He has become . miser of late. He holds all of Cousin Rhody's land intact. He has not squahdefed 1t. 1t is 20 years"
 Does the housekeeper and lawyer still live?" the professor hurriedly asked.
 Yes" came the fnurmuring reply.
 But another was speaking now. It was the young nurse, clear and in. cisive:
 If that woman tells the truth. which she has so far as can follow her. then I am Rhoda Bronck's heir. for my mother was Mariory Bronck."
 The hypnotized woman struggled back to normal condition, wonder ing what she might have said.
 The BFeHck vault was opened by lawful edict. A workman famous for handling explosive in safe manner was found willing to take away the stone from the niche holding the conn, and risk moving 1t out. It was then found that the present heir had done his work well: under other hands in re. moving the explosion that might have followed would have wrecked a town about that vault. The will was found as stated by the nurse. but ere 1t was found, she and the man she loved--or hsted-had disappeared forever from that land.

THE BURIED WILL
By IDA N. SHEPLER
Copyright. by Daily Story Pub. Col

The hypnotist holding forth for the last few nights in a Broadway hall had done wonderful things in the way of making the subjects of his power tell strange secrets in their own lives or that of some other person. Two per sons had come forward that last night. Not of the will or wish of either. They came because the liypnstist, fixing his great. black eyes OF their eyes, com .pelled their presence on the stage. Both were nurses. One fair, sad faced girl. the other bold, over dressed. middle aged woman.
 The professor first made passes over the girls eyes. Presently she be- gan to humble, then to talk of her hard life. her weariness. Her parents were dead. sister and brother she had none. but there was lover. young physician, handicapped in his start for place by an old grandfather and a weakly mother to support. She could not marry her love at present.
 The professor had known pitiful love. perhaps poverty. He quickly awakened her. He could not have her babbling in sleepy way of her sweet. love story.
 The older woman had come upon the stage at his competing gaze. but there was trouble in getting her suf- fciently hypnotized that sine would talk. She went of into contrary tant- rums of gesture but her lips re- ,nained So long tightly closed that the audience despsired and became un- easy. intimsting loudly tha, this was scent show for the money invested to get into the hall. The professor nodded for quiet, and the woman began to speak:
 Tim nurse by profession. never msrried- l-I hate. m. no. love him." Her lips came to with . snap.
 No. you don't lote him. Ycu know you don't. Now tell this audience why you haie him; rhy he never married you. Such handsome woman. Tell it your story" the professor coaxed ia strangely insinusting tone.
 Yes" she spoke now clear and sharp. T was beautiful I am yet. Ugh, How 1 hated nursing How I yet hate it. was going to marry such a rich old man that had nursed when I first met the man I loTed-that I yet
 NO. you don't you hate him. Go oai- compelled the professor. for at the word love her tongue had faltered.

 that she was dying.
 Here" she gasped q trust you.
 Hide this will until nis lawyer comes.
 ! should have let him take it with him that night. Hide f!'
 The lawyer who had made Cousin Rhody's fast will teek it on himself to look out for lNat will. He would not take my word that at the very last Cousin Rhody ordered me to de strey that will. as could prove by a housemaid. This maid was deaf and while she heard enough to know that Cousin Rhody had ordered one of the wills burned she was not quite sure which one it might be: but, under my direct look. faltered that it was the newest will.
 But the lawyer went at the matter in high handed manner. He put every room and drawer in the house under lock and key until search was made for that will. He sent for a woman to not only search my room but myself for that missing will, which l carried in my bosom. looked about for a hiding place for the will, but there was none. Quick as thought stepped from window to an outside balcony. The next window on this side the house opened into the room where they had laid its mistress. Before the woman or sheriff reached my room. had, by means of these windows. un- seen. gained access to where Cousin Rhody lay in her conn. tucked the will under her body. and when the sheriff and the woman brought to search me cane into this room I was sitting calmly reading.
 "RemarkinG that I had been sent by Cousin Rhody's heir to wstch by her body. went very quietly. though with some good show of indignation over the insult as I termed fl. hack 10 my own room by way of the doors new.
 Tt vas several hours before ths chance was given me to return to Cousin Rhody's room. and when I did so found the cofiu closed. and funeral director in charge with orders to not again open 1t.
 In vain [ plead with the heir to al- low t opened. He had given orders that 1t should not be. It vas not pol icy l felt to tell him of the will. I would get it afterwerd. I knew she would be placed in the family vault. She had ordered tha. she was not to be buried in the ground. She feared intefment. The will, I eonsoled my self. I could get at any time. There were two keys to the vault, and had avaiIed myself of one
 But it was never to be.

The oriaIn ef the Halo.

h the public places In Athens one or two thousand years ago the Greeks set up the statues of their gods and goddesses. To guard against the pos sibiHty of the rain staining the mar. ble faces of their masterpieces. they used 10 protect each with a large metal plate at the top of each head. These were mistaken by the pre- Raphaelite painters for emblems of divinity. Accordingly. to this day we see around the pictured heads of our Christian saints the curious little ring which Is known as the halo.

Gloves of WhaIehide.

Newfoundland whalers, seized with 4
spirit OF entcrprising economy. are re-
ported to be attempting to place
whale hide on the market for the
manufacture of whale leather, says the
London Express.
IT IS not surprising that such an at
tempt should be made. 1t must vcX
the spirit of any whaler of well-bal-
anccd mind to see, after all the hard
ship and danger of his calling, an
enormous and altogether dispropor-
tomato bulk OF his quarry cast away
From large right whale of, say,
40 to so feet in length, about $50 bar
reIs OF oil and one and threc-quartcr
tons Of balccn. or whalebone, may he
obtained. The remainder Of the gigan-
tic carcass, which may be as much as
50 tons, has hitherto been considered
useless.
The average whale hide, II laid out
on the ground, would cover 4 surface
of nearly 1900 square feet. at which
rate one whale, if its hide could be
made into boots and shoes, would well
stock a West End boot shop.
IT is also hoped that the intestines Of
The whale will be made rcmuncrative.
This product is described as very thin
and tough, and suitable for glove man
ufacturers.
Regarding the use Of whale for
glove making. a Leicester Square firm
gave their opinion that the only sat
isfactory skin yet found for fine gloves
is gaatsEin.
"It is not unlikely, however" they
said, that the whale intestine could
be manufactured into good motoring
and driving gloves. for which reindeer
at present holds the field against all
other skins.
AT various times many skins have
been tried, such as the skins of croco-
dies. cats. pigs, calves. lambs and
even rats. Many of the mems cheap
dress gloves on the market are made
in Naples of the skins of the local
sewer rats. But practically all the
skins mentioned have been found
treacherous. Glove skins must not
only be pliable. but also perfectly
tough ard firm. since they have to be
sewn UP right at the edge. If whale
intestines be found to possess these
three qualities. no doubt there would
quickly be a market for whale gloves"
