The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1904-05-21

with 1t In his hand he walked into the
ante room which was filled with the morn
ing levee of afflicted humanity. They sat
stolidly. His presence in the room was
evidently unobserved. The stone then
produced the quality of invisibility so long
as it was held in his hand So much the
doctor observed from his experiences.
Had it any other virtues? AS practical
man the thought at once suggested itself
to him that it might be used in diagnosis.
To assure himself he applied the stone to
his right eye. 1t was as he imagined. The
people on whom he focused it were mere
glass or gauze to its penetrating powers.
Like Helen's babies he could see the
wheels 60 around without the disadvan-
tage of having to pull the machine to
pieces. The idea fitted across his mind
that if he could only interpret the motions
of his patient brain convolutions in terms
of thought and words he would be well
nigh omniscient The prospect was stu
pendous and appalling. The doctor left
the room with the stone in his hand. He
was not yet prepared to make what people
might regard as a full alliance with 'Old
Nick.
Still, the possibilities of the stone were
alluring. When office hours were over the
doctor sailed out to have little harmless
merriment with his weird treasure. The
diabolical humor of the thing grew upon
him. He spoke to everyone he passed.
All were startled at. his hearty greeting,
which came apparently out of the void air.
Friends who recognized his voice paused,
looked in his direction and passed on with
a puzzled fear in their eyes. There must
be something in spiritualism after all. DIR.
Orton acknowledged to himself that he
would be splendid missionary for the oc-
cult religions.
He determined to test the power of the
stone in a more wholesale way. The street
car was just the thing. When the next one
came along he put the stone into his pocket.
The motorman put on the brakes and the
car stopped. Meanwhile the doctor again
clutched the stone The conductor was
only simple fellow and had had no COM
munication that morning with any spirits
except those that could be bought at the
German saloon near his little home. He
looked around for his new passenger and
when he found the man had vanished like
the wrack of dream, he let out yell that
would have shamed steam siren. Tore
lieve his stress of mind the doctor released
the stone for second and rendered him
his fare The conductor extended his
hand to receive it, but the tricky stone was
again doing its work. There was neither

"Brown's in Town"

The farce Browns in Town. which
is the attraction at the opera house
tonight is said to be one Of the bright
est and cleanest comedies ever seen on
the stage. The plot of the piece deals
with the troubles Of Dick and Lefty
Preston, two young people who have
been secretly married and who are
trying to conceal their marriage from
Dicks father. The old gentleman has
a decided aversion to marriage, prob
ably as Dick says, because he has been
there himself, and has vowed that If
Dick does marry before reaching the
age of twenty-five he will cut him OF
without a cent Dick and Lefty have
taken a cottage at Brighton and are
living an ideal life among honeysuckle,
hens and inquisitive neighbors, and. of
course. the old gentleman turns up.
Dick is living under the name of Brown
at the cottage, and the elder Preston
takes a friend of Dicks for Brown. and
LEFTY for Mrs Brown. On his arrival
Dick has arranged with Suzanne Dacre
a friend of Letty's to act as Mrs
Brown. This eventually leads to the
discovery by the old gentleman that
there are two Mrs. Browns and the
contradictory explanation that the
Young people give for the unusua
number of wives on the part OF the i'm
aginary Brown keep Preston senior ir
