Baird was held to the spot, and, standing
there, he consciously began to search for
meaning in this weird concourse of owls
of owls eyes rather. 1t struck him that
there was a kind of intelligence in the
glowing orbs. There were some that were
red, like burning Goals, with malevoient
Solemnity in them. There were others that
had the serene yellowness of an autumn
moon. There were some that had in their
depths the fiery salmon of an angry sun
set, and others that shone in milder hues.
with only an imperturbable, Quizzical ex-
preston. II was all very strange and
weird, and entertaining in a terrifying
hypnotic sort of way, and Baird might
nave stayed there a long time had his
growing terror not been given comple-
ton.
Something-it was neither sound nor feel
ing-something drew him to turn his head
and he saw pair of the eyes at his very
ear. They were different from the Others
They were large-extremely large and
black-black as carbon, but luminous and
bright, and they had a look in their illum-
ination that went in a flash to the very
tips of Baird's toes and fingers.
Baird put his hands to his face and f1ed.
Somehow he got out and tumbled in a heaD
upon the ground. When he awoke the
moon was shining upon him and he Won

a MAGNETIC BOY.
Singular ManifestatiOn of n Myster-
riOus Power at Newman.


From the Newman (Ga.) Herald and Ad-
vertiser:
The good people residing in the
vicinity of Roscoe are much excited over
the remarkable manifestation Of strange
power of a 13-year-old boy, named VIII
lam Thomas. who lives with his grand
mother about three miles east of Roscoe,
on the road leading to Palmetto. On We'd
nesday night of last week the little fellow
sought his couch at he usual hour for re-
tiflng, but Just as he was dropping on to
sleep he was aroused by a violent shaking
OF the bed. Thoroughly startled by the
strange sensation, he sat up and endeav-
ored 10 acertain the cause of the commo-
ton. That the disturbance was not due to
human agency was apparent, and, calling
10 the other members Of the family, he ex-
citedly told what had occurred. They were
increduous at first and induced him to
return TO his bed. In a short time the
singular manifestation were repeated, and
with more violence than before. The house
nold was IN a state of panic and alarm. 1t
became evident that some unseen force
was at work, the uncanny demonstrations
ceasing only when the little fellow would
get up and leave the bed.
me next night the bedStead rolled and
pltched from one side Of the room to the
other, the combined efforts of three or four
stout men being unable to hold 1t in place.
On Friday night the castors were taken
on and several chairs propped against It

stretched himself out on the mattress the
bedstead again commenced qualSing and
swaying and finally overturned the chairs
and swept out into the middle of the
room.
Each night for more than week this
strange performance has been repeated,
and the mystery is yet unsolved. Dr.
Hood, of Roscoe, has been called in, and
Is making careful study of the case. He
has visited the boy twice Upon each ex-
animation he found traces of fever and
evidences of nervous exhaustion. Wheth-

The brave sentence was not finished be-
cause, with his first step forward, another
pair of duh red Goals confronted him. AS
Baird gazed with mingled feelings OF as
constituent and curiosity he perceived an
other pair of burning orbs protruding
from the blackness of the cavern, and he
began to feel a queer sensation. He rub
bed his eyes; he thought he must be see
ing double and more than double, for
there before him and above him and on
either side the darkness was popping full
of eyes-staring, fixed, unblinlcing eyes.
There were hundreds of them. At first,
when his fright had given place to
curiosity Baird tried to count them, but
gave up the task. There were rows and
tiers and solid banks and long vistas of
eyes, filling the forest with their gleafn-
ing and-or was it merely a fancy of
Baird's-charging the darkness with a
faint phosphorescent light. So luminous
and steadfaSt were the eyes that Baird
began to feel that he was the subject of
some outlandish inquisitory proceeding.
Chill things began to creep up his back,
his legs shook just a little, and from
somewhere a. cold draught of wind touch
ed him with its damp caress.
The situation was growing unpleasant.
There was not a sound except the noise
the eyes were making, for ii had at length
