said in low tone.

thickly, like a drunken man. A misty
notion of what perhaps had nearly
happened drained the strength from
his body. Snatching the bag from the
officers hand he examined the con-
tents feverishly. There were IA leath-
ern boxes, of varying shapes and
sizes, locked and sealed by means of
strip of gummed paper with his own
name on each of them, just as he had
written it some hours before when he
| took charge of the bag. The blood re-
turned to his cheeks, and with a sigh
of relief from his very heart he placed
the bag In the safe without examining

Out from among the four or five
guests who had been attracted to the
spot by the commotion a physician
stepped at this moment, and after
Sbending over the body moment, said
to the clerk:
"She is in q hypnotic trance. Have
her taken to her rooms at once. Do
you know what doctor she has?"
"She does not believe in medicine
and has no Doctor" responded the
clerk.
Then will attend to her for the

lnasmuch as young Parsons was going
to Paris before going to London he
went with Lozier and registered at the
same hotel with him. They arrived at
ten o'clock in the morning, took al
joining rooms, and, after breakfast, sal
down for smoke and chat. Within
an hour young Lozier died of acute
indigestion and heart failure.
Late in the afternoon Mr. Parsons
set out to call on Jean LoZier and
state the unfortunate condition of at
fairs. He was received with open
arms by Jean Lozier, his wife and tho
beautiful Eugene, and they did not
give him opportunity to state his mis-

With these words, he bowed and de-
parted. Jean Lozier said that his pros

like joking on so grave a subject. The
next day he made inquiry, and found
that the story was true in every par

restraining the hysteria on the verge

figure In white, coming down two

prompted the late Lord Burton to d.
rect by his win TINT his heart should
be removed from his body. has caused
many well known men and women to
order a surgical operation to be PER
formed upon their bodies. Harriet
Martineau left her doctor flo to am

rected that her heart should be pierced
with a needle. The late Edmund
Yates left instructions that his Jugular
vein should be severed. with a provi-
sion that a fee Of 20 ghineas should be
paid for the purpose. Literary persons
