damp and dismal.
In his aimless wanderings, Rob's feet
struck against something, and he at
once thought of the torches the men
had used when they brought in the
goods. The thing he had kicked
sounded like one of these. He stopped
and picked it up. It was just what
he thought it was-a torch made of
some kind of soft stuff like cotton
waste, wrapped on a bar of iron and
soaked in oil. The odor from it show
ed that it had been recently used
probably by the men who had been
with him.
But smothered torch gives no light,
and Rob could not feel that he was
any better OFF than before. He had
never learned to. smoke, and therefore
carried no matches. If he only had
match!
Suddenly it occurred to him that he
did not have on his own clothes, but
the fantastic garments given him by
Captain Torreyo, of the "Black Cat"
Instinctively he felt in the pockets Of
his velvet jacket.
First he brought out a package Of
Spanish cigarettes, which he threw
away, not having any use for. them.

something to wear the Jacket OF a

Coming to some water-watere
breaks the spell-the boy woke from,
MS trance.
He was again hypnotized and, or
he went, round some huts, and at the
door OF one of them lay down and
Tell asleep. The owner of the hut.
who was not in, was on his return
arrested. He stOutly denied his.
guilt, but some of the goods belonging
to his victim were found in the hut
and he ultimately confessed.
The murderer was brought before.
Menelek, who asked him to detail. his
doings after the commission Of the
crime. These were found to, CORE.
spond with the movements Of the To-
Dasha. He said that, overcome with
remorse, he ran to two churches, and
kissed them.
Menelek wanted to have, another
proof of the lobasha's gifts. He him.
self took some jewelry belonging to-
the empress. A lobasha was sent for.
He first ran about In the empress,

and finally fell down on Menelek',

NJ. Ilg can give no explanation OF
this wonderful gift. which seems to be
confined to a certain tribe; or perhaps

which are distributed over the. whole

Sleuths in Trance

A Swiss engineer, M. Ilg, in the en-
ploy of King Menelek. the ruler of
Abyssinia. tells some strange things
about that country and one of his
most weird stories relates to the
lobasha, or crime discoverer. These
are boys not more than twelve years
bf age, who are put into a hypnotic
trance, and in this state discover the
unknown perpetrators of crimes. OF
Of the hunting down Of criminals he
had personal knowledge. In cose' of
incendiarism in Adis Abeba the 10.
basha was called to the spot and given
2 cupful of milk into which green
powder had been put and then was
made to smoke pipe of tobacco mix
ed with black powder. The boy
was then hypnotized After a few
minutes he jumped up and began rnnr
ming to Harrar. For fully sixteen
hours he ran, and so swift was his
pace that professional runners were
not able to keep mp with him. Near
Harrar the ]obasha left the road, ran
into field and touched a. Gala work
ing there with his hand: The man
confessed.
Another case which, Emperor Meme

a noise to be heard very far away.
So, truthfully, Caleb "breathed"
whistle, meanwhile standing with the
same curveless and stubby finger
placed beneath the puzzling circle He
tilted forward and backward on his
toes. In a moment he stood motion
less, lowered his chin to his chest, and,
with final wheezy whistle oking
not at the Squire, but straight at the
circle-he said:
II think-I think that's O. cheese got
by-er, um-m-let me see" Caleb
now had to remove his hat, and with;
his free hand was exploring the bushy:
depths of his hair for some recollec.
tion of the obtuse transaction. As q
matter of fact, the partnership did NOT
involve cheeses. But the Squire hesf-
tated to make any blunt interruption
of Caleb's well-understood process Of
recollection. He finally risked saying
quietly:
i I'VE haven't sold cheeses,. have We.
since-why, I don't remember that
we've had any since" The Squire
gave to his eyes a far-away, reflective
look. and mentally hoped Caleb soon
would recall the item.

Patiently the Squire had been wait

piece of paper before him. The black
dot saved the day. It was uncon-
sciously made, but it gave Caleb the

over the apparent immunity from
cloudiness which attended the Squire's
and Caleb's papers" for Caleb could
neither read nor write, and the Squire
was stickler for pouderous details
and regularity. But they got on, just
the same.
The Squire was the money man and
Caleb the general active head of the
partnership in the small watsr.power
establishment on the sytvtan edges of
Henryville. There milling business
was carried ON and farming imple-
ments sold. Caleb was engineer, fore

the Squire to so over the books and
keep their accounts regular,
1t was without misgivings that the
Squire went away for several weeks.
He had no fear the mill transactions
would be 'muddled in Calebs memory
and unique memoranda when he, re-
turned. And his faith was justified. .
whats this, Caleb?v asked the
Squire on his return, pointing on his
partners soiled pencil-markings to
what looked like capital 'T, lying
horizontally.
That? Why, that's Tor a. pick-axe

Something closely resembling a circle
and which might represent the let

necessary firmness of a hand unused

Caleb pondered. He also breathed a

certain that he would be confined there
for weeks, and perhaps months. and
that meant that he would die there.
When the full sense of the disaster
broke upon him, his boyish heart
throbbed with fear AS a. young and
healthy American, he loved life. He
loved his mother, and he had looked
forward to the day when, having by
skill and attention to his uncle's busi-
ness. won wealth and position, he
could make a comfortable home for
that dear mother, for which she would
not be beholden to any one for char
ity. To die with this brilliant pros
pect before him would be hard. But
to die In that dark hole. q lingering,
painful death by starvation. Oh! it
was terrible.
But Rob was q true American boy.
After the first few minutes of stupe-
faction his spirits returned. and he
began to think Of finding a way out.
He groped about the opening. now
so we'll blocked by the heavy rock, but
the largest aperature he could find
was simply large enough for him to put
his hand through. He could not move
the rock an inch.
While thus engaged in his futile eff
forts the thought came to him that
perhaps this was not an accident. Per-
haps, after all, Lemuel Starne had
recognized him-had told Captain Ell
vim who he was-and he had been
missed, traced to the caverns and lock-
ed in to await a terrible death by star
vation, or to be kept until they saw
fit to release him and kill him some
other way. Any way he looked at it,
death seemed certain.
With dull heart Rob left the open

groped his way in the darkness
