Inc use OF hypnotism as a means of
regal investigation has just been sanction
ed by the Client Court of Appeals in re-
| gard to case known as the 'Borreman
| trial., which 1t was found impossible to
eldcidate by means of ordinary evidence.
1t appears that in the course of certain
celebrations held at Alost in June 1899.
NJ W. Borreman, merchant of that
town, was seriously injured. and as a re-
suit upward of twenty arrests were made.
Four of the defendants were fined and one
condemned to two months Imprisonment.
while damages were awarded to the plain
tin. An appeal was subsequently made
on behalf of defendants and new trial
mas been in progress for some time past.
one of the principal points put forward
by NJ Borreman was that. as a result
OF the attack made upon him, he suffered
from deafness. Medical examination hav-
ing failed to give satisfactory evidence
as to the degree of deafness from which
he suffered its cause or the probability
of curing it, three experts who had charge
OF the case, and among whom Is a pro-
fessor of Ghent University, submitted
that in order to elucidate these points
they should hypnotic NJ. Borreman. The
latter having given his consent. the court
has just sanctioned the carrying out of
the proposal.
the use of hypnotism has been sanctioned
for judicial purposes. The result is await
ed with considerable interest
The accident at the Mines bullfight
some time ago. in which one man was
tossed and another gored to death, draws
attention to a most curious game, which.
as bullfighting steadily gains ground in
the south of France. Is becoming very
popular among the Merdionales.
If it were not unhappily merely the pre-
lude to the gross butchery of the real
Spanish game, the Jeu de la Cocarde
would have much to recommend 1t to a
place on the list of trials of strength, for
1t Is essentially an amateurs game, re-
quiring the highest daring and skill. while
1t need involve no cruelty to the bull
The cocarde is a little tuft of feathers
ana ribbons. Two of these are fastened
to the bulls horns and he is then turned
into the ring. where the players all on
loot, are awaiting him. The game is now
TO excite the bull into charging and for
this the usual red cloths are used
But at the moment that the bull dashes
INTO the red rag the player steps deftly
aside, and instead of sticking a cruel ban
derllio into the animals neck tries to
snatch the cocarde from the bulls horns
The game. Of course, Is won by the first
to bear off the little trophy. but the bull
usually manages to bear his plumes a
long time before being bereft of them

impossible to remain at Falconhurst,
for-could she help it?-she had
learned to care for Leslie, who, in
spite of the humble position that she
had taken up, had always treated her
with as much Difference and courtesy
as he did his mothers guests.
"Vera, you shall not go!" he cried,
striding after her and taking her
hands. my darling, do you think
that i would let you leave me like
this? Little one, don't you know how
1 have learned to love you?"
But one look at her face was
enough for him TO know that she
loved him even as he loved her.
"But your mother-what will she
say?"
MY dearest, have you not just now
told me who you really are? Had
met you before your aunt's circum-
stances changed my mother would
gladly have welcomed you as her
daughter, so why should she not well
come you now?'
When, an hour later, Mrs. Falconer
came into the library her consterna-
tion can be imagined on seeing the
position of her son and housemaid.
"Leslie." she exclaimed.
"Hush, mother, and let me explain.
Vera has promised to be my wife"
"Your wife? You to marry "a"
But he held up his hand.
"Can you not see that Vera is not
what she has pretended TO be? She is
just as well born as we are. She is
Col. Wynston's daughter"
"You. the daughter of Col. Wyns-
ton, of WINSTON towers? Incredi-
/ blel"
at is true!" said Vera.
So Nera's venture ended happily
for her; and her husband is wont to
say that he will ever be thankful that
she acted as she did for il brought
him the happiness of his life.-For-

girl who had chatted SO pleasantly to
him the day before standing by one
Of the bookshelves. She had been
sent to dust the books, and on seeing
him In the armchair she had entered
so softly, hoping TO finish her work
before he awo<e, that he had not
heard her before.
"She does look nice in that cap and
apron" he thought, and yet-he could
not tell why-it gave him an uncom-
Portable feeling TO see her in them.
"Good morning, Miss" And he
waited for her to supply the name.
"Good morning." she said, not
noticing the fact that he evidently
wanted to know her name. "lIe must
suspect that 1 am not what | appear
to be-" she thought.
"IIave you read that?" he asked,
pointing 10 the book in her hand.
II have" she answered. but so
stifily that he resumed his seat and
said no more.
"She evidently does not wish me to
speak to her" he thought, $50 that,
unless | want to be a cad. l must not
notice her any more than | would an
other housemaid. She snubbed me
just now, though. Fancy my being
snubbed by a housemaid!"
But somehow it always happened
that the owner of Falconhurst want
ed something about the library just
at the time the new housemaid went
on to attend 10 her duties.
At first he told himself that he only
wanted to befriend her, as she seemed
so lonely. and then he thought that
he would try and get her something
better TO do, "for her position must
be intolerable," he thought. But as
the weeks went on he knew that il
was not friendship that made him
seek Nera's society
And she, what did she feel? At first
she was very coy, not answering any
questions that he asked her except in
monosyllables, and never, if she
could help it, keeping up any CONVEX
sation with him.
But after time she became less
n friend, even acknowledging to him
that she was lady, Dut asking MN
TO keep her secret.
Out" he thought. 81 must not be
too friendly, for it hardly seems the
thing for the master Of Falconhurst
to make friend of his mothers
housemaid."
81 leave to-day, Mr.. Falconer.
Good-by!"
leave to-day? Why are you CO.
ing?"
"For several reasons. You have
been very good to me; thank you for
it."

library. She had just finished her
work, and so babe him good-by be-
fore she left the room. She found it
