THE MAN WITH
THE EYES.

One day as Scotland Yard detective
was louhging in the corridor of Liver
pool hotel he noticed the individual
who afterward became known in police
records as the man with the eyes, He
was a 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 We're large and
black in color, and as he accidentally
brushed against the detective and stop
ped to apologize and looked him in the
face for a 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 a curious case was
recorded at the Yard. Richard White,
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
compartment with one other person.
This person bore the description of the
man with the eyes. The squire busted
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 influence" at once. The feeling
was that he had lost his identity and
was some one else.
"Your name is Sudley," said the man
after q moment.
Eyes; it is Sudley."
"You are not feeling we'll today"
mo, 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"
The squire stretched out, and the
next thing he knew guard was try
ing to arouse him, and it was an hour
later. The man with the eyes was no
longer in the compartment. That was
the story, and it puzzled the officers

awakened, aroused womanly intuition,
chastity and hatred. What she saw
was determination, pleading.
She yielded not bit to him.
The red haired Irish shopgirl was
like the embodiment of an age of
Celtic queens. He wanted to crush
her, to devour her.
And still she said not q word, but
looked and looked at him steadily,
coldly, dominatingly. He met her gaze
with equal fortitude. 1t was as If the
souls Of the man and woman were in
visual combat

bling, humble voice. LET me take you

Kate, finging herself on her knees be-
side his bed, commenced to smother
him with kisses.

sleepily. "What'd you - bring me-,
Kate?"
'These," she replied, spreading an
array Of trinkets and souvenirs Of the
day out upon the bed-'these. dear

The boy was asleep again when she
added sobbingly-"and your sister,"

And he rose up, turned around and
looked the officer full in the eyes. The
latter tried to reach out and grab his
man and break the influence" but it
was In vain. He tried to turn i1is head
away, but he could not
"You need Sleep" said the man with
the eyes.
'YeS."
"Cndress and go to bed. Don't linger
over it,
The officer removed his clothes and
got into bed.
'Now shut your eyes and sleep for
two hours"
The eyes closed, and it was two
hours later when they opened again.
The man with the eyes was gone He
had taken with him the officers badge
and small sum Of money and had cut
the victims clothes into shreds. That
was his last crime in England. He was
looked for for the next year, but in
vain. The theory at the Yard was that
he was some student of hypnotism
making experiments and at the same
time raising the necessary capital to
fix himself financially in another coun-i

was pointed out that a thief would

case and did some work, but he got no
further clew to the man with the eyes.
A man was instructed to watch the
trains and functions on the road where
the first robbery occurred, and he put
in two months without meeting with
his man or without hearing of another
case of "eyes." Then he followed a
man from a junction to hotel, and,
being almost positive of his quarry, he
called on the man in his room. He
found him unstrapping his valise and

Electricity From Human Body.

That electricity, heat and ether are
one and the same fluid Is the assertion
Of Frederick Hovendon of London, who
also claims that every person exhales
electricity from the finger tips and
that he can take moving pictures Of
the process. TO do this he fills square
glass box with cigarette smoke mixed
with air. The experimenter thrusts a
finger through hole in the bottom of
the glass box, and powerful arc lamp

the result that he was defeated by a

church people was that they could not

Make the Most of Picknlcs.

The long summer days are again
here and the season suggests picnics.
There is no more pleasant way of
spending an afternoon than at a pic
mic. This affords an easy and agree
able way of being sociable. With par
ties or sociables the work of enter
tanning falls upon one or two, while
In the picnic each person contributes
to the dinner and each person is re-
sponsible for his or her entertain
ment
Anything In the way Of refreshments
may be taken to the picnic but some
things are more appropriate than 9th
ers. Cold tea, salad dressings, olives,
pickles, etc, are nearly always includ-
ed in picnic lunches because they can
be carried in sealed cans. Deviled
eggs, canned meats, etc, also form a
part of the usual picnic lunch. We
think Of the things that are easily
carried and that can be served with
the fewest dishes.
Informality is the keynote to the
pleasure derived from a picnic. PEG
pie are always ready for good time
and go to picnics for that purpose
Anyone who feels that his food must
be served In order and who does not
feel able to come down to usual pic
mic style, had better absent himself
from same as he will not enjoy himself
or add any merriment to the party
Picnic style has it's own attraction
and to rob it of its individuality would
be to spoil 1t entirely. We should en-
courage picnics; it is good for people
to meet in this informal way and to
eat out in the open air. Many seem to
think that one must necessarily go for
some distance-to a lake or to park
or some resort. It is always pleasant
when this can be done but it is not
necessary; there are always many
pretty places near at hand. 1t is I'M
necessary for anyone to do lot OF
extra work for a picnic; plain, whole
some things that will satisfy good
healthy appetites are all that are need
ed Make the most of picnics, enjoy
the summer months, enjoy your
friends and get together. That Is
what makes life worth living.

Agricultural Colleges.

When the great agricultural, manu-
featuring and housekeeping masses get
together in earnest, and with an In
telligent purpose to improve their con
dition, they will receive the hearty Co
operation and assistance of the learn

for one Is good for all
Agricultural colleges are a rather
recent innovation. Fifty years ago the
first one In this country was establish
ed at Lansing, Michigan, and one week
ago it's semi.centennial was celebrat-
ed in that city, and was considered an
event worthy of the presence of Presi-
dent Roosevelt, who made an address
which should be read and studied by
all. A friend of mine recently said
OF all the money the State spends,
there is none which begins to yield the
returns of that spent on it's agricul-
tural college,
"It is impossible to estimate the
work that has been done by colleges
the light that has been shed by
them on the important matters in
charge. We only know that 1t has
been great as it has been 1t is but
little more than drop in the bucket

THE MINISTER'S GUEST.
He Came In Hate; He Remained q
Convert Of Love.

The city was passing through Pc
Rod of so-called reform. The minis
ter had conducted an investigation,
and preached sermon In which he de-
nounced the alliance of the officers OF
the law with the breakers of the law
There was protest, ridicNle, charge of
notOrtety- hunting, a demand that he
prove his statements, and then a fee
bic and spectacular attempt at refor-
nation.
The minister's friends were divided
in sentiment. Some said he had acted
unwisely, others commended him for
his courage. A law-and-or league
rallied to his support; money was con-
tributed for the expenses of courts
and publicity; some bad men were
fined; a few notorious places were
closed; the police assumed a temper
airy and reluctant vigilance; and the
world moved on in its accustomed and
Indifferent way.
While the matter was at Its height,
the minister was advised to keep his
study door locked, and to be sure that
the janitor or some other person was
within call whenever he was IN his
study, either alone or with an I'M
known caller; and the advice was not
unreasonable, as two or three expert
ences proved. Yet the minister was
unaccustomed to precautions of this
