ready half-paralyzed will. The
face, which itself had seemed to
shed the strange, inhuman light
whereby it was grOtesquely Wis
ible suddenly disappeared and the
detective heard the sound of
someone rummaging in the bu-
reau drawers. His eyes found the
shadowy form and followed it,
while his body remained power
less to move, as in the case of the
previous victims of this extraOr.
binary criminal.
But the will of the detective
struggled on. Perhaps the Sol
cerer had left his victim too soon,
before he was wholly conquered.
At all events. by a terrible effort,
keene succeeded in withdrawing
his gaze from the burglar and aft
erwards in closing his eyes. With
eyes shut tight he felt his strength
returning, at first slowly, then
with a rush. The muffied foot
steps had crossed the room and
the bedroom door was closing
softly when, with a wild shrek,
Keene leaped from his bed and
dashed in hysterical pursuit.
AS he ran down the stairs
Keene heard the sound of revolver
shots in the street, also the shouts
of excited policemen. A flying
figure shot through the hall and
made for the back of the house.
The detective followed and
caught a pair of coat-tails as the
runner crashed through a win
dow. There was a short struggle,
the coat parted, the, burglar
dashed off and something clat-
tered to the floor.
Thinking it was a weapon,
Keene stopped to pick it up. But
it was of peculiar shape and he
raised it to his eyes.
Horror of horrors! There was
that fiendish face again, and for
the first time in his so years of
strenuous life John Keene fell to
the floor in a swOon.
1t was there on the floor that
the squad of policemen found him,
after the burglar had eluded
them. When a light was struck
Keene had just opened his eyes
and was raising himself on an
elbow. Beside him lay a common
mirror of ordinary size. But
about it's frame was thickly
smeared a yellow substance, aft.
erwards discovered to be a prepar-
alton of phosphorus, which in the
dark emitted a dull. fantastic
glow. The victims of the mid
night burglaries had been hypno.
tized by the sight of their own re-
Election in this singular mirror!
Az for the criminal, he was
never caught, but there we're no
more hypnotic burglaries In the
town, and the strange mirror now
holds the highest place among the
trophies in the Harvey police ex.
hibit.
