CHAPTER I.
It had been considered a fine house in
1892 when it was finished ready for &C.
cupancy. 1t was built Of brownstone,
1t was large and commodious. it was
strictly modern, and it was surrounded
by handsome grounds. It was owned
by Harlow Winthrop, the wealthiest
man in the city. Winthrop was q man
who always desired to be identified with
everything new, hoping that il might
prove to be the avenue down which his
name would travel to posterity. He was
not contented simply to be rich. He
had fine wife and as nice family of
children as man need wish for, and one
of the children, his irstborn, was said
to be as much like his father as half
grown English pea is like the matured
specimen. This son was named Harold.
The family moved into the new house
on the third day of October, 1899, and
two weeks later grand housewarming
was given by their friends and neigh
bors. 1t was at this housewarming that
Papa>Winthrop decided to entertain his
guests by an exhibition of his knowledge
Of hypnotism, which was at that time
subject beginning to attract attention
among ordinary people.
Winthrop had taken to it with the
eagerness and enthusiasm which he had
always shown for speculative topics
and for weeks had beeu practicin1 on

oyri3 ouc wnuu ne couiO coax, hire or
command to submit themselves to his
powers. His son Harold was proved to
be the most satisfactory subject and
therefore afforded his father more pleas
IRE than he had since his birth, 90 years
before the new house was built. On the
evening of the housewarming he came
forward obediently at the call Of his IA
Their and seated himself In an armchair
in full view of the assembled guests.
Now" said MI Winthrop, who was
pleased beyond measure to have SO large
an audience. "now am going to put
Harold to sleep for certain length of
time, at the expiration of which he will
awaken without assistance, but previous
to that time no one can arouse him."
Harold began to stare at the shining
stopper of glass bottle placed between
himself and the light, while Mr.. Win
throp pressed firmly on certain spot on
the top of his sons head.
How long shall he sleep?" asked
Mr.. Winthrop when Harold began to
appear drowsy.
Until II O'clock" suggested the
! miscellaneous son of the wealthiest fam
lily present.
Harold stirred as if to protest, but
was too sleepy to speak.
Yes, make it H." echoed the moth
er of the miscellaneous son, not because
she cared, but because she always made
it point to insist OH the qualification
of her sons wishes SO long as they did
not conflict with her own. The son
knew that Lefty Mays must return to
her home at half past 10, and that Har-
old Winthrop expected to accompany
her. The recollection of that expecta-
ton stirred Harold's drowsy brain and
prevented him from submitting to his
fathers hypnotic power with his usual
passivity. It is possible that that is the
reason why the exhibition did not ter
inmate according to expectation. There
were many reasons given during the
years which followed. for at last Mr..
Winthrop had succeeded in finding the
coveted fame. It was said in those days
and has been argued since that the oper-
ator in hypnotism must have full conf
dence in his own power in order to be en-
tirely successful and the elder Winthrop
was certainly not lacking in that re-
spect. He had put Harold to sleep too
many times to have any doubts as to his
awakening at the appointed time. 1t
was afterward decided that in order to
have a successful exhibition it was also
necessary that the one who acted as the
subject to be operated upon should be
free from troubled thoughts when he sat

Five years from the GATE Oh Lne noase,-
warming Mr.. Winthrop died, leaving
will so drawn that the bulk Of his for
tune should be held in trust for Harold,
the interest to be enjoyed by those who
had the care of him.
After the death of Mrs. Winthrop
Harold was given into the care of James.
the second son. Thirty-f years later
James died, and the fine old home passed
into the hands of Henry, who agreed to
care for his Uncle Harold to the best of
his ability.
Harold still slept. AS he needed little
more care than the furniture in an un-
used room, Henry felt that it was as easy
a way of earning livelihood as he
! should be likely to find. He was forced
to own, however, after few years ex-
perience that they were wiser who pre-
ferred life away from the shadow cast
by an uncle who, although not dead,
might better have been.
No servant who had heard of the
sleeper usually spoken in a whisper
by that class-could be induced to enter

down. Every one said that such con-
clusion was proved by the result of Mr..
Winthrop's experiment and gave so
many reasons why this should be thus
that any one who dared acknowledge
not having thought of it long before the
night OF the housewarming was looked
upon az an ignoramus. The rich young
man was severely condemned for hav-
ing suggested the hour Of / / as that on
which the awakening was to take place,
and there were many who went 50 far
as to say that he hoped thereby to win
Lefty Mays himself.
Harold slept we'll, and the guests
amused themselves by trying in various
ways to arouse him, but all their efforts
were in vain. Pretty Lefty Mays, who
did not believe he really slept, but
thought he had learned to control his
features wonderfully we'll, crept to his
side when the attention of the guests
was drawn to another part of the room
and whispered in his ear that it was
nearly time for her to go. Harold did
not stir.
This is nonsense, Harold" she then
whispered petulantly. II know you are
fejgning just as we'll as you know it.
If you do not arouse yourself this min
ute, I shall think it is because you care
more for your fathers folly than for my
wishes.
Harold remained motionless, and
Lefty hurried into the dressing room,
found her wraps. and disappearing
through side door went home unat-
tended before any one could guess her
intention.
Before she went to sleep that night
she wrote curt note to Harold, releas-
ing him from their engagement and In
forming him that q messenger would
take to him the next day all the books
and trinkets which he had given her.
But before the things were packed she
learned that Harold had not yet awak-
ened. although he had slept for nearly
30 hours, and that the family physician
had been called. The physician tried
various remedies, none of which proved
useful, said he could have done more
had he been called earlier, charged a
fee large enough to support his entire
family for month and went home feel
ing that no man could have acted with
greater credit to himself or with greater
profit either, for that matter.
Hours heightened into days, days be-
came weeks and weeks months, yet
Harold Winthrop slept. The elder Win
throp grew thin and white with worry;
Mrs. Winthrop became silently accusing
and refused to kiss her husband until
their son should he himself again; the
younger mem bers of the family lost the
joy of youth in the heavy cloud which
hung over the household; the servants
would not pass at night the door Of the
silent room where their young master
