by the faith of the patient.
The popularity of the various forms
OF faith-healing is thus not hard to
understand. The body is the slave OF
the mind. To imagine yourself III is
actually to be i'll. To win yourself wcIl
is often to become well.
It. has now been made an open
question whether the presence and
the drugs Of the physician are not OF
importance primarily because they ex.
cite faith. We know that broken legs
are not set by faith, or decayed
tooth removed by the mere desire to
have good teeth.' But it is certain

Apostle Paul as "the substance oe

The power of aspiration and the

WILLIE lDBNTIFDIS THE MAN.
The father Of the boy who was
stolen then agreed TO have Willie
see the man and woman. An hour
or more later Mrs. Whltla, their
children and Janttor Sloss appeared
before the chief OF police.
The man was the first one taken
before them. Boyle was little pale
and nervous. There was faint
smile upon his lips. He was seated
before the party, which formed a
onmi-eirele in front of him.
Chief Kohler asked Willie IL he
had ever seen the man before.
''Swre," said Willie Brightly.
HWhy that ls the man I left Sharon
with He took me TO Cleveland,
then to Ashtabula and back To-
Cleveland" The boy was asked the
some question plgaln to make cer-
tain on his memory, and again the
LAD declared ne WITS positive.
HHe had a mustache when I
first saw him at the sehoolhouse,"
Willie supplemented, nbut he must
have cut it of later. This Is the
way he looked when | last seen
him In Cleveland
Boyle smiled sarcastically throueh-
out the recital but said not a word
We eyed his accusers dehantly.

When Willie concluded, Boyle was
taken back to his cell and the wo-
man was brought in.
She was defiant and naughty i'm
her demeanor. Blankly she started
.at Whitla and the other members Of
the party. Her only relapse from the
indignant manner was when she
first saw Willie The woman smil-
ed.
Immediately Willie walked up to
her and, extending his hands, said;
'How do you do?"
FHello, Willie" the woman re-
piled, as she placed her hand upon
his head and caressed him for an
instant.

The boy then stepped back to his
Father and was asked several ques-
tons by the chief or police.
"Hes, knew her" he said She
was the nurse who took care OF me

Notwithstanding the woman's for
mer assertion that There would be
a sentation when she was identified
or when Whitla saw her, she ana
looked at each other without
any outward evidence of recogni,
tion. They did not speak TO each
other, Neither did she speak with
any OF the other members OF the
party.
AFTER the brief examination by
tne CHIEF, the woman was taken

that the grand jury was taking the
matter up merely as a precaution,
as there We're no present intentions
Of prosecuting the prisoners here.
1T would be better If they were
tried in pennsylvania, as the laws in
that state are much moro severe, the
extreme penalty for kidnapping being
life imprisonment" the prosecutor
said. rThat is what they deserve, If
guilty. For that reason, they will
be taken to Sharon for trial first. II
for any reason they escape punish
ment there, they cannot escape en-
tirely, a. we could arrest them and
try them on the charge of black
mail. We shall watch the case close
ly.
While tie grand jury was eNamin-

in the witness room with his mother
When asked about his experiences
with the lildnapers he talked with
frankness.

make no comment regarding the
woman under suspicion.
The movements of the Whitla
party were greatly hampered at tho
police station, A laiige crow greet
ed them at the depot when they ar
rived. There was another jam at
the hotel Thousands OF persons
followed the party's every move-
ment. At the police station tins
officers had difficulty IN handling
the throngs, The steps outside
and the corridors inside were pack

When leaving the station Mr..
Whitla picked Willie up and placed
him on his shoulder. the polioe
formed wedge in front, and with
a football rush they hurried out.
AS they passed along the corridor
the crowd shouted Hello Willie"
Many attempted TO touch him
and other tried to shake his hand
Leaving the station, the Whitlah
were rushed to the courthouse in
automobiles In charge OF Sheriff
who previously had serv-
ed a summons upon Mr.. Whitla
and his son to appear before the
grand jury
Their appearance before the jury
was brief. Earlier in the day ar

That there would be an effort TO
