and launched. Happily she had held
together and her engine had not fallen
overheard. Octave lighted a fire, and
then there was speechmaling while
the water boiled. Afterwards the
boat padded around the pond two or
three times at speed of about two
miles an hour, and Octave was over
whelmed with congra tulations.
He took them all seriously. He be-
came at once great steamboat cap
tain. His crew consisted OF one man
whose name was Fere Budreau. Bud
reau was also engineer and pilot. Oc-
tave could do nothing but support his
dignity as captain.
Meanwhile the steamboat made
little money taking out alleged pleas
ure parties. 4 certain degree of intoX-
ication among the politicians or the
jeun6sse dorce of Aurora was generally
accompanied by the idea of taking a
sail in Octavc's boat and having some
fun with him. He generally got about
half enough from these parties to pay
for the coal that was burned.
The climax came one Cay, just as one
of these pleasure parties had been set
ashore. Octave and Budreau started
to take the steamboat back to the
place where she was usually tied TO the
bank. She churned her way into the
middle of = the pond and then she
stopped Octave did not at first per-
ceive IT, The boat went SO slowly
even at her best gait that it was nee
essary to take a sight at something on
the shore to be certain whether she
was moving. This was VIVA Octave
did, and then he shouted:
''Eh, Budreau!'
AYE, aye, captaine," replied Bud
reau who had been drilled to respond
in this way:
eve do not move, hey? What foy?"
''The tam engine, he have stop,
capitaine."
Start him then"
81 cannot. He is broke"
''Dieu, Budreau, we drift to the dam.
We go over! We are lost.''
1t was true that the steamboat was
moving toward the dam. The pond
was unusually well supplied with wa
ter, and it was pouring over the en-
bankment. Octave looked wildly
around. From his lofty position on the
upper deck he could see Rudreau ncrv-
ously puttering with the engine. There
was an anchor on the forward deck.
Octave had bought it in Chicago, and
had got all the iron be could for his

A number of the prettiest of these
gowns have yokes made separately
from the bodice, so that they can be
worn evenings without. They thus
make suitable gowns for summer ball

guimpes made for the same gown of
different colors and different materials.

feet. Octave was wild with excite
ment. He ina gined his boat dashed
to pieces below the dam. As she drew
forty inches and not more than half
foot was going over the dam, there
was really no chance for such catas-
trophe. But Octave was too nervous
TO see this. He pranced around on the
upper deck shouting his orders to Bud
reau. Finally he got too near the rail,
and went over into the pond He land
ed feet foremost and found the water
little above his waist. He was sur.
prised. He supposed himself to be al
ready drowned.
The steamboat glided by him. He
must save her. With a frantic effort
he seized hold of her rudder and
braced himself as best he could to re-
strain her. At this moment she
touched the embarikment and stopped.
Octave believed that he was holding
her. He shut his teeth together: dug
his toes into the soft bottom of the
pond, and held on with the grip of
death.
"Budreau," he shouted, ''do some
things, and do him tam quick. l cam
not hold him much longer"
~ This remark inspired Budreau with
very low idea of his captains intelli-
gence. He was in the bow and could
see that the craft was aground.
"Let go then, ANIMAL he replied. in
tones of disgust. Eve have reach the
shore"
Octave climbed aboard went for
ward and looked over the bow. The
boat lay quietly against the banks.
The absurdity of the situation at last
dawned upon him, and it affected him
more deeply than all the discourage
msnt of his attempts to make Fox
river navigable stream.
Slowly he set himself to the task of
repairing the engine. Neither he nor
Budreau spoke word. They padded
back to the bank, and never more was

Murderer Painter Offers TO Submit 10 II in
the Hope OF Escaping.

been announced today by wife murderer
George Painter as the method by which
he expects TO escape the gallows, not.
withstanding the supreme court has
just affirmed his sentence. lie says he
thinks that hypnotism will help him to
n pardon by the governor. This is how
he reasons it utand pretty much in his
own words:
"Ies, sir; a man in n hypnotic state
must tell the truth; he must act just
like he did on the night or the day they
are questioning h-l about. Now, |
offer myself To be hypnotized. ! am
not afraid of the truth. And | tell you
the truth will come out If the man
who has it is put in n hypnotic state.
II was done long ago in San Francisco.
and ia france a commission appointed
by the government, after examining
the matter fully, recommended that
~hypnotism be made u part of the ma-
chinery Of Justice. And look at Judge
Daily of New York. Did not he read a
paper before one of the congresses at
the art palace in the presence of a num-
Der of scientific men, some of them,
perhaps, the best known in the coun-
try, and did not he urge that n hypnotic
college be established, so that hypnotic
experts might be trained 10 help the
officers of the law? a bill with this
provision was introduced in the last
California legislature, and it has
been proven time and again that a
hypnotic expert can bring out the trnsa
when he operates on a person that is
concealing it. This same thing is done
in lrving's play Of The Bells precisely
as it is done in real life. Why, not
long ago it was tried in 81. Louis,
and | wrote TO the man who was sub
jected TO the hypnotic test and he
wrote me back his experience. 1t was
the same as all the others who tried il.
