The next morning after the sensation
atMayor Roundtree's, Warrenton called
On WILDLY.
WELL" he began. cordially, as his
friend motioned him to a seat in the
library and stepped back to close the
door, you've read about the shooting
at the mayors That ought to make
you feel better: it is additional proof
that you are not the man."

South American Locusts.

American farmers who have consid-
cred the potato bug pest a great calam-
ity may view their lot with equanimity
as compared with the troubles of their
brethren in Argentine and Uruguay
arising from the locust pest. To give
an idea of the vast number of locusts
that have played havoc with the grain

streams have been almost completely

lie did not mention it,
HE never mentions anything. He
has been discharged from more than
one case for looking like an idiot, but
that's part of his method. He knows
what he is doing"
There was a short silence then.
WILDLY and Warrenton could see that
the hypnotist was deeply engaged in
thought. Presently he said bcusquely:
I'll have to see you again tomorrow,
Or next day, Mr.. WILDLY. I can do
nothing now. Will you come with me
to my hotel, colonel? want to consult
lou on point of law before we go any
further. I think it will be necessary,
Mr.. WILDLY, for you to get a good
nights rest before we do anything.
Where do YOU sleep?'
Last night l began occupying my
old room just across the hall,'' replied
WILDLY. Il was sleeping there when
the crime was committed, and I have
had an aversion to it ever since; but I
was glad to find that I slept better there
last night than l had upstairs in an
o-her ROOM"
You naturally would, and you were
wise to move back. If you go to bed
with the idea that you are doing even I
slight thing for self-protection, the
thought will haunt you in your sleep.

Such things belong to a wonderful
science that all people ought to know.
Where was the chair standing that
night, as near as you can remember?''
Exactly there" And WILDLY placed
the chair within Il few feet of the bed.
"Ah, yes" said the hypnotist. Il

MAKING GOLD BRICKS

The bulk of the gold brought down By

BILE amount of it found its way into COM

the process of melting down into bars
and its purchase by the banks. All dav

and the process was as simple as that
of the same apple alton to running off
lot of plowshares or firebacks for
stoves. only infinitely more interesting.
The casting was done in the shops
fronting on Cherry street. and during
the day about $4,000 was handled. In
the Second avenue window of the con-
Germ was pan containing 900 worth
of dust and nuggets. and a curious
crowd pressed around the yellow dis
play until it was finally removed, to be
converted into bright lump about nine
or ten inches long. three-eighths of an
inch thick and three inches wide. These
pieces We're worth S1.7OO each.
The room where all this casting was
done was blisteringly hot. It was above
the main floor of the wholesale depart
ment. The floor is covered with iron.
Along the sides are canopies of iron that
look like the tops of bakers ovens.
These canopies may be closed in front
and rest Oh platforms of iron in which
are countersunk the places for the re-
ception of the crucibles. The fuel is

mold is lifted into pan standing on

brought into requisition and the cruci-

lip of red metal protrudes itself, and
from under it, in thin, white stream,
runs the gold into the iron mold.
A thick cloud of vapor arises from the
