred one of her heart was a
stranger. He had also exercised the
same influence over the jealous adOrer.
and made him believe that the compan-
ion of his moonlight trips was the lady
to whom he was to be married. The
maid was not tempered with. and as
she had no objection to receiving pres
ents galore, wisely held her tongue
until she was denounced by her mis-
tress and her lover. The result is that
sundered, and no possible amount OF
explanation will ever make them believe
that for two weeks their actions were
controlled by another who could make
them see with his eyes. II.
The scene that took place at the hotel
some weeks ago, when certain gentle
men from st. Paul turned night into
day and destroyed quantity of furni-
ture and clothing of guests by turning
the hose of chemical fire extinguiSher
through the transoms of sleeping guests,
can be explained. It was not the result
of dining mot wisely but too WE'LL" but
was caused by the hypnotic exponent
who stood by and calmly denounced the
conduct of the vandals, though he was
the cause of the whole trouble.
The only instance that has come to
light where the mysterious power has
been placed to laudable use by the
visitor from the Empire city was in the
case of young fellow who was desper-
ately in love with the daughter OF a
purse-proud merchant. His love was
returned by his fair inamorata, but papa
was obdurate, his only objection to the
would-be son-in-law being that salary
enter upon the sea of matrimony. He
sternly forbade the young man ever
mentioning the subject again. In de-
spair the disconsOlate wOuld-be Benedict
cOnfded to the ears of the New Yorker
his tale of woe. Anxious to make some
reparation for the mischief he had
caused elsewhere. he determined to use
his power in order to overcome the OBJ
jections of the father. To the young
people he, of course, only said he would
try and persuade the obdurate parent.
In less than week the young man had
been installed in a position in the mer-
chants Office at good salary, was the
possessor of lot and furnished house,
and had been married to the young lady
of his choice, her father signing the
marriage contract as a witness. he
spoke in the highest terms of his new
son-in-law-as long as the New Yorker
was around. But with his departure
for the East, the old gentleman's OBJ
jectionS to the admirer of his daughter
returned, when one evening he called
at the house and commenced to make
himself at home as Son-in-law should.
In vain papa protested, and when he
was informed that for two weeks ne
had had the Objectionable young man
in his Office and had also been present
at the wedding of his daughter. AMI
given her handsome doWry, he de-
nounced his informer as liar of the
worst type. Investigation proved that
it was all true, and since that time he
has visited many medical men in the
city to find out what the symptoms of
insanity are. He was told by all the
doctors that he showed no sign of brain
trouble, and ever since has declared
that he must have been bewitched. If
he reads this article, he will understand
the whole mystery. A. A. l.. l.
