Richard Risley of Port Jefferson,
L. l., is hard working bayman. He
has rather pretty daughter. who for
the past year, according to the New
York World, has been puzzling the
doctors in consequence Of peculiar
affection which has attacked her eyes.
Miss Risley is about II years old. A
year ago, while walking on the beach
near her home with her mother, she
suddenly exclaimed that something
had entered her eye. She pressed her
hands over her eyes and moment
later fell in at. The young woman
was carried home In partially un-
conscious condition. When finally
she was restored to consciousness IL
was discovered that her eyes had q
strained look as though some inward
pressure was forcing them out of their
sockets She complained OF no pain.

not close down over them, so that the
sufferer sleeps at night with her eyes
WIDE open. Her sense of sight is
gone while she sleeps, this having
been demonstrated by experiments.
The peculiar trouble which has at
tackled her eyes also appears to be
sapplng the young woman's health.
She has become pale and emaciated,
and has the appearance Of person suf-
fering from consumption. Her con-
dition has thus far deiled the skill OF
the doctors, who admit that they are
unable to explain the cause.
