No more attention was paid to him
than if he was wooden pole, and all

strategy, and hurrying to the tele-

party. The trip was resumed with the

dren, were found in comatose con-
dition in their home at Ticona, a VIII

ter a careful examination, declared
that the victims of Lengert's hypnotic
skill are In a normal state as far as
heart action is concerned. They are
simply asleep.
The villagers at first threatened
Lingert with violence, but contented
themselves with mounting guard over
him and his victims and are compelling
him to continue his efforts to rouse the
Bartag family. He finally succeeded in
awakening two of the children, and
then collapsed himself under the ner-
vous strain. He partly recovered later
and says that he has been under so
great nervous strain for the last four
days that he lost control of his will
power. He is CONFIDENT that as soon
as he RECEIVERS his normal tempera
ment, he will succeed in awakening the
rest OF the family.
The Bartag family had not been seen
by any one of the villagers since last
Thursday. Their supposed disappear
