NELSON THE SLEEPER
 WOKE UP TO REST
Says He Feels Good But IS Still Under Observation-Remove to pr.
 Bonds Sanitarium.

When the attendants In the sheriff g office began stirring yesterday morning they found Charles Nelson the cham pion mara athon sleeper, sitting up and taking notice. surprised at the un- familiarity of his surroundings and a bit provoked at the tardiness of break fast. As there was no wakeful guard over him his sleeping record cannot be accurately reported. He intimated that he believed he had only been in bed over night and had rather q restless time. He said he first got awake about 1 o'clock. then lay down again for a time and finally got up. dressed and put on his shoes.
 It is not believed however that he is likely to be accurate in respect of the time He had been asleep since Saturday and must naturally have been mixed in his dates and to one waking in the night and waiting for daylight, time naturally passes slowly. It is thought therefore that it was likely nearer 4 o'clock than 1 o'clock when he awoke. According to those who have been watching the case close N Nelson should therefore be credited with about sixty hours in his second installment of sleep, after an hour or two of rest following his first sleep of forty hours.
 He seemed to rather resent the so- licitous inquiries after his health and how he felt after his sleep as anyone would who had just aroused from a normal slumber. His manner was gen. orally quite sulien and suggestive of melancholia and about the only plan he seemed desirous of carrying out was to get back to the home of Niels Pet erson where he was when he first went to sleep
 Dr. Monical who is not the attending physician but who has been watching the case with a great deal of profess sional interest was told that Nelson was awake and weht to see him. He wanted to make a general eXamina- tion but Nelson objected so the doctor did not insist Nelson refused even to show him his tongue and was gener- ally uncommunicative simply saving he felt pretty well and wanted to go home.
 Later in the day MT. Peterson came to see him and Nelson insisted on go- ing home with him but for obvious req sons MT. Peterson did not want him there until his condition is better un- derstood. There are some adhereEts of the theory that the man may have

STRANGE LITTLE BEAST
 AMusEs FORD GUESTS
Frightened Woman Thought There Was Mouse on Her Foot, But
 it Was Only an Armadilio.

4 young woman was dining at the Ford a night or so ago with her escort. Suddenly she stopped eating and look cd at her escort with a dawning terror
 Henry" she said; and then HENRY"
 Henry looked inquiringly al her
 The young woman gave one half embarrassed glance at the others in the dining room and started to climb up on her chair She did not like to stand up. so she just tucked her little feet under her and sat on them while she pulled some fluffy stuff close in. "Oh, chase it away. Henry. do-please-
 She clutched at the table cloth and fearfully lifted up one end and looked down into the dark depths beneath.
 Henry did the same. He peeked un- der the table cloth and then he looked around and smiled. The woman still sat on 'her tootsies with her chin on her knees.
 Then Henrr reached out one of his long legs under the table and gave q side-lOng kick and out on the floor in The electric light there rolled a full grown armadillo. done up in ball-for he was Dla-ing possUm He was as big as a small dishpan. but not quite so large as these grenadier fur hats the ladies are wearing.
 The young woman looked at the ami nal -curiously. She watched 1t slowly unwind itself and then run about the room from one guest to another looking for provender. She sank Tack with a sigh and put her feet on the floor.
 What fright I had, I thought it was d mousse she said, with evident relief.

some form of insanity. in which event he might become violent. though at present he merely seems to be sick and don't know it. A suggestion was made that he be taken to the. asylum for the insane but that could not be done without a commitment and in view of his possible recovery MT. Peterson thought that was not desirable. Fin ally pr. F.. C. Bond was sent for and he agreed to take Nelson to- his san itarium for the time being and await developments.
 Dr. Bond was called up by telephone last night about o'clock and reported that Nelson was still awake and eX- hibiting no unusual symptoms. On iE- quiry pr. Bond said Nelson told him lie had never been a sailor and had never been in Africa. so that if he Is suffefng from the sleeping sickness he must have. got it from some agency other than the tsetse fly. assuming of course that the present remarks of Nelson as to his past career are cor rect and dependable.
 Dr. Monical was asked last night if he had learned anything further about the case. He did not know that Nell son had been taken to the sanitarium but said he was glad of it for he re- garded him as sick man and entitled to better comforts and closer atten- ton than he could receive at the jail. at some place where physician could be in attendance Asked if the fact of his waking up discredited the theory of the sleeping sickness he said it did not. Nature would arouse patient occasionally for the satisfaction of hunger and thirst until he got too weak to be aroused If Nelson has never been in Africa of course he could not have been infected there and it would be unlikely that he had encountered the tsetse fly. Nevertheless the symp- toms are there and it then necessitates looking elsewhere for the cause.
 The doctor added that he had not found the prevalence of the germs in all the blood corpuscles he had exam ined but he had in some of them, and he called attention tc the fact that even in the fatal cases of the disease in Africa these germs. were found in the blood in only seventy per cent of the patients though they were always found in the spinal cord He said a doctor now in the city who has travelled widely in Africa had advanced the theory that many who perhaps en- counter the tsetse fly but once and are but slightly infected. may suffer from the disease more or less without fatal results. after coming to this or some other different climate. finally wearing out the disease.

Cecil and Nancy Hardy numbered him among their

often seemed bored embarrassed by their presence
That spring they had much of Cousin Dick
and had spent many long day at the Grange when

had left Hillborough but since Christmas; for
him it seemed that London had suddenly lost its at

summer trip to the seaside There were few young
folks of their age in the place, and to Cecil and

"And if l can manage it, of you II come L
must have you two with me-.
'Of course we II come, Cousin Dick, - cried they
in a breath. 1t will be such fun. We have
been to see mother in London.'
How Richard CRANE persuaded Miss Hardy to al
low her nephew and niece to go to town in his charge
will never be known, but the squire had a way with
him that hard to withstand and succeeded in eff
fecting his purpose.
The very next Wednesday found CRANE and his
two young cousins in the morning express en- route
for Euson. The children wild with excitement
and in high spirits their companion silent, preoceu-
pied, and perhaps trife nervous.
''Does mother know we re coming, Cousin Dick?''
said Nancy, the train through the northwestern
suburbs, and the hour and half journey all but
ended.

idea, though the originator scarcely satisfied

his marriage, they had lived with their aunt under
the ear of an old who had been their mother
servant.
They were lonely children Their father, naval
officer they had known; their mother they saw
but at the rarest intervals-she so very busy;
and Aunt Margaret, if kind in her stern, odfash-
Toned way knew nothing of the sympathy for which
a child s heart longs.
1t was only upon Mrs Hardy's very occasional Wis
its that an atmosphere of life and of gayey reigned
triumphant in the Laures; the dizziness of Hill
borough vanished before her radiant presence Her
manner was as irresistible the smartness of her
hats and frocks Aunt Margaret herself confessed
with some regret, that her sster-n-law had but to
trip down the main street and every respectable trades
man and dsreputable errand boy would stand agape.
To tell the truth, the children were not quite sure
that their prim old relative was as fond OF their
mother as she ought to be- of that vision OF bright
eyes, waving brown hair and laughing lips. What
pity it was that she always busy this fascinat
ing mother of theirs, away in far-off London, where
every one, it seemed, either busy or beautiful
Not that Constance Hardy forgetfu of her little
ones buried in the country-though a woman may be
very beautiful and busy yet she has mother
heart even in London town. And she sent them sweets
and toys and for the girl the dantest frocks-frocks
that Aunt Margaret altered sadly before her niece
might wear them-and at times quite long letter.
But OH the writing nurse could hardly read it.
