SYNOPSIS.

Burton H. Barnes, a wealthy American
touring Corsica, rescues the young Eng
hsh lieutenant, Edward Gerard Anstruth-
o., and his COrsican bride, Marina,
daughter of the Paolis, from the MUIR
uercus vendetta, understanding that his
reward Is to be the hand of the girl he
loves Enid Anstruther, sister of the Eng
lish lieutenant. The four fly from Ajac-
clio to Marseilles on board the French
steamer Constantine The vendetta pur-
sues and as the quartet are about to
board the train for London at Marseilles,
Marina Is handed a mysterious note
which causes her to collapse and necessi-
tateS pOstpOnement of the journey.
Barnes gets part of the mysterious note
and receives letters which inform him
that he is marked by the vendetta. He
employs an American detective and plans
to beat the vendetta at their own game.
For the purpose of securing the safety
or the women Barnes arranges to have
Lady Chartris lease a secluded villa at
Nice to which the party is to be taken
IN Il yacht. Suspicion is created that
Marina is in league with the Corsicans
man, believed to be Corregio Danella,
~ seen passing the house and Marina Is
thought to have given him a sign Ma
rina refuses to explain to Barnes which
fact adds to his latent suspicious. Barnes
plans for the safety of the party are
learned by the Corsicans. The carriage
carrying their party to the local landing
is followed by two men. One of the
horsemen is supposed to Ne COrregi0.
They try to murder the American. The
cook on the yacht-a Frenchman-is sus-
pected of completely in the plot. Tho
party anchors at St. Tropez. The yacht
is followed by a small boat. The cook is
detected giving signals to the boat.
Barnes attempts to throw him overheard,
but is prevented by Marina and Enid.
The cook is found to be innocent of the
supposed plot and is forgiven.

laughs Burton. "And your other ad-
mirers?" his tone is insinuating. "You
cannot persuade me you hadn't more
than one, Lady Chartris."
"Oh, several, but IL don't like to
speak about them" The widows face
becomes rosy.
A good deal of this has been said
as Prunella has been showing Mr..
Barnes about the pretty house, and he
has inspected the rooms set apart for
Edwin and his bride and Miss An
struther.
Then, despite his hostess sugges.
ton, for Lady Chartris has lovely
chamber overlooking the water for
him who is really the master of the
villa, Burton selects for his own use
much inferior bedroom, but one that
gives him commanding view of all
the country lanes that lead to the
grounds.
Seeing that everything is all pre-
pared, I'll bring Marina, Miss An
struther and Edwin on shore this even
ing. Please make no preparations for

TRICK EVERYBODY CAN DO.
Whoever Wants to Hypnotic Must
Learn the Technique.

OF course, whoever wants to hypno-
tize-in fact, no one but a physician
ought to do it-must learn the tech
nique and apply it patiently and skill
fully, says Hugo Munsterberg, in Nc
Clure's. And certainly there are in
dividual differences. Not every one
can be deeply hypnotized; with not
few the inhibition goes no further
than the inability to open the eyes,
while only one out of four enters into
strong hypnotic hallucinations. Fur
Their, not every one is well prepared
to awaken that confidence which is
essential and that feeling of repose
which guides one over to the dream
state; the look. the voice, the gestures.
the phrases, the behavior. of certain
persons make them poor hypnotizers.
however well they may understand the
tricks. But in principle everybody
can hypnotic and can be hypnotized,
just as in principle everybody can

mysterious power Il needed to tall Il

us. Treat us all en- famille l think
Ill go down to my boat" says Mr..
Barnes.
AS he leaves the house he asks:
Are there any letters for me?"
why, yes. A Mr.. Emory, who acts
as your agent, presume-he paid your
bill at the Grand hotel-came to me as
I was leaving Marseilles and asked me
to deliver this personally" Lady
Chartris runs upstairs, and returning,
places an epistle in Burton's hand,
adding: Here is also another ad-
dressed in the same hand that arrived
three days ago, under enclosure to
me-" The contents of the first makes
him knit his brows.
1t reads:
Marseilles, May q. 1885,
My Dear Mr.. Barnes:
/ send this by Lady Chartris. Any fur
Their communications until I again see
you will be mailed under cover to that
lady, as I dare not give our adversary
any chance of finding your location by
the post, for we have to deal with some-
body whose deviish ingenuity beats that
OF Old Nick himself. The way he SUBJ
stituted his own assassns in place of the
two Trenches I had hired to ride be-
hind your carriage and guard you when
you left Marseilles, will prove this.
He must have got onto me Immediate
ly after you employed me. Someone must
have followed you and seen our chat at
the Hotel des Deux- Mondes and guessed
that you engaged me. All that day I
must have been Swallowed so slick I
never suspected it. BY this means they
must have guessed that hired Jamieson's
yacht for you and the men to guard you
to the embarkation. Any way, the two
Frenchmen, who were to see you safe,
while waiting for you and party to get
into your carriage, left their nags at the
door of a wine-shop just around the cor
ner from your hotel, in the Rue du Mu-
see, and stepped in to drink and that is
the last either of the buns know about
anything until they woke up with a
laundering headache and were told they
had been asleep in the wine-shop for the
last six hours.
When they came out, about midnight,
they found their nags waiting for them,
but so bunged up they must have carried
the two men after you till they jumped
me at the ROucas Blanc. I have uues-
toned them and they admit that a by
stander asked them to drink wine with
him.
In addition, If it isn't too late, I want
to warn you about the cook for the Sea-
gull, whom Graham hurriedly engaged.

Huge Bald Eagle Fights Hunter.

Huge Bald Eagle Fights Hunter.
Charles Keuch of East Litchfeld.
Conn.,, who has hunted in Maine and
in Texas, had an experience few
days ago which surpassed anything
he had known in his life before, &C.
cording to the New York Herald.
As he was feeding his pigs he heard
his pointer dog bowling with pain
and on turning saw the animal being
lifted from the ground in the talons of
a bald eagle. Keuch attacked the bird
with a trowel, whereupon the eagle
dropped the dog and turned it's atten-
ton to the man.
For ten minutes Ksuch had to
work hard, but finally succeeded In
getting In blow on the head which
stunned his antagonist. after which
he killed it. The bird measured eight
feet six inches across the outspreac
wings and six feet from head to tail.
Up to few years ago there was a
law against killing eagles, but it was
repealed at the instance of a Stoning-
ton man who said the birds were dan
gerous down his way. This is the
first recorded instance in Connecticut
where q man has had to kin one In
self-defense.

Then he opens the second letter
from the American detective, dated
June I'd. 1t contains a receipted

Yet, while thus every one can exert
hypnotic influence, no one can do it
by mere glance. All the stories of
secret influence by which one mans
will gets hold of another mans mind
are remains Of the mesmeric theories
of the past. To-day we know that
everything depends upon the attention
and imagination of the hypnotized, and
that no mysterious fluid can flow over
from the mind Of the hypnotist to the
mind OF the subject. The old mystical
view Of unscientiflc superstition
reached its climax in the prevalent be-
lief that q man could exert secret in.
fuence from distance, without tho
victims knowledge Of the source OF
the uncanny distortion OF his mind.
According to this belief, every heinous
crime might be committed under that
cover; the distant hypnotizer could
indict pain and suffering on HID
enemy, and could misuse the innocent
% instruments Of his criminal
schemes.

who kissed her sure; but whether her
hand or her lips, couldn't see," grins
the girl.
Indeed, who is the ardent gallant"
sneers Barnes, indifferently.
The answer that comes strikes the
Americans nerve centers.
Count Corregio Cipriano Danella,"
remarks Miss Chartris, affably. "You
know his poor brother, Musso, is dead"
what, the fellow who gave Marina
the letter in the Marseilles depot that
made her faint?" The light of battle
springs into Barnes face. ''You put
me within ten PAGES of that gentleman
with the scar over his eye, Maudie," he
remarks slowly, "and you shall die Of
bonbons."
Here Miss Chartris shocks his nerve
centers again.
"Oh, he's not scarry at ALL" cries
Maud, Indignantly. THAT dissipated
looking creature is not Corregio Cipri-.

didn't give anything away"
'Then you have the other part?"
Buttons tone is so searching, his
manner so severe that Maud dare not
tell him, and falters out lie: "Of
course, I haven't. Didn't I tell you I
only picked up what gave you?"
Barnes has risen and is striding de-
terminedly back to the house, a definite
resolution upon his set face.

whose arms are not quite so white

Apropos the latter let me suggest
that a regular course of friction witt

The oil should first be thoroughly well
rubbed into the skin with firm cir.
cular motion, and the arms should
then be briskly frictioned. from
shoulder to wrist, with a rubber skin

be regular and sufficiently prolonged.

Graphic Battle Picture.

In Lew Wallace's autobiography ap-
pears this battle picture: Then at q
signal-a bugle call probably-the
army having attained it's proper front,
it started forward slowly at first. Sud.
denly, after the passage of space, arms
were lifted, and, taking to the double
quick, the men raised their battle cry,
which, sounding across the held and
intervening distance, rose to me on
the height, sharper, shriller and more
like the composite yelling of wolves
