"By tho bye, Mrs. Grosvenor," said
Mrs. Kfllngunin, "your nephew, Jack
Kenworthy, comes of ago soon, does
he not?"
"In a week from today."
"How nice to bo coming of ago and
into a splendid property ut tho same
tlmo!"
"Jack will not enjoy his inheritance
Jong."
"Not enjoy it long? Why, what do
you mean?"
"Jack, like other wealthy young men,
has been inoculated with the aviation
fover. Vov tho past year liu has been
thinking of nothing else. lie has made
a number of trips and learned all about
aeroplanes and how to fly them. Ho
has ordered one liner than any that has
been produced to be made for him. It
is finished, and he Is only waiting for
his cstnte to bo turned over to him to
pny for it. Theso aviators do not live
on an averngo more than two or three
years and nro liable to got killed ut
any tlmo while they are flying. It's
too bad nbout .Tack. Ho will havo n
splendid fortune. Ho Is very bright
and has n line future before him."
"Has no ono nny influence over him
to show him that death is the inevita
ble end to his flights if ho persists in
them?"
"I am his only living near relative. I
have pleaded with him to desist from
aviation, to study u profession, to fit
himself to live rather than to take
measures for death. I havo not pro
duced any impression on him."
"Don't you think that if you could
get him married Ills wife might ac
complish that In which you havo fail
ed?" "I've thought of that, but .lack is not
a ladles' man nt all. Ho won't consent
to my Introducing him to girls. Indeed,
ho won't have anything to "do with
them. Several women who havo tot
tho aviation crazo hove begged mo to
intercede with Jack to take them for a
ride In the air. Ho scouts the Idea.
Do you suppose.' he Hays lo mo, 'that
I'm going to take tip a woman to lose
her head nt the slightest Jar in the mn
clilnery, grab mo like a drowning per
son and land mo a mass of pulp on the
earth hundreds of feet below? Not
much !"
"Docs ho take men up with him?"
"Only such as he Is sure will not get
rattled."
Edith Elllngham. aged nineteen, was
sitting on a window seat concealed by
curtains, with a novel on her lap, lis
tening to this dialogue. She had caught
tho aviation fever and was much inter
ested in this Mr. ICeiiworthy. who
skimmed about In tho air at the risk of
ills life, who disliked girls and who was
about to step into a fortune. Could
tlioro bo any combination better cal
culated to impress a girl in her teens?
But when we consider that Miss Etllng
ham was desirous of flying among the
clouds herseir wc have conditions that
are likely to produce results.
"Mainum," she said after Mrs. Gros
vonor's departure, "I havo a curiosity
to seo this man who has no tnoresonso
than to risk his nook by trying to make
a bird of himself and who prefers to
get smashed against tho earth instead
of living to enjoy hint fortune."
"Good gracious. Edith, what do you
know about Mr. Konwortliy?"
"I was sitting In the window seat
whon you and his aunt Avero talking
about him and heard all that was said.
Please ask Mrs. Grosvenor to bring
him hero to dinner. But don't say any
thing about nio, or lie won't come."
"I'll do no such thing. I don't wish
you to have anything to do with such u
man: you'll bu going up with him In
his machine."
"How can I do that when ho won't
take a girl up with him?"
"Why do you wish to sou, him?"
"For curiosity's sake."
When a girl of nineteen wishes to
got her clutches on a young man. her
mother Is not the best person to stand
In her way. Mrs, Grosvenor was in
vited to dinner and asked to bring her
nophow with her. Since she had
brought him up from u boy of twelve,
sho had sulllclcut influence to luducu
lilm to accept the Invitation. At Mrs.
EHlnghmn's suggestion, prompted by
fidlth, Mrs. Grosvenor told Jack that
there wt-ro only children in tho Elllng
Jinin family, and for that evening tho
young lady appeared with her hair
bunging uueunflued down her back
and robed in a becoming snow white
dress, tho skirt of which reached only
midway between her knees and her
tinkles.
Upon her entrance Into the dining
room, where Mr. Konwortliy, much
bored in his efforts to pleaso his aunt,
sat waning for dinner to be announc
ed, his attention was Immediately us
ed on this falry-llko child who made
him u courtesy and began immediately
to chat with lilm In a very animated
fashion. Konwortliy, Judging from
her appearance, thought her to bo
about thirteen, but he bad nover
known a child of that ago to talk so
much like a woman,
Ms Elllngham refrained from any
mention of Mr. Kenwnithy's especial
bent until sho hud succeeded in liu
lui'Hslug him with tho fact that she
w.is a very nttrutUo child After
the dinner had been finished and the
two elderly Indies wore chatting over
a cup of tea, with childlike simplicity
she inveigled thu aeronaut into the
window sent, where sho hud hoard all
about hint, and turning on thu switch
set him going on the subject of flying,
listening while he talked as fast as he
wits accustomed to skim through the
nlr. Her Interruptions were few, but
struck him its being made to the
point.
Shortly before the guests departed
Miss Elllngham, putting her finger on
her lips as n sign of caution, whispered
to her coinpnnlon that sho was dying
to Hy. Would he take her with lilm?
Thu temptation was great, but the
resistance wits sufllclent to overcome
it. "I uever take women up with me.
I nm aware of the danger I incur, but
have no Inclination to take the respon
sibility of hurling others from a
height of a thousand feet to tho earth.
1 have on one or two occasions taken
a man friend with me, but I draw tho
lint at women."
"And Children?'" asked Edith, Hxlng
her blue eyes on lilm appeullngly.
"1 would rather take a child than an
adult," was the reply. "The younger
tho person the greater the Insensibil
ity to danger. If anything should hap
pen with you beside mo I should not
expect you to wreck the machine by
Interfering with me."
"Indeed, I would not."
"In your ense I must refuse solely on
tho ground that T would have no right
to permit you to risk your life."
"Will you take up my brother?"
"I didn't know that you havo n
brother."
"Will you grant mo for lilm what you
havo denied nio for myself?"
Edith threw all the pleading of which
sho was capablo into her expressive
eyes.
"I will."
"When?"
"After I have got my new machine
that hns been building for mo and
have tested It in trial trips."
"Very well; when you are ready
notify me, but say nothing nbout the
matter to nny one. If mother should
hear of It she would prevent it"
She took his hand mid pressed it
fervently. Tho pressure went straight
to his heart.
Mr. Konwortliy carried away with
lilm a very attractive picture, a young
girl In short dresses, with Iter hair
down her back and withal sulllclently
developed both physically and in
tellectually to pleaso ono who had conio
to manhood. Moreover, tho picture
did not fade. The fancy once caught
Is very tenacious, Kenworthy did not
go to see Edith ngaln, for he could
And no valid excuse to visit a child,
but not a day passed without ills see
ing her In his mind's eye.
One day sho received a noto from
lilm snylng that ho had thoroughly
tested his now aeroplane and was
ready to keep his pronilso to give her
brother an nlring. He would start
from a Held h which stood tho shed
covering his machlno the next after
noon at l o'clock. When that hour
arrived a boy Jumped tho fence and
strode toward the aeronnut. On reach
ing Kenworthy he said that his sister,
Edith Ellliigham, hud sent lilm. saying
that ho would bu taken up In an aero
plane. "You're the image of your sister, only
you are dark and she Is light. Are you
twins?"
"Yes," faltered the boy, quailing un
der tho Inquisitive gaze.
Kenworthy's mind being Intent on
his preparations for his flight, ho
turned away and when they were
completed invited tho boy to a seat
beside htm. They roso slowly, the
latter holding to the machlno with u
grip which if strong enough would
have crushed It. Tho neronaut cast a
glance nsldo and noticed Hint the hand
was whlto and shapely. But one guid
ing a machlno rising higher and higher
has no time for other observations
than those connected with his flight,
and Jack having a neck at risk be
sides his own felt an extra amount of
responsibility resting upon his shoul
ders. Ills companion sat still, display
ing no fear, but feeling a great terror.
Tho hills and tho houses grow smaller
and smaller below them and they
seemed hung upon nothing. Tho air i
which had been quiet below was
blustering above, and suddenly the
machlno tilted llko n bird changing lis
course. A suppressed cry escaped the ,
boy. ,
"I've kept my pronilso to your sis. '
ter." said Jack, "and I think we had
better descend."
No objection being raised, the aero -
mint began tho descent
All went well
till thoy wero within 100 feet of thu
ground from which they started, when
something snapped and the speed of
tho propellers was visibly reduced. It
was ovldent front tho aeronaut's sud
den pulling upon lovers that something
had happenci. Indeed, ho found It
necessary to glide on nn Incline down
upon tho earth. Ho succeeded in do
ing so, and when the machlno stopped
running on Its wheels the arms of his
boy passenger wero clasped tightly
around his neck.
He unclasped them, and then found
that tho boy had fainted. Kenworthy
took lilm In his arms mid laid lilm on
the grass. Thinking to rouse him, he
ripped open his Jacket nnd unloosened
his collar.
Tho secret wns out or, rather. It be
gun to come out for though Jack knew
the boy wns n girl ho did not know a
great many other things thnt he learn

A Scientific
Experiment
With a View to Dem
onstratintf the Na
ture of Love
By F. A. M1TCHEL ,
4A'r$AWi'wirVl'vv$A&A -
Notwithstanding that every effort
has been made recently to prevent a
certain sclentlllc discovery, or, rather,
its application, front being known to
the public, it has leaked out and is pro
ducing a great deal of talk. We are
happy to announce that a reporter of
this paper got wind of what has been
going on and by diligence has ferreted
the matter out. A part of the story
conies from a private gentleman, Mr.
Samuel Illgglnbothiini; a part from in
vestlgatois in tho Institute For Origi
nal Ucseareh, while the rest is made
up from various persons connected
with one of tho most remarkable scien
tific wonders the world has ever seen.
This is the story as constructed from
the material at hand:
One bright morning Mr. Illgginboth
nm entered the reception room nt the
Instltuto For Original Research and
sent In card to Dr. Currelton. When
the doctor nppeared Mr. Illgglnbothani
said:
"Doctor, I am not a scientific man,
but I bnvo been thinking on some of
tho results obtained by your experi
ments, and I hnvo come to believe that
a certain something I wished produced
is possible."
"Bo seated, sir," was the response.
The two snt down, and Dr. Cnrrclton
gnvo his visitor his attention.
"As you nro aware," Mr. Iligglnboth
am proceeded, "this is nn ago of inter
est in human beings physically and
scientifically considered. A few years
I ago the great Edison nssertcd that
memory was a camera by which events
! are photographed on plates to bo called
up at will. Then came another scion-
, tlst proposing a possible clew to deter-
I mining sex by watching plnnts, and
lastly a president of the Association
For the Advancement of Science has
Indicated that the Immortality of tho
I soul inny be proved scientifically.
! "Tho especial branch of these dis
coveries to which I would direct your
attention Is the photographic nature
of the human brain. Thirty years ago
a single photograph of an object was
I taken; now a quick succession of pic
tures of a moving object passed before
the eye gives motion. By the develop
ment of this principle photographic
plays are enacted on the nilntlc stage.
Likewise Infinitely delicate photo
graphs on the human brain produce
impressions which make up our rela
tions with tho outside world."
I Mr. Illgglnbothani paused nnd then
added sententlously, "In other words,
photo plays are enacted on the same
, principle as those of human life."
Dr. Currolton's attention changed
from indifference to interest. "I don't
know," ho said, "that the matter ever
occurred to mo In exactly that light."
"My object In seeking this Inter
view," resumed Mr. Illgglnbothani, "is
not to enunciate a thought, but to
consult with you on the application of
a principle. I havo accumulated a
largo fortune, sir, and desire to trans
mit it to my descendants. I have one
child, a son, but lie has met with a
misfortune in thu loss of a girl he loved
and has vowed that ho will never
marry. He eschews women's society,
'nourishing his love for the dead
through n picture of her when she
lived. On account of his celibacy, nt
his death the fortune that I have spent
years of toll In heaping up must lie
disintegrated."
The speaker paused. Dr. Cnrrclton
snld thnt he did not understand-tho
connection between his enunclntlon of
n principle and this disappointment In
his son's celibacy, whereupon Mr. Illg
glnbothani proceeded.
"My son's love 1 do not consider In
tho nature of romance, but a material
condition. Indeed, today slnco the
death of the object It Is reduced to a
matter of memory. No more mental
photographic pictures of her nro Im
printed on Ids brnln; Instead of photo
graphic action, so to speak, there is
photographic snineness. just as beforo
1 tho moving wo had but n single lm-
movnblo picture."
"I think T begin to get your drift,"
snld Dr. Cnrrclton. "What
Cnrrclton. "What you pro-
poso Is to start again tho life pictures
on your son's brnln, producing impres
sions which mny tend In another di
rection."
"Exactly!" exclulined tho visitor, evi
dently much plensed nt being under
stood. "And you would llko nio to invent a
process by which this may be done?"
"That wns my object in calling upon
you, sir."
"H'tii." said tho scientist thoughtful
ly. "You hnve given me n problem to
solve which I believe will one day Di.
solved, but I fear that 1 ant not now
up to tho work. However. I will think
It ovor and If I hit upon any method
worth tho trying I will advise you."
Tho visitor departed, leaving his nd
dress, but owing to the dlllleulty of
tho problem ho had left for solution
ho had but little hope of the scientist's
success. Ho heard nothing from Dr.
Currelton for several months, then re
ceived a note Inviting lilm to call on
him nt tho Institute. When the two
wero ngaln together the doctor snld:
"I hnvo been unnblo to dismiss fm
?-??;
my mind tho ptol.leni jnu ottered me.
Vnrlous plans hat e suggested tlioin
solves for accomplishing your object.
To chnngo the improsslons on your
son's mind from ono who Is dead to
one who lives must bo effected, If at
nil, in one of two wnys first, a new
woman may be Introduced to make
him forgot his dead love for her."
"Impossible," said Mr. Illgglubothnni.
"He will have nothing to do with nny
woman."
"The other nlternntlve Is to find a
woman-not unlike his dead love give
nn artist a Hkoncss of both the dead
and the living, have lilm paint n num
ber of portraits showing a gradual
transition of the features of the dead
to those of thu living mid substitute
these pictures, one after another, in
place of the ono through which your
son nourishes his love."
"Solved:" exclaimed Mr. Illggln
botham, grasping the scientist's hand
enthusiastically.
"Not so fast. You must remember
that It Is not a face or figure that alono
produces love; there nro many Idiosyn
crasies that combine to that end. While
the photographic Impressions on your
son's brain may be grndunlly replnced
by nnother combination It docs not fol
low that the Individuality wo cnll soul
will be able to charm him."
"We mny at least make tho experi
ment" "Yes, wo may do that and there is a
reasonable expectation that If we aro
successful in effecting the substitution
of'physicnl features in your son's brain
ho may fall in with the other differ
ences under the Influence of another
mental faculty."
"That Is?"
"The imagination."
"The imagination?"
"Yes. Let your son once bo intro
duced to the living womnn whose fea
tures through the portraits havo re
placed on his brain those of tho dead,
and ho will bo so pleased that bo will
Imagine the living possesses the charms
which he ndmlred In the dead."
"Professor," exclaimed Mr. Illggln
botham, "I have read of your scientific
victories published to tho world, but I
never thought that I should bo the
humble Instrument of drawing forth
ono of the most remarkable of them
all."
"You arc showing the importance of
one of the faculties I have mentioned,"
remarked the doctor coolly.
"What ono?"
"Tho Imagination. No sooner do I
suggest a method of procedure than
you Imagine the work to bo accom
plished. You may overcome the ob
stacles that are to be expected, but I
fear you will not"
"Leave that to me. I shall leave no
stone unturned to accomplish my pur
pose. 1 shall proceed with all the care,
exactness and delicacy that you scien
tists practice in your own experi
ments." Grasping Dr. Carrelton's hnnd and
squeezing It so that the scientist cried
out with pain, the enthusiastic niggln
bothani took his departure.
It was not long after this that Al
bert Illgginbothnni, standing beforo the.
picture of his dead love, noticed n
slight change, it being fresher looking
than before. He spoke to bis father
about the matter and was told that be
had sought to please his son by calling
In a picture cleaner to take the dirt off
it. Occasionally thereafter Albert fan
cied he saw some change in his picture,
but was not sure. During a year a
dozen pictures wore substituted. In the
twelfth little remained of the features
of the dead; indeed, it was a portrait
of Miss Anna Scarsdale, a living per
son. Mr. Higglnbotham, Sr., had found
this young woman somewhat resem
bling his son's dead love after a long
search. He hud Interested her in ills
plan concerning his son, and she had
consented to lend herself for the ex
periment. But sho did not consent If
it were successful to marry Albert.
She was well off In her own right and
disposed to marry only for love.
After her own portrait had taken the
place of the one worshiped by young
Illgglnbothani, ono day when he was at
homo sho called on his father ostcnsl-bly-on
a matter of business. Albert saw
her as she passed out and was, para
lyzed with astonishment Hastening
to his father, ho Inquired who she wns
nnd, taking lilm to the supposed pic
ture of the girl he hnd lost, exclaimed:
"Can It be possible?"
"What possible?"
"That there was some mistake that
Edith lives."
"No, my dear boy. This young lady
Is not Edith. Sho Is Miss Scnrsdnle, a
very estimable person."
"Where can I find her?"
"Do you wish to know her?"
"Indeed, I do."
"Very well. Wo will have her to
dinner."
"Tomorrow today?"
"Tomorrow If sho Is disengaged."
Dr. Carrelton that afternoon received
a visit from Mr. Hlgglnbothum, who
took the doctor In his arms in n bear
hug nnd nearly crushed tho life out of
lilm.
"Success!"
"Success?"
"Yes. My son bus seen the living
womnn, and sho will dine with us to
morrow. You must come to the wed
ding." "If it takes place."
It did take place within n few
months. Albert Illgglnbothani married
Anna Soarsdnle, and the match turned
out a very happy one.
This is probably tho first case in
which tlto tnntorlnl constitution of ovo
has been scientifically proved. Pnrents
with sons and daughters who persist In
making unfortunate marrloges should
bo encouraged to hopo that their chll
dren's unions may bo guided scientifically.
