'.Goi" he exclaimed, and the unoon- scious fellow obedientiy turned and was permitted to leave the house.
 We waited in the shadow long enough to give Stanley opportunity to move short distance ahead, and then followed him as he retraced his path.
 ''WelllnI exclaimed, what does it all meanf'
 Why. don't you see, that old chap was mesmerizing your friend, he has used his mind as guide to direct him in his search for booty; locating 1t in this way enables skillful cracksman 10 pursue his vocation with more cer- tainty."
 A sudden light flashed upon my mind. Do you mean to say that you connect this occurrence with these burglariesG' inquired.
 That's it, was the answer
 ''oh, my friendT I exclaimed. you do not believe that improbable thing. Besides. such unusual influence of mind over mind has its limits; 1t can not direct mental scrutiny to objects only suppositious, or If not that--yet undiscovered.
 Wait and see, " was the reply. 'T may be mistaken, but I guess not. Come down in the morning, at any rate. and inquire for me at the office. Meanwhile, see your friend safely home" With this parting injunction he left me, and. overtaking Stanley, accompanied him. fortunately unob- served. until We reached the room.
 We were barely seated when Stan ley, with long, gasping breath and a conyulsiveshudder, regained his senses
 He seemed startled, however, to see his MS. upon the floor, not remember ing when he had dropped 1t. I said nothing. was too busy thinking to talk, but in order to divert his atten- ton from preoccapation urged him to continue reading his story. This he declined to do, and began shortly after to diSrobe for bed He curled himself comfortably in a nestIike arrangement of pillows and sheets and presently fell asleep
 It was now little after 10 o'clock.
 The events of the night passed before my mind.

He answered my questions, keeping his glittering eyes fastened upon me as he spoke. Then he faded out from the vision. and other disturbing objects haunted my dreams. until I suddenly found myself awakened by the struggle 10 avoid some of the impossible predica- ments into which I was thrown.
 I looked toward the bed and beheld n startling scene.
 Stanley sat bolt upright, with wild. weird expression in his eyes, which gave way immediately to relieved look as spoke to him.
 Whats the matter, Stanleyf" asked.
 Il hardly know" he answered. 'I feel as if some mighty burden had been lifted from my heart"
 l looked at my watch. It was l2 o'clock.
 The next morning hurried into town as soon as possible and sought my friend, the night watch. I found him standing within the door of the office, with peculiar ex- precision upon his countenance. The he perceived me he beckoned me to follow him into an adjoining room. Stretched upon the table lay the suggestive outlines of a dreadful object, covered with sheet. He ap- preached and pulled it aside. 9eavensl it was the body of the mesmeristi
 The watchman broke the silence.
 Game last night to Mr. B-'s house; two others with him. We were for them. and immediately they obtained an entrance we rushed Ut them; they tried to escape; one of my men fired; this one was shot through the head"
