came to the Sturtovant House with an
air of Importance he only preparation
was the providing OF a board. Ii has
been explained that Mrs Abbott cannot
work on carpet, on metals or any good
conductor. She must be in measure
insulated That furnished by wood il
sufficient
Mrs. Abbott stood on the carpet al first
and told Sandow TO lift her up. lie
grasped her about the waist aud in
second she shot up in the air il she
had been sent from cannon. She flew
out of his hands aud he caught her as she
came down.

.'Wait until l step upon the board,
said Mrs. Abbott, laughingly. Then
she stepped upon the board san
dow. placed his hands about her
slender waist He bent his knees, and
held his arms close TO his sides. lie be-
gan to lift gradually. Mrs. Abbott did
not bulge. Gradually the man increased
his power. She was as immovable as an
anchored column. Then the strongest
man on earth, the man whose superb
muscular development has made him
one of the most talked about men OF his
time, exerted all his force. The slender
little 9S-pound woman didn't move an
inch.
Then Sandow took off his coat and
tried it with the same result Then they
tried an experiment with stick It was
part of pole such as portieres are hung
on. Mrs Abbott held the pole
perpendicularly, lightly between
her fingers and told Sandow TO
try and force il down. lie did his level
best but il would not 60. 1t seemed
that anyone would have strength enough
to force it from Mrs. Abbott's light grasp,
but no person has apparently. for san
dow ought to be able 10 do it if anyone
can. and it was an impossibility for him,
he frankly confessed after he had
perspired deal in attempting it.
Neither could he take the stick from
her when she held it horizontally.
Sandow was simply pa-alyzed with
wonder. Lifting is his point lie said
frankly that so long Mrs abbott WAS
