The madame did not dwell on the
possibility of her victim being disap-

the money would be refunded.

My curiosity was not proof against
this invitation, and, with madame i'll

apartment above. Madame entered
first and in her sweetest tone inquired
how the patient was feeling. A low
murmur came in response. She then
returned to the door and beckoned to

was speedily followed by feeling of
intense pity. What truly pathetic
sight this poor, bent old creature, sit
ting motionless as a statue in the CEN
ter of the room, her entire face and
neck covered with a yellow, oily,
transparent plaster, imperfectly con-
cealing the sore flesh beneath, of the
color and consistency Of a raw beef
steak, sitting there for hours, for days
and for weeks, suffering tortures in
the vain hope that her youthful beauty
would be restored to her and that she
would be able to command attention, if
not adulation. as Of yore. Every
breath, every wink, every twitch of the
facial muscles meant agony indescrib-

and in patience, awaiting the day Of
her deliYerance.
When we returned to the parlor

highly elated at her supposed success
in impressing her visitOrs-in one sense
she was not mistaken-proceeded to
describe it In detail. She led us into
her torture chamber in the rear, and
displayed her various instruments.
She called in her servant girl and made
her act as a dummy patient, in order
to fully illustrate her methods. The

Twenty years ago or more an Eng

fered through the medium of advertise
ments in the London papers to restore
The bloom Of youth to the aged and in
firm and to render them beautiful for
ever" These words quickly became u
catch phrase and brought hundreds Of
willing dupes to her door. She treated
them with a harmless docoction con-
tanning alleged water from the river
Jordon and received in return heavy
payments in currency of the realm.
In the end a victim who had been
mulcted to the tune of several hundred
pounds without experiencing any ap-
preciable benefit therefrom, appealed to
the authorities for redress, and after
due process of law Nine. Rachel found
herself an inmate of Pentonville prison
on five years term for false pre-
tcnses.
So lucrative had been the imposture,
however, that upon her release she
promptly recommended operations on d

she died.

Yes. The ease with (which the last
revolt was put down showed the royal L..

The interview ended with this state

an abominable swindle. The so-called

latanism from beginning to end. The
operator goes at her victim in a hap
