"That was only few minutes ago,
Mr.. WILDLY, and it is over two miles.

"Ah, see," said WILDLY; "the time

II understand. Good;by."
"Goodby."
The young man turned and walked
round the bed for another look at
Strong's face. Surely, he thought, that
weird smile and the twinkle in the dead
mans eyes were the most remarkable
things ever connected with murder
case. He could not bear to look at the
face, so he went into his own room. He
wondered what had caused him to over
sleep. He went to his bed and smelt
the pillows to see if he could detect
traces OF chloroform. He had decided
that he could not have been drugged,
when the bell Of a passing car caught
his ear. He knew that the ear had
stopped in front Of the house by the
whirring, chromatic sound as it start
ed on again. Then he heard steps on
the veranda and went to the door,.

CHAPTER III.

As WILDLY assembled the stairs in
the hall, Matthews admitted one of the
undertakers and his assistants and
showed them into Strong's room.
WILDLY went into the bedroom above,
closed the door, threw himself on a
lounge, and shut his eyes. In few min
utes he began to feel less nervous. A
restful sensation stole over him, and he
felt sleepy. Suddenly his mind re-
verted to what seemed vague dream of
the night before. Was it q dream, or
could it have been reality? He sprang
up, quivering all over with excitement,
but the more he thought of it the more
the memory evaded him, till in despera-
ton he sat down on the lounge and
buried his face in his hands. just then
he heard astep in the hall, and some one
raped on his door.
He rose md went to the door. TWAS

In moment Cot. Warrenton entered.
He was short, middle-aged man, with
a red face and iron-gray hair. He put
his silk hat on table and gave WILDLY

why She Liked Hypnotism,

A young woman from Washington
has discovered a practical use for hyp-
notism and declares that at last she sees
its value. She was visiting young
artist, who, with her chaperon, observes
all the proprieties, in studio up town
in New York city. The Washington
young woman was called on BY. her
physician, who happens to be skilled in
the ways and wiles Of hypnotism. The
chaperon was eager, as many women
seem to be, to be hypnotized when the
conversation turned on that subject and
the DOCTORS skill with the art.
The doctor was trifle chary about
showing his powers. but the two
younger women begged him to crafty

eron smiled to herself and dubbed
with delight when the doctor finally
consented to experiment. on her. IN is
minutes it was the turn Of the two girls
to bubble with satisfaction. Under the
doctors persuasive power the chaperon
was lost to the world and all but the

ton girl. :. Here at last is practical use
for hypnotism. Anything that can put

Manly Hardy writes to The Forest
and Stream about bears that migrated:
The first notice Of these migrations
is to be found in book by John jesse
Ign, entitled New England Rareties
Discovered, published in 1873. IN this
book he says that great companies O.
bears sometimes travelled across what is
probably the Piscataqua river.
About 20 years ago, early in Septem-
Der, my father one night witnessed q
bear migration. The night was dark
one The bears came to the east bank
Of the Penobscot river in the town Of
Orrington, about seven miles below Ban
gor. The bears could be heard calling
and answering each other till low water,
when they took to the water, SWAN
across and landed on the Hampden side.
In the morning it was found that Q
large number had crossed. My father
saw their tracks across single plank
in shipyard.
"Again, about 80 years ago, friend
Of mine, Henry Clapp, who is quoted in
Casinos Standard Natural History as
an authority on bears, told me that dur
ing the fall he had gone on trapping
trip, but had found few hears, till one
morning in November after snowfall
he found the tracks of nine different
bears, all headed up one little valley.
For several days after that more bear
tracks were found, all headed in the
same direction-from east to west. They
denned up when it came time to do SO,
and in the spring headed east again.
It is believed among sportsmen that
bears go back into the woods to den up
and come to the vicinity Of the clear
ings every spring, but extensive migra-
tions by bears are as little heard Of as
those Of wild turkeys. and prairie chick
! ems. What naturalists do not understand
is how the animals, which usually scat
ter over miles of territory, know how,
when or where to get together for their
| trims. - a..

Genghis Khan's DOminions.

Mrs. Mary Shears Roberts, in her Sc
ries Of "Historic Dwarfs'' in St. Mich
olas, writes of Casan, who was in the
service of Genghis Khan. Mrs. Roberts
says:
After the great Monaghan had con-
quered China, Persia and all central
Asia his empire became one of the most
formidable ever established. It extend
ed from the Pacific ocean on the east to
the river Dnieper in European Russia
and was wider realm than Egyptian,
Greek or Roman conqueror ever knew.
The kings Of Armenia and Georgia, the
emirs of Persia, the grand dukes of Rus
STA and numerous other potentates were
compelled to pay tribute to Genghis
Khan, and they were all obliged to
make the long journey to Karakorum in
person or by their representatives.
This town, the capital of the largest
empire that ever existed, was little
more than city of tents. It afterward
became the residence Of the famous
Kublai Khan, as Marco Polo tells us,
but every vestige of it has disappeared.
Genghis Khan at last retired from
active service to lead quiet life in the
enjoyment of the wealth he had &C.
CURED at the expense Of 80 much toll
and blood. The numerous khans and
generals were commanded to return,
and they came back incumbered with
the spoils Of war. They all assembled
on vast plain some 30 miles in extent,
and, according to one historian, even
this great field could scarcely contain
all the tents Of the countless hosts. The
emperor's quarters alone were six miles
around. An enormous white tent capa-
