When the baron came to his senses and found his head resting against the knee of my lady, who was bathing a gaping wound as she gave directions to some women concerning the prepara- ton of bandages, his face was a study

 Sorry the baron harbors feelings of contempt toward her 1adyship, He made fun of her to-day while she was standing at the window; said 1t made him feel sad to gaze on the wreck of an old female"
 The keepers wife treated her to cakes and ale and summoned her ladyship's g maid. After some prefacing and as- surances of regret and indignation she informed Elizabeth:
 And quoth the baron, there she stands, gazing down on me! How l pity her, poor decrepit ancient fe- maIe!'"
 Elizabeth reddened her face by ween. ing, an art in which long practice bs il made her proficient, and on being asked the cause long refused to reveal if. Al last, when the lady impatientlv threat. ened bodily reinstatement, she burst o,i with the terrible story:

FIGEL'S CASE
Some Testimony Given in Favor Of
Defendant

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 24-When the
Figel examination was resumed today
DR.. Edward Bunnell related in detail the
result of certain experiments which he
had made at the request of the defense
during the past few weeks with pistol
upon a cadaver. He maintained that
the experiments only served to strength
en- his opinion formed at the time of the
examination of Issac Hoffman's wounds
before he died, that they were self-in-
flicted.
DIR. r. E. Williams, who was for two
years police surgeon, detailed at length
the manner in which the experiments IS
at the Toland medical college had been
conducted and the results obtained. He
was asked If in his opinion man who
had received bullet in the head at the
point where Hoffman was shot would
be able to shoot himself again.
"I think So" was the reply. "Such
a wound as that would not necessarily
rob a man of consciousness or the pow
er of physical action. In my opinion
Hoffman could have inflicted either or
both of the wounds and still have re-
tanned control of his powers of locomo-
ton to get from one room to the room
adjoining"

HIS HYPNOTIC SLEEP
PROOF AGAINST POLICEMEN'S
PINCHES
Chicago officers Decide That no More
Mesmeric Exhibitions Shall Be
Permitted

CHICAGO, August 24.-The Chicago
police force has pitted it's strength
against the power of hypnotism, and
the result may be termed draw. Chief
Ripley and his men, acting as they said,
in the interests of humanity, sought to
prevent an exhibition of a seven-days
hypnotic sleep given at North Side
hall and succeeded, but not until they
had called upon the professor" to re-
lease the subject from his mesmeric in
fluence. ---...-.---,--
The subject was Samuel Berg. young
Danish barber. Berg was put to sleep
Sunday afternoon with the regulation
passes, and it was announced that he
would sleep seven days and nights.
Chief Ripley sent two detectives to
make a report on the exhibition. The
sleuths found young Berg asleep in the
presence of crowd which included sew
eral physicians, who explained to the
detectives that they were studying the
effect of the prolonged hypnotic sleep on
the subject. The physicians were taking
the affair seriously and said Berg was
completely under hypnotic influence.
The detectives were skeptical and pro-
ceeded to apply such gentle tests as pull
ing his ear, pinching the cheeks and
tugging at his hair. But Berg did not
stir. The detectives reported to Chief
Kipley who decided to stop the exhibit
ton, and sent a detail of officers for
that purpose Lieut.. Zery, who had
charge of the expedition, gave Berg a
rap on the sole of the shoe with his club
but the usual treatment applied by po-
licemen to rouse sleepers was not ef-
fective. Then the officers proceeded to
shake Berg and pinch his ears and slap
his cheeks. But to no avail. Then he
tried a trick that was never known to
fail He thrust his brawny thumb up
under the arm-pit and gave a series of
hearty pinches. But the motionless form
gave no signs of life. All this time the
professor was lowering eXcitedly about
and protesting that the great hypnotic
test was being held solely in the inter
ests of science and that its results were
being anxiously watched by physicians
and ychologists from California to
Maine. The lieutenant cut him short
by saying: 1.-THE chief says this exhi-
bition has got to stop. 1 can't wake the
boy up, and you've got to or I'll have
to arrest the whole outfit"
Then with a few mysterious passe IS
and snap of the finger the mesmerist
released the subject and the two pro-
ceeded to Chief Kipely's office to pro-
test against the interruption of their ex-
hibition.
In speaking of the matter Chief Kip
!, i
the case I considered ii my duty to stop
the exhibition for the sake of humanity.
There is no telling but that the test
might have resulted in the boys death.
There is no doubt but that the boy was
in genuine hypnotic sleep. If he had
died as a result of the test 1 would have
been blamed for allowing the exhibition
to take place. In the future no permits
for exhibitions of the kind will be
granted"
