MOTORCYCLE BANDITS

READING, Pa. March 6.-Re-
turning to Reading from Birdsboro
yesterday, Charles B. Templin, this
city, driving a closed car, was pur-
sued by two highwaymen on a mo-
torcycle at Reiffton. The man on
the rear seat stepped on the rum
ming board, revolver in hand, and
seized the door handle.
Templin jolted him off by putting
on speed and making a sharp turn,
and later tried to run down the
man remaining on the motorcycle,
who had ridden ahead The bandit
then left the road and allowed Temp
lin to pass. In a few minutes the
motorcyclist, having picked up his
partner, renewed the chase and
passed the auto, but Templin en-
tered a side street at Mount Penn
and thus lodged the highwaymen.

The sky grew blacker; the slow

thunder.
Stewart waited for Madeline under

cowboys had halted the pack-train.
Majesty was sensitive to the flashes Of
lightning. Madeline patted his neck
and softly called to him. The weary
burros nodded; the Mexican women
covered their heads with their nantes.

LYTTON BEFORE CONAN DOYLE
Early-Victorian Novelist Student OF
the Occult Something Like
Century Ago.

BulWer-Lytton, the eccentric, pre-
coded Sir Conan Doyle by more than
half century in the field of letters to
the regions of the occult. Says an old
copy of Blackwood's magazine, quoted
in the Detroit News Occult studies,
comprising the magic of ancient times
as well as the spiritualism of the pres
ent, had a great charm for him, and he
entered on them with the earnestness
which marked the pursuit of less mys-
ferrous knowledge. He dived into wiz
ard lore, equipped himself with mag
ical instruments, rods for transmitting
influence, and crystal balls in which to
discern coming scenes and persons,
and communed with mediums and spir-
itualists. There can be little doubt.
whatever faith he might have In par
ticular manifestations, he believed In
certain occult powers of nature, To deal
with which is the object of these mys-
terious arts. On more than one occa-

such themes with great copiousness of
knowledge and apparent truthfulness
