He ran his eye rapidly along the de- canters. His throat felt as though it was packed with hot flour. His mouth tasted as if he had been sucking a brass tap. His tongue was swollen and his lips were hard, cracked, and feverish. He snatched the brandy bot- tle from a spirit case, and poured all that was in it into a heavy cut-glass tumbler. Looking around for more, for the tantalus had only been about one-fourth part full, he saw a long, wicker-covered bottle of curacao, and began to pour from it into the brandy. Then, without water or minerals, he began to gulp down this astonishing and powerful mixture, which, in a fourth of its quantity, would probably have struck down the ordinary man as a tree snaps and falls in a sudden wind. It had been Guest’s intention to take enough alcohol to put him into something like a normal condition, and then to return to the laboratory to as- sist at the concluding scenes of the demonstration, and to enjoy in his own m.licious and sinister fashion. But as the liquor seemed to course through his veins and to relieve them of the in- tolerable strain, as he felt his whole body respond to the dose of poison to which he had accustomed it, thoughts of returning to the laboratory became very dim and misty. Here was this large, comfortable room, with its panelled walls, its old family portraits in their massive gilt trames, this fire of wood logs in a great open hearth, sending out so pleasant and hospitable an invitation to remain. Every fiber of the wretch’s body urged him to take the twilight hour and en- Joy it. Guest sat down in a great arm chair, padded with crimson leather, and gaz- ed dreamily into the white heart of the fire. He felt at peace, and for five minutes sat there without movement, looking, in the flickering firelight, like | some grotesque Chinese sculpture— | some god of darkness made by a silent, | moon-faced man on the far shores of the Yangtse-kiang. Then Mr. Guest began to move again; the fuel that he had taken was | burning out. The man’s organism had | become like one of those toy engines | for children which have for furnace a little methyl lamp, and which must | constantly be renewed if the wheels cf | the mechanism are to continue to re-| volve. Mr. Guest rose from the arm chair | and shambled . over to the sideboard | again. The bottle of curacao was still almost full, though there did not ap- pear to be any more brandy. That would do, he thought, and he poured from the bottle into his glass as if he had been pouring beer. The wretched man had forgotten that in his present state—a state upon the very verge of swift and hidden parox- | ysm and.of death—the long abstention of the morning and afternoon had mod- {fied his physiological condition. More- over, the suddenness of these stealthy potations in the dining room began to have their way with him. He was a man whom it was almost impossible to make intoxicated, as the ordinary per- son understands intoxication. When Guest was drunk his mind became sev- eral shades more evil; that was all. But at this moment the man suc- cumbed, and in half an hour his brain was absolutely crowded and confused. He had forgotten both time and cc- casion, and could not think coherently. At last he seemed to realize this him- self. He rose to his feet and, clutch- ing hold of. the dining table, swayed and lurched toward the dining room door. There was a dim consciousness within him of something which was imminently necessary to’ be done, but which he had forgotten or~was unable to recall. “What was it?” he kept asking him- self, with a thick indistinctness. “I knew I had somethin’ to do—somethin’ important. Can’t think what it was.” At that moment his hand, which he | had thrust into his pocket, touched a | ke; T’'ve got it!” he said. know now.

At Last! ‘When the sounds of amused laughter at Lord Landsend’s unconscious revela- tion had passed away, and that young nobleman, slightly flushed indeed, but still with the imperturbability that a man of his class and kind learns how to wear on all occasions, had regained his seat, a fire of questions poured in upon Sir.William Gouldesbrough. SCA lSe. | y9 Alive or Dead? The Strange Disappearance of Gerald Rathbone. By GUY THORNE. | self, and who, for this very reason, } takes little part in the action or move- | ; sumed a proportion in his mind which of the afternoon, was very pale and quiet. Gouldesbrough had noticed this, and even in this moment of supreme tri- umph his heart was heavy within him. He feared that something irrevocable had come between him and the girl he loved, and her pallor only intensified his longing to be done with the whole thing, to be alone with her, and to have the explanation which he desired so keenly and yet dreaded so acutely. For what Lord Malvin had said to him had stabbed him with a deadly fear, as each solemn, significant word rang through the room. “Could it be,” he asked himself— “could it possibly be that these people suspected or knew anything?” His quick brain answered the ques- tion in its own swift and logical fash- ion. It was utterly impossible that Lord Malvin could know anything. His words were a coincidence, and that was all. No, he did not fear, and pos- sibly, he thought, the long strain of work and worry had had its influence upon his nerves, and he had become morbid and unstrung. That fear passed, but there was still in his heart the fear—and, strangely enough, an eyen greater fear—that he would never now make Marjorie his own. His outward face and demeanor showed nothing of the storm and riot within. He was calm, self-possessed, and smiling, quick to answer and to reply, to explain this or that point in his discoveries, to be adequate, confi- dent and serene. In reply to a question from Dean Gortre, Sir William leant upon one of the cases which covered the thought- transforming mechansm, and gave a little lecture. “Quite so, Mr. Dean,” he said; “it is exactly as you suppose—the form, pow- er, and vividness of the pictures upon the screen correspond exactly with the | strength of the intellect of the person whose thoughts are making these pic- tures. You will find your strongly-im- aginative man, or your man whose brain is much turned inward upon him- ment of life, will give a more com- plete and vivid picture than any other. For example, assuming that the bish- op’s valet is an ordinary servant and accompanied his lordship to Palestine a few months ago, and saw exactly what his lordship saw, that man’s memories would not be thrown upon the screen with such wonderful vivid- ness.as his lordship’s were. He would not be able, in all probability, to pro- | duce a picture, a general impression, which is a real picture and not a pho- tograph, and which so conveys the ex- act likeness of a place far more than any photograph could ever do. His thoughts would probably be represent- ed by some special incident which had struck his fancy at the time and as- a cultured and logical faculty of thought would at once reject as being out of due proportion. And, finally, in a precise ratio to the power of the brain—I do not mean to its health or illhealth, its weight or size; I mean its pure thinking power—so are the thoughts, when transformed into light, vivid or not vivid, as the case may be.” Lady Hosken-Heath turned to Lord Landsend, who was sitting beside her. Her pretty face wore a roguish smile as she whispered to him: “Billy, what an awful donkey you must be!” Lord Landsend looked at her for a moment. Then he answered: “Well, you know, Iam not at all) sure that it is not a jolly good thing to | be sometimes. I wovid not be that fel- | low Gouldesbrough for anything.” | She looked at him in amazement. | There was something quite serious in| the young man’s face. “Why,” she said, in a whisper, “what | do you mean, Billy?” “I may not be clever,” said Lord} Landsend, “but I prefer to spend my | lifa doing what amuses me, not what} other people think I ought to do. At} the same time I know men, and I know | that scientific Johnny over there has | got something on his mind which I) should not care to have. Poor Tommy Decies had that look in his eyes the night before Ascot last year; poor! Eustace Charliewood had it just before | he went down’ to Brighton and shot; himself; and you may take it from me} that I know what I am talking about, and you'll see I’m right.” “And now,” said Sir William, look- ing up and down the rows of faces op- posite him—‘“and now, which of you will submit himself to the next experi- ment?” Then Lord Landsend spoke. He was determined to “get his own back,” as he would have put it, if possible. “Why don’t you have a try yourself, Sir William?” he said, with a not very friendly grin; “or won’t what-d’you- call-it work for its master? You had my thoughts for nothing; I'll give on twopence for yours.” The famous scientists of the party There was. an ill-suppressed titter Our} Bad all risen and were conferring to-| from the more frivolous portion of the! gether in a ripple of rapid and exciting | spectators; but Lord Malvin turned talk, which, for the convenience of the | round and looked at the young man fereign members of their number, was eonducted in French. with a frown of disapproval.

He is sure tc be in the servants’ hall. It would be so interesting to know his real opinion of me and my husband, and he certain ly is a most consummate fool, and would be a thoroughly good subject for such an experiment. I brought him out of Gloucestershire. You know, he was one of the under-footmen at my broth. er’s place, and I have been trying to train him, though with little success, I mean that he is too stolid to be shy. and, therefore, won’t object at all, as some men would, to put the cap on and sit down here in the dark. He won't be frightened, I am sure.” “By all means, Lady Hosken-Heath,” Gouldesbrough said, with-a smile. “Ne doubt onejcould not have a better sub ject,,and I really shall be able to il lustrate the difference between the relative values of brain powers by this means. You will all be able to notice the difference in the vividness and outline of the pictures or words that will appear.” Sir William turned round for Wilson Guest, whom he proposed to send upon the mission, but could not find him. “I will ring for the butler,” he said, and tell him to fetch your man.” “Oh, don’t do that,” a voice said upon the second tier. “I—I—am—er—not feeling very well, Sir William, and I was going to ask your permission to; go and sit down in the hall for a few minutes; I will tell one of your serv- ants—they are sure to be about.” The yoice was that of Donald Meg- bie. He did not look at all ill, but he stepped down with a smile and went out of the laboratory, while everybody waited for the advent of Lady Hosken- Heath’s footman. Once‘more Sir William looked round to see if Wilson Guest had returned. The actual projecting apparatus by which the transformed rays were thrown upon the screen required some attention. The delicate apparatus which focused the lens of the project- or, in order to bring it into the nearest possible co-ordination with the light which it had to magnify and transmit, needed some little attention. “Will you excuse me for 4 moment,” he said to everybody there, “ff I leave you in darkness again until the man comes? I wish to attend to a portion of the mechanism here, and I can only do so by turning -off the lights.” There was a chorus of “Oh, please do so, Sir William!” and suddenly the laboratory was once more plunged into utter blackness, Nobody talked much now, curiously enough. For a moment there was nothing heard but the regular beating of Lady Poole’s fan and one whispering conversation which might, or might not, have been carried on between Lord Landsend and Lady Hosken- Heath. Then the thunder, which had been quiet for a little time, began to mut- ter once more. The dark air became hot and full of oppression. And in the dark Lord Malvin took the hand of Marjorie Poole in his own, “Be brave,” he said into her ear. “I know what you must suffer, believing what you be- | lieve.” She whispered back to him. “I have known it ever since I have been in this place,” she said. “Oh, Lord Malvin, I have known it quite cer. | tainly—Gerald is in this house!” (To Be Continued.) EAT SOUR MILK AND LIVE LONG. European Doctors Dwell on the Mer its of Zoghurt, a Bulgarian Food. The latest producer of long life dis covered by European physiologists is zoghurt, a preparation of sour milk. Prof. Elias Metchnikow of the Pasteur Institute was the first to direct at- tention to it, but no sooner had he done so than Prof. Reinhardt of Vi-| enna announced that he had known | in general use in country parts ot! Bulgaria. | Prof. Metchnikow’s theory is that) the ferment contained in the milk at-| tacks certain bacteria which develop! in the human system and have poison: | ous effects. He has proved by experi.| ment, he says, that the zoghurt has an absolutely disinfecting influence andj that by destroying the poisonous germs it not only prevents disease but also arrests the process of aging. In a paper published in the Austrian Review Dr. Reinhardt tells how the; Bulgarians prepare the zoghurt. Cow's vessel until reduced to about half its; original volume. Then it is cooled, and when it; reaches a temperature of about 118 degrees some zoghurt already pre pared is stirred into it and it is left te ferment. The germ, which the doctor! calls maya fungus, acts quickly and! the zoghurt is ready for use in a day Dr. Reinhardt thinks the health} giving qualities of the preparation are amply proved by the fact that Bul garia in a population of four millions has 3,800 zoghurt eaters of 100 years of age and upward, while in the whole German empire with 61,000,000 people) there are only seventy-one centenari ; ans.
