"They are soldiers. They are run
ming in all directions"
"Yes, yes" said the doctor. "Do you
see any women?"
"Now-they are gone out of the air
It is dark and light. Yes. they come
together. All, it is the fatal place.
There is the rail around it. The ground
shakes. What is that awful throb? 1t
is not pleasant here. l choke. The
light hurts my eyes, but it is dark"
"Do you not see a woman?" asked
the doctor. Look well. There is a
woman-you must see her.
$50 many men," said the girl. Per
haps they will look for my father.
There is the sound of the train-there
are more men coming" Her face as
sumed a painful immobility. She
gasped, threw up her arms, uttered a
shrek and fell forward. The doctor,
who sprang to catch her, found both
her hands over her ears and her arms
were rigid. One of her hands still
clasped the hair and he could not ex-
tricate it from her fingers.
For quite,an hour he worked with
restoratives over her. Hendricks
walked up and down in the arena and
waited.
At last the doctor appeared. "rve
got her around" he said; "but it's the
most extraordinary thing ever heard
of. She is suffering from shock
What do you make of her talk?''
asked Hendricks, somewhat inpatient
ly.

may be that she saw and described
something that has not yet taken
place, The great ZchoBke often did
1t in very much the same way"
THAT may be very interesting to
science" replied Hendricks; but
what we want described is the thing
that is happening at present; that
ought to be much easier matter. The
hair trick did not work"
There is no infallibility about it,
said the doctor. at may work four
times and fail on the fifth"
''Then by all means make the other
four experiments immediately"

"Yes, there is a packet of it. The
hair was cut off when she wore the
light wig
After explanations from Hendricks
of the abduction which elected un.
bounded admiration from the doctor
they proceeded to the rooms that had
been set apart for Miss Endicott.
| Hendricks, it should be stated, had
provided his retreat with several ne
gro servants. They had their own
! quarters and several of them were
women, one of whom had been as
signed to take care of Miss Endicott.
They found the young woman sitting
in chair in a normal condition and
indignant.
You have made me a prisoner again
in this place." she said, land it will
kill me-"
my dear young lady" said the doc
tor, you are not prisoner. In a few
days you will be restored to your
friends, if you have any"

said. HE is the only friend 1 have"
81 have come down to take care of
you. You shall make a confidant of
me. I'm your friend. No one here
has the desire to harm you. We must
find out about your father. l dare say
you have neglected your meal, as
usual
Il cannot eat" she said.
But you know told you that you
must eat. If you do not obey me,
what can do for you?" and the doctor
shrugged his shoulders. A moment
later he said: Here, take my arm
and let us walk about bit You must
keep your blood in circulation"
She let him assist her and passively
rested her arm in his. Then they
walked out into the arena, the doctor
talking to her in fatherly way. 1t
was not more than seventy-five feet to
the house where the dynamo and en-
gine were running. The big door stood
open. There was a common wheel
chair Immediately in front of the door
''Sit down here for moment" said
the doctor, ''and look at the Wheel
She obeyed him. The almost har-
monic buzz of the great iron circle was
not unpleasant. She looked at the
swiftly-revolving mass with slight in
terest. The doctor stepped back and
waited. Hendricks had remained be-
hind. There was something in the
motion that kept her gaze steadily
fixed. Five minutes passed. Her
eyes lost their stare. The doctor
stepped softly up, looked into her
face, picked up her hand and let it fall
limp upon her lap. Then he beckoned
to Hendricks.
Help me wheel her back" he said.
"She is hypnotized. 1 never saw so
fine sensitive"
When she was once more in the room
from which the doctor had taken her,
Hendricks watched the proceedings
with interest, but without the awe
which this phenomenon inspires in
some minds.
Have you got the hair?" asked the |
doctor
Hendricks handed him the packet |
and sat down expectantly. The doc
tor took some of the dark locks and |
put them in the hand of the girl. Her
fingers closed over them. She stared |
into vacancy. Her mouth twitched at |
the corners Her face was rigid.
do you see Mrs. Hendricks?" the
doctor asked
An audible murmur came from the
girl. She leaned slightly forward
'Oh, there are SO many men, she said
a a plaintive monotone.
What are they doing?''

, Impossible. l wouldn't guarantee
her life if she doesn't recover from
the shock. She acts like a creature
who has been in terrible explosion. y
Finding that there was no moving
the doctor from this decision Hen
bricks, with his usual tact, Immediate
ly turned his mind to other matters.
Close confinement underground was
telling upon all the inmates and even
upon Hendricks himself He noticed
that the long deprivation of sunlight
made everybody gloomy and doubtful
Up to within d week his men had all
taken regular turns in the air. In this
respect they had nothing to complain
of. They had gone out at the western
exit in groups-had hunted and tished
and enjoyed themselves and he had
lost none of them. The privilege had
been shut off as soon as the regiment
got away and the one hundred men
left behind, although made up of the
workmen and help of the establish
ment. were becoming restive under the
restraint. In spite of the fact that the
ventilation had been improved very
much and the variations of temperature
were scarcely appreciable in the ro-
tunda, which was not only the most
spacious, but the most enjoyable part
of the Laran, the doctor found that he
was encountering new group of COM
plants and he had the good sense to
attribute them to the condition of con-
| finement.
The day after the failure of the doc
tors experiment with Miss Endicott,
the general, who had been away on a
mission of Importance, suddenly re-
turned. He came in at the bayou en-
trance late at night, but he reported to
Hendricks, who got out of bed and the
two sat in consultation until morning.
Whatever the nature of their confer
ence was, its Importance and the ur-
gency OF events were made apparent
by the generals words at its close.
''We have just three days to get the
rest of our men out-that leaves them
five days to assemble. They must be
in St Mary's on the 5th. You have
no suspicion, have you, that the new
move is known in any way to these
officers above ground?"
Il know absolutely nothing as to
what these men suspect. For some
reason Mrs. Hendricks is reticent. The
only thing to do is to go ahead and dis
regard them. They have got no posse
in the neighborhood, for 1 have been
over the ground"
At this point the doctor came in and
announced that Miss Endicott, who had
not been cut of her bed since the shock,
was in one of her frances and they
might, he thought, renew the expert
ment in guarded way.
Hendricks excused himself to the
general and went to Miss Endicott's
bedside, where, after turning out the
negress, the two men sat down. The
doctor then proceeded as before, and
when the girls eyes were fixed upon
vacancy, he said: Tell me what you
see."
'Yes, 1 will tell you," she replied,
as If in some terror of the doctor.
Let me be sure. 1 see a woman. I
know her. She is standing in the cur
tains at the window-she-yes, she has
the curtain pulled about her-she is

JACKSON, Miss, Feb. 20.-The su-
prone court has denied the motion of
tho attorney general to rcsentence Will
Purvis tho whitecap. who escaped the
death moose by tho bungling job of
Sheriff Mages in Marion county. Til"
supreme conrt stated that it had nothing
whatever to do with the case, and that
it was a matter for the circuit court.
Purvis cannot be resentenced until tho
June term of the circuit court at Co.
lumbia, unless Judge Terrell shall sooner
call special term of court for that pur-
pose. The impression grows stronger
every day that while VIII Purvis was
present when Buckley was assassinated,
his father, Ike Puryis, did the killing,
and that the White Gaps cast lots as to
who should do the bloody work.
It is reported that viii Purvis has
made fuller confession than has boen
published and that great many more
people arc implicated as whitecaps In
Marion county than tho public had sup.
posed. VIII Purvis Is in Jail at Hat.

manufacturing concerns in Massa-

of their business, leads tho Boston
Journal Commerce to comment as
follows.
"Now that tho Dwight company
has joined procession in that di-
rcction, it will not probably be
long before wo hear of other mills
making similar application, as it Is
unquostionably the fact, owing to
natural conditions, that coarse
goods can bo made cheaper in the
South than hero. 1t has bcon owl
don't for some time by some of our
shrewd and far seeing cotton man
ufacturcrs that sooner or latcr this
