HYPNOTIZED.
"Talking about hypnotism," said Clara,
"reminds mo of Ethel Reubens. You all
know Ethel. She was just as gay ami
thoughtless a a butterfly, but not a bit
fast, you know, though you might fancy
so when you hear this story.
"Ethel's cousin John was going to
bring a young man to call on her and told
her how stiff and unemotional she would
find him. 'Even you, Ethel,' he said,
'won't bo able to thaw his heart.'
"You know how pretty Ethel is? Well,
6ho flared right up at this challenge 'I'll
make you a bet,' sho laughed, 'that I'll
mako him kiss mo.'
" 'Done,' said John.
"When Burton Chalmers came, ho
proved to be everything that John had
pictured. He left that evening and many
another without giving the slightest sign
that Ethel had made any impression upon
him. It was very ovident that he had nev
er cared much for ladies' society and was
awkward in it.
"Ethel woro her prettiest gowns and
sweetest smiles and gazed at him with all
the hypnotic power she could call to her
service. But tho spells didn't seem to
work, and John told her sho 'didn't know
a little bit about hypnotism,' and the timo
was nearly up for her to win or loso her
bet.
"Just as Burton was going one evening
Ethel insisted upon pinning a flower in
his coat. He stood stillly whilo sho worked
away for an interminable timo with one
rose tinted cheek turned conveniently near
his mustache. That didn't work. Then
she looked in his eyes with the sweetest
glance imaginable. Even that failed to
hypnotize. There seemed nothing more to
be done. But Ethel made a last rally. She
let her white, dimpled hand fall slowly,
caressingly from the flower down his coat,
as if loath to leavo it. This proved too
much lor Burton. Ho bent and kissed the
lovely liico so near Lis own and then fled
in a panic.
"kext morning Ethel received a letter
from him, asking her hand in marriage.
"Burton Chalmers was an honorable
fellow, and under the circumstances he
felt ho had no other recourse, though mat
rimony had been far from his thoughts
before Ethel had tried hypnotic glances
upon him.
"Ethel was flustered by that letter, you
may be suro. Sho hadn't expected it, and
as sho claimed her bet from cousin John
she vowed never to commit such a harum
scarum deed again.
"Ethel, too, was honest. So sho sat
down and wroto Burton Chalmers that he
had kissed her under a hypnotic spell. The
whole thing was a very foolish bet made
by herself. Sho hoped ho wouldn't worry
himself about it, and would forgive and
be friends.
"Burton Chalmers' sensations wero of
a decidedly complex character when ho
had read her letter. Ko man likes to be
made a fool of, and ho felt ho had ap
peared somewhat in that light. Moreover,
his panic was gone, and little thrills of
satisfaction followed tho recollection of
that kiss. What a lo cly, startled look sho'
had turned upon him afterward! Now
that there was no danger of his having to
marry Ethel ho felt a decided interest in
her.
"His next call was prompt and full of
forgiveness. He even manifested an in
terest in hypnotism. After awhilo he be
gan proposing to Ethel with systematic
regularity and was as systematically re
fused. Consequently relations between
them were sometimes strained, and Ethel
was heard to declaro that sho wished she
had never heard of such a thing as hyp
notism. "About a year passed before she accept
ed him. That very night she wrote him a
letter, telling him Low sorry she was, but
sho had changed her mind.
"This happened several times, tho en
gagements sometimes lasting for a few
days.
"At last Chalmers became disgusted
with everything Ethel in particular
and went south without even letting her
know of his intention..
"Rust,
the dread of the cotton grower,
can be prevented. Trials at
Experiment Stations and the
experience of leading growers
prove positively that
Kainit
is the only remedy.
We will be glad to send, free of charge,
interesting and useful pamphlets which treat
of the matter in detail.

"When Ethel heard of it, sho felt a lit
tle stupefied at tho idea of his having tho
courago to break off in 6uch a manner.
To be sure, sho had just 'finally' broken
their last engagement. But 6he felt her
self to be a very ill used and aggrieved
girl.
"So sho took to flirting violontly with
her most cligiblo admirer. Presently she
was engaged to him, and nothing remain
ed but to tet tho day for tho wedding.
Tho marriage was to bo an immediate one.
"When Burton Chalmers returned from
a three montns' stay in Florida, this was
the condition of atiairs that awaited him.
He promptly wrote to Ethel, begging for
an interview.
"'I haven't a disengaged moment for
the next two weeks,' sho wrote back. The
firo of her anger against him fanned into
vigorous life by this reminder of his long
absence. 'If you care to call and takoyour
chances of finding mo in, you may do so.'
"At this his iro rose, and ho determin
ed not to call. To this determination ho
held for three days. On tho fourth he was
admitted to Ethel's home and sont up his
card.
"Meantime, his literal acceptance of her
note had angered Ethel afresh, and sho
would assuredly have been 'not at homo'
if his card had reached her, which it never
did. Sho was on her way out for a ride,
and Chalmers was crossing tho hall at the
same time. To avoid meeting was impos
si bio.
"Sho started back and ho started for
ward. More than that, ho caught her in
his arms and kissed her repeatedly. 'You
know you are going to marry me, Ethel, '
he said, 'and you might as well say so at
once. I am not going to bo put oil a::y
longer; wo will hae an end to all icis
folly.' And then followed somo more ten
der phrases, when Burton had drawn her
within the shelter of tho library.
"Ethel sat down, weakly, without a
word. Sho changed from pink to white
and back to pink again, bho forgot all
about the other man, and mado not a sin
gle resistance or remonstrance to Chal
mers' plans.
" 'We'll be married at once,' wound up
her lover, 'and now I'll go and announce
the engagement before you havo time to
change your mind again.'
"Ihis he promptly did, and by evening
all Burton's lamiJy and friends wero 're
ceiving Ethel into tho bosom of tho fami
ly,' and of course there was nothing to do
but be married afterward." Mary W.
Mount in New Orleans Times-Democrat.
