A f tell him that once more he has failed.
B f # Out of my sight ! "
W m ' • ' • * As Carriston showed signs of recom-
H * Tncneing hostile operations , the man
V ' lied as far as the doorway. There , be-
H - \ Jng in comparative safety , he turned
B fW with a malignant look.
K "You'll smart for this , " he said ;
Hfc I ' "when they lock you up as a raving

H i
m Jr I was glad to see that Carriston paid
W $ „ \ no attention to this parting shaft. He
L vl turned hir back scornfully , and the
W j bellow left the room and the house ,
ft I "Now are you convinced ? " asked
B | . &f • Carriston , turning to me.
mm "Convinced of what ? That his tale
H \ _ M * s untrue , or that he has been misled ,
H
HaerjBp
K tfL J am quite certain. "
K t\ "Tush ! That is not worth consider-
RtJy ation. Don't you see that Ralph has
VJill I . done all this ? I set that man to watch
BP C ) him ; he found out the espionage ; sub-
mW 0 * I -orned my agent , or your agent I should
I'i l " say ; sent him here with a trumped-up
* M tale. Oh. yes ; I was to believe that
iffi Madeline had deserted me that was to
t drive me out of my senses. My cousin
W ® is a fool after all ! "
jp "Without further proof I cannot be-
jm lieve that your suspicions are correct , "
Eg I said : but I must own I spoke with
jiwt , some hesitation.
Wr . "Proof ! A clever man like you ought
Hj 'to see ample proof in the fact of that
I B wretch having twice called me a mad-
K -man. I have seen him but once before

W&y - you know if I then gave him any
msP grounds for making such an assertion.
K | "Tell me , fgrom whom could he have

afe I.was bound , if only to save my own
; Jm reputation for sagacity , to confess that
* S v. therpoint noted by Carriston had raised
R "jfe certain doubts in my mind. But if
& * -j3F Ralph Carriston really was trying by
Jj m | some finely-wrought scheme to bring
M . fabout what he desired , • there was all
I B jB l vthe more reason for great caution to be
I Bilji . < exercised.
R cftt ' * * "I am sorry you beat the fellow , " I
Bl said. "Ke will now swear right and
Bb g left that you were not in your senses. "
B7 Jt "Of course he will ? What do I care ? "
R \ j "Only remember this. It is easier to

B ( f . * "li is not so very easy for a sane
W f ' man like me to be put in , especially
L/ * _ . . / when he is on his guard. I have looked
t * V up the law. There must be a certifi-

mjmW who have seen the supposed lunatic
W. alone and together. I'll take pretty
mf ' good care I speak to no doctor save
B j yourself , and keep out of the way of
K \y surgeons and apothecaries. "
Mj/ It quite cheered me to hear him
I HnT speaking so sensibly and collectedly
Bj [ about himself , but I again impressed
Ryy upon him the need for great caution.
B/ Although I could not believe that his
Bfjj. cousin had taken-Madeline away , I was
Bj v. inclined to think , after the affair with
Bj > the spy , that , as Carriston averred ,
Bmf he aimed at getting him , sane or insane ,
tfj into a mad-house.
Blj But after all these days we were not
H a step nearer to the discovery of Made-
Bv I line's whereabouts. Carriston made nor
- i' sign of doing anything to facilitate that
discovery. Again I urged him to in-
r
, trust the whole affair to the police.
Bjjfl Again he refused to do so , adding that
Bpi\j he was not quite ready. Ready for

B . xx ter-of-fact medical
BfjT } k\ man , doing my
bfT V ) work to the best of
RW' ' my ability , and
(1 ( anxious when that work was done that
K/l my hours of leisure would be as free
S from worry and care as possible. With
BB Carriston 's advent several disturbing
BuL elements entered into my quiet life.
HftiW' Let Ralph Carriston be guilty or in-
VTp ) nocent , of the extraordinary crime
which his cousin laid at his door , I
! felt certain that he was anxious to ob
tain possession of the supposed luna-
H | ] tic's person. It would suit his pur-
Bjr poses for his cousin to be proved mad.
B > / I did not believe that , even if the cap
HL/ ) ture was legally -effected , Carriston's
RL J liberation would be a matter of greatS
Bff f difficulty so long as he remained in his
present state of mind ; so long as I , a
S doctor of some standing , could go into
the witness box and swear to his san-
\ ity. But my old dread was always with
W M me the dread that any further shock
mfi would overturn the balance of his sen-
II sitivc mind.
A. f U So it was that ever } ' hour that Car-
Kfft riston was out of my sight was fraught
Bl v with anxiety. If Ralph Carriston was
wk'\ > ( really as unscrupulous as my friend
U supposed : if he had reall , as seemed
B k\ almost probable , suborned our agent ,
[ / 1 | he might by some crafty trick obtain
Mm the needful certificate , and some day
* ' i ' I should come home and find Carriston
I had been removed. In such a case I
i foresaw great trouble and distress.
1Jjjl , i , .
Besides , after all that had occurred ,
it was as much as I could do to believe
that Carriston was not mad. Any doc
tor who knaw what I knew would have
given the verdict against him.
After dismissing his visions and hal-
lucinatons wth the contempt which
they deserved , the fact of a man who
was madly , passionately in love with a
woman , and who believed that she had
been entrapped and was still kept in
restraint , sitting down quietly , and let
ting day after day pass without mak
ing an effort toward finding her , was in
itself prima facie evidence of insanity.
A sane man would at once have set all
ths engines of detection at work.
I felt that if once .Ralph Carriston
obtained possession of him he could
make out a strong case in his own
favor. First of all , the proposed mar
riage out of the defendant's own sphere
of life ; the passing under a false name ;
thp ridiculous , or apparently ridicu
lous , accusation made against his kins
man : the murderous threats ; the chas
tisement of his own paid agent who
brought him a report which might not
seem at al luntrue to anyone who knew
not Madeline Rowan. Leaving out of
the question what might be wrung from
me in cross-examination , Ralph Car
riston had a strong case , and I knew
that , once in his power , my friend
might possibly be doomed to pass
years , if not his whole life , under re
straint. So I was anxious , very anx
ious.
ious.And
And I felt an anxiety , scarcely second
end to that which prevailed on Car
riston's account , as to the fate of Mad
eline. Granting tor sake of argument
that Carriston's absurd conviction that
no bodily harm had as yet been done
her , was true , I felt sure that she with
her scarcely less sensitive nature must
feel the separation from her lover as
much as he himself felt the separation
from her. Once or twice I tried to
comfort myself with cynicism tried to
persuade mj-self that a young woman
could not in our days be spirited away
that she had gone by her own free
will that there was a man who had at
the eleventh hour alienated her affec
tions from Cariston. But I could not
bring myself to believe this. So I was
placed between the horns of a dilem
ma.
ma.If
If Madeline had not fled of her own
free will , someone must have taken her
away , and if so our agent's report Avas
a coined one , and , if a coined one , is
sued at Ralph's instance ; therefore
Ralph must be the prime actor in the
mystery.
But in sober moments such a deduc
tion seemed an utter absurdity.
Although I have said that Carriston
was doing nothing towards clearing up
the mystery , I wronged him in so say
ing. After his own erratic way he was
at work. At such work too ! I really
lost all patience with him.
He shut himself up in his room , out
of which he scarcely stirred for three
days. By that time he had completed
a large and beautiful drawing of his
imaginary man. This he took to a
well-known photographer's and
, or
dered several hundred small photo
graphs of it to be prepared as soon as
possible. The minute description
which he had given me of his fanciful
creation was printed at the foot of each
copy. As eon as the first batch of
these precarious photographs was sent
home , to my great joy he did what he
should have done days ago : yielded to
my wishes , and put the matter into the
hands of the police.
I was glad to find that in giving de
tails of what had happened he said
nothing about the advisability of keep
ing a watch on Ralph aCrriston's pro
ceedings. He did indeed offer an ab
surdly large reward for the discovery
of the missing girl , and , moreover ,
gave the officer in charge of the case a
packet of photographs of his phantom
man , telling him in the gravest manner
that he knew the original of that like
ness had something to do with the dis
appearance of Miss Rowan. The offi
cer , who thought the portrait was that
of a natural being , took his instructions
in good faith , although he seemed
greatly surprised when he heard that
Carriston knew neither the name nor
the occupation , in fact knew nothing
concerning the man who was to be
sought for. However , as Carriston as
sured him that finding this man would
insure the reward as much as if he
found Madeline , the officer readily
promised to combine the two tasks ,
little knowing what waste of time any
attempt to perform the latter must be.
'Two days after this Cariston came to
me. "I shall eave you to-morrow , " he
said.
"Where are you going ? " I asked.
"Why do you leave ? ' *
"I am going to travel about. I have
no intention of letting Ralph get holdl
of me. So I mean to go from place to
place until I find Madeline. "
"Be careful , " I urged.
"I shall be careful enough. I'll take
care that no doctors , surgeons , or even
apothecaries get on my track. I shall
go just as the fit seizes me. It I can't
say one day where I shall be the next ,
it will be impossible for that villain to
know. "
This was not a bad argument. In
fact , if he carried out his resolve of
passing quickly from place to place , I
did not sec how he could plan anything
more likely to defeat the intentions
with which we credited his cousin. As
to his finding Madeline by so doing ,
that was another matter.
His idea seemed to be that chancee
would sooner or later brins him In con-
* " * " * w -
i inr iTiti
. i i i i
tact with the man of his dream. How
ever , now that the search had been in
trusted to the proper persons , his own
action in the matter was not worth
troubling about. I gave him many
cautions. He was to be quiet and
guarded in words and manner. He
was not to converse with strangers.
If he found himself dogged or watched
by anyone , he was to communicate at
once with me. But , above all , I begged
him not to yield again to his mental
Infirmity. The folly of a man who
could avoid it throwing himself into
such s. state ought to be apparent to
him.
"Not oftener than I can help , " was
all the promise I could get from him.
"But see her I must sometimes , or I
shall die. "
I had now given up as hopeless the
combat with his peculiar idiosyncrasy.
So , with many expressions of gratitude
on his part , we bade each other fare
well.
During his absence he wrote to me
nearly every day , so that I might know
his wherea bouts in case I had any
news to communicate. But I had none.
The polio e failed to find the slightest
clew. I had 'been ' called upon by them
once or twice in order that they might
have every grain of information I could
give. I took the liberty of advising
them not to waste their time in look
ing for the man , as his very existence
was problematical. It was but a fancy
of my friend's , and not worth thinking
seriously about. I am not sure but
what after hearing this they did not
think the whole affair was an imagined
one , and so relaxed their efforts.
Once or twice , Carriston , happening
to be in the neighborhood of London ,
came to see me , and slept the night at
my house. He also had no news to
report. Still , he seemed hopeful as
ever.
The weeks went by until Christmas
was over and the New Year had begun ;
but no sign , word , or trace of Madeline
Rowan. "I have seen her , " wrote Car
riston , "several times. She is in the
same place unhappy , but not ill-treat
ed. "
Evidently his hallucinations were
still in full force.
At first I intended that the whole of
this tale should be told by myself ; but
upon getting so far it struck me that
the evidence of another actor who
plaj-ed an important part in the drama
would give certain occurrences to the
reader at first instead of a second hand ,
so I wrote to my friend Dick Fenton ,
of Frenchay , Gloucestershire , and
begged him , if he felt himself capable
of so doing , to put in simple narrative
form his impressions of certain events ,
which happened in January , 18G6 ;
events in which we two were concerned.

rioattng Metals.
If a small rod of iron a straight
piece of wire , for instance be greased ,
it can.be made to float on water. The
grease apparently prevents the break
ing of the surface of the water and the
iron lies cradled in a slight depression
or trough. Recently Dr. A. M. Mayer ,
experimenting with rods and rings of
iron , tin , copper , brass , platinum , alu
minum , German silver , etc. , found that
all metals , even the densest , will float
on water when their surfaces are
chemically clean. A perfectly clean
piece of copper or platinum wire , for
instance , forms a trough for itself on
the surface of water just as if it were
greased. The same is true of a small
rod of glass. Doctor Mayer believes
the floating is < lue to a film of air con
densed on the surface of the glass or
metal , because if the ted be heated to
redness , and as soon as it cools , be
placed on water , it will sink , but if it
be exposed to the air for a short time
it will float.
Little but Strong : .
A ycung lady who is well known in
society circles is now being given the
"grand laugh" on account of a remark
she made some time ago. She was pres
ent at a small gathering of friends
and after the discussion of several top
ics the conversation turned upon the
size of the average person's hand. Af
ter a time some one said : "Don't you
think Mr. A. has a very small hand ? "
Mr. A. is a gentleman who has been
paying considerable attention to the
young lady under consideration. With
out stopping to think , the young lady
replied : "Yes , but he can squeeze so
hard ; why , he squeezed my hand until
" But here she realized what she
was saying and stopped , crimson with
confusion , to be overwhelmed in a gale
of laughter which threatened to take
the roof off the house. Louisville

His Request.
The old southern planter was dying.
For fifty years he had ridden over his
plantation and directed the men at
their work , and in all that time not
a sprig of cotton had been known to
grow upon his land. Corn alone the
old man had raised. Corn and mint.
Now , through the dusk settling down
over the great place his nose beamed
softly through the shadows and cast a
pale , reddish light upon the remainder
of his countenance. "Put , " said he ,
weakly , as he realized his time had
come , "put upon my tombstone the
words " He took the straw between
his trembling fingers , while the odor
of the julep shared with silence the
moment. " 'Corn , but not for cotton. ' "
And even so thej * did it. New York

Ha ! IIu !
"Oh , that I could find the key to your
obdurate heart ! " sighed the Living
Skeleton , gazing fondly at the Fat
Lady. "I'll tell you right now that it
ain't no skeleton key , " said the fat lady
in scorn , and the two-headed girl per
formed a laughing duet in minor.

Washington special : Residents of
Nebraska and their friends sojourning
in Washington were given a chance to
meet President McKinley today tlirough
the courtesj" of Senator Thurston , who
conceived the idea that as many of the
sojourners here would , be leaving for
their homes tomorrow , it would be a
gracious thing to introduce them to
the president. Accordingly a telegram
was sent to the white house asking if
the president would receive the Ne
braska delegation , and visiting friends
at an hour to be named by the execu
tive. At : : :30 oclock ? a number of Nebraskans -
braskans , including Church Howe ,
Attorney Atkinson of Lincoln , F. A.
Collins , Henry T. Oxnard , General C *
J. IJilis of Fairburv , L. L. Lindsey of
Lincoln , and W. E. Peebles of Pender ,
with Senator Thurston as chief of the
delegation , called upon the president
and were presented to him in his pri
vate room. There was a cordial inter
change of courtesies and chat on cur
rent events. Senator Allen was in
vited to attend with the part3 % but he
declined. Many of the Nebraskans
are already leaving for their homes
and by morning but few of the old
campaigners will be left.
Dawes County Farmer Kinds OH.
Crawford dispatch : James English ,
perhaps one of the wealthiest farmers
in this neighborhood , while having a
well drilled on a piece of land about
two miles southeast of Crawford struck
oil. The well is now fifty feet deep.
Rock was struck at about twenty feet ,
and the drillers reported indications
of oil after they had drilled about
twentj' feet into the rock ; they went
down ten feet further that day and
the next morning there was about ten
feet of water in the hole , with over a
foot of oil floating on the surfac. The
oil is as clear as refined oil. and a rag
satitrated with it burns up as brill
iantly as if saturated with the best
grades shipped in. English was in
town j-esterday and took out some ap
paratus for gathering a quantity of
the oil , which he will send to the state
university. With the apparatus at
hand here it is almost impossible to
measure the amount of oil floating on
the water in the well , but some re
liable persons say it is about one-third
oil. The report of the state universitj *
is looked forward to with much in
terest.
A Man of Extensive Travel.
Since the death of Joseph Deunser at
Fremont last week it has been ascer
tained that he was a man who had
traveled veiy extensively. He was a.
" 40er in California. He then went to
Australia and spent several years in
the mining camps and traveled abottt
the interior of the country. On his re
turn from Australia he stopped for a
time in Tahiti and other South Sea
islands and lived for awhile in llono-
lttlu. Af te • putting in some time at
various mining camps in Arizona. New
Mexico and Montana he went back to
Germany , from whence he returned
and settled upon a farm in Saunders
county , this state.

Ono of the latest botanical discov
eries of Interest to seekers for health
is called Alkavls. from the Kava-Kava
shrub of India. It Is being imported by
the Church Kidney Cure company of
New York , and is a certain cure for
several bodily disorders. The Kava-
Kava shrub , or , as botanists call it ,
"Piper Methystlcum , " grows on the
banks of the Ganges river , nnd probab
ly was used for centuries by the natives
before its extraordinary properties be
came known to civilization through
Christian missionaries. In this re
spect it resembles the discovery of qui
nine from the Peruvian bark , made
known by the Indians to the early
missionaries in South America , and by
them brought to civilized man. It is a
wonderful discovery , with a record ot
1,200 hospital cures In thirty days. It
acts directly upon the blood and kid
neys , and is a true specific , just as qui
nine is in malaria. We have the strong
est testimony of many ministers of
the gospel , well known doctors and
business men cured by Alkavis. So far
the Church company. No. 422 Fourth
avenue. New York , are the only Im
porters of this new remedy , and they
are so anxious to prove its value that
for the sake of Introduction they will
send a free treatment of Alkavls pre
