ence, writhing under my hand, while
the perspiration stood out in beads
upon his face. l, for my part, was now
fully absorbed in my effort and labored
with all my force to subdue him. At
last the answer came, but in q way
that showed that he had in part es-
capped me and that his brain was act

impulse.
How can I tell what saw? 1t was
trees and flowers and gold fruit. and
all hazy with summer and birds and
butterflies and bright light"
Did you go among the trees?'
His voice rose to a shrek, as 1t had
once before, and he cried out:
Go among them, man! 1t was Para
dise-Eden! The tree O. life-was there
and tn angel with the famin sword
Do We see the mark on me brow? That's
where he smOte me when l tried to go
in-for l didn't care if / lived or not;
an then the Harpoons men picked me
up-an' they say as how it was down
the east coast, which l don't rightly

'Eden-at the north pole?" l ejacu-

insanity theory.

The last words came out in yell
that rang through the infirmary from
foundation to roof. AS nearly as l can
tell you, what happened was this-and
it happened all at once. ! felt a pain as
of fire shoot through the hand that lay
upon the mans forehead. Instructive

moment and as the thrilling cry burst
from his lips. he bounded upright in
the bed and then fell backward.
The agony in my hand passed as
quickly as it had come, and turned at
once to my patient
He was stone dead, while across his
brow from temple to temple the healed
scar was again gaping wound such
as might have been made by the stroke
