he heard the voices of men and women

The Taper still clicked, but the
words spelt were confused-then it

What is happening now beyond that

Where is the Scotsman?
Frantically he seized the instrument
and called the Scotsman again.
He is answered.: Have sighted De-

CR0SS-EYED MAN MADE TROU2L

Lecturer.
Il have faced a thousand audi
ences." said a well-known lecturer
the other day, and l have never been
able to shake off my nervousness of
the first 10 minutes. Scores and scores
of times l have wanted to run away
as the moment approached for me to
step out and be introduced, and doz-
ems and dozens of times l have had
close escapes from breaking down
after making fair beginning. The
merest trif1e will sometimes put a lee
turer clean out.
The --LATEST failure I ever made
was IN a town in Ohio. l had been
speaking for 10 minutes when cross
eyed man came In and took a front
seat. He at once crossed his legs.
folded his arms and looked me full
IN the face. l tried not to see him,
put IN spite of myself l found MY
glance wandering i'll his direction and
ne soon began to frritate me. l got
to wondering if his children were also
cross-eyed-which eye he saw the best
with-why he didn't have them
Strengthened, and felt myself getting
tangled up. l fought against the in
fluence and went on all right for 10
minutes, and then l noticed that the
cross-eyed man had pimple on his
nose. l thought l saw him trying to
look at it. and l just stopped dead still
IN my lecture to watch him. For two
minutes the audience was as silent as
SO many dead people, but then they
caught on and began to laugh, and
for another two minutes the hall was
In an uproar.
L hadn't meant to call attention to
the mans misfortune, of course, but
his feelings were not at all hurt. 1t
appeared that he had bought a new
neck-tie at bargain that day, and as
l stood there like a stupid he rose up
and bowed to me and said
Thankee, sir. If you want one too
l can tell you where they are sold for
II cents apiece. and they are the big
gest bargains in Ohio!'
Then We had a hearty laugh all
around, and found my lost wits and
went ahead again, and l do believe
that was the most enthusiastic audi
ence Of the year.

Prof. Loer, of the University of Chi

in that direction; after years of investi-
CATION and experiment he has located
"life" in the nerves, finding that 1t Is
the result of chemical action; he has
taken a human heart that had stopped
beating, started it and stopped it at
will with certain chemical solutions,
and, most astonishing Of all, he has
been able to produce lye-only in the
lower order of living beings as yet
but having discovered how to produce
it in them, there Is no reason why he
should not advance and wrest the great
secret from nature in its entirety.

CHAPTER II.-cONTiNUEO.
At Sadler's Wells.

Far down.. the roadway there rose d
cloud of dust, which came steadily nearer
following the only vehicle in sight, prob
ably the only one which had passed that
morning AS this little dust-cloud came
slowly nearer it might have been seen to
rise from the wheels Of richly-built
and well-appointed coach. Four dark
horses obeyed the reins handled by
solemn -visaged lackey on the box, and
there was a goodly footman at the back.
Within the coach were two passengers
such as might have set Saddler's Wells
by the ears. They sat on the same seat
as equals. and their heads lay close to-
gether, as confldantes. The tongues Of
both ran fast and free. Long gloves COW
cred the arms Of these beauties, and their
costumes showed them to be Of station.
The crinoline Of the two filed all the body
of the ample coach from seat to seat. and
the folds of their figured muslins, flowing
out over this simple outline, gave to the
face of each a daintiness Of contour and
feature which was not Ill relieved by the
high head-dress Of ribbons and bepow-
dered hair. OF the two ladies' one, even
IN despite Of her crinolne, might have
been seen to be Of noble and Queenly fig
ure; the towering head dress did not fully
disguise the wealth Of red-bronze hair.
Tall and wel-rounded, vigorous and
young, not yet 20, adored by many suit
ors, Lady Catharine Knollys had rarely
looked better than she did this morning
as she drove out to Sadler's, for Provi-
dence alone knew what fault of a superb
vital energy. Her eyes sparkled as she
spoke, and every gesture betokened rather
the grand young creature that she was
than the valetudinarian going forth for
healing. Her cheek, turned now and
again, showed a clear-cut and untouched
soundness that meant naught but health
1t showed also the one bemish upon q
beauty which was toasted in the court as
faultless. Upon the left cheek there was
a nlouche, excessive in it's SIZE Strangers
might have commented on it. Really i
covered a deep-stained birth1nark, the
one blur upon a peerless beauty. Yet ever
this might be forgotten, as 1t was now
The companion Of the Lady Catharint
in her coach was a young woman, scarce
so tall and more slender. The heavy hool
concealed much Of the graceful figure thai
was her portion, but the poise Of the upper
body, free from the seat-back and erect
with youthful strength as yet unspared
showed easily that here, too, was but ar
Indifferent subject for Sadler's. Dark
where her companion was fair, and with
the glossy texture Of her own sonabel
locks showing in the individual roll which
ran back into the absurd fontange o
false hair and falser powder, Mary Con
nynge made good foil for her bosom
friend; though honesty must admit tina.

SYNOPSIS,

The story opens in London at the beginning Of
the eighteenth century. tiny Indian moccasln,
dainty and graceful. eXcites the wonder OF a
company Of young English bloods 1t Is shown
them by Du Mesne Frenchman fresh from
America, who tells wonderful stories of the vast
ness of the new country and its great riches.
The scene then shifts to Sadlers Wells, rem
devious for the elite of London. Nearby, In
the shelter Of a hedge lie two young men asleep.
Though poorly dressed they are evidently youths
Of good breeding. The elder has figure OF
strength and beauty and handsome face. The
younger is slighter and has Il bandage on his
wrist, stained with blood. Apparently they are
brothers.
