self in an office building occupies

he went up to the second fiat, and there

saw man busy writing at his desk.

but the lawyer interrupted with, Nd,

What the Eye Tells.
Eyes are very treacEerous. and those
who NEEDLE in amorous matters should
know all about them.
When the upper lid covers half or
more of the pupil. the indication is Of
cool deliberation. An eye the upper
lid Of which passes horizontally across
the pupil indicates mental ability. Tn
steady eyes, rapidly jerking from sid.
to side, are frequently indicative of an
unsettled mind. 1t is said that the
prevailing color of eyes among the pa
tients of lunatic asylums are brown
and black. Eyes of az ....,. w.
weak brows and long, concave lashes
are Indicative Of weak constitution.
Eyes that are wide apart are said to
indicate great intelligence and tena.
cious memory. Eyes Of which the
whole iris is visible belong to erratic
persons, even with tendency toward
insanity. Wide open, staring eyes in
weak countenances indicate jealousy,
bigotry. intolerance and pertinacity
without f1rmness.

instead Of three. This brought about
my arrival quite a spell after DARK
and Bennett was waiting for me
quarter Of a mile up the road. Inc
first question he asked was If any one
had spoken to me, and when | assured
him that even the people at the station
did not know where l was bound for
he was somewhat elated. found he
had provisions for a cold lunch, but
nothing very appetizing, while we
must sleep on the bare boards OF the
family sitting room. 1t was while eat
ing supper that 1 noticed a wild,
strange look In the mans face and De-
gan to doubt him. He was restless
and distract and watched me In
furtive way. and it wasn't long before
l felt that he had some sinister de-
signs in Turing me to the lonely old
house. l put bold face on the mat
ter and demanded an explanation. and
at that he attacked me and threw me
to the floor. From his savage manner
l believed he was going to murder me
outright, but after growing In his
throat like wolf he lifted me up and
showed me into closet and bolted the
stout door on me. OF course l protest.
ed, argued and struggled, but without
avail. l heard him laughing to him
self after he had locked me In, but l
did not hear him leave the house. FIFTY
times during the night i kicked on the
door and called out, but got no an
swer. Next morning, still failing to
arouse him, began to cut at the door
with my pocketknife. 1t was of oak
and my task was a hard one. 1t was
almost night when l reached up and
slid back the bolt, and as soon as out
l found the house deserted and lost no
time in getting away myself.
went straight to the police with
my story, and who do you think the
man proved to be? No more or less
than a lunatic who had escaped from
an asylum three months before. He
was under another name, lived far
from the address he had given me, and
his mania was the fear Of starvation.
Before going to the asylum he had
locked up two different people in ten
antless houses to see how long they
could live without food or drink, and
my capture was third experiment In
that line. l bore him no Ill will, OF
course, but insisted that he be returned
to the asylum. and believe he Is living
today. In that old house, far from
help and place never visited, he
would have wrought nay death by
inches but for my pocketknife, and
months or years might have passed
before my corpse was ever found.

Where Elouuence IL Wasted.

1t might have been supposed that
Addison, the most polished writer OF
our Augustan age; that Burke, with
his versatile intellect and eXuberant
eloquence; that Macintosh, with his
almost encyclopedia learning, or that
Jekyll, who had set hundred dinner
tables in a roar, would one and all
have achieved conspicuous success in
the house of commons.
But, as Macaulay has pointed out,
exactly the reverse was the case. Their
speeches produced no effect. They
weared and bewildered their audience.
And their rising to speak was too often
the signal for general exodus; in fact,
as was said of Burke. they acted as a
dinner bell. Even Macaulay himself,
though on two occasions his speeches
changed the fate of a division. was In
no sense of the word an orator or even
a great debater. His voice was too
shrill and monotonous. and he poured
out torrent Of words with such head
long Auency as to confuse his hearers
as well as to battle the quickest of par
liamentary reporters. Bulwer Lytton,
again. could recIte an admirable essay,
but his. delivery was bad. and the see
saw gestures which accompanied his
speech were as "grotesque as those Of
an old fashioned postboy."
In our own generation no two men
probably have had more highly cult

him with suspicion. He told straight
enough story, however, though rather
queer one. Being left an orphan at the
ago of IL years, he had been brought
up by an uncle living in Hartford coun-
ty. He had always been given to I'M
derstand that he would be his uncle's
heir, and he was sure that a will had
been made to that effect, but three
years previous to his call on me the
uncle had passed away, no will had
been found, and the property had gone
to the next of kin. While the uncle
was rich be was also an eccentric. Be.
Ing a single man and living almost
alone, he had been almost hermit.
The house he had occupied was ram
bling old structure at best and now
that 1t had been untenanted for several
years was in a bad state. What Mr..

the will was concealed in the old house.
