DR.. Loye. French physician, who
greatly interested himself in the ques-
ton, "What passes in the head Of a

following remarkable story, which he
stated was taken from the archives Of
the Vienna courts: 1t was in the year
- that Schoenenburg, well known
bandit, and four Of his associates were
caught and condemned to death. They
were already on their knees ready to
pay the penalty Of their bloody deeds
by submitting to the awful fate Of de-
capitation when Schoenenburg address,
ed the Judge, asking that his four COM
panions might be pardoned on certain
conditions. "If," asked the bandit,
"after I am beheaded I get up and
walk to the first of my comrades. will
you pardon himT The Judge thought
that he was pretty safe In complying
with the request. "Then," continued
Schoenenburg, III walk to the sec
ond, the third and the fourth, will you
pardon them also~ The Judge replied
that II such miraculous feat could
be performed he would obtain pardons
for the. other three also. The bandit
was now satisfied, and, bending his
head, he received the fatal blow. In
stantly the head rolled down In the
sand, but to the surprise and horror Of
all present the headless trunk arose
and walked alone. Aimlessly, It ap-
peared, the body walked around until
It passed the first, the second, the third
