Suddenly he lowered his head, like
bucking broncho, resting most of his
weight on his fore legs. This gave me
my chance. He had broken free from the
carriage, and the dropping of his head
allowed me to leap to the ground beside
him. I retained my grip, and the next
instant the fierce horse was flung vio-
lently on his side. l used none Of the
tricks Of the cayalryman or circus per-

He was not yet conquered With

at the moment he was ready to attack

must have ratified every bone in his

stantly repeated the effort, but was
flung as ignominiously as before.
This scared him. His self confidence
was weakened. No animal Is quicker
than horse to recognize his master.
He required little urging to regain his

a-tremble, and finally opened his mouth
and made savage bite at me. His
teeth had hardly snapped together, close
to my face, when struck him single
blow alongside his head which tum-
bled him like log to the earth.
That was enough. He refused to rise,
and lifted him to bis feet. He shivered
from nose to fetlock and was as docile
as lamb. patched up the harness as
best could, refastened him between
the wrenched shafts, and he trotted
meekly homeward.

CHAPTER II.
MY DOUBLE.

Perhaps Professor Gorgensen was
right in declaring himself a second Sol
ONION, whose life would have repeated
precisely that Of tho Biblical one but
for his nineteenth century environments
One amazing fact, however, was un-
questionable. He was correct as TO my
self. My strength was as prodigious, as
marvellous, as irresistible as that Of the
man who, many centuries ago, slew
1000 with the jawbone Of an ass and
pulled down the gates Of GAIA after
suffering woeful indignities at the hands
Of the Philistines and dying amid the
ruins. the blind victim Of the faithless
Delilah.
My mother was the only one who
suspected the truth, for I was handicap
ped by the warning Of the professor,
that I must not call the gift into use e1-
cept IN the event Of necessity. .,

mates I sometimes suffered them 10

hand, and the thin, cold, clawlike fin
gers rested on my crown. Staring
straight into my eyes, he turned my
head back and forth, first to the right
and then to the left, while my body re.
manned motionless While doing SO he
muttered something which must have
been in foreign language, for could
not catch the meaning Of aword. I was
too young TO suspect it at the time, but
those tiny, penetrating eyes noted every
thing. My soft, dark, curly hair, my
strong, regular teeth, my clear COM
| plexion, slightly freckled, the shape Of
/ my face, the features, all were observed
with the keenest possible scrutiny.
Then he pinched my arms and legs,
doing SO with a persistency that caused
me more than one twinge of pain.
"Now you may take your seat"
The big chair creaked round On its
pivot, and the professor faced his vast
desk, covered with huge volumes, whose
backs were worm eaten and whose pages
were yellow with time. He took down
the middle volume and opened and
fumbled it for few minutes. saw
his gaunt forefnger running along the
lines and down the page, while the
scrawny neck and bent shoulders stopped
forward as he peered at the written
words before him.
Suddenly the claw stopped. He had
found the right place. could see his
lips moving, as some persons do when
reading to themselves My mother and
l silently watched him, afraid to speak.
I stealthily sought her hand and slipped
mine within it. The warm, hard fingers
closed affectionately over the chubby
ones Of her only son, as if she would
shield him from some vague, shadowy
peril.
Finally the professor slid each hand,
palm upward, underneath the covers Of
the open volume and with quick flirt
closed it. wheeling on the instant so as
to face us.
II found it," he said, shutting those
thin lips together as if to imprison the
all important knowledge.
"And who is he?"
Before answering your question"
he said impressively, punctuating each
sentence with dip of his forefnger,
"let me warn you, young man, to keep
this knowledge secret so far as you
possibly can. You are going to have, if
you have it not already, q most remark
able gift, but you must not exercise it
except in case Of necessity. If you do, it
will probably pass from you. Mrs. West
colt, when you go home, you will read
the thirteenth chapter of Judges, and
in the twenty fourth verse you will find
statement of the birth Of a man Of
whom your son is to be the exact repro
duction. All that is known Of that IA
nous character is told in the following
three chapters. That's ALL Good day"
Notwithstanding my mothers ankle
ty to learn my horoscope, as it may be
considered, she first sought out the refer
ence which bore upon Professor Gorgen-
sen himself. I think she suspected it,
for she was smiling when she glanced
down the page of the we'll thumbed BIZ
BILE to the verse the professor had named
and which told of the birth of Solomon,
the son of David
Then she hunted out my own in the
second book of Samuel.
In me was born once moro Samson,
the strongest man that ever lived.
