Having passed Tommy's hiding place,
Prof. StllUter turned from the trail and
led the heavenly . vision to a sort of

from which Tommy had often taken
trout.

She looked about her as if she ex

"It Is a long way from here," said
Tommy.
"Then I ought to sUrt at once. Will
you show me the way, please?"
"Why, yes, of course."

"What the devil are you doing here?"
ho examined. "Now don't get angry, old
chap. This Is one of my patients and"
"I'm not angry," said Tommy, "and
don't call me old chap."
Then Prof. StllUter sank his voice to
a whirper. "Her mind," he said, "Is In
an exceedingly critical condition. Now
you just vanish, will you? and leave her
to me. Hhe mustn't be upset."
"One condition of her mind," said
Tommy, "appears to be fear of you."
SUIlitrr turned from htm impatiently.
"Pome tleatia." he said, "we'll go away

Fhe shrank from his proffered hand.
"Ceieetla," said Tommy, "don't you

"you shan't."

She did not stli.
In a flash StllUter had drawn a polished
crystal from his pocket and was forcing
the girl to look at It. As he did so, he
said In a tone of command: "Sleep. Ce

Tommy simply stepped forward and
knocked the crystal from Rtllllter'a hand,
and StllUter turned upon him with a
howl of rage and attacked him with a
shower of windmill blows. Tommy wss
no longer a small boy, but an thlete In
the early twenties.
He retreated slowly, guarding himself,
snd then, when he thought he hsd drawn

he removed those great black rimmed

Tommy, "but that girl's sfrald of you
