AT EVENTIDE.
The tired breezes nro tucked to rest
In the oloud-bid far away,
1'lie vvavtw nre pies-aed to the placid breast
Of the gleaming, dreaming bay;
The shore line swims In n hazy boat.
Asleep In the sea nndslty,
And the mullled beat whore the btoal'.crs
meet
la u soft, sweet lullaby. 4
The pine-clad hill husn crimson crown
Of glittering stinsjt glows,
The roofs pf brown In the distant town
Are bathed In a blush of rose:
The radiant ripples ahlno and ahlft
In shimmering sin'"'.'' of gold,
The se.v.vtcds lift and drowse and drift,
And the Jellies 111 1 and fold.
The great sun sinks, and the gray fog heaps
Ilia clonk on the silent sea,
The nlglu-wlr.d crcipa where the ocean
Hleeps,
And the wavelets wake In glee;
Across the bay like n silver star
Thero twinkles the harbor light,
And faint and far from the outer bar
The sea-birds call "Good night."

CHAI'TKIl XIV.
At half after seven o'clock that even
ing1 Dr. Lampkin was waiting for Hen
dricks at the hitter's cilice. Piompt'y
at the time set by the detective he hur
ried into the room out of breath. At a
lance it was plain to Lumpkin that l.e
had met with no success.
"It's uo good," said Hendricks, film
ing1. "1 can't get the slightest hint n
to his whereabouts. They say he lias
left the city, and there it ends."
"What are you going1 to do next?"
questioned Lampkin. "This ease is fret
ting tin life out of ine. 1 never felt j
much concern over anything in my
life."
Hendricks' brows ran together and,
without making a reply, he went into
the adjoining room and Lampkin heard
him ring the telephone. There was u
pause; then he heard the oiee of the
detective calmly asking for the con
nection. Thou tensely:
"Is that Miss Huntington '."'
Pause of a moment. Then Hendricks'
voice:
"Hut. you ought not to sit up there
like that. I want to say that Dr. Lump
kin and 1 are going out into the coun
try, and that you need not expect to
hear from me again to-night."
Another pause, then the voice of the
detective broke the silence:
"Yes, really, I can tell you nothing
to-night. 1 am sorry to say that so far
1 have been unsuccessful, but while
there is life, jou know, there is hope."
Then there was silence for a moment
nnd Hendricks rang olV. When -he en
tered the room he was white if the face,
nnd'liis fat handsr-tlie hands wltich hnd
Oghtcucd nbout the throats and wrist
if a hundred criminals were, trem-

"OIil 1111111,"' he tnid, "1 Linn' her full
to the floor just now. I heard her mint J
faercam and run to her." Hendricks sat
down nnd leaned on his desk. There
was something in his eyes tint Lamp
kin hnd never seen in the eyes of any
htimtut being.
"Doctor," Hendricks added, "if 1 do
run across that dirty scamp, I I am
afraid I never can wait for Justice to
take Its course. I am satisfied that he
Is not only Glelow's abductor, but that
he is the man who has tried twice to do
me tip in such a cowardly fashion."
Then Hendricks shook himseH, as If
ashamed of his outburst, and leaned
back in the light of the green-shaded
lamp. '
"I heard you telephone .Miss Hunt
ington that you and 1 were going out
into the country," said Lampkin. "Was
that only a pretext 7"
"No, I am going out to have a talk
with Kola, and as yon said you'd like
to sec his big rambling den, I want to
take you along for company."
"Nothing could please me more."
"I have ordered a carriage to meet us
at the One Hundiod nnd Twenty-fifth
street elevated station. Come on, I'm
ready."
As the carriage, after having passed
through a rather dense wood lor about
half n mile, drew up at. the old brick
mansion with its three nnd a half
stories and massive fluted columns
reaching from the ground to the rather
Hut roof, Lampkin remarked:
"Rather an isolated place. No bad
place for the gang of robbers of which
you spoke."
"It just, suits Kola, as I said once be
fore," answered Hendricks. "Py the
time his hoodwinked customers get here
they arc prepared for anything im
aginative." Tolling -the drive to wait for them at
the door they alighted. There was but
one light in sight and that was a dis
mal red one which could be seen
through the old-far hioned side lights of
the big door on the stone veranda.
There was no bell on the door, but sim
ply a quaint old knocker.
"I wish," observed Hendricks. "that it
were day instead of night. You can
form no idea of the picturesque rugged
ues.s of the scenery. You sec we came
by the old road through the woods, bill
just, behind the house there is n new
drive. At this point it has been cut J
through solid stone, and there is a oh IT.
within 100 foot of us, over a hundred
feet in height. In blasting Hi" stone
away, it was thought that the old man
sion became unsafe, especially as it is
believed that there arc caverns under
the hill."
Hendricks mounted the stops and
used the knocker vigoiously. The
clatter had scarcely died out when the
tones of a bell r.r, soft and mellow as
cathedral chimes in the distance came
from the house.
"Kola knows my rap nnd the bell is
a signal to his attendant to admit mo,"
said Jlond ricks. "If I make no mistake
3 on are going to be repaid for your ride
out. here. In p?ychic torn-foolery and
mysticism you -ire a schoolboy com
pared to Kola. He imbibed it at the
dusky breast of s-. eastern mother, line"
his ory life is steeped in it."
The door was opened by an Indian in
the costume of his country. Ho placed
his finger on his lip to indicate thai,
they wore to remain silent, and then
gave a salaam that brought his turban
almost into contact with the lloor.
"I want to see your master," whis
pered Hendricks, handing him liiscard.
Again the man bowed silently, closed
the great door, and loft them in the
spacious hall. With many and profuse
draperies, Kola had hung the walls and
ceiling so that Hie effect was distinctly
oriental. The ornaments, scrolls, paint
ings and statues were all eastern, but
what struck Lumpkin most forcibly,
perhaps because It was so ill suited to
its environment, was a dragon of carved
walnut, which stood at the foot of the
wide curving stairway.
"That belong.- to the house," ex
plained Hendricks in a whisper. "It is
a genuine curiosity. The carving !, ex
cellent. One would thuikitof Japanese
origin, but if you will notice, itisof the
same material as the balustrade, and
that must have been made in this coun
try." Just then the attendant glided from
between two heavy silken curtains, and
with another salaam, invited them to
pass before him. Doing so, they found
themselves in Kola's big reception-room.
Here their vision was given a rare treat.
The lessee of the old ruin had removed
the two floors above the one on which
they stood, giving a becoming altitude
to the walls, which were gracefully
draped with long (lowing hangings of
different blending cloths. The ceiling
was disguised by a filmy mass of white
material, as gauzy a. cobwebs, behind
which shone rod and yellow lights, like
.signal fires in a mist.
Lampkin almost uttered an exclama
tion of dejight, but the impressive manner-of
the attendant and Hendricks'
unwonted silence cheeked the impulse.
The servant gave them seats with their
backs to the door through which they
had entered, and then he stood still in
the center of the room, his head bowed,
hia turban'held 'n fiont of him.
After a moment the mellow-toned
bell, which they had heard before, nnd
which was suspended somewhere
among the lights overhead, struck three
I times slowly. Then a white light blazed
un and Kola was seen in a hitherto dark
.ikuvo. He wore Ills graj gown nnd
i .sc-fl'ting cowl, and was scon to ho
pacing back and forth. Without seem
ing conscious of their presence so near
him, he picked up an unllglited electric
bulb and turned the button. Then
holding the light in his right hand, he
approached a black tripod over which
lay a red cloth. He lifted the cloth, and
a big polished crystal sphere was ox
posed to view. It was nbout ton inches
In diameter and as clear as a diamond.
Reflecting the dull, sensuous lights over
head, and the bright rays of the electric
bulb, it was certainly a marvelous sight.
Still Koln seemed unconscious of
their proximity. From the walls near
hiili the smoke of incense began to rise,
a rosy" light pervaded the room, and soft,
seductive music was hoard somewhere
above.
Kola held the electric bulb over the
crystal and began to gii7c into its
depths, uttering in sing-song tones
words of a strange tongue.
Lampkin heard the detective take a
deep, impatient breath, and then his
voice jarred harshly through the room.
"Oh, 1 say, Kola!" he remonstrated.
"I en me out here the other day and had
to sit and watch you go through this
sort of thing till 1 was obliged to Ioae.
l-'or the sake of"
Kola turned furiously, his features
working wildly. Holding up his hand,
ho said:
"You must be patient, Mr. Hendricks.
You are as ignorant as an infant of the
importance of what 1 am doing. You
laugh at what you don't umlcrutnml,
but you don't know all that there is to
be known. Jlight this minute I inn
rending for you, and seeing what your
untutored eyes will never see. I know
you w ere coming. 1 saw it here," touch
ing the crystal. "1 know what you
don't know about the case you are
working on. If your eye were only
trained you could see it now in the crys
tal." "Pardon me," said Hendricks, "that is
what I come to nee you about. I am
about to the end of my resources, and
something must be dune."
"Wait!" Kola turned to the crystal.
The music changed to a weird air Ilk'.
a Chinese funeral chant. After a pause
of several minutes he looked up.
"The other night I was reading the
crystal. 1 saw a big hotel. A man was
i . i
"utt'f J& "
VJ (V
KOLA TURNED FURIOUSLY
murdered; his body was shipped of'
somewhere in a trunk; its ashes wore re
turned by express, nnd placed in an urn
together with a severed hand. The
jo nng man, who had murdered his
rival, went to his rooms his studio;
there he remained a week and then he
lied south? yes, it was south. I went
into a trance and my astral bodj1 mj1
spirit followed him. I saw him
aboard a ship, hound for Liverpool. 1
was near hint on dock one dark night,
and saw him hurl himself into the
water. He is dead."
"Hot! Hubbish!" exclaimed Hen
dricks. "You hau been reading the
newspapers, Kola."
The face of the Indian darkened; it
was terrible to behold. Turning olTthe
electric light, and coloring up the crys
tal as if to protect it from the profane
gaze of an unbeliever, he strode from
the alcove and stood before Ilondriek"-.
When next he spoke his voice was
liuskj", tremulous, almost threatening.
"You doubt it?" lie said, his accent
for the first time showing a slight for
eign touch.
"I do, inj' boy, most thorough.j1, and
I really did think jou would have more
respect for uw than to make such ab
surd statements to my face."
Kola twist i
his long hands together
in the folds of his gown
"As to the irjstal," he began, "it i-
of Inestimable alue. It was cut from
the most perfectly translucent rock
crystal on eaiih, and it took a man'.
lifetiine to po isli it. T inherited it. It
is reverenced bj the ancient Society of
llosicrutiuns and the Society of the H
luniinati. You, whose mind is schooled
to know onlj the signification of fallen
straws and o.iips of material events, can
know nothing of what is revealed to a
life-long student of the occult."
"I was art ridiculing the powers of
your glass globe," said Hendricks,
blendinga sneer and a smile; "but when
you said you uad gone out of your bodj
and roamed all round oer sea and land,
well, you Know that is a little to.
much."
Kola's face darkened again. 1'or a
moment he bent oer the back of one of
the cai ved chair..
"Hendricks," he began with tight Up-..
"You are a sensible man In mo: things
L4sfS L 14
and 1 want ji ur gnrd opinion. Now,
I am' willing fi.r you to put me to nny
sort of test you or Dr. Lampkin maj
suggest to proe the titith of my
claims."
"Oh, I haven't time just now for that
sort of thing," niiMvered Hendricks.
"L came out here to have a talk with
you about "
"I know that vcv well," broke in the
adept, "but It does not suit me to dis
cuss anything v!ih you till you ac
knowledge that I can do everything 1
claim. After you are eoniinecd, and
you will be, mj dear sir, then you will
value the information I gave you just
now, and it may moan much to you. It
will not take five minutes for the tost
1 propose."
"Well, what is it?" asked Hendricks,
who had noted Dr. Lumpkin's look of
Intense interest in Kola's remarks.
"It is this," said Kola, impressively.
"I will give jou the opportunity to
name any article at uity distance from
us that jou wish. Then I will recline
on that. couch Uioro, iind after lv min
utes has passed, 1 will allow Dr. Lump
kin to examine my body to see if It is
not absolutely t the very lowest pos
sible stage of itallty. As a signal, to
show when the spirit has loft my body,
I will cause the bell morhoad to strike
once. Then, within five minutes from
that time, I will bring to you hero what
cer article jou have decided on."
"You can do that?" exclaimed Lump
kin, impiilsielj
"Try me," answered the Indian.
"Think of anything, Mr. Hendricks
in j import.ant paper in jour olllee or
book or article in your house."
Kola was bunding towards Hendricks
and gazing fixedly iuto his eyes. Lamp
kin, who was a member of thu Psyehical
IJosoareh sne'ety of London, was taken
almost out of himself by the Indian's
earnest uos3 and his novel proposition.
Hendricks laughed.
"llring me my Pubic." he said lightly.
"It is a beautiful book bound In gold
and pearls, which was presented to me
by a good old bishop for whom 1 once
did a favor."
"The Idea of your having a Hible,"
jested Kola, his eyes falling to the lloor.
"Now, quick! think of something any
thing in yourotiieeor Or. Lumpkin's."
Hendricks glanced at the doctor with
a smite which seemed to say: "I have
him there; watch me make hjin squirm
out ,f hia own proposition."
"The Uible or nothing," ho said to
Kola. "(Jot into your trance and bring
mo my JJible from home. I want to
road a chapter on mj1 way back. You
can't mistake it. I.t is bound in I'ussian
leather and has old and pearl trim
mings." For a moment Kola stood as if un
decided; thou he went to the lounge and
threw himself on it.
"You will hae to toll mo whore it is."
he said. "I confess that I know little
more when out of mj bodj1 about inn1
terial things than I do now. People,
like that fleeing artist, sometimes draw
me to them mngi,etienllj but auj1 in
animate thing is dilTorent. Where Is
the book?"
Hendricks laughed.
"It is on the center table in the li
brary, directly under the chandelier;
jou can't miss it."
"Thanks," said the Indian. "Now, Dr.
Lampkin, when jou hear the bell
strike, make an examination of my
body. Then when the bell strikes. fio
minutes later, sit quiet and and Mr.
Hendricks shall have his proof."
"If you do what you propose," said
Hendricks, s.tiil tauntiiiglj1, "you will
make a convert of me, but mind, Kola,
I don't want any explanations about un
favorable conditions preventing'1 the
performance, or anything of that kind.
It won't go down."
Kola made no nnswer. The music
overhead had ceased. The clouds of in
cense had risen and hovered about the
red and yellow lights above. The In
dian's breast heaved, as he took a deep
breath, and then he In.v still. (Jradually
he gievv paler and paler, fill he looked
like a corpse. His features and limbs
were rigid. Hendricks up to this mo
ment had been smiling at the. 'ibsurdity
of Kola's proposal, hut the earnestness
depicted on Dr. Lampkin's face finally
influenced him, and lie grew strangely
quiet.
In about five minutes the bell over
head struck. There was a fragmentary
wave of soft music, and It died away i"
the distance.
