DO you not see a woman?" asked the
doctor. Look well. There is a woman
you must see her."
| they will look for my father. There is the
sound Of the Jrain--there are more men
coming" Her face assumed a painful
| immoDility. She gasped, threw up her
arms, uttered shrek and Tell 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 ne worked with re-
storatives over her. Hendricks walked up
and down in the arena and waited.
At last the doctor appeared. I've 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 impatiently.
My dear sir" said the doctor, Il don I
know what to make of 1t. But / am bound
to tell you that these extraordinary crea-
lures not only have clear sight but at times
prescience. 1t may be thai she saw and
described something that has not yet taken
place. The great Zchokke often did it 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 happen
ing at present; that ought to be a much
easier matter. The hair trick did not
work"

errible explosion"
Finding that there was no moving the
ioctor from his decision, Hendricks, with
his usual tact. Immediately turned his
mind to other matters.
Close confinement underground was tell
ing upon all the inmates and even upon
! Hendricks himself He noticed That the
long deprivation of sunlight made every
body gloomy and doubtful. Up to within a
week his men had all taken regular turns
In the air. In this respect they had moth
ing to complain of. They had gone out AT
the western exit in groups-had hunted
and fshed 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 be-
hind, although made up OF the workmen
and help of the establishment, were be-
coming FESTIVE under the restraint. In
spite of the fact that the ventilation had
been improved very much and the varia-
tionS of temperature were scarcely ap-
probable in the rotunda, which was not
only the most spacious, but the most en-
joyable part of the Laran, the doctor found
that he was encountering a new group of
complaints, and he had the good sense to
attribute them to the condition of confine-
ment.
The day after the failure of the doctor s
experiment with Miss Endicott, the gen.
eral, who had been away on a mission of

urgency of events were made apparent by
the generals words at its close.
