THE MAN WITH
 THE EYES.

[Copyright, 1908, by T. C. McClure.l
 One day as a Scotland Yard detective was lounging in the corridor of a Liver pool hotel he noticed the individual who afterward became known in police records as the man with the eyes He was medium sized man, slim in build and had the look of a college professor There was nothing to dis tinguish him from other gentlemen ex- cept his eyes. They were large and black in color, and as he accidentally brushed against the detective and stop ped to apologize and looked him im the face for moment the officer felt a peculiar thrill. He felt that the stran ger had seen clear through him, so to say. He had sufficient curiosity to as certain that the gentleman had register ed as coming from York and that his name was Burton.
 Three days later curious case was recorded at the Yard Richard White, a hard headed country squire, told a story that the officers were inclined to believe was pipe dream. Had it been an ordinary man they would have smiled in his face. He set out from London for Liverpool and occupied a compartment with one other person. This person bore the description of the man with the eyes. The squire busied himself looking over some letters for half an hour after boarding the train and then looked up to find the other staring at him. He said that he felt an ''infuence' at once. The feeling was that he had lost his identity and was some one else.
 "Your name is Sudley," said the man after moment
 "Yes; 1t is Sudley.'
 You are not feeling well today"
 No, I'm not"
 "You are going to sleep, and you will wake up feeling better, but first give me your watch and money"
 The squire stood up and handed over everything He knew what he was doing, but it seemed to him to be the thing to do.
 Now lie on the seat; go to sleep"
