Why can't I try to fish with my tail?
It's quite long" So very quietly and
cautiously, he dropped his tail into the
water, just above the fish. Rather
cold work." he thought. But soon he
got bite. One of the crawf1sh had
caught his tail with his claws Up,
with a swish, he jerked it out of the
water. With a good nip he made 1t
let go. Then he sat down and quietly
ate it, smiling all over. The trick
struck him as such a good one that
he threw back his head and silently
laughed, till he nearly fell into the
water.
He recovered himself, and said seri-
ously, Il must catch some more for the
children" and again dropped his line
into the stream. The crawf1sh nipped
him every time, and every time he
landed them successfully. When he
thought he had as many as he could
, carry he took them up in his mouth
and started for home Mrs Fox well

quest that Mrs. Lawson would aid him

that he was trying tor struggle with in
spite of his visual defect.
Trilby, with merely the organ of a
voice, was made to sing magnifcently
by aid of Svengali's knowledge OF tech
nique under the influence Of his hyp-
motto power.
There the Comparison Ceases.
Unfortunately the comparison ceases
there, for Trilby was not young wo
man of unblemished reputation but a
young person who had never been par
ticular in her morals.
Mrs. Lawson, on the contrary, comes
from one of the best families in the
Middle West and has borne an unblem-
ished reputation. Her marriage to her
husband, was a purely love affair and
her married life has been an exemplary
one hitherto.
Her mother and the other members
of her family are the most astounded
people in the world over the occurrence,
which has so blighted the young wo-
mans life. They are the firmest be-
levers of the idea that her abductor
really possesses the nefarious power
attributed to him.

Clever mr. Fo,
How JKe Fished and Hunted

The fox about which I am going to
tell you and his mate had two young
ones. And as they were always hungry
like most children, he was out hunting
from morning till night, and often
through the night, too, trying to get
them enough to eat. But sometimes
luck was against him, and now and
then Mrs. Fox complained that he was
letting the children sIarve.
One day off he started, after telling
the little ones to be good and not worry
their poor mother. AS he trotted along
he reflected, now it won't pay to go
near the barn-yard again today They
will surely be on the lookout for me.

Special to the Globe.

Special to the Globe
CHICAGO, July 26.-How much is
Svengalism practiced for the purpose
of accomplishing crimes of a more or
less diabolical character?
This is a point which no bureau of
criminal investigation in the world can
answer, even with the assistance of
the faculty of the Charcot Institute.
Hypnotism is in it's infancy; the pos
SCISSORS of this uncanny power often
discover the fact that they are hypnot-
lists, by accident and then carefully
conceal the fact from others for the
contamination of their own ends
1t has also become a. common thing
nowadays for persons who are accused
OF offenseS to attribute their guilty acts
to enthralment by stronger minds. OF
course nine-tenths of such accusations
are pure inventions and fictitious eX-
cuses. They have no ground in even
a decent suspicion, but are invented
out Of the whole cloth" as the saying
goes.
A case recently occurred in this city,
however, in which a man is accused of
being Svengali in which the accusa-
ton bears upon it the earmarks of
probability.
The case involves the mysterious dis
ture and refinement, (Whose husband
holds fine professional position in
Chicago) with an old, illiterate, half
blind, poor and unattractive man.
The friends of the young couple are
dumbfounded over the occurrence and
after beating their heads for any ra-
tiOnal excuse for the odd infatuatiOn
declare that the abductor is a Svengali.
Oddly enough his Sardonic features en-
body the same peculiar facial charac-
teristics as did those of the original
of Trilby'S Nemesis and the circum-
stances leading up to the elopement
somewhat resemble those which formed
the basis of Du Maurier's romance.
Identity of SvengaIi.
Even the name by which the Chicago
SVengai was known appears in doubt.
He was a German about fifty-fve
years of age and had been an eye spe-
ciaIist, according to his own state
ment, until his eyes began to fail, which
led to his downfall in profession of
which he was almost a master.
He became acquainted with the Law
sons, by which name the young couple
were known, early this year in some
informal manner. The husband recog-
nizing him as a man who knew some
thing Of-optics and not having the re-
hottest idea of becoming jealous of him
and beautiful wife without any SuS-
picion that evil would come of the con-
tact.
BY a remarkable coincidence Mrs.
Lawson had a pair of particularly
bright and strong eyes-eyes which to
an eye specialist would be a fortune
in themselves. 1t is supposed that by
the use of Mrs. Lawson's eyes the Ger
man Svengali was enabled to see clear
ly with his own halfblind eyes when
he had her under the effect of hypno-
tiSm In fact the excuse made by this
intruder in the Lawson home was a re-

to blot her out of his life forever, so
deeply is he enraged at her inaxplica-
bic conduct
From what can be cleaned it looks
as If the clipping couple had gone to
Germany where SvengaIi No. alleged
he had an interest in a large optical
goods factory
The opinion Of the police is that the
man has merely. separated the young
woman from her husband because he
wanted her for himself and that no
other explanation is necessary than
that given for other elopments. Be
that as it may the disappearance of
gest sensations of the year.

WHO. IS IN CONTROL
OF THE COURT HOUSE?
Mayor Smith Thinks This Is An OPP
perfume Time to Answer This
Question.

Mayor Smith thinks the present
time about as opportune as any to find
out whether the city hall and court
house commission has jurisdiction
over the big building known as the
city hall or court house, or the dis
trict judges.
Mind you," said his honor yester-
day, 81 want the courts of this county
to have all the room needed and not
be hampered in any way, but l do
think much valuable space is given
over to them that is not absolutely
necessary. Some of the departments
here are badly hampered for want
of room and others are asking for
room, when, if they would reduce the
size of their private offices, they would
have ample, but I think this thing of
the judges protesting over the tenn
porary taking of a jury room that is
only used occasionally is without rea-
son. When they stopped the county
from taking an unused court room
for the use of the commissioners,
was for fighting it out, but the threat
of arrest for contempt was too much
for the others, and they wouldn't back
me. In the case of City Engineer Rund-
lett, who has taken a jury room for
his bridge department, I am not ex-
actly interested. He has moved in,
and I now suppose they will try and
bundle him out. When the Jail on the
top floor is removed, we will have lots
of space, but then guess those who
are kicking for more will refuse to
move up there. Well, the library was
on that floor for years, and I never
heard kick"
The district judges, it is understood,
are quite indignant over the forced
taking of one of their jury rooms for
Mr.. Rundlett's use, and may take steps
to GUST him. So far they have re-
fused to talk about the matter, or
say what they were going to do. They
claim, however, that it will greatly in
convenience the holding of court in the
big room adjoining.

CHAPTER XVI.

I had good night. I had eaten q

sick man-and had slept soundly oil
night. When morning came, I found
I had made gain in strength and en-
joyed my breakfast and the prospect
of an afternoon on the porch.
DR.. Tilling said that was getting
along very we'll and could stand it to
see few friends.
The morning seemed very long in
passing. About ten o'clock I fell in
to light doze and did not wake until
dinner-time.
In the afternoon, Malliauki en-
gineered the operation of getting me
onto the porch.
A largo essy-chair was provided
with cushions and pillows and placed
by my bedside. Into this I was
seated, or. rather, seated myself, for
was strong enough for that, and two
Of the men lifted chair and all and
carried me onto the porch.
Doctor Tilling stood by with cordials
ready in case the moving was too
much for me. But they were not
needed.
It was a splendid afternoon. The
sky was clear and the sun bright. A
cCol, refreshing breeze came from the
ocean, and in the shade of the porch
there was inviting comfort.

I think the first glimmer OF return
1ng consciousness was the recognition
of Gordon's voice. There was an in
distinct hum about me, people talking
IN subdued voices and soft footsteps
moving about. T was aware that I
lay in a comfortable he'd, and that the
pure, sweet air from an open window
waited gently across my face. I must
have given some sign OF my return to
O conscious state, for some one gently
lifted my head and placed . glass or
spoon to my lips. A bitter, though
stimulating mouthful vas forced into
me, and swallowed it.
Then I opened my eyes, arifawaken-
ing from Q sound sleep. At first 1
felt a queer sensation, as if I was
half dazed. Gordon sat in chair by
my beside holding my hand. / re-
member that ct first I felt no surprise
as seeing him, so feeble was nv

over me.
I made an attempt to rise, bit was
unable to lift myself from ths pillow.
I lay exhausted after the eEort.
"Don't do it, boy, don"s do it," said
Doctor Tilling, gently. Remain per-
.feetly quiet. Yon are all right now.
