Two minutes passed The drop
It was water. The next two minutes
passed In terror the torture OF the Oft
repeated story OF Chinese punishment
dripping water, drop by drop, upon
the head OF a criminal. 1t was WORSE
than b experience or INDIAN Joe,S
related by Mark Twain In the adven-
ture Of Tom Sawyer.
Drop HE Only Salvation
Robertson felt that while he waited
the pyramids might have been built,
Troy overthrow and the foundations
OF Rome laid.
Once the drip Of the water was
gauged, Robertson rested. In the dark
ness OF the foul Observation-Disclosures the
only possible lei OF escape was q
small Observation-Disclosures almost
smiled. All thought OF escape waa
gone now. Robertson had passed tina
stage OF thinkig all except n
thought--water. Hour after hour he
waited. Once every two minutes that
drop OF salvation slipped down the
corroded pipe and fell into his mouth
Once He Misses Drop
Once-this was on the third day
he missed a few drops. Worn by hin
long vigil. he rolled TO n side. Sew
eral drops fell on his ear ~ he slept
Robertson broke down and wept. He
slept with his mouth open. After the
hrst two or three days. he says. this
was no difficulty.
His whole mind and body was cen

Robertson began to count Finally
he could keep time and knew just
when the drop was going to fall.
Toward the last he did not move.
He counted slowly. When he reached
the Zoo" the drop fell. When he
slept he counted TO himself.

Some workmen. looking through the
old building TO see from what point
they might begin to tear II down, slid
through the basement window. with
some difficulty they entered the place.
The first or them had an electric pock-
ct lamp. He flashed It,

His light had fallen on the spot un-

A bit later their work took them to
that side Of the basement. Passing
the spot under the leaking pipe the
first worker kicked at the rags.

ALL DAY HAS
BECOME AN ALL DEVILS
NIGHT OF MUCH REVEL

Doubtless little Abel rubbed his grimy
fists In his eyes and sobbed ~inconsoI-
ably on Halloween when he discovered
there YVES no garden gate at tho Eden
place.
Sages have written that the holiday
Halloween, was not invented, but that
IT developed. Once II was called "AIl
Hallows Day" and the night before
the day was the hallowed evening. In
more modern English It rs, "An Saints
Day" Those superstitious forefathers
or ours back on the island empire long
ago evolved the idea that II witches.
imps, and fairies, ever invaded the
earth 1t would be on Halloween. Most
likely the Irish were responsible. Any
way, they provided the imp theory, and
thoughtful growing generation hast
ened to furnish the imps. There has
been no shortage In that latter COM
modify. since.
Half Baked lmps Have Partiea
Today 1t Is the custom OF lmps, when
they begin to outgrow their excessively
mischieyous habits, to attend masdu-
Grade balls and parties. and otherwise
obtain outlets for effervescent spirits
that just can't help bubbling over on
Halloween. The weeuing process Is
unusually very successful, and an ex-
imp of 30 years often has been known
to soundly spank an imp OF 10 for
helping to carry on the work to which
he. himself. had once been so xeaIously
devoted.
on October 81 this year, many balls
and parties viii be given In Sioux City.
Masquerade balls, as usual, will DO
vastly popular. Also, II is likely that
imps and fairies will be abroad, despite

LosT--A ROMANTIC ACTOR.
ny Otis Skinner In Harper's
Weekly.

by Otis Skinner In Harper's
Weekly.
The voice OF passion often
cries within him, but like the
starting. IL can't get out. In
the present mode OF stage
management the free express
son OF emotion Is often pIo-
hibited, but by FAR the greater
bar lies In the poverty Of OPP
portnnities for such demon
dramatists; they are afraid of
frankness In a love scene, and
Romeo. even though he sigh
like q furnace, cannot make
bricks without straw:
Perhaps the pendulum of the
stage fashion will swing back
again--it has a way Of doing
such things-and give US a.
renascence OF tender emotions
and their expression. II would
be a great relief from the plays
filled with politicians, crooks,
cadets, white slaves, gunner,
Rrafters, gamblers, saloon
keepers and detectives that are
fretting their hour-let us pray
Il be a brief hour-upon the
stage.
The announcement that va
rious producers are making
for the present season lead to
q suspicion that such rena-
scence may not be far distant.
II wflI be welcomed by every
cne-the public. the critic. the
actor and above ell by the
producer OF plays who may
plan q process OF cultivation
for the benefit OF the young
men and women who feel IL
all. and cannot express II, and
who ono day may learn this
at OF putting II over the
footnsnts.

BLIND MANS SIGHT RESTORED
Piece of cornea From Dead Animal, Transplanted, Is Hailed as IrI
 umph of Surgery.

The French Academy of Sciences an rounces the success of an operation on a blind man, performed seven months aga and watched carefully ever since.
 A workman had an eye burned by uuicklime, go that the cornea had be. come opaque. It has long been the dream of scientists to transplant the cornea from animals to man, but so fa' this has been tried without success.
 This transparent cornea is one Of the most delicate parts of the human organism. Very soon after death, or after the removal of the eye from living person, for that matter, 1t be- comes opaque and begins to break up
 But M. Magitet has found way to preserve it's transparency In the case in question it had been kept week before a piece of it was fitted into the depression made by removing . quar- ter-inrh square section of the cornea of the blind mans eye.
 Now. after seven months observa' ton by the surgeon, the eye Is pro nounced we'll, and he can see with il -dimly, it is true. but still he sees.
