KARL GRIER
Continued frot.t pa/re to
his fingers, and gazed at me straight in
the eyes. " Never was fortress besieged
more patiently," he said. "It is only
within the past few weeks that I have
received any answer, and that is why
?But you will surely agree with me
that the full and explicit story of my life
had better be deferred until a more con
venient occasion."
Now, lest I be accused of romancing, I
shall not endeavor to analyze closely the
most curious and agreeable illusion which
held me during the few seconds needed
for the delivery of his protest. Instead
of the crowded restaurant I saw a moon
lit lake, with the terraces of an Italian
garden rising in black and white lines
of closely clipped hedges, gravel paths,
smooth lawns, and broad stairs with
curving balustrades.
On the topmost and widest lawn,
where the grass had the semblance of a
black carpet owing to the shadows cast
by a castellated building in the back
ground, three people were walking?
actually in motion, that is?not in the
fixed attitudes of a picture, but moving.
Two were women, one dressed in black
and the other in white, and the moon
light glinting on their robes had an effect
worthy of Gustave Dord, so startling was
the contrast, so instantly did they hold
the eye. With them was a man, a tall
man; but that was all I caught of the
scene, for my ears were listening to Karl
throughout, and the change in his voice
brought back my scattered senses.
And a waiter spoke. "Your fish, sir."
I think I must have gazed at him
blankly, but Karl came to my assistance.
"Tell the chef we are in a hurry," he
said, then there will be no delay in the
kitchen."
The man left us. I stuck a needless
fork into the amiable sole.
Have you been hypnotizing me?" I
demanded angrily.
"You may call it that if you like,"
he said calmly. "You saw Maggie and
her mother."
Did I? I snapped. "And who was
the man?"
" I do not know his name. I decline
to listen. But I am fairly certain he is an
Italian of good birth, and he is madly
in love with Maggie."
I thawed. There was a reason for the
trick he had played me. "And she?"
I demanded.
Like me, she thinks that marriage
is a duty."
"There appears to be material for a
neurotic novel in the present situation."
"Far more. It may supply two
tragedies. But why are you harpoon
ing that unresisting fish?"
Again I resolved to drift. It was clear
that Karl meant me to travel along the
road he had already mapped out. So I
ate my dinner and drank a couple of
glasses of wine, and kept asking myself
how it was possible for my young friend
to produce so easily a slight but distinct
hypnosis in a veteran like me.
Then I remembered the poker-polariz
ing of the Mitre Hotel, and dug my
elbow into his ribs as a hansom carried
us westward.
"By Jove!" I cried, "I have it! Con
stantine s death interfered in someway
with the private telegnomy line Maggie
and you had set up; but recent events
have repaired the breakage. Constan
tine, living, supplied the earth contact
for your ethereal wires! When he died
you were forcibly separated, practically
torn asunder, and his place had to be
filled again before you could resume com
munication on the same basis as before."
\ou are not far wrong," he said
dryly. "But you have lived so much
abroad that you forget the propriety due
to the British hansom. If you wave
your arms so excitedly, the policeman at
the top of St. James's-st. will stop us, and
I shall Vie compelled to magnetize him."
"Could you?" I inquired irrelevantly.
"Ask the guv'nor what I did to the
douanUr at the Gare du Nord who wished
to confiscate a pound of the only tobacco
the old man can smoke. I made him

50 Cents
Secures This GRE,AT
Reference Library
This magnificent work?costing $750,000 to produce?is a Dictionary and Encyclopedia
combined. In fullness of definitions, number of words defined, and accuracy, it is superior to
reference works selling for five times its price. It has been recently revised and enlarged by
a staff of American editors. There are five big volumes (11 inches in size), containing
an inexhaustible mine of information on every subject, and defining every word in the
English language, with its derivation and pronunciation given. We have obtained a limited
edition, which we will close out on the easy monthly-payment plan. Our bargain offer
takes off two-thirds of the price, and we
pass the set on to you at less than half
the price of any first-class reference work.
We send the complete work to your home
for examination, without charge, and if
you decide to keep it a first payment of
50 cents secures a set?to oe paid for
while you are using it.
FIVE. MASSIVE, VOLUMES
The set contains 5.000 pages. 250,000 words, 3,000
illustrations and 50,000 encyclopedic articles. There
are three styles of binding?full sheep, half-morocco
and fine library cloth. We recommend the half-mor
occo for ordinary use, and the full sheep for those who
desire a set bound in luxurious style. In printing, paper,
illustrations and bindings this work is so nearly perfect
that it is worthy of a place in the library of the most
fastidious book-lover.
A $5.00 ATLAS
To bring a quick response to this offer we will gi\ef
absolutely without cost, to the first 250 persons who
order a set of the American Encyclopedic Dic
tionary. a splendidly bound copy of the Modern
Atlas of the World. The Atlas is 10x13 inches in
size (bound in fine red cloth) and contains 100 maps
in six to 12 colors, and gives separate maps of all
States and Territories and all countries of the world,
and the population of all cities of importance. The
price of the Atlas is $5.00, but if your order is
among the first 250 we send it to you free.
READ THESE LETTERS
lion. John W. Recorder of New York ?
"To the student and man of busy life the advantage
of finding, embraced in one work, the bestfeatures of
the encyclopedia and the dictionary, is incalculable."
Or. Francis J. Cniieily, Shelburne Falls, Maine.
" Nothing short of most extensive knowledge ar.d
years of persistent knowledge cculd have produced it.
It is a most valuable reference work for professional men
and scholars."
The Greatest Dictionary and Encyclo
pedia Bargain Ever Offered
AS A DICTIONARY this work defines 25,000
more words than any other Dictionary, and every
definition is so clear that a school boy can understand
it. Dr. Parkhurst, the famous divine, writes : " The
Encyclopedic Dictionary is a library condensed into
a few volumes; a ton of diffusiveness reduced to 50
pounds of quintessence, and, withal, as delicate in
detail as It is comprehensive in contents."
Sets Sent Free
The limited edition that we control will be closed
out to prompt purchasers at slightly more than one
third the publishers' price. For Instance, the half
morocco binding?our price, $ 19.50?has been
widely sold at $56.00 a set, and it is considered by
expert Judges to be worth the money. Prompt action
on your part is necessary to be sure of a set on these
terms.
Read tbe coupon and note how much you can save
by ordering at once. Cut it out and mail to-day. We
will send you a complete set at our expense, to be
returned if not satisfactory. Remember if your order
is one of the first 250 received you will get the
Atlas free. Payments are 50 cents upon acceptance
of the books and as low as a dollar a month thereafter,
depending upon the style of binding desired.
