I won't hart you. What is your trouble?" The old muii mini i' uo response. His eyes were fixed ou kb floor. A close ob server and u suspicious one might have noticed that the long white beard and hair were false. Seeing the paper in his band, Dr. Lampkin took it. "Is this for me?" lie asked. The old mun nodded. "Yes," he said in a queer, piping voice. My son wrote it and told me to bring it to you. " The doctor opened it. It run as fol lows: Br.

"Ah, I seel" said Dr. Lampkin, ad dressing the old man and motioning hia assistant to retire. "Your son writes nie that you swallowed a small snake when yon were young and that it is now giving you some trouble." The old man looked up suddenly, and his eyes flashed indignantly. "Ah, he told you that, did he? He admits to you that I have the snake, and yet he has been lyhir to me about it for the last ten years. 1 shall go home and give him a good licking. Ho knows I can't read, or he woulun't havo wrote it." The patient roeo suddenly, as if to leave. "Be calm," said Lampkin. "Ho was doing it for your good. As for myself, I believe in being frank about such things. Of courso you have it, but I can remove it without any trouble. Gome into my office.

" Lampkin bit his lip and turned aside to hide a smile. "Sit in this big chair," he said. "Your trouble is a very common one nowadays," ho went on, to prepare the mind of his patient for hypnotism. "I don't doubt it," returned the old man, stretching himself in tho chair. "I sometimes go into a corner bar to take a drink, and one night I met three men there who claimed to have had them. I don't know what they took to get shet of them. Seems like I have tried every concoction under the sun. Joe isn't a bit particular about his diet"- " Joe?" interrupted Lampkin. "Whom do you mean?' ' "That's my snake's name," ex plained the old man, raising a mild glance of surprise to the doctor. "You see, I have a daughter who keeps com pany with a young man, and she didn't want me to talk snake so much before hint, so I got to calling it Joe, to be polite, yon know. I don't Bee why a man can't talk about a snake he has bad one as long as I have." Dr. Lampkin burst into an impulsive langh and then attempted to disguise it by plunging at once into the case. He reached up to a shelf and took down a glass jar containing a snake in alco hol. To hypnotize a patient be found it necessary to first secme hia entire con fidence. "This," be began, "came from the stomach of one of the wealthiest bank ers in New York. I removed it without tbealigfatcBt difficulty." "Huh!" sneered the old man, his tone containing a tinge of pride. "Joe oan't be compared to that thing. He is ten times as large. He'd have to bo quartered or stretched out like a rubber gas tube to get through my throat." "It only seems larger to you because it is inside of you, "said the doctor, floundering helplessly. Alrendy ho was beginning to think he had come across an attUMMgi able patient. "If you are going to begin such rot flq that, I shan't take a drop of your medicine, " tho old man blurted out. "I ought to know more about it than you. Have you ever seen my snake?" "N, " n 'pi u'd tlio doctor, avoiding the couterflutoooa naze of bis patient o. nAtefcE.Ni. V J tr-rS Jr WILL N HflRBEN. "Yonve never felt of it either?" "Of course not." "Well, don't talk to me about what you are as ignorant of us a newborn baby." Dr. Lampkin opened his lips to speak, but could think of nothing to say and remained silent. The patient grasped the arms of the chair and raised himself a few inches. "Whut sort of medicine are you go ing to give me? Joe thrives on every thing in the way of physic. He seems to look on it as a sort of dessert. I can feel him wag his tail with satisfaction when he gets a dose of medicine. I be lieve on my life if I was to take half a pound of arsenio he'd reach up to the root of my tongue -to receive it " "You must not talk so much," said Lampkin, red in the face and still con fused. "I shall not use physio. My treatment is through what is known as hypnotic suggestion. " "A new one on me, "said the pa tient. "I don't know as I caro to mon key with it. It is something yon fel lows ain't quite sure of und want to try it on a dog, 1 suppose." Lampkin stared helplessly for fully a minute. He looked at his watch and shrugged his shoulders. He could not remember ever having bad such a per plexing experience. He almost felt as if the old man were jesting with him, and yet the idea was not tenable when he met his mild glance and heard his plaintive VOiCC "It won't hurt you a bit," began Lampkin in n tonoof gentle persuasion.

"I don't quite approve of the plan," replied the patient dubiously. "Yon see, Joe and me has been companions, ao to speak, for more than 50 years, and I haven't ever laid eyes on him. Now, it don't seem to me that it would be treating him with due respect for me to be sound asleep when ho makes his first bow to daylight, don't yon know." Dr. Lampkin smothered an oath with his hand, and, turning to a seat at the window, sat down. The patient sat up in his chair and stared at him critic ally, then stood up, reached out to a table and took possession of a cigar and a match. "If yon don't mind," he said, with a snigger, "I'll take a puff or two. Just about this time of day me and Joe are accustomed to a smoke.

But enough of a thing is enough. " "'This snake, ' quoted Hendricks, grinning audibly 'this snake is from the stomach of one of the wealthiest bankers in New York. I removed it without the slightest difficulty.' " "I give in," surrendered Lampkin. "I have never seen you in a better dis guise. How on earth did yon alter your voice that way?" "Got a professional ventriloquist to show me bow to speak down in my throat, " replied the detective. "How did yon drop on to me anyway?" "You may disguise your face and voice," said Lampkin, grinning, "but your humor, you know, would betray you anywhere. There is not another man in America who can get off such weak, flabby jokes. All at once a vast ; tired feeling came over me. I felt as if X were a sort of composite reincarnation of all the overworked sewing women that ever died, and then I knew you were not far away. " Hendricks laughed. "I presume you are right. I shall not joke tonight for fear of recognition." "What's up?" asked Lumpkin euger- "Want yen to take around with me tonight in a good make up. I left it down stairs with tho elevator boy." "Is it the Benton business? ' "Yes." "What's turned up?" "Nothing yet, but I am going to try to make something turn up." "Are the members of the house party still at Orange?" asked the doctor. "All of them. Even Allen has gone back to his old room. You remember I told you that Benton's lawyer, Farn ball, had missed some of the old man's paperB? Well, ho and I have searched high and low in several directions with out success. But here is the point Fur n ball has a sneaking idea that ho is some thing of an expert in reading character and has invited the whole party to meet him at his houso tonight. He thinks he will be able to draw them all out in conversation and force a confession from some one." "Then he thinks that some membei of the household stole tho papers?" ask cd Lampkin. "Yes, and committed the mun hi also." "Do you think so, too?" asked the doc tor. "Can't answer that question yet," smiled the detective. "But his idea of forcing some one to a confession put an odd idea into my head. They will bo at bis honse at 8 o'clock, and after they leave there we'll get in our little scheme." "What's that?" "I shan't tell you. It would spoil the dramatio effect. You Ml see it all in the end." "All right. Have your way," said Lampkin. Hendricks turned to the door. "I'll run down and get that make up. It will add 40 years to your age. I want to try it on you. We may not have a use for the disguises, but then, again, they may come in very handy. A good many people know me by sight." "Hut," said Lampkin, "if Farnhall should make somo one own up, can yon still carry out your plan?" "Nobody will own up," answered Hendricks. "He's a good lawyer, but I poor detective. I have made him prom ise to let me know if he fails, and then he is to turn the gang over to me. It was not possible for you and me to he present. He was afraid we'd bo recog nized even in disguise, but wo are to wait in his dining room till he gets through with them." "And then?" began the doctor. But with a laugh the detective had opened the door and gone down stairs. CHAPTER XIII. At ubout half after 7 o'clock that evening the figures of two aged men monnted tho steps of one of the new residences in West Thirteenth street, near Eighth avenue. Farnhall himself met them at the door. "Come in," he said, with a laugh. "I suppose it is you, though I couldn't swear to it. I was awfully afraid you'd bo late and get here after the others." "I knew the train they'd take," an swered Hendricks, and then he intro duced Dr. Lampkin. "Come right hack into the dining room," said the lawyer, shaking hands with the doctor. "I shall have to leave you to yourselves, as I must look over some documents before they arrive." "We can manage very well," replied Hendricks. "Don't let ns disturb yon." "J presume if my plan succeeds that you won't object to make the arrest. I thought yon would not, so I did not in form the police. " "It would be a genuine pleasure," answered Hendricks; "but, as I told you the other day, I don't believe yon can succeed." Farnhall looked a little crestfallen. " Yon don't think so? And in caso I fail I suppose you won't let me help you in the plans yon have in view." "Sorry, but it is impossible," said the detective. ' ' You see, we are in dis guise, and it would not do to run the risk of adding another man. But I shall do all I can toward recovering the miss ing papers." "I am sure of that," said Famhall. "Well, amuse yourselves as well as yon can. If I fail, I'll let you know in stantly." "Bo snre to do that," cautioned Heudricks. "I want to follow them as soon as they leave tho house." Half an hour later Hendricks and Lampkin heard tho front doorbell ring. The detective sprang to the door of the dining room, drew aside the curtain and peered cautiously into the hull. Vnis were heard exchanging greet ings, and then they ceased as the draw iua room door closed. Hendricks turned to his companion. "Good so far!" he ejaculated. "They are all here, every one of them. I was afraid some one would back out on some pretext or other. " An hour passed. Not a word was spoken by the two men. Heudricks sat at the open fire, his hands clasped over his knee. Suddenly he sprang up. They bad heard the door of the drawing room open. The hall was filled with the sound of footsteps and voices. Then the front door closed, and Farnhall came into the room. "I made un ass of myself," he said. "That fellow Ralph is a young dare devil. Ho dropped on to me in a very short time and knocked my feet from nder me. He offered to bet $ 1,000 that I suspected one of them to be guilty of the theft, and he laughed at the idea of the papers having been stolen. Ho said the old man had simply mislaid them and that they would turn op all right." Hendricks did not seem to be listen ing. "Quick, dootor!" ho said. "We must be after them. Good night, Farnhall. I did not think yonr scheme would work." CHAPTER XIV. When they reached the street, they saw the Benton party about half a block ahead of them. "Making for the Fourteenth street elevated station," said Hendricks. "That's all right. Kola will catch them a little farther on." "Kola? Who's that yonr East In dian pupil?" "My teacher in some things uncan ny roles, for instanoe. He will take them in tow. I am sure of it, for he bas never said he would do a thing and failed. There he is now. " A man dressed in the costume of the East Indies emerged from the dark doorway of an uninhabited apartment bouse in the middle of the block and stepped in front of the Benton party. Hendricks drew his companion into the shadow of a wall and held his breath. Kola seemed to be talking to them earnestly, and they Beemcd to bo hesi tating. After a few minutes tho group moved on, and Kola enmo toward Heudricks and Lampkin. They heard him laugh as ho drew near. "All right," he said in his strange, musical accent. "They will go as soon as I join them again. I made a pretext Kola touched hit richly colored turban and sauntered after the group. to leave to speak to you. Go on to my house and wait for me. I'll be there with them." "Good," said the detective. "Glad you put on those togs. Such things work on the averago American mind." Kola touched his richly colored tur ban and turned and sauntered on after the group. Hendricks drew Lampkin round and hurried him toward Ninth avenue. "I am completely at sea," remarked tho doctor as they turned tho corner and started up town. The detective laughed. "It's all on the programme," he said. "It would spoil your fun if I were to let you in to the secret just now." Hendricks smoothed out his long beard with both bands. "Blasted hot, these thingB," be muttered. "I say, doctor, did yon ever investigate tho psychio powers of the East Indian adepts?" "No," answered the dootor. "Do you believe in their so called supernatnral powers?" Dr. Lampkin reflected. "I am forced to believs that they are much more deeply versed in psychology than we are," he admitted. "Kola is a marvel," said Hendricks. "The other day when I decided on get ting him to help me in this matter 1 at down and wroto him a note telling bim what I had in view. After I bad finished it I laid it aside to write some other things, intending to send it by a messenger. I give you my word that as I was going out half an hour later I met Kola at tho door. His face was beam ing, and the first thing he said was: 'I am glad to do it, Mr. Heudricks. I am ready any moment to aid yon. ' "I stared at bim in surprise, and then the fellow began to blush like a school girl. " 'I forgot,' he said, 'that you have not yet told me, but I already knew.' " 1 You knew that I had written you?' I asked in astonishment. " 'Yes,' he replied, and then he told me exactly what I had written. I asked him how he did it, but he madeuo reply. " "I have heard thut East Indians are able to do such things," remarked Lampkin. "I uni awfully glad I met bim. I want to get at the truth about somo of the things that I have heard of his people." "He could lay your hypnotism in the shade," jested llio detective. "He told me he could convince a whole room full of people that he had cut off his own head." "I don't doubt it," replied the doc tor. "What did he say to the Benton party?" "Oh, ho gave them some song and dance abont bavins received, some mes sage from the stars'. He'll then persuade them, through fair meant) or hypnotism, to come to his house on Twentieth street. He bus u queer plaeo there. Ho must have money. I think he owns the bouse. It is one of tho old residences. It hud been closed for ten years before he took it." "Ah, a light breaks in ou me!" cried Lampkin. "You ure going to hold some sort of seance. ' ' "Yes, a see-ance tbut is a see-ance," laughed Hendricks. "I would be more explicit, but I want you to see it from the standpoint of an outsider. Are you proof against hypnotism?" "I think so." "Well, only be sure that what you behold is not imagination, " said the detective, with a knowing laugh. a to be continued.! l;it Not).

Some Suggestions have Young From the New Era, Thii paper recently detailed a reporter to Visit West Fork, Crawford County, Indiana, and interview Mrs. Clara M. Roberson. He made the journey but Mrs. Roberson was not at home. Whereupon he left a note for her, requesting that she write him the facts asked for, which in a few duys she did, in the following most grateful manner. West Fork, Ind., Sept. 29, 1896. "Dear Sir: In response to your note of inquiry I trust you will not expect me to write all I feel, for I cannot do so in an ordinary letter. "I am now past my fifty-fifth anniversary, and am in possession of better health than at any time within thirty years. From my twenty-fourth year, when my third child was born, until the spring of 1894, when I had the good fortune to begin the use of Pink Pills, I scarcely knew what it was to be free from pain, though naturally of a robust con stitution. The hardships of life for a farmer's wife in those days can hardly be estimated by women in the same station now-a-days, for in those daya farm labor was mure onerous. "At the birth of my third child, my youth seemed to suddenly fade away, and my once robust constitution to collapse, but my hus band could not afford hired help, and though ill-health brought its train of mise ries, it brought no relaxation from the bur dens which devolve upon a poor man's wife. Falling of the womb, my first complaint, was soon followed by dyspepsia, bladder complaint, rheumatism and neuralgia till I prayed often for that peace which the world cannot give. Local doctors gave me no relief. Then I began the use of patent medicines, but was rewarded with failure. I lost fkith in all advertisements. I had actually despaired of ever finding relief, and the culmination of my despair was reached when five years ago an ugly sore broke out upon my left shin, despite all efforts to cure or check it. The doctors told me, that, owing to my age, I could expect no relief except hy amputation or hone scraping. "In April. ia94, Mrs. A. M. George, of Bt Croix, Ind, visited me and became cog nizant of my troubles. She had used Pink Pills with such benefieial effects that her enthusiasm partially inspired me with con fidence. By her advice I procured a half dozen boxes of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People from Dr. II. H. Setser. of Leavenworth, Ind. I improved rapidly from the first box. Before the six boxes were taken. I had so much improved that I secured a dozen more boxes, oil of which I took. Ere three months had pessed I was absolutely free from pain, and I could eat anything set before me with as much avid ity as during my girlhood. There was no more retching or belching; no more spit ting up of food, as there had been during more than fifteen years. My sleep was sweet and refreshing. There was no more rising during the Btght hy reason of disor dered kidneys, and none of those fainting pells which my family dreaded more than any other symptoms of my enfeebled eon dition.

BE (Ml r.h t J. OF YOUR DAUGHTER'S III . M i l WHILE IN HER TEENS. A very peculiar case was reported to this paper regarding Miss Mattie, the 13-year-old daughter of James Everett, editor of the Dearborn Independent. The reporter called at the house of Mrs. Everett in Aurora, Ind., to learn the particulars and was very gra ciously entertained by Mrs. Everett. He was anxious to hear about the case of Miss Mattie, and at his request Mrs. Everett said: "Our daughter has not been strong since her siege with the fever two years ago. She didn't fully recover, and was just enter ing a delicate age. She became all run down, her blood got out of order, and she was almost continually troubled with sick headache. She studied hard, being so am bitious, but finally became so bad she could not study, and we were compelled to keep her from school. We doctorea with her for a long time, trying all remedies, but she failed to improve. " Mrs. Mary Groves, of Jonethoro, was visiting a neighbor and learned of our daughter's case. Sim became interested and advised us to get Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for her. as her son had been cured by their use. We at onee procured the medi cine, the first few doses helped her, and after taking them for a time she was greatly bene fited and was able to return to her studies at school. Her energy is returned, her blood in good condition, and she feels mnch stronger. She has not been troubled with headache since she took her first half box, and is now using the last of the second box. We feel very grateful to Dr Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, and ate confident that thev, and they alone, restored Mattie to her former health."
