You are undoubtedly correct." w.M
Dr. Bell VI have suspected It from the
OrsL"
"I never heard of It," exclaimed Dr.
Robertson. "What is It?"
"A new poison." rowpond.-d Preblo.
"It was described In last Sunday's
Globe. The chemist who discovered It
Is said to have experimented with U
upon animals. Th serusattons which
accompany death from It are so Intense
ly agreeaula as to produce a reooRl's
Ue effect even upon the faces of dumb
brutes. Th story was that one of the
doctor's assistants had committed sui
cide with H; and It was that case whloli
gave (the only knowledge which thi
world has of Its effect upon human be
ings. It absolutely defies detection by
analysis, and the odor and the renvirk
able expressrior upon tha face of tlis
dead are the only means by which U
may be dntented."
"You don"t mean to say that such a
poison as that was described In a news
paper." exclaimed the coroner.
"Its method of preparation wa only
Nnted t." replied Preble. "But the
hint was very bro'hd. I was able to
make it."
"What! You have actually prepared
(his subftance?"
"It have: and I will tell you that It is
'done simply by dlsolvlng one of the new
synthetic medicines sold almost with
out restriction In every drug store In
chloroform. I should Judge that a drop
fit mixed with the gum on a poatape
stamp would kill a man In about ten
seconds."
"But coukl this girt make It?" de
manded t he coroner.
"Anybody can make it." replied Pre
ble. 'The. article in the paper was a
mere riddle. It did not require a chem
ist, but only a good guesser. to solve H."
"But her letter." I objected, "has be.-n
delayed four days. That leaves very
llule ttme."
"This 4s Friday," said Preble. "Her
letter Is postmarked Tuesday."
"I'll never believe It." I exclaimed.
"The Idea U preposterous that that

' "But. my dear sir," Interrupted Dr.
Bell, "you forget that the stamp ktllei

tamp."
"I wan to send a telegram to this
Mr. Adams in Cornwall." said Preble
to me. "If I write It here, will you taka
It to the telegraph office In the west cor
ridor?" I agreed, and he wrote the dispatch.

police man would have thrust her back,
but she resisted.
'Wteaae kit me,in," she cried. "You
most. I am his niece, Margaret Brand."
I was mute with surprise.
"By all means; let Miss Brand come
In," said Preble. "And, by the way,

The policemen stepped aside and the
young woman entered. I caught only a
glimpse of her as she hurried by me to-

Vhere her uncle's body had been laid
upon some chairs placed side by side.
Her face possessed the element of
beauty, but was disfigured by excessive
leanoen and lines of care.
Without a momen's'hesltatlon she re
moved the. handkerchief which, had
been laid upon his face. She satisfied
herself that he was dead by exactly
the same means that Dr. Bell had em
ployed, and apparently with the same
technical skill.
" "What was the cause of death?" she
asked, turning to Bell and Robertson,
who stood side by side.
It was evident that she knew at a
(lance that they were physicians.
"Ton should be' able to answer that
question," said the coroner. "You seem
- towbave bad medical training."
" have," she' replied. "My father
was a physician, and I studied with
trim for years. But I do not see any In
dication here. If be has been murdered,
the poison Is one with which I am not

striking In. "I will show you a des

fler our eyes. We all stared at herr, and
" far myself I win admit that her confes
sion of a medical training bad removed
any prejudice In her favor. I believed

uncle's will, . and sent the poisoned

enough to look over his shoulder, and
my curiosity compelled me to do It.
The first word I saw" on the paper was
gelothanla. Th? clipping contained the
prlr. ?lpal part of the description of that
poison. '
iMy mind was mad? up. The girl was
mad. I expected that her noxt words
would be maniacal boasting of br
crime. '
Preble turned from me, and I could
not see what Ji was doing, but he
e.vmed to be examining the clipping.
Jur t then there wa a knock ujwn the
door, and the policeman admitted a

meanor as a member of "the force."

"I prmlrt d to show you a description
of that poison." he said. "This Is the
piper which contained It. but unfortu
r;ely It has been cut out."
"Whst I" all thlur exclaimed the cor
oner. v'Mr. Preble, I am becoming ut-
I terly confused."
i Th detective paJ?d the clipping to
tr? coroner.
I "lie careful of It." he said. "It will
! b? cr?ntliil In the case."
i T!:e coror.r looked at it.
I "I don't k anything but some ad
' vrrtlsementl of work for women." he
said. "One of them to marked."
"Turn It over," said Preble.
Dr. Robertson did so. and he positive
ly gasped with astonishment.
"U'ntl?men.".ald Preble. "I want to
a?k you a question. What does a man
do about ten seconds before he licks a
postage rlamp?"
V. stared at one another, unable to
understand what he meant.
"Thi article says." continued the d?-
t'rv,"that this poison works In about
I ten seconds. It produces no painful ef
i feci at first: Indeed, to the best of my
knowledge. It Is r.ct perceived except by
reason of Its taste, which is agreeable.
But at the end of that Interval the vic
tim dlje.
"Now you are all firmly persuaded
that .that postage sitamp killed Mr.
Brand, because It was found upon his
torju-?. But Isn't tba.t evidence that W
did not kill him? Does a man bold a
stamp In his mouth ten seconds? Cer
tainty not.
"Imagine yourselves In his position.
He has-finished his letter, and directed
the envelope. He seals the envelope,
and about ten saconds later he wets the
Kamp. In viw of these facts I say tt
was the envelope that killed htm, and
not the stamp."
There was silence for a momen. Then
the coroner said:
"Your reasoning seems good, Mr. Pre
ble, but where does It lead? What Is
your theory of the case?"
"Several facts are obvious," replied
Prebie. "In the first place somebody
has been stopping Miss Brand's letters
to her uncle. The last tetter was held
four days.and meanwhile It was opened,
as an examination of the envelope will
prove."
"That's true." said. Dr. Robertson,
after looking closely at the envelope;
"but I'm still in the dark. Your theory
Is, of course, that the criminal held the
letters lm order to separate Miaa Brand
from her uncle. When he found a
rtamp In one of the letters this Infernal
plot came to him. But didn't he poison
the stamp?"
"Do you find any M?mpa on Mr.
Brand's desk?" asked Preble.
"Yes; here are several. They seem
to hive been enclosed In the letters he
opened this morning."
"Exactly. Now, are you sure that
the one he used was that which was In
his niece's letter?"
"Why, no; that can hardly be prov
en." "Of course not; end the murderer
foresaw it. If he had poisoned the
stamp, be would not have been sure
that Mr. Brand would use U. at the
rlpht time. It might have been upon
h!'j desk for days; tt might have been
lori, or given to somebody else. What
ever r tamp Mr. Brand used was sure
to seem to be the once his niece sent.
Now s If you can find an unused en
velope on that desk."
Robertson and Bell searched, but
without aval).
"Now there's a certainty," said Pre
ble, with evident satisfaction. "The
murderer didn't go upon guess work.
He krvw that Mir, Brand would write
thct if Iter before he attended to any
thing efra. So he removed all the
evrlcpes, but not the stamps, for some
of thf m would be very likely to come In
the morning's malL. Who has access to
this desk?" .
Th question was suddenly addremed
to young Brand. He turned white to
the lips, and stammered:
"Sevpral person! In the office."
"Who are thay? Let every one who
has a key to this derk produce it."
Every employe was called, and one
key was found. It1 was Hairold Brand's.
He could rxit refuse to give tt up, for all
t'h? clerks knew that he had It.
By this time we all saw how the cur
rent was setting, and we were not sur
prised when Preble continued:
"This cltpptns; was a bold stroke. The
murderer knew (Mies Brand's poverty,
and that the was trying to get work.
It happened that the description of the
poison was 'backed' by some advertise
m:nts of work for women. What a
great discovery! The murderer cut tt
out; he marked one of the advertise
ments, and mailed the clipping to Miss
Brand. DM you not receive tt In that
way?"
Miss Brand replied in the affirmative.
"Hav you. the letter that accom
panied it?". .......
"No; I was told to destroy it. The
tetter said there were reasons. The
writing resembled my uncle's, as I re
membsred tt. I believed that he bad
cent me the clipping, and I was enraged.
Yet I thought tt best to follow the direc
tion, of the writer. The letter also told
ma to come to the city to-day to see
about the advertisement"
."This is a wild etory which you have
put Into her mouth," cried Harold
Brand. . . . . , . ;
"I have' something to back It," re
sponded Prble,""TMe paper from which
the description of the poison was cut
was found In one of the? great bags used
for the collection of waste paper m the
building where you live, Mr, Brand.
The first .thing I did .on getting a view
of this cass was to send a man to look
for that copy of the newspaper In that
building. He not only found tt, but he
found the man who bad the bag In the
elevator early In the morning when you
came along and thrust the paper Into
it. Of course be cannot positively swear
that tt was that paper, but I'm willing
to leave that point to the Jury."
"You are mad to accuse me of this
crime," cried Brand, with brembUnc
Uoa "What do I gain by my uncle's
death? a paltry sum. This girt inher
its much more than I."
"Not If she can be convicted of bis
murder." said Preble. "You know
enough law for that. Gentlemen" he
turned to us "so far as my Investiga
tion is concerned, it Is practically closed.

action Mil I saw Preble wrest some
thing from hh adversay'e hand.
The detective sprang to his feet. He
held before my eyed a little capsule
which. In a moment, he burst by the
pressure of his Angers.
"He was trying to anticipate his sen
tence," said Preble: "smell that."
I recognised the faint, delicious odor

DOES NOT NEED EYES.
Marvelous Powers of Dr. James R. Cocke,
Who, Thouyh Lacking Sight, Performs
Surgical Operations -His Wonderful
Control of Men.
From the Chicago Times-Herald.
Boston, July It. One of the most re
markable mem In this city Is Dr. James
R. Cocke. He la remarkable in several
respects. The one which appeals most
strongly to popular 'interest, perhaps,
Is this, that, though absolutely blind
from the time he was six days old, he
has surmounted the ordinary difficul
ties In the path of a medical education
and was able to graduate with very
high honors from one of the leading
medicUl schools of the country, and to
day has a practice that is both profit
able und of high standlr.g.
The curative properties of hypnotism,
or the service that hypnotism may ren
der to medical men In the cure of cer
tain forms of disease, mental and bodi
ly, has especially Interested Dr. Cocke.
In the first place, he thinks that the
term "hypnotism" Is a misnomer. "I
have never seen a hypnotized person
whose condition -was iden tical with that
of sleep' He defines hypnotUTn as a
self-Induced condition, not dependent
upon tany occult power of the operator,
and In speaking of this, adds: "The
real danger of hypnotism lies In the
fact that, owing to the mystery that
surrounds It, it may. In the Imaginative
and enthusiastic, produce by Its very
mystery a disturbed condition of the
mind similar to If not Identical with
the condition of religious monomania."
He believes hypnotism an assisting
curative agent in- these diseases, for in
stance: the opium habit, alcoholism,
functional nervous disturbances, such
as writer's cramp, etc., and Imperative
impulses, so called. 'Hypnotism may
also be employed to advantage In
breaking up certain vicious habits and
unnatural practices."
Faith of an Important Element.
The element of faith Is a very Im
portant one lr the production of hypno
tism. It is this element when misused
that makes hypnotism a very danger
ous thing. The tloctor says that "the
dangers of public exhibitions, made lu
dicrous as they are ty the operators,
should be condemned by all intelligent
people, tiot from the danger of hypno
tism In itself so much us from the lia
bility of the performers to disturb the
mental poise of that large mass of Ill
balanced Individuals which make up
no Inconsiderable part of society.
"It has often been) said that the bor
der line between sanltv land Insanity In
not sharply drawn, and persons study
ing this class of phenomena Intelligent
ly are soon made to realize .the force of
the saying, 'the insane people are not
all In the madhouses only.' Men and
women walk our streets with Impulses
of homicidal mania, with tendencies to
fulftlde, and ca.rry about with them all
soma of curious morbid Ideas. In the
study I have made of hypnotism and
the state simulating It I have indeed
been astonished to find how many
strange Impulses persons (apparently
sane carry about with ithem for years,
scarcely daring to admit them to them
selves, much less to confide them to
their friends."
Dr. Cocke's experience in applying
hypnotism to the cure of dlp'omarm
(chronic drunkenrtess) has been quite
Interesting. In twelve years he has
treated 1S9 persons, 124 of them men.
They ranged In age from 19 to 64 years,
an average of 45. The' total number
benefited 'by hypnotism as a cuniitlve
agent In connection with other reme
dies wa thirty-seven, about 23 per
cent. The cases apparently totally
cured were twen'ly-nlne In number,
about 11 'per cent. The total number
treated by hypnotism alone was fifteen,
the tot'al cured by hypnotism alon was
five. '
Dr. Cocks once bad a patient, a man

SS years of age, who was terribly afflict
ed with dipsomania. His family record
was bad. ' He began to drink when he
was IS years old, being brought home
from school one day In a beastly condi
tion. Six months later he was found
literally In the gutter. He rapidly grew
worse, and his relatives were in de
spair. At the age of 25 he fell heir to a
large property. For two years after he
drank very heavily and was at last
placed In an asylum for the insane.
In a year and a half he was released,
thought to be cured, but he soon lasped
Into his old habits. In the spring of
18S8 he went to Dr. Cocke. He was
readily hypnotized at the second sit
ting, and while in the hypnotic state
was told that he would not have a crav
ing for liquor for a period of two weeks.
This did not effect him, however, for
he was drunk again In four days. After
this his friends hunted him up In the
slums and brought him back to con
finement. When he had recovered from
the debauch he was taken again to the
doctor. He was again hypnotized and
given a pill composed of an Inert sub
stance. He was told that this pill
would take away his appetite for li
quor for a period of 'three days. At
the end of that time he was to come
back for another, lit, did so, was again
hypnotized, and a similar pill given
him. In the meantime his mental and
physical condition greatly improved.
About this time his mother, of whom
he was exceedingly fond, died sudden
ly and the old craving for drink re
turned. Before giving way to It he
went again to the doctor, was hypno
tised and kept under observation for
two weeks, by which time the cravlnir
had departed. When lut heard of, In
the spring of 1893, ho was In Clermany
studying painting, and apparently
free from the drink habit.
Hypnotism Does Not Always Care.
Dr. Cocke Is very frank In admitting
that his hypnotlo treatment does not
always cure. He tells of a lawyer who
was a constant and hnrd drinker. - He
was very readily hypnotized and told
that his appetite would vanish. This
did not prove the case. The "pill treat
ment" was applied, and fulled. Sug
gestion was tried and found wanting;
medicines and strychnine were tried,
and they failed. He was hypnotized
thirty-six times, and then the doctor
gave the case up.
The application of hypnotism to the
cure of hallucinations is quite as Inter
esting as in dipsomania. One of these
cases that came under Dr. Cocke's
treatment was that of a German baker,
51 years old, who whenever he was fall
ing asleep saw a white horse leaning
over him, and as soon as he was asleep
the horse pulled at the bedclothes and
always woke him. This had been going
on for years, when one day the baker
had the sensation of something steal
ing upon him from behind. Turning
about quickly he saw the white horse
reach out to bite him. The German
was a man of considerable Intelligence
and he knew perfectly well that It was
only a hallucination, but It made him
feel very uncomfortable nevertheless.
Later he heard noises as of somebody
Bpeaklng to him, sometimes harshly
and at other times kindly. He went as
a voluntary patient to an asylum, tried
medicines and consulted physicians to
no purpose. In the spring of 1S91 he
wna hypnotized at the eighth sitting by
Dr. Cocke, and subsequently three
times a week for eight weeks. The
first hypnosis changed the character
of the hallucination and after the third
one his nervous system was much dis
turbed. Paralysis that Jumped about
his body occurred and there was severe
nausea. Each manifestation was In
turn subdued by hypnotism and finally
at the end of eighteen weeks he was ap

Cannot' Compel Crimes. '.'
The doctor does' not agree with soma
of the French hypnotists who hold that
then power over the subject is so great
that crimes may be dictated. He has
given thCs branch of the situdy consid
erable attention, and told of the follow
ing experiment which b himself had
performed as a test. A girl was hyp
notized deeply and was handed a glass
of water wKh the statement that tt
wna a llghitied lamp. A broomstick
was placed across the room and the
girl was told that It was a man who in
tended to injure her. .
"I suggested that she throw the glass
of water (tbe supposing it was a lighted
lamp) at the broomstick, her enemy,
and she Immediately threw it with
much violence. Then a man was placed
across the room and ahe was given, in
stead of a glass of water, a lighted
lamp. I told her that the lamp was a
glass of water and that the man was
her brother. It was suggested to her
that his clothing was on fire, and ehe
was commanded to extinguish the fire
by throwing the lighted lamp at the
man (she supposing It was a glass of
wa-r). WllVut Iw-r knowledge a per
son was plaJl behind her to quickly
tfheek her mnvomenta. If desired. She
raised the lamp, hesltatedv wavered,
and then became very hysterical,
laughing and crying alternately. This
condition was i profound that ehe
camo very near dropping the ramp.
Immediately after she was quieted I
made a number of tests to provn beyond
question that she was deeply hypno
tized. Ilcst Subjects for Hypnotism.
Dr. Cocke 'believes that all persons are
susceptible to the hypnotic influence,
t'houk-ih, of course. In a greater or less
degree. If only time nough be allowed.
He said to tho writer: "You may deter
mine that you will not pubmlt, and, of
course, I cannot force you to. But the
next time you come I will have arranged
some mecCianlsm or other means by
which I will cause on your part by a
suddt-n loud noise or the falling of
some object an Involuntary start or
emotion, and before you have recover
ed from K I shall have produced some
degrees of hypnosis In you. The peo
plo easkst to hypnotize are business
mf n and soldiers; I use those as types
only. In other words, it is the man
trained to obey, of fixed habits of obed
ience to circumstance, duty or com
mand. Dr. Cocke was born In the south. He
early showed an aptitude for books,
and when he was old enough his parents
and friends read to him a great uVal.
In this way his elementary education
was flicqulrl. He has a marvelous
memory, and la early youth determined
to take up the study of invxlleinc. For
twelve years he practiced massage,
and ttiU training gave him an exquisite
skill and delicacy of touch, which has
olnce made him successful in physical
diagnosis.
While living in Philadelphia he
applied for admission to the medical
schools, but the authorities told him he
would cut himself more than his sub
jects if he ever got as far as the dis
secting room. He was not discouraged
aindame to Boston, where the author
ities of the medical school of Boston
reluctantly accepted him as a student.
There being no medical books for the
blind he was put to the somewhat heavy
expense of hiring a reader, and so re
markable is his memory that all that
was read to him, and almost the exact
text of the lectures, became accurately
fixed in his mind.
