This was said In strangely mechanical


manner, and Granton Immediately depart
I'd, although Bradthurst, apparently pain
cd and filled with CONSERVATION, tried to
prevent him by gentle means
The emotions Of the young lady can bet
ter be imagined than described. Brad.
thurst explained the real object Of their
call, protesting utter amazement at the
strange words Of his comrade.
From that time Walter Granton acted In
the most singular and erratio manner, and
his peculiar behavior soon attracted uni
versal attention. He grew worse and
worse, and In less than three weeks no was
examined by medical experts, pronounced
insane and incaroerated in an asylum for
the deranged.
With clear field, 1t seemed that 1t
would be an easy matter for Cyril Brad
thurst to win Iva Lswton, but 1t did not
prove so. The girl retired from society,
gave up I'LL her former pleasures and lived
q life Of seclusion. All efforts to cheer her
and bring her back to her old ways were
fruitless.
She seemed to entertain a positive dread
OF Cyril Bradthurst, and he soon found 1t
impossible to obtain q word with her.
Bradthurst regularly visited his former
friend In the asylum, and 1t was soon noted
Granton was slightly worse after these
visits. He would sometimes recover and
seem natural and sane for day or two,
but with the appearance Of Bradthurst he
had relapse
For long time Bradthurst continued to
hope he would finally succeed In winning
Iva Lawton. but ut length, driven to des-
perate measures by his inability to see her
face to face, he proposed by letter. Her re-
ply utterly crushed his hopes, and he took
to drinking again.
Within week terrible accident shock
cd Bradthurst's friends. While on his way
TO New York the young man fell in some
mysterious manner from the express train
and was fatally injured. Ere no died he
made remarkable and astonishing con-
fession.
In this confession he declared Walter
Granton was not insane at all, but was in
q mesmerio trance Bradthurst possessed
the power Of mesinerism, OF which no had
not been conscious until the day he de.
manded that Granton should accompany
him to call on the girl they both loved.
Then he found he could control his friend
fully by looking deep into his eyes and sug-
costing words and actions. A sort of mys-
terious telegraphy was established between
them, and Granton acted and spoke as
Bradthurst desired.
By causing Granton to do strange and
unnatural things Bradthurst had succeed
cd In having him removed to an asylum as
ono deranged.
The story was generally discredited by
the public, but 1t was noted that from the
hour Bradthurst drew his last breath Gran.
ton appeared once more sane man. In
short time no was released from tho asylum
as "oured, and today no IL prosperous
business man In San Francisco.

loved him even though she had heard him
declare himself unworthy of her,-EI-
