Drug Store Latin.

In one of the southern prohibition
states a physician had occasion to or
der some whisky for a patient. 1t sc
happened that the whisky reached the
express office on Sunday morning. The
doctor sent for the PACKAGE and the
express agent returned the reply that
the whisky could not be delivered on
Sunday. ThereupOn the doctor sent
word that the whisky was for very
sick patient and must be had at once.
The agent sent reply that If the doc.
tor would write prescription for the
whisky he could get it. The doctor
wrote upon his prescription blank

Don't think that you will lose your

'ClOugh took his seat and Emmanuel
went to a chest and brought back a
small instrument consisting of kind
of glass ball, suspended from a chain.
The chain terminated in a common
corded wire and socket, which he at
tached to the electric light fixture.
He turned the switch and instantly
the ball began revolving with tremen-
dous rapidity.

first stage. You will be asleep in a

Doctor. Your mind Is active but

The figure grew rigid in the chair.

There was no answer, but suddenly
Clough pitched sidewise out Of his
chair. The Doctor caught him. He
held him under the arms and raised
them. The arms remained in the air,
rigid as steel. Clough was in the last
and deepest hypnotic state, the cata-
leptic. His face was distorted; to my
mind it had taken on somehow, in
some measure, the aspect of the
woman's.

suddenly.

he repeated it. Emmanuel got up and

said. in tones which indicated some
thing like terror. Il never had this

They kept about two PAGES apart and

Emmanuel looked at them as hope

gently down upon the sofa, and in

him, in the same posture. but-sitting
on air.

oughly scared. I'm not going to sit
and watch this internal nonsense of
yours. In my opinion it is all a plan.

The two pairs Of eyes turned slowly
in his direction. Emmanuel saw it at

had given of taking notice." as we

Emmanuel got beyond his depth, that's

1t was as If someone had cut that
wire with shears, for, while Ciough
still sat rigid on the sofa, Miss Ca
belle suddenly sank upon the floor.
Emmanuel raised her and put her in
the armchair which she had occupied.
AS she moved saw Clough's arms and
legs move also in feeble imitation.
But there was none Of that exactly
timed, clock-work-like automatism.
Then the woman sighed deeply and
opened her eyes. simultaneously
Clough rose weakly from the sofa and
came toward us.

I'm sure there is nothing the matter
with me. What was it you proposed
to do?"
Tarrant bounded forward out of his
chair and positively glared at her.
do you mean to tell us you don't
know that the experiment has been
performed" he asked. "Or is that
part of the game?"
Miss Gabelle rose up and looked at
him Indignantly. Il don't know what
game you refer to, Mr.. Tarrant," she
answered, but if any experiment has
been performed during the five min
utes that l have been in this room.

Tarrant backed out of the range Of
those indignant eyes. Miss Gabelle
turned to the Captain.

said, IF you feel we'll enough. Do
you? You know, you have to be at
that big Salvationist meeting tomor-
row morning." She seemed to speak
with real concern.
"Salvationist meeting?" queried
Clough in perplexity. 20, yes, to be
sure. But, Miss Gabelle, didn't tell
you that l was going to sever my
connection with the organization? It's

but still-well, its appeal is a little

his arm as they left the room.
Tarrant looked at Emmanuel when
they had gone. He stared and stared.
Then, without a word, he clapped on
his hat and left the room.
And there you have the story. As
have said, looked at one way it is a
simple matter of scientific interest.
But, looked at in another, 1t Is mod
ern miracle. Emmanuel gave me his
version the next day, when Lcalled to
question him and found Tarrant al
ready there.

tor. that the one was all soul and
the other all body. And Clough, by
reason of his great love for her, did
what Orpheus is fahled to have done
for Eurydice; he went down into hell
and found her again. You know, those
myths all have some psychological
meaning. l imagine that he got to
that region where all souls are merged
in the world-soul, which We call God,
and that there he gave her, what she
lacked, out of his superfluity. That's
all; as you know, it got beyond my
control"
Or" hazarded Tarrant, perhaps
the power of imagination stirred her
better nature into activity"
IF you prefer to put it that way"
replied the Doctor.
