DISEASE CURED BY MACHINE
Apparatus for the Treatment of Cardi- ospasm Is Invented by Emil
 nent Surgeon.

An eminent surgeon, connected with world-renoWned clinic, has devel- oped an apparatus for treating per sons afflicted with cardiospasm, which effects a cure so suddenly that to the layman it appears little short of mirac ulous. Cardiospasm is disease in which a contraction occurs at the point where the esophagus joins the stomach, says Popular Mechanics Magazine. Normally when food enters the lower portion of the esophagus a muscular ring, previously closed, relaxes and allows the food to enter the stomach. In this disease it does not open up normally, and the food is retained above the ring. In some cases huge pouch is formed by the accumulation of food, while the patient slowly starves to death.
 The device which treats the disease so successfully is an expanding dila- tor, which, after being inserted to the contracted point, is distended with water to point where it paralyzes the muscle 4 single treatment or, in rare instances, a few treatments, com pletely relieves the condition. No pain accompanies the use of the dilatOr and no anesthetic is given. .o

remember, you yourself told me that when Miss Blythe was arrested in the museum she suffered herself to be led away as though she were in a coma tose condition"
 "Yes-yes"
 The fact is, MT. Tarrant, that Miss Blythe the governess is not in the least the same personality as Miss Blythe the kleptomaniac, and has no knowl- edge of her. She doubtless realizes that, when these periods of forgetful- ness come on, she commits actions of which she has no waking knowledge, and it is the impossibility of explain ing this to an incredulous world that has led her to suffer in silence rather than attempt to vindicate her reputa- tion Now. with your permission, shall proceed
 Tarrant and I sat down. All this while Miss Blythe had not moved a muscle.
 Give me the amulet, please" said Doctor Immanuel, and MT Tarrant handed it to him with obvious reluc- tance. Had the situation been less dramatic it would have been amusing to see the intense gaze which the mil lionaire kept upon the gem.
 Helen" said Doctor Immanuel, holding up the gem before her, "can you read the inscription on this?"
 No she answered in a voice which seemed disappointingly natural, "It is in Assyrian cuneiform. is it not?"
 "Oh, yes, you can read it." said the doctor coaXingly You are not half asleep yet Go to sleep completely, now"
 He stroked her forehead caressingly, and when he held up the amulet and asked the question again, it was to- tally different voice that answered him sal and strident.
 Why should I read it?" it asked protestingly.
 Read it!" said Doctor Immanuel. No, read it in English"-for the voice had begun to talk in sort of gibber. ish totally unlike any language that had ever heard spoken, and bearing a distant resemblance to what imagine Chinese must be.
 "To the high priest of Marduk in Babylon" whined the voice. Made for and donated by Asshur+Tiglath-- leser, king in Nineveh-"

PAYING HOTEL HAT GIRL
While Resenting the Imposition the Innocent Victim Usually Yields
 Up Tip.

plain citizen frequently eats his monday luncheon off his arm of chair with his hat on his head or on a nearby rack within convenient watching distance. But occasionally there are times when someone of un- wonted prosperity takes him to an- other type of eating place where hats must be surrendered into the arms of a waiting damsel who gives a check in return. You may prefer to carry your hat with you, but she gently in- terposes, and you meekly hand over your headgear, even though you know you will have to pay a minimum of ten cents to her to get back hat for which you have already paid and which you are perfectly able to care for yourself. It seems rather absurd business, remarks a writer in the h. dianapols News. You don't mind help ing to pay the walters salary by leav- ing bit of change on the table; he
 renders an obvious and necessary serv- ice, but paying the girl to hold your hat is another matter. Not that she
 ever asks you for money in return for your hat. She merely hands it to you and smiles, while your hand slips
 mechanically into your pockets and
 the change into hers.
 You may VOW not to do it again. The money isn't much, but you resent
 being imposed on, and you may se-
 cretly think that the system is one that obtains money under false pre- tenses, but you never fail to hand over
 to the girl the tip. Calmer reason as
 sures you that the girl makes her liv- ing that way and that she probably turns over the money you give her to
 a "cOrporation" that pays stiff rent al for the concession of taking care of the restaurant patrons hats while
 he eats. Yet the different gradations in the quality of the smile and the
 .'Thank you' you get when you give her a dime or q quarter indicate that she has a more personal interest in the largesS. You wonder what would
 happen if somebody were bold enough to give her nothing at all in return for
 holding his hat. But the possibilities

she seemed to be utterly unconscious of our presence.
 Doctor Immanuel walked over to her; he placed one hand on either shoulder and looked into her unwink- ing eyes.
 Helen" he said quietly, "open your hands!"
 There was moment of uncertainty, then the hard eyes closed and the hands opened obediently. With cry of exultation, MT. Tarrant bounced upon an object held in one of them-a engraved stone which looked like a sardonyx.
 Here it isl" he shouted. Now, then, will one of you gentlemen go for an of ficer?"
 Doctor Immanuel turned round and held up a finger in warning.
 She doesn't hear you, he said qui- etly. "She is hypnotized."
 "Nonsense!" exclaimed MT. Tarrant, angrily. How could you hypnotize her in that minute.
 "She has hypnotized herself" an- swered Doctor Immanuel. She came to you in a hypnotic condition, and in her normal condition would be totally ignorant of what she has done. Helen, D he added, softly, you are ill the hands of your friends. Go over and sit down on that sofa and sleep until waken you"
 The girl crossed the room obedient- ly, walking just as a normal person would have done She found the sofa and sat down; but all the while her eyes were closed. MT. Tarrant stood by, still fuming
 Have I your permission to pro- ceed?" asked Doctor Immanuel. T be- lieve you invited us here for this very purpose, Mr. Tarrant."

Tt is far too valuable, and my one eX- perience of losing it has made me re- solved to run no more risks. It is" he paused and continued in stage whisper which certainly carried as far as his natural voice-"under the Per sian rug behind my desk, in a tiny piece of false parquet work in the floor Simple, isn't it? Yet I am sure lit is safer there than in any of these cases-or for the matter of that, in steel safe.
 First, let me tell you something about this treasure" he continued, waxing enthusiastic. "The amulet is supposed to have been made for the high priest of Marduk, at Babylon. According to the cuneiform inscription, it was kept by the priestess of Ishtar pending the completion of Marduk's colossal temple, and it is believed, since it was discovered in the ruins of the temple of lshtar, that for some cause the priestess never delivered it. Perhaps it was hidden, perhaps the city was destroyed before the transfer could be made. At any rate, it was most sacred object and, from the fact that it was made in two halves, it is certain that the highest value was placed upon it. But l am wearying you, gentlemen. Come into the library, and I will show it to you"
 We passed into the library. MT. Tar rant switched off the lights in the mu- scum and, carefully closing and lock- ing the door, switched on the library lights. As the room became illumina- ted we heard the door at the other end close softly. There was the swishing of skirts.
 I was not prepared for what fol lowed. With a yell the millionaire Ieaped across the room, burst open the door and reappeared, dragging with him the figure of woman. Of course it was Miss Blythe. She stood staring at him, looking like a sleep walker. Her hands were tightly closed.
 Open your hands!" yelled MT. Tar rant. What have you got there? Open them, say!"
 But the frail woman seemed to have rant, powerful man though he was, could not open her hands. All the while she stood and stared at him, and

to America, where he had been edu- her most distinguished medical repre- sentative and publicist, to attend the International Congress of Penologists at Boston. But the first few days sit tings had so disheartened the doctor, convincing him that his own theories would, in fact, seriously prejudice his country, that he had withdrawn from the congress and was making my home his headquarters during the period oc- cupied by some special researches, about whose nature he had not enlight- ened me.
 On the following morning we re- ceived two letters from MT Tarrant, in which he apologized for his inabil- ity to ask us to dinner on account of the death of a near relative of Mrs Tarrant, and reiterated his desire that We visit him that evening. According ly, about eight o'clock we found our selves in his library and received a cordial greeting.
 Before we see Miss Blythe" said MT. Tarrant, perhaps you gentlemen would care to inspect my antiquities ?''
 We knew that such an invitation could not be refused without the pos sibility of seriously affronting the mil, lionaire; furthermore we were both in. terested, in limited way, in such mat ters. We did anticipate a lengthy and somewhat tedious round of the mu. scum, but such proved not to be the case. MT. Tarrant's collection consist. ed mainly of works of art of the middle ages; the Assyrian room was quite a small chamber at the back of the house, enclosed by concrete walls and approachable only by the door leading out of MT. Tarrant's library. We en tered, he switched on the electric lights, and we found ourselves looking up into the faces of bull-headed kings with wings, broken-faced goddesses, and colossi of black marble and gran ite. At one end of the room were 6 number of packing cases, forming 8 barrier across one-third of it's length down the center were the customary glass cases filled with gems, stones ol all sorts, fragments of clay inscrip tions, etc. We made the round slowly MT.
