" said a prominent physi cian to a HKI : representative yesterday , pointing to a gentleman well known in Omaha commercial 'circles , "is ono of the most incurable monomaniacs that over lived , .lust watch him a moment and see if you detect anything strange about him. " ' The gentleman was walking west on the opposite side bf Karnam street. Kvory moment or tWo ho would look en tirely around. Tins ho repealed no less than twelve times while walking ono block. Just before he reached Six teenth street 'lie perceptibly lessened his gait and sis ho reached the corner ho stopped and peered anxiously around it. "Well , do you notieo anything pecu liar ? " asked the physician. "Nothing , except that ho appears to be looking for some one , or expecting ( somebody to overtake him. " "That s just it. Ho is looking for some one. lie is looking for a demon. " "A what ? " "Just what I say ; ho imagines him self pursued by a liond or liends and when on the street is in mortal fear that he will bo attacked by them. But I'll tell you the story. I have known Mr. for fourteen years , lie came to Omaha during the year IbS Land engaged in the business which has reached such great proportions now. IIo prospered - pored from the start and it often hap pened that largo sums of money were paid into his counting rooms after bank- ingjiours. On such occasions it was ' his'eustoin to take the money homo with him , preferring that risk to the ono of leaving it in. the safe at his Illce. " "One. night Mr. was unusually late in leaving hisollico , and ho carried with him over $2,000 in cash , paid in just after dark. Just as ho reached the cor ner of the street on-.whieh ho lived a masked robber sprang upon him and dealt him a terrible blow , with some in strument , in the back of the head , knocking him senseless. " "He was picked up an hour later and removed to his home. Of course the $2,000 was gone. I was called to attend him and through the long weeks of brain fever that followed I visited him daily. IIo was delirious nearly all of the time , and his constant erv was 'He's following me again ! He's following me again ! ' " "Well , finally he became convales cent and soon was back at work in his olllce. No change was noticed in his demeanor by his friends and em ployes. Ho was the same keen _ business man as over , and worked with ail his old-timo vigor. I was the only ono who detected a slight change. You see , brain diseases have always been my hobby , and when ho became physically cured , I watched him constantly. I no ticed a scared look in his eyes when outside of his homo-or olllco , and that ho was extremely reluctant to'go on the street after dark. lOne day , about a year ago when the jlniilding materials wore piled high in fj-ontof the now First National bank ho and I were walking together up Farnam street. He , as usual , kept looking back , and when we reached the bank qorner he was peer ing around it , f\s you saw him do a little while ago. At this instant an old friend stopped from behind the pile of bricks andf "before Mr. saw him gave hiin a .slap on the back , saying : 'Hollo , ! ' Mr. fainted clear away , .and wo took him homo in a cab. It wan all I could do to save him from another attack of brain fever. IIo remained at homo fully two weeks before I would let him comedown town. "His nervous system had received a severe shock , and' ' ho would shudder when anyone rang trio bell. lie seemed to doubt his safety eyen in his own homo. But this wore oil , and I linally induced him to toll mo his trouble. Ilosaid that when ho was on the street ho was im- nressed with the idea that ho was fol lowed , and liis ear could detect the breathing of the man. This lie said was always the case. IIo could hoar no foot steps only that awful breathing. When at home or at the olllco this sensation en- tirel.v disappeared. Now , that's the story. Queer ono , isn't it ? How do I explain it ? Why , I can't. IIo is so ra tional on every subject but this one haunting fear , that it puzzles me , and I do not think the case lias a paralell in medical history. PKPPKUMINT DROPS.
