Now an up-rolled rug along the floot Appals his feet. Ilis withered arm Shakes at the menace of a door, And every wind-waft does him harm. God, it is a piteous sight to see This ranger of the hills confined To the poor compass of his room Like a chained eagle on a tree, Lax-winged and gray and blind! Only in dream he sees the bloom On far hills where the red deer run; nly in dream he guides the swift canoe, Or stalks the crafty cat with dog and pol- ished gun.

Yet, for all that, Marshall Third was regarding him with unusual in- terest, and there was a suggestion of animation on his masklike face. “I understand, then, that your memory carries you no further back than, say, 3 or 4 o'clock this morn- ing?” he said. “Yes, that been a trifle earlier. s0 could not tell.” “Previous to that, you have abso- Jutely no recollection of your former existence—who you are, where you come from or what your business or profession is?” “None-——none; paused. “I have is so; it might have I had no watch, ana » .

I saw a policeman and spoke to him; he told me roughly to clear out. A second one, however, directed me to a station. where, after me scrae questions, I was: advised to make my way to Scotland Yard.” “Were you hungry?” “N-no. At first I felt very and deathly sick; later, I felt hungry. I am hungry now, I think.” The Vigilant made a his servant, gave him a whispered ‘order, and the little Jap trotted silently out of the room. “What happened Yard?” “Trey: referred me to yeu, saving that you were interested-—a ‘crank,’ I think they called it—in such cases as mina.” * The Vigilani's sérvant reappeared with Iiancheon laid ona tray. .It con- sisted of some pincapple slices on a plate, several other kinds of fruit, foie-gras, and one of the less-known brands of Moselle wine. Hardly the kind of a meal one would give to a carroty-haired tramp who had ad- mitted to being hungry. His | ‘visitor yet— was asking tired sign to Scotland at the fond doubtfully, almost abstractedly. Then, with another curious move- ment of passing his hand across his brow, he took a slice of pineapple and a rusk. He was hungry, there could be no mistake on that point. The pineapple finished, he reached out for the plate, and helped himself unconcernedly; then he picked over the various fruits. The wine, so far, he had left untouched. Yet he began to look about him with the air of a man who missed some detail of rou- tine. ‘The Vigilant frowned slightly, picked up a silver cigarette box from the table beside him, and pushed it across, together with some matches. The tramp’s face lightened at once. With a curt nod of thanks he felt automatically for a waistcoat pocket which was non-existent, gave an ex- clamation of annoyance, and lit a cigarette. After a few whiffs he reached out for the small bottle of wine with a grunt of ratisfaction. _. Marshall Third pick:.! up a news- paper haphazard from the pile beside him, and began to read the foreign intelligence half alcud. The Vigilan: read on, turning from the foreign in- telligence to thc report of the pre- vious night's debate in the Commons. His visitor helped himself to anotue= cigarette, but made no comment. Third turned to a telegram dealing with an obscure boundary question affecting the Persian Government. Before he had read six lines, he was interrupted by an exclamation of anger. “I tell you it's nonsense—utter nonsense!” exclaimed the tramp. “Any one but a noble the real power behind the scenes is the German chancellory. We had the same trouble in ’89, looked want to force our hand. I know it, I tell you. I have proof of it. We must stand firm. I will not tolerate a vacillating policy!” And with that he launched forth into a long tirade.

They | ERE 0 SEIEETD © 6S © WD habit, vet even his hand shook a little as he clutched the paper, not daring to put it down lest he should break the train of thought. For five min- utes by the clock his strange visitor sat and reeled off, in polished sen- tences, facts which could only be known to half a dozen men in the whole of Europe. “Perhaps you are right,” said “Now I propose that you rest a little; you have been walk- ing about half-the night, remember, and must feel tired. My servant shall show you to a room, and by the time you are rested I shall doubtless be able:to answer any questions you like to ask.” The red-headed man rose heavily. “You are very good,” he said, and followed him from the room. The door had barely closed behind him before Third was at the tele- phone on the table beside him, ring- ing insistently and demanding instant attention. He waited impatientiy till present- ly there came an answering ring. “That Mr. Third? What is it? 1 know we're under an obligation to you; but this is most unusual—it's the private official wire. What's that? You want to se2 him! I regret to say it's impossible, he is indisposed and can see no one; he's confined to his room.” “He's confined to a room!” snapped Third, “and that room is in my house. For goodness sake, if you wish to save the situation, come here once! It’s not a moment for polite evasions.” “Wha-at? For heaven's sake, Mr. Third, what are you saying?” “1 repeat that he is here house at this moment, and {hat has been missing since som2 last evening, and that you know he is missing, and have been at your wits’ er to try and conceal the fact.” With you in five minutes!” ca the answer, and the buzzing machine srapped off. "That time had barely expired when a hansom dashed up to the door; the yell was pealed frantically, and a lever-lcoking, clean-shaven man, of about forty, literally {lung himself into the: room; he was white and breathless with anxiety. “In God's name where, is ‘he; Mr: Third? I make no exci 1868; we were forced to do our best to cover his dis- appearance, but every second it grows harder. There ave thiviy pcople wait- ing to see him at this moment, and no less than ten urgent cinher ¢ bles.” “He's upstairs,” said th» Vigilant. *You'll find him greatly changed,” he added, dryly; “but I make one stipu- lation—on no account are you to toucn him or speak to him. I have given him a sleeping draught. 1f you rouse him I won’t be answérable for the result. Your word cf honor —thanks—now go.” Mr. Halsey had hardly left the room before he was back, absolutely white with passion. : : “What foolery is this?” he cried, hoarsely. “That red-headed, drunken loafer the man whom I have served and honored for ten : Cars?” ‘ihe Vigilant stretched out ¢ 1 arm. “Wait!” he said, sternly. “That man you saw upstairs came into this room a couple of hours ago to ask me who he is; he himself has no rec- ollection. I tested him in various ways. First of all, he is a man of intellect and refinement; a cultured orator; a child could see that he has recently been shaved, his skin stained and his hair dyed. He was still suf- fering slightly from thc effects of a drug; a ‘doped’ drink, I should say, though he has been aluing about since 2 or 3 this mori That man, nevertheless, told me this The Vigilant. rapidly typed a lires and handed them across.

If you take my advice it will be only temporary. But for the further proofs. You know him; have seen him daily; know his habits. I have read of them in a magazine article.

When he smoked his cigarettes he was amazed at not find- ing his holder. dveryone who reads knows that he is a great cigarette smoker and ‘always uses a holder. I read to him an article on the Persian boundary, and he told me what I have written for you there and many other things.” “I have heard that often in the af- ternoons, when fine, he leaves his work for an hour, and takes a stroll aby the water in St. James’ Park, rest- ing his brain.” “That is 50.” The Vigilant nodded. “The attack must have taken him quite suddenly after a prolonged stress of work. Some professional sharpers noticed he was indisposed— and they got hold of him and lured him away, drugged and robbed him. A confederate recognized him, they got alarmad, and while he was still under the influence of the drug dis- guised him as you see and turned him adrift. He will wake in half an hour, probably.

The door opened and the red-head- ed man, now clothed in a blue serge suit of Third’s, entered. He looked puzzled for an instant, then his face lighted up. “Ah! there you are, Halsey; have those dispatches come in yet?” “Yes, sir. I've taken them to your private room. There are two or three papers here for you to sign.” The ‘great man nodded and sat down. Mr. Halsey, with shaking hands, pulled out his watch. “It's late, sir. We'd better be get- ting off.” “Very well,” said Lord Almerston, with a sigh. “What wouldn't T give for a rest for a little while.

An ' English electrica engineer, Ernest Oldenbourg, has recently in- veited a new telegraphic receiver vhich, it is ‘declared, is sensitive encugh to detect the m st delicate impulses which even a pocket battery could send out. This instrument, whieh is at pres- ent known as the capilliform rece. er, is “more sensitive than the brain; ” it is said to transcend all previous in- venticns in delicacy. = It depends on the fact that mercury in a vertical cay iary tube, like that cf a ther- mometer—rises and falls when an cleciric current is passed ‘through it. This fact has long heen knotn. Mr, Oldenbourg’'s invention consists in magnifying it and in utilizing it ih shape which enables it to. Re used practically as the receiving instru- ment of a telegiaphic installation. Its peculiar value is, it is claimed, that i: will respend to far smaller currents than those at present used; a mere fraction of a volt is sufficient to work it. Mr. Oldenbourg asserts, says the Boston Transcript, that it will ba quite possible with the aid of his ae: instrument to make a telegraphic ap- paratus by which any one walking about the floor could send intelligi- ble messages for instance to a con- federate on the platform, where a mind reading ‘act is being performed, without d@ny oue else knowing about then. Nitrate Deposits. There is a generally prevalent idea that it is an admitted fact that the Chilean nitrate deposits will, at the present rate of working, be exhaust- ed in the near futare, probably with- in about twenty years. This esti- mate is based upon surveys and cal- culations made some ten or fifteen years ago, before a complete examin- ation of the pampas outside the prov- ince of Tarapaca had been under- taken. In recent years vast depos- its have been discovered and sur- veyed in the districts of Antofagasta. Taltal and Tocopilla, and according to the latest official eslimates the store of ‘‘caliche” now known to ex- ist and to be workable will suffice to meet all requirements of consumption during the present century.—British Agricultural Press.
