tened one end of rubber pipe The
other end was finished with silver de-
vice shaped like the mouthpiece OF a
speaking tube. This he firmly pressed
over the Englishman's heart. Thorn
dyke WINGED and bit his lip, for the
strange thing took hold of his flesh with
the tenacity of powerful suction
pump.
"Ouchr' he exclaimed playfully, but
Johnston saw that he had turned pale
and that his face was drawn as II from
pain.
Hold still" ordered the medical
man. 1T will be over in minute.
Now be perfectly quiet and listen to the
bell. :"
The Englishman stood motionless,
the sinews of his neck drawn and knot
ted, his eyes starting from their sock
cts. Thorndyke felt the rubber tube
culver suddenly and writhe with the
slow energy of dying snake, and then
from the quivering bell came low,
gurgling sound like stream of water
being forced backward and forward.
Tradmos and the medical man STEP
ped to the bell and inspected "A small
dial Oh its top.
"What was that?" gasped the Eng
lishman, purple in the face.
1.-THE sound of your blood, answer
ed Tradmos as he removed the instru-
ment from Thorndyke's flesh. 1T is as
regular as mine You are very lucky.
You are slightly fatigued, but you will
be sound in day or two"
"Thank you, replied the English
man, but he sank into chair, over
come with weakness.
"Now, I'll take you, please" said
the medical man, motioning Johnston
TO rise.

the latter as he stood up and awkward
ly fumbled the buttons of his coat.

what is it, Thorndyke? What are
you looking at?" And the American
slowly left the bed and approached his
friend.
Thorndyke only held the curtain
farther back and watched Johnston's
face as he looked through the wide
plate glass window.
MY gracious!" calculated the latter
as he drew nearer. 1t was wondrous
scene. The building in which they were
imprisoned stood on gentle hill clad
in luxuriant, smoothly cut grass and
ornamented with beautiful flowers and
plants, and below lay splendid city
city built on undulating ground, with
innumerable grand structures of white
marble, with turrets, domes and pin
nacles Of gold. Wide streets paved in
polished stone and bordered with lush
green grass interspersed with statues
and beds and mounds of strange plants
and flowers stretched away in front of
them till they were lost in the dim,
misty distance. Parks filed with pa
vilions, pleasure lakes, fountains and
tortuous drives and walks dotted the
landscape in all directions
Thorndyke's breath had clouded the
glass of the window, and he rubbed it
with his handkerchief AS he did so
the sash slowly and without a particle
OF sound slid to one side, disclosing
narrow balcony outside. IL had q grace
full balustrade, made of carved red and
white notified marble, and OH the end
OF the balcony facing the city sat
great gold and silver jug, ten feet high,
OF rare design. The spout was formed
by the body of a dragon with wings ex-
tended. The handle was a serpent with
the extremity of its tail coiled around

ness. 1T has nothing to do with the
| body except to dominate it at times. If
| you pass your examination, you may
| live to overcome it. "
The American looked furtively at
Thorndyke, but the head of the English
man had sunk Oh his breast, and he
seemed to be asleep Johnston had new
| er felt SO lonely and forsaken in his life
From his childhood he had entertained
| secret fear that he had inherited heart
| disease, and, like Maupassant's cow
ard, who committed suicide rather
than meet man in duel, he had tried
in vain to get away from the horrible,
ever present thought by plunging into
perilous adventures
AT that moment he felt that lie would
rather die than know the worst from
the uncanny instrument that had just
tortured his strong comrade till he was
overcome with exhaustion.
Il never felt letter in my life. A." he
said falteringly, but it seemed to him
that every nerve and muscle i'll his
frame was witheiing through fear. His
tongue felt clumsy and thick, and his
knees were quivering as with ague.
Stand still, ordered the physician
sternly, and Johnston was further hu.
inflated by having Tradmos sympathet-
ically catch hold Of his arm to steady
him.
Your people are fan advanced in the
sciences" went on the physician cold
ly, "but there are only few ont Of
their number who know that the mind
governs the body and that fear is its
prime enemy. Five minutes ago you
were eating heartily and had your share
of physical strength, and yet the mere
thought lat you are now to know the
actual condition of your most vital organ
has made you as weak as an infant. If
you kept up this state of mind for a
month, it would kill you.
Nov, listen," he went on as the in
strument griped Johnston's flesh and
the rubber tube began to twist and move
as If charged with electricity. The
American held his breath. A sound as
Of water being forced through chan
nels that were choked, mingled with a
wheeling sound like wind escaping from
a broken bellows, came from the bell.
Your frame is all right" said the
medical man as he released the trem-
bling American, "but you have long be-
lieved in the weakness of your heart,
and it has, on that account, become SO.
You must Danish all fear from your
thoughts. You perhaps know that we
have place specially prepared for those
who are not physically sound. I am
sorry that you do not stand better ex-
animation"
Tradmos regarded the American with
look of sympathy as he gave him
chair and then rang bell on the table.
Thorndyke looked up sleepily as an at.
tendant entered with a couple of parcels
and glanced wonderingly at his friends
white face and bloodshot eyes,
whats the matter?" he asked. Init
Johnston made no reply, for the captain
had opened the parcels and taken out
two suits of silken clothing.
"Put them on" he said, giving suit
OF gray to Johnston and one of light
blue to Thorndyke. 1--WE shall leave Won
to change your attire, and shall soon
come for YOU"
