conversation in whispers, brief his
tory Of the life of the patient, and Pro
fessor Ainsley knew what was expect
ed Of him. We must hurry said DR..
Blank, "and, for Gods sake, Ainsley,
don't fall
The hypnotist nodded his head, and
the two men noiseIessly entered the
room. The great specialist recognized
in this supreme test of his skill and
resolved that his brilliant record should
not suffer. He stepped briskly to the
bedside and took the wrinkled hand of
the patient in his own. Then, without
word, he gazed ixedIy into the eyes
of the dying man.
The veteran, half unconscious by
reason Of the terrible pain he was suf-
fering, at first paid no heed to the pow
erful figure bending over him. For a
few moments he groaned and tossed
about, but slowly, surely, the stronger
one was gaining the mastery.
Old Kenesaw now glanced into the
penetrating eyes and turned away, but
again he looked and again. He seem
ed powerless to look elsewhere. Grad
ually the moaning ceased; he became
less frantic. Presently the body was
motionless The thin lips moved, but
no sound came from them. Only his
rapid, labored breathing could be
heard, 4
Thus far the hypnotist had said
nothing. His dominating mind and in
tent gaze alone had silenced the cries
of pain, quoted the tortured body and
made the mind of his subject insensi-
BILE to the terrific process that was fast
bringing his life to an end. But he
was going further. Selling both the
patients hands in his own, he shouted:
"Here comrade, contradict Wake up!
Come, come; it will never do to lie
there! Come on, or the ambulance

let stunned you, old man. Come on!
They need us at the front. Don't you
hear the cannon booming and the rifles
cracking? Kenesaw! Kenesaw! Ken
esawl Hooray, we've got 'em on the
runp'
The Illusion had gone home. AS the
dying veteran listened to these startling
words he drew himself up to a sit
ting posture and passed his wrinkled
old hands over his glazing eyes as if
to remove something that was obscur-
ing his vision. Great beads Of perspi-
ration stood out upon his pale face, and
an unearthly fire came into his eyes.
The lips that had failed few minutes
before now found utterance:
Hist! Is that you, Cottrell, old
pard? Give me your hand! Thought
had lost you in that last charge. No,
no; 1t don't hurt now; jest a scratch.
Where's our company? Surei That's

Hooray! Give it to 'em, boysl Come
on, Cot; give me your hand, old pard
1t seems a bit smoky, but come on;
we've got 'em on the run Hooray!
Hooray! Hooray!''
AS the final shout of triumph came
from his lips he sank back upon the
pillow, and the sweet smile lingering
on the furrowed old face told that he
had died happy. Old Kenesaw had
fought his last battle. Chicago Rec.

Worknen Made It Dangerous For
State House Visitors.

A life insurance agent was chased out
Of the state house the other day. but if
he goes up there now he will be more
cordially received and do a good bust
ness in the bargain. Since the executive
council let out the state house finishing
contracts the other day it is almost as
much as a mans life is worth to try
and make a pilgrimage through the cap
itol building, with or without guide.
There are bricks falling here and plaster
in another place, and chunks of blue
stone over there The sound of the
hammer, the pick and the cl1isel mingle
with the buzz of the wheezy elevator as
it slides up and down in it's groove.
There is one good thing about an
elevator, though, as one philosopher OBJ
serves. 1t knows its place and it stays
there. With the chips that fall in the
daytime, however, it is different. They
may cavort from the first floor to the
basement; or, one may be standing over
by the attorney generals office and hear
a rapid thud, thud, and down comes
a clump of rock and plaster from the
region of the supreme court that
threatens to dislocate any and every
vertebra that has the temerity to get
in the way.
1t is a blessed thing to know the state
house finishers are at work, and besides,
for anyone that values his headpiece it
is a valuable tip to have, to hold and
remember on passiig through the build
ing. The legislature appropriated what
is expected to be it's last $10O, 600 to have
this work Of finishing the state house
completed. Part of the contracts have
been already let and Architect John
Stanton is now getting out the plans Cor

which the contract will be shortly
awarded.
