voyancy had gained the confidence Of
clients, and she had induced them to
invest in worthless stocks and bonds
owned by outside confederates. The
Oldest Man in the World was really
a patriarchal individual, and had once
been one of the living curiosities of
big travelling circus outfit. Nirvasa
was a grade above the average for
tune teller. She really possessed a
fair clairvoyant power. At one city
she had established cult, had collect
ed several thousands of dollars, and
then with her combination had faded
away.

Tradition and Good Books.

Good books, like well-built houses,
must have tradition behind them,
writes Henry Seidel Candy In the Yale
Review. The Homers and Shake
speares and Goethes spring from rich
soil left by dead centuries; they are
like native trees that grow so well no
where else. The little writers-hacks,
who sentimentalize to the latest order,
and display their plot novelties Ike
bargains on an advertising page-are
lust as traditional. The only differ
ence is that their tradition goes back
TO books instead of life. Middle-sized
authors-the very good and the prob
ably enduring-are successful largely
because they have gripped a tradition
and followed it through to contem-
porary life. That is what Thackeray
did in 'vanity Fair" Howells in THE
Rise Of Silas Lapham" and Mrs. Whar-
ton In 'The House Of Mirth." But
back-to-nature books-both sound ones
and those shameless exposures OF the
private emotions Of ground-hogs ana
turtles that call themselves nature
hooks-are the most traditional OF all.
For they plunge directly into what
might be called the adventures OF the
American subconsciousness.

HE is dead. In arranging to re-
move him one Of the men tipped a
piece of furniture against the glass
globe. The supply of gas was cut off.
He died within the hour.
We stepped into the next room. Mir
vasa had spoken the truth. The great
glass case lay in brittle ruins on the
floor of the room. Two of the servi-
tors were lifting the poor remains of
The Oldest Man In The World into a
long cedar box.
81 have only one request to make,
lfr. Marvel" spoke the woman gravely.
"And what is that?" demanded Mar
vel.
"You jeer at my calling and its ac-
cessories, but at least this old man was
genuine and consistent. / am Hindu
enough to respect a sacred pledge.
whatever charge you may bring
against me, I will stand the penalty.
AS to the victim of an unfortunate ac-
cident, poor Djalma, ask you to let
his remains be shipped to a relative
Of his who is member of Hindu
colony in the east. They will send his
body back to his native land, fam
lily responsibility they treasure and
revere"
Perhaps" said Marvel, steadily
looking into the woman's eyes-"after
an inquest"
Nirvasa started as If scorpion had
stung her. Dismay, disappointment,
defeat were evinced In her features.
She bit her lip and trembled with sup
pressed rage.
"Stand aside" ordered Marvel to the
two servitors. He pushed them away,
and saw him grope within the cedar
chest and his hands move all about
the wasted body of DjalpSa Xiii.
II thought So" he obsetyed quietly,
drawing from under this black, silken
funeral robe of The Oldest Man In
The World little channels bag.
"When / have verified these jewels"
he said to Nirvasa, ''and the $4,000
and Ainslee Druse have materialized,
you and your mountebank accomplices
are free to seek new fields Of business
activity, and we are quits"
We traced Ainslee. DrUse to near
city, where the seance woman had
sent him to get rid Of him while she
and her fellow birds Of Ill omen made
swift fitting. She bought her free
dom by returning the money she had
duped out Of the salIow youth, who
fully understood his past peril when
the efforts of the subtle poison MIR
vasa had given him departed and his
dulled brain was cleared.
The remarkable man, the indomita-
BILE Resilius Marvel, placed his Gus
tomary record Of the case OF The Old

heartfelt gratitude OF. Garnet Druse ns

My friend was silent. There was a
slight curl of disbelief on his lip as
the lady placed her dainty hand on
the crystal globe.

the corner Of the room seated before
a blackboard was Sepoy youth. He

he would chalk a number on the

There were five figures In the chron-

"Oh, yes," smiled Nirvasa, as tran
GULLY as if the simplest, most or
binary statement in the world had
been made. "The young lacy was

those impressionable beings who go
easily into hysterics-you had an ex-

Marvel treated the proposition, was
satisfied in my own mind that the
woman Nirvasa was one of the many
clairvoyants and mystics who made 1T
a business to catch the unwary and
credulous. We regained our machine
without Marvel saying word. He
was silent and thoughtful until we
reached the office of the United Bank
ers' Protective association. He waved
me to seat, went to bookcase, Sc
lected a scrapbook, opened 1t at a
certain page, placed the volume before
me and went to the telephone.
Within five minutes had perused
several old newspaper articles telling
of Nirvasa. She was shrewd adven-
turess, successful amid oriental occult
surroundings. She had been mixed

swept aside final drapery the last
and most remarkable disclosure greet
ed us.
In the center Of room resembling
laboratory was balloon-shaped globe
of glass. It was about ten feet high
and broad enough to contain inside
a chair, a table and a man. From sew
eral iron tanks there ran rubber pipes
to this giant retort.
saThe oldest man in the world" Mir
yasa had said-and 1t seemed possible.
Inside the glass globe, reclining and
engrossed in a time-worn tone bound
in ivory, was the strangest human
being I had ever seen. His skin was
like yellow parchment. His frame
seemed ossified. He had hair and a
beard of faded white sweeping to
his waist. His hands were like claws,
his face beak-like. Only his eyes were
alive-they cleaned like two sparks
of electric fire.

still some ingredient to make his
knowledge so complete that the touch

tanks. 1 will show you."
1 watched with interest as the lady
tapped on hinged section Of the
glass globe, opened it and spoke to
the oldest man in the world. He
reached out and took up a crucible
placing something within 1t, and hand

a prim, severe-faced individual came
to the side of the machine.

Marvel.
We found Nirvasa pacing to and fro

feigned GOODNESS and her wanton smile

Very briefly, very sternly, Marvel de-
manded a knowledge of the where
