traversed by Karl, and took care to
prove that the human machine, as far
| as hearing was concerned, only acted
more speedily and over greater distances
than its iron and copper imitators. Its
limits were exactly the same.
IF l were favored as you and Karl
are, l should strive to cultivate my
knowledge rather than retard its growth
by needless alarm l said Luckily, in
these days men have learned to inquire
causes instead of falling fiat on their
faces in superstitious awe when they
encounter some new trick of nature. 1t

in a hospital ward containing crucitix,

More recently man bathing in the sea,

Now, these incidents are rightly regarded
as exceedingly interesting, but they are
neither supernatural nor conducive to
insanity. Nature acted as a photo

camera and the black cloth. That is all.
1T is a good DEAL" said Maggie, a
trifle awe-stricken, but nevertheless

were subjected to disturbing phenomena.
Not far distant was sitting a woman
of pronounced shapeliness rendered inn

dress. l recognized in her the widow of
a wealthy provision merchant. pointed
her out to my companion.
The pity is that such genuine lightning

A harmless joke of that kind, even as
the humble necessary worm, can serve
useful purpose. Maggie was kind enough
to laugh, and we dropped from the clouds
forthwith. Mrs. Hutchinson joined us,
but her daughter was SO quiet-being
ordinarily lively girl with all a girls
readiness to quiz good-humoredly her
neighbors' dresses and 1ooks-that the
sharp maternal scrutiny quickly detected
her distracted air.
So there was nothing for it but an
adjournment to our sitting room, where,
after prolonged conclave, we decided
that Maggie should not only decline

hands of another agent and risk the

murder was being spoken of-though

''Some of them are new to me When
Karl magnetized your hands, did you

Il felt numbing cold from the wrists
to the fnger-tips."
THAT is my sensation too, but general,

l laughed. Being an old fogy, l had
omitted most important factor in the
affairs of these young people. If, as l
suspected, Maggie was as badly smitten
as Karl with that durable disease of the
heart called love, it was fairly certain that
these two were thinking of each other at
every spare moment of the day.
Karls letter, explicit enough in all
details, bore out Maggies statement.
Constantine was behaving like an in
cipient homicidal maniac. He had pur-
chased a deadly-looking dagger, of
Sicilian manufacture; hence, it was a
reasonable assumption that the blade
would be efficient if properly used.

In view of the tragedy which actually
did take place, l have often wondered, in
those quiet hours when a man reviews

A Unique Case.

Judge Henson rendered decision
in a case which came up in his court
hsre last week that was very unusual,
and perhaps the first Of the kind I'm the
State. Samuel Sllberger was denied
registration in Pocahontas prior 10 the
recent local option election, on the
ground that his tax receipt showed
that he had not paid the entire pre-
ceding three years poll tax. as required
by the new Constitution. SilbeIger
took out naturalization papers, as a
citizen OF the United States, only last
August. He appealed from the de-
cislon OF the Pocahontas Registrar TO
the Circuit Court. Judge Henson re-
veIsed the Registrar, holding that Sill
berger was not liable for poll taxes for
the years prior TO becoming a citiZf n Of
the United States, and that he had a
right 10 register, having paid his poll
TAX for the present year. This decis-
ion has been commented upon pretty
widely among the lawyers and others,
many af them are OF the opinion that
Judge Henson misconstrued the law,
and that his decision will not stand if
tested. Others contend that Judge
Henson is right; an inhabitant Of the
United States Is liable for taxes on his
property but not for polltax until he
becomes citizen of the United States.
The polltax is special, they say, and is
not governed by the same law as other
taxes. II no polltaxes were assessed
against SilbergeT prior TO August last
at which time he became a citizen of
the United States, then, it is claimed,
Judge Henson was correct in his de-
cisiOn.
