Polly nodded her head. A most for

StifIly erect, she walked to the win
dow and looked down. She began to
whistle, then she thrummed against
the window pane with her fingers, then
she was silent. Then she moved out
of my range of vision and for several
minutes | heard her stirring about be-

IN POLLY'S STUDIO.

l had gone arc-nd to Polly's studio
10 ask her to 80 with me to Horizons
freak museum, where, by some mistake
of the management, there was on dis
play a really fine collection of Chinese
curios that had attracted much atten-
ton among the few connoisseurs who
had dared enter the place. But the
door had hardly closed behind me be-
fore we were quarreling about some
thing-I've forgotten what. Five min
utes later Polly was dabbing viciously
at a canvas and l was glazing into
the pages Of a magazine six months
old.
A knock sounded at the door-a de-
cided tap followed by two or three
lighter and hesitating ones. Polly's
face wrinkled. THAT sounds just like
Mr.. Peters knock" she said, GROSSLY.
Il wonder what that man can want,
anyhow"
She laid her palette and brush down
and walked to the door, wiping her
hands on the checked apron that en-
veloped her from chin to toes. For an
instant l was happy in thinking OF
the frosty reception Mr.. Peters was
about to receive-just the kind he de-
served. Then the door opened.
why, Mr.. Peters!" cried Polly, gra-
ciously-decidedly too graciously, II
seemed to me-holding out a hand to
him. "It's you, is it? Come right
I'M"
Thank you-thank you, Miss Mat
son." he said, bowling repeatedly as he
entered. I'm very pleased to see you.
I've been"
Just then he stopped, for he had
caught sight of me. The look on his
face told me that his pleasure in see
ing Polly did not also include seeing
me.
"You have met Mr.. Minton, have

at her covertly and saw that she was
not happy. l felt happier.
Since Polly had lost her volubility
Peters began to grow uncomfortable.

tumble with the band on his hat.
Finally he rose.

Peters toward the door by starting
toward it herself-Polly is finished in
the art of dismissing. She waited un-
til the sound of his footsteps had died
away, then marched across the room
and took her stand, determinedly, in
front of me.

EnmIne Camp.

The author of Enchanted India"
gives a vivid and Notwithstanding pic
ture of one of the famine camps, es-
tablished ali over India to afford the
means of earning a living to those
whom the scourge had driven from
their native provinces. Two or three
thousand haggard and fleshless beings
were digging or carrying earth to form
an embankment for a railway or a
road. With arms scarcely thicker than
the handles of the tools they welded,
the laborers gasped for air, tired in a
minute, and paused to rest in spite of
the abuse of the overseers. Emaciated
women, in their tattered saris, carried
little baskets on their heads contain
ing a few handfuls of earth, which
they could scarcely lift. One of them,
wrinkled and shrunken, looked a hun
dred years old, tottering under her
load. On reaching the spot where she
was to empty out the soil, she leaned
forward little and let the whole thing
fall, Indifferent to the dust which COW
cred her and filed her mouth and eyes;
off she went again as if walking in her
sleep. The men are paid as much as 2
annas G pennies) day. The women
earn TO- or cowries (sheils at the
rate of about 100 to the anna) for each
basket-load, according to the distance,
and can make as much as l anna a
day. All these toilers had to support
others belonging to them. These, una
BILE to work, squatted about the camp in
their desolate and pitiable misery. And
the food was insufficient for any of
them, only hindering the poor crea-
cures from dying at once. The baboo,
who has lost caste and been half civ
ilized in the Angio-Indian colleges, is
always the middleman between the
government and the poor; and he,
barefaced, and with no pretence of
coneealment, took 20 per cent of the
wages he was supposed to pay the la
borers. And there were none but ba-
boos to superintend the poorhouse and
the famine camps.

HYPNOTIC VICTIM
BROKE UP PARTY
Thought He Was a Prize-Fighter

Police Called In.

MIR. John Sweeney, well-known young
man of this city, under the influence of
hypnotism, caused considerable excitement
given at the residence of Mr.. w. ]. Gil
man, No. 922 West Marshall Street.
MIR. Calvin Cooke, one of the guests at
the solicitation OF others, agreed to per-
form several hypnotic feats. He hypno-
tized one or two young men, and then Mr..
Sweeney expressed a desire to be sub
ject.
Mr.. Cooke performed several simple
feats with him, and then turned his atten-
ton to others, while Mr.. Sweeney went out
on the porch.
He was later found there in a semi
conscious condition, and Mr. Cooke was
called upon to revive him. He was un-
able TO do SO, however and several others
tried their hands Mr. Sweeney became
violent and a struggle ensued' in the yard.
Sixteen young men piled on him. but We're
unable to hold him. He threw a heavy
stone around as though it was thing OF
no weight, and tore a number Of palings
off the front fence Several of the young
men were knocked down by him.
A phone message was sent TO the Third
Police Station for help, and a squad of
policemen consisting of Officers Barfoot,
Harris, German, Krouse and Shumaker,
repaired to the scene.
After long struggle the young man
was handcuffed and rendered powerless.
DIR. F. H. Bead'es was sent for and,
after treating Mr.. Sweeney, had him
conveyed in Benefits private ambulance
to the Old Dominion Hospital and his
parents sent for. AT the hospital he broke
an iron bed, but finally succumbed to
narcotits
He remained IN a stupor until yesterday
morning about O'Clock when he re-
covered consciousness.
Mr.. Sweeney is a son of Mr.. James
Sweeney, and a brother of DR.. Thomas NJ

young man. His condition yesterday morn
ing was by no means serious, and it
is the expectation of his physicians that
