Comedian Proved to BE the RIoht
Man In the RIGHT Place on
This Occasion.

Natural aptitude to grasp situa-

than once on the stage, and in one
case, if the veracity Of favorite
comedian goes for anything, it saved
panic and possible loss of life.
1--WE were playing one-night
stands" said he, Gin Kansas during
the terrible period Of cyclones, and
found ourselves in a large, dilapidat-

alter.
"The low comedian was on the
stage in the part of a drunken hus-
band receiving a vigorous lecture
from his wife. Madam he had
just observed, if you keep on you'll
talk the roof off, when there was a
roar heard, followed by a tremen-
dous crash, the building swaying like
a tree in a storm. The people
jumped to their feet, for they saw
the roof had been carried away.
They were about to turn and make a
dash for the exits when the come
dian, coming down to the footlights,
looked up into the air and quick as
flash he turned to the lady and
said: There! What did l tell your

George Harbottle, a laborer at a
Northumberland quarry, possesses a
memory which retains an indelible
impression of every word which he
hears or reads, says the Northwestern
Gazette. After once hearing read, or
reading himself, half dozen book
pages Of any kind of matter, he can
repeat them without emitting a sin
gle word.
One one occasion a man who knew
Harbottle bought a pamphlet Of
songs from a street singer, and
wagered him that he could not, with
in 20 minutes, learn and correctly
repeat all the songs. Harbottle re-
peated every song without a mistake
in II minutes. The names of all the
licensed houses in Glasgow were read
out to him three times and he repeat
ed them correctly in the reverse or
der in which they were read out.
Two men read two different para
graphs from two newspapers stimuli
taneously and Harbottle repeated
one paragraph correctly and made
only two mistakes in the other-a
remarkable feat. His foreman one
day showed him a book containing
the record Of his seven workmates for
eight months. 1t was at the dinner
hour and the men were all sitting in
group. In ten minutes, from men,
DRY, Harbottle told each man what
he had done and the wages he had
earned during each week of the pre-
vious eight months.
Being an illiterate man, he can
do nothing with figures, but other
wise his abnormal power seems to
triumph over the most severe tests to
which it can be put.

eoroery SO Practlcsd IN Southern M
aeria Remains . Mystery Despite
Investigation.

The sorcery Of southern Nigeria
is still very much of a mystery to
the white man. To be sure, he
knows that when a native is Ju-
Jued, or called" and promptly dies,
there is some good explanation
(good, that is, in the sense of nat
ural) Of the fatality. But whether
the Ju-Ju deaths are psychological,
the result of suggestion in a grossly
superstitious brain, or have some
more material cause in the shape of
poison cleverly and secretly admin
istered, he cannot say. Mr.. E. Day
rell, a district commissioner in that
benighted country, who has made a
special study of the folklore and
unique superstitions of the region,
has recently published a series of
Ikom folk-stories and some new OBJ
servations on human sacrifices and
Ju-Ju.
He throws no new light, however,
on the explanation of JULIUS eff
eacy. 1t seems incredible, he says,
that young and healthy native can
die because a Ju-Ju has been made
against him-"for example, two
sticks crossed on the path, with, say,
a rotten egg and a fowl stuck on a
stick, the mans name having been
called" And yet there are numer-
Gus instances where to all appear
ances this primitive Mumbo-Jumbo
has struck down its victims as GER
tainly as stroke of lightning. Mr..
Dayrell suggests a poison explana-
ton, but says proof of his theory is
difficult to get, and apparently he
has none to offer in its support

as the voice of a distant but raging
sea, a roar that steadily arose to the
mighty voice of Niagara or the roar
of a battlefield wherein all human
voices were drowned as the cataract
or battlefield browns the squeak of
mice. The earth rocked as a cradle,
and Alan rising with difficulty to his
feet and starting towards Doris with
wild impulse of protection was near
ly blown away bodily by "a gust of
wind that swept by voicelessly in the
deafening thunder from above. Recov
ering his balance he pushed his way
forward. Tolliver's arm was about her
now, the other hugging the tree, and
by the electric lights of the street
Alan could see the strange light which
blazed in the others eyes and in that
moment would have sworn that Clay
was insane. Doris, seeing him com
ing, wrested herself free from the one
to his arms. Her lips were moving
and he knew that she was trying to
make herself heard, but not the slight
est sound could he catch from her lips.
Closely he clasped her, trying in his
turn to shout words Of encouragement
into her ears.
Another blast, spinning them about,
nearly blew them apart and they in
stinctively sank upon the ground side
by side, clutching each other and
gasping for breath. In a wink the
electric lights went out and all be-
came darkness, cavernous darkness
filled with cyclonlc winds, earth quiv-
erings, throbbings and roar SO
mighty that it seemed to crowd ali
space. Then the wind ceased and
from above there sank upon them
mighty weight, soft and yielding as If
they had been buried beneath a great
heap of feathers, a weight which new
ertheless seemed about to force the
blood from their nostrils, and beneath
it both man and woman felt their
senses reel. Then as the darkness of
oblivion came settling upon their
brains the pressure gradually grew
less, vanished altogether and they
found themselves struggling for
breath in an absence of. air where
moment before their lives were being
crushed out by it's terrific compress
sion. Gasping like fish upon bank
they threw themselves upon their
faces as they fought vainly for breath
until with myriads Of lights flashing
before their eyes consciousness left
them and they lay motionless.

+ at the one who had come to him from
out of the darkness as though trying
to recall a familiar face for the mo-
ment forgotten, then he spoke in
low, strange voice like one who talks
in his sleep. "Oh yes, | know you
now. You are my old friend March.

Come with me. There must be other

grounds, coming across the forms OF
their fellow guests at every few steps
Some still remained inert, some were
sitting up in dazed way. while others
were already upon their feet directing
their way to the will-o'the-wisp lantern
light which fitted about the lawn. In
the course of the next few minutes
they had also found dozen OF the
lanterns which had not been torn to
pieces or blown from their fastenings
upon the trees, and these they lighted
and distributed to the ever increasing
searching party. 1t had been case
of suffocation into insensibility in
partial vacuum which had followed
the departure of the great weight.
condition which had only prevailed for
a very few minutes, and with the re-
turn of the normal quantity of air the
victims had quickly recovered with
the exception of Mrs. Emmonds. She
had been in a faint and breathing but
feebly when the crucial moment ar
rived, and Doctor Raymond, who was
among them now, pronounced her
dead. Silently they bore her within
the house, found the telephone to be
unresponsive to their appeals, and
leaving two Of the women beside her
they returned to the lawn. They
were still partially dazed and wholly
awe stricken and moved about half
automatically as though just recovs
ering from an anaesthetic.
The electric lights which for some
reason had gone out in the early
stages of the disturbances were now
burning as brightly as ever again, and
from all sides came the sounds OF a
city temporarily stricken returning to
bewildered life, the shouts Of men, the
cries of women, the barking of dogs.
the cackle of fowl. Someone suggest
ed that inasmuch as there must have
been considerable loss of life In the
tumultuous winds when many of the
flimsier buildings must have gone
down, it was clearly their duty to try
and assist those less fortunate then
themselves. Professor Desmond an.
swered him.
What you have said is undoubtedly
true, yet at the same time there may
be serious riots as the result of a
like this. Gangs of vandals
are apt to form after great panics
while the people are still dazed, and
taking advantage of conditions commit
all sorts Of depredations-as for in
stance in times of armed attacks upon
cities or after great fires or floods.
Therefore at such times it is man's

together among the trees. leaving the
others in little clusters to resume
their speculations or once more take
up their lighter talk and restless wan
derings.
For the second time that evening
Alan found himself temporarily alone
with his hostess. She was dressed in
pure withdrawals fayorite color up
on her--a quaint heirloom of uncer-
tain history upon her bosom. Her
eyes were full of seriousness. her fair
skin even trifie fairer than usual as

CHAPTER III.
The Flying Man.

It was perhaps five minutes later
that Alan came into a certain posses
sion of his senses, not fully as one
may do who awakens from faint, but
rather with gradual return to normal
understanding through which period
he had grotesque dreams, saw visions
and seemed to exist for long periods
in unfamiliar worlds. Then as full
consciousness became his again he sat
up. There was strong wind blowing
once more, gale in fact, but it was
now coming steadily instead of in 81.
gantic gusts and the roar from above
had diminished to the long. dull rum
BILE of dying thunder. All was yet in
darkness so dense that he could not
see his hand before his face.
For a moment he sat quietly as his
brain tried to grasp the full signifi-
canoe of all that had happened. his
name, his whereabouts, the cause Of
the blackness, the roar and the wind.
All, he had it now The collision. 1t
had evidently taken place and he was
still alive-Doris! His heart leaped to
his throat and he went fumbling over
the ground on his hands and knees In
blind search for her. His touch fell
upon her still lying PROSTATE, and
placing his arm under her he raised
her to sitting position. feeling of her
face as he did 80. Thank all things
she was alive and now even able to
move a bit. He drew her gently to
him until her head rested against his
shoulder where he held her with his
arm clasped about her waist. He
could feel the deep and rapid pulsing
of her bosom and knew that she was
breathing systematically as though
greatly exhausted, realizing for the
first time that he, also, was painting
as after severe race. He spoke to
her with an effort and after few
fruitless trials succeeded in making
himself heard. He asked her If she
was much hurt or in pain and she
shook her head against his shoulder In
a negative.
He became conscious that something
to which 1t seemed he had always
been accustomed had suddenly abb
scented itself and for a moment pom
dered vaguely as to what it could be.
Oh yes, the roar! 1t was gone now,
the earth was steady beneath them
and the wind almost dead. What had
become of the others OF the party?
He must see at once. He found that
Doris was now able to sit upright with
out assistance, told her to remain
where she was until he returned, and
got upon his feet. AS he did 30 he
saw light flicker a short distance
away and moment later the flame of
a Japanese lantern revealed the set
face of Desmond. Alan went hurrying
up to him.
For moment the professor stared

felt it also, for in their eyes was a
wildness such as he had never be-
fore seen in human beings, fear that
no savage horde bearing down upon
them with naked weapons could have
inspired. Rather it was the grisly ter
ror of those who have wandered far
into the evil haunts OF the nightmare;
the sweating horror of humanity who
believe themselves to be at the mercy
of the supernatural. Then the earth
shudder ceased and they stood staring
at each other with faces that were
dazed and blanched. Alan suddenly
realized that he was supporting the
dead weight of tainted woman and
lowered her gently to the grass.
THE first slight CONFUSION" said a
quiet voice, and all eyes turned upon
the speaker. 1t was Professor Des-
mond. and though his face was pale
as well as theirs he was by far the
most composed one of those present
