Slaiih-y lnuho.1 aloud, nu.l then,
mindful of hia last experiment on the
professor, lio began r.t once to uiulio
the upward passes necessary tu re
lease Liiu from the tranc.'. 'J'his time
ho had no trouble, and he saw how
laiuli easier it wo'.ilil lo each time t!io
subject was brought under tho hyp
notic, iulhienee. Van Tassel's face
twitched mi l hti eyelids quivered in
the effort to unclose.
"Awake!" Baid Stanley. And lit tho
sound of his voice the professor opened
his even to their fullest extent and .sat
up, looking terriliod.
"Oh, t'iiireuee! What have you
ilone?" he cried. "I hml your prom
ise that you would only use this power
for good."
Stanley's laugh was almost pleasant,
he was no oiilirelv sutisliod with him
self. ''I keep my promise," he said.
"A'l I now go home. 'au, I niu dune
willi you fur to-day."
Van 1'assel rose mi l. gromu;; blind
ly for hiM hat, half .daggered toward
the iloor. A eold dew of terror was on
his face, he understood the full horror
of his positii.il so entirely us he asked
his own shrinking soul to wlmt crimes,
what evils, what monstrous nets e
was, perhaps, committed by tho un
bending will mid crutd heart of the
man besido him.
'tl.md-bye, Van," mid .Stanley,
meriily.
It was ("I urenec Stanley's hand that
opened tho door, mid, as tho trem
bling, staggering man slouched out, tho
Ham.) han 1 closed the door after him,
nil 1 Stanley said softly:
"l'oor idd Van! Cut there must he
something in this power more than 1
can understand, to make one man the
he lpless tool of another's will. 1 like
it well; mid, next, I shall tiy it on the
beautiful Dolores."
, Stanley dined at the Ilamillolis' thnt
vi'tiinjf, according t his promise;
un 1 Polly thought he had never been
no charming sinej sho had first known
liiiu. Fveu to her own heart Dolores
fa id that she was, perhaps, prejudiced;
lie could not lm the base and danger

as the dawn of a bright, new day. it
her mother, who loved her, and had
the knowledge of maturity and experi

with the worldall chose to iicea pt
Stanley without doubt or question, who
was sho that she should set a inert!
fueling, a prejudice, u'uin-t their
united opinion? .Sin crushed thevn
the intuition that stilljdoeii.rod u gainst
him and ijuvii herself up to tho inllii
cneo of those about her. Cut she knew
that -.he was at war with herself.
Days asM-d m:d lenglhi'iie.l into
weeks. Stanley spent tho greater pur!
of tho timo at liio home of the Haunt
tons, ostensiiily with Miry, but piito
ns much with Didores; for .she was
constantly present; and tho even
ings, after his return to his own room,
and often far into tho night, were
i;iven to tho ntudy f works on mes
merism and other branches of occult
Hcioneo with which the professor had
furnished him. For n time Van Tin
Kel had eomo to him everyday, always
briugin-; point) new book; and for a
timo this had greatly amused Stanley,
as proving tho mesmeric power in
which ho held his nlav(. lut gradu
ally this power waned for reasons
we'd understood by Van Tassel but
not cveu suspected by Clareuco Stan
ley. At last, tho professor ceased to
come, aud, for a time, his master did
not even observe this; his entire be
ing, every faculty of his mind, fur
good or evil, had become absorbed in
thought of lnlores Mundozn and the
iiossibility that she might love him.
For tho lirst and last and only time in
hi i life ho was under tho domiuiou of
nu absorbing passion for a woninn,
and, as yet, ho did not know it. Nor
lid Mary Hamilton know it or even
mspect it; iiud this was not surpris
ing, cither, although, as tdio had onco
told l'oloies, bho was naturally jeal
ous. Statiley8 love for Dolores had grown
up so gradually under her eyes that
not tho least thought of its existence
ha 1 yet como to her; and tho varying
moods of Dolores, her excitement, her
gaycty, her dejection, succeeded often
by almost frivolous hilarity; her days
of sadness aud profound melancholy,
interspersed by hours of merriment,
KircaHtio bitterness and playful sweet
ness caused her tho le.ss surprise bo
iMtuso she had uo provious acquaint
ance, with Dolores aud could never
fully know what was tho normal con
dition of this unknown, mysteries but
altogether charming and lovable
Hi ranger. Sometimes she thought
about these things, but not often, f ?r
her timo wa almost, wholly occupied
since her "engagement," as she al
ways called tho relation existing be
tween herself and Clarence Stanley;
ami when oho did think seriously
about Dolore?, sho always ended with
n conclusion somewhat in these
words:
"Whatever fdio does or thinks or
r iys, n!io is always lovable and sweet
mid good. Darling Cita! She is the
bst, ihe dearest and the most beauti
ful creature, in tint whole world, and
only to live in the same hjiise v it h hei
is a joy aud a blessing. '
r. .mint B SHKii f hs.)
True to the half-formed promise dio
had nindo to her lover, Colly had said
nothing til her parents about her en
gagement to Stanley; but sho was per
fectly well aware that both her father
and mother regarded the situation in
precisely the i-nmowiiyus she regarded
it; r.ud nbcady they had fallen into
the habit of saying: "When I'olly and
Clarence are married wo will do" so
and fio;a'id after "Colly's marriage it
will be time enough" to arrange this
or the otner niVuir thnt might happen
to be under iliscussi.ni.
The lirst timothis happened in Stan
ley's presence he had started, guiltily,
and turned with some appearance of
constraint, at which Colly had blushed
anil laughed, and then shaken her
pretty hi:: 1. Tho next time such an
allusion had been made Stanley had
merely smiled, as ''tho easiest way
out of it," he told himself ; and after
that his man i:'., 'ii w ith I'olly Hamil
ton, although not formally announce. 1,
became talked about as a matter of
course. Mary Hamilton was very
happy 111 hei engagement, and her
happiness Honed on idi ah out her. mid
she had taken herself quite sei ioii: ly
to bisk for her nehvt or C.ertha Sellon.
To remedy this she ha I lirst returned
the bitter's call, and th M, a'roni
panied l y D iloies, had male her
former iiiliu.ate friend a huig vi. il. On
this occasion Miss (inye '. a I I cell
present, and imtw ithstauilin;; the un
complimentary opinion she had ex
pressed of the charming (line, lolly
Hamilton even include 1 her ii the
warmth of her new feelings.
Nothing colli I hav.i .-.uiied Olive
(lave bit'.er. She was at tin i to
respond to CollyV. polite advaucis
v. i'.li ail the tact and grace she pos
sessed, and the remit was that th"
four young ;ir! vi-rv "ftcn exchanged
visits, and soon fell into the custom of
informal eveniujs togeih.r, which
were ii'-arly always spent at Colly's
house, I. ecausc it was t here that Clar
ence Stanley made his eali; and, ::s
hostess, Mi-s Hamilton was c instant
ly ".it home."
"I'ate mid I walk together, hand
in hand," Olive (lave had unce said,
in a moment of supreme egotism; lint
now, as often before, there seemed to
be some excus" for the remain. She
ha 1 wished to meet ( 'hirciiee Stan b y ,
and she had then wNhed for oppor
tunity to study hi;i: at her lei: ui c and
under the i.i .-l favorable eircuia
stanccs; and now the try cards she
would have cho-t u seemed carefully
selected and placed in her hand',
w hile she had .simply to play them
out, one by one.
"I hope Miss Seftoii nud O'.i'.e
( lave are net coming t i-ni rht. Colly ':"
s.tid Stanley, one evening, as he ac
companied his I'.ancee from the ilin-net'-taiilo
to tl ! drawing-room, "t
think ! should like to ii.ive you to my
ell occasionally. '
"Oh, Clare':.":" exclaimed Colly,
pleased by the sen! ii.ient, but fearine
that she might have to disappoint it,
"I am !.o sorry I I thought you liked
iheui. "
"i like Miss Sefton well enough.
Her friend is one of tin: deep kind.
1 don't like that sort of woman."
"Strange, now," said Colly, "I f-H
like that myself the lirst time I met
Olive; hut I got over it long ago.
She just adorea you, Clarence; shy is
never dono praising you, and," she
added naively, "I think that must be
why I have grown to liko her so
much. Cut she speaks of going to
Newport soon, and then we won't see
so much of her. They are during in
to night, she and C.eitha, and they
aro going to bring a friend with them,
a Mrs. ltelieholt.. Such a beautiful
woman! llurk! That may bo them
now."
And as hiio spoke, there was the
Found of the outer doo.' opening and
closing, mid then a buzz of girlish
voices, among which Stanley recog
nized that of Oiive (inye. Ho turned
away impatiently and walked to the
farther end ol tho room as Mary Ham
ilton advanced to meet her friends.
Hut Olive liayo quickly followed
him and, slipping her hand w ithin his
arm, drew him, an unwilling captive,
back toward Mary, Cerihu and u
third a tail, slender woman, who.-e
face was turned from him, but the
lilies of whoso graceful neck and
shoulders smote him with recognition
liko an electric s.;ioci, even before
sho moved slow ly round aud bringing
her face toward him, exclaimed
sharply:
Carlos! MyCailor,:''
CI1ACTF.U XV.
TUP. LAOV Ol' Till'. r.v.
Olive (inye, whose hand still rested
within Stanley's arm, had tell that
electric thrill which had shot along his
nerves, making him for n brief lime
almost rigid. His other arm moved
convulsively, mid his white h ind went
quickly toward his m nit b. aud fir i.
second or two twisted his blonde
mustache. beyond that, thrre was
not the faintest sinn f agitation in
his pule face, not a tremor of the eye
lid; nothing but blank, questioning
amazement in th look that met the
h-.'HUtiful, wild eves of Celcstiuo Hi Ins
holt. "Oh, Carlos! Carlos! Do yen met
know me? Am I so changed in a ft a
short years, while you are not u nay
older not a day, not au hour! Jusi
the enuie, and I loveyuii the same, my
j Carlos, in spite of sill! They told mil
you were neini: jiu I not see your
dead face and weep over it, and for
give all, all ! As 1 do now, when I
find you alivo after nil these years!
Will you not speak to me'"
She sprang toward him and would
have caught him in her arias, hut Stan
ley stepped aside, drew his arm from
Olive's clinging lingers mid held up
his hand, as it eeonied, in the effort to
defend himself, gently but resolutely,
from the grasp of n mad woman.
"Cardon me, madam," he said with
diguity, ''It is ensy to see that (hero
is some mistake here; and Ihittering
as your words are, I must entirely
disclaim all right to listen to them, as
they aro evidently meant for some
other person."
At this, Mary Hamilton recovered
her voice; and her senses, which hail
almost left her, between horror, fright
nud amazement, enme back to her.
She was as pnlo ns ashes, and her
voice trembled pitifully, but as sho
glauced ut her lover and met his reas
suring smile, she said with consider
able self-possession:
"Von havo made a strange mistake,
Mrs. Helmholtz; you arc, perhaps, tho
victim of n singular resemblance; we
all know such things occur. Thisgeu
tleuinn is the lioiiorablo Clarence
Sianlcy; his name is not Carlos, and I
am quite sure that you never saw him
before this moment.
"'Clarence Stanley I' " repeated
Mrs. Helmholtz; "'tho Ihmorabie
Clarence Stanley!' "
She lo.-iked at him, bewildered, while
her face twitched with emotion, as sho
tried to remember tho night at tho
opera and the fragments of conversa
tion she had then heard from Olive
( lave and Iterthn Seftoii. es, hadshu
not tried afterward to cheat herself
into tho belief that it was a wonder
ful, a terrible resemblance? For how
! could it be otherwise, when sho had
I kissed the dead face of herowu Carlos
, and held him, dead, to her frantic,
i maddened heart? Cut, now that she
beheld this living likeness of him, how
could she believo him dead? Could
such resemblances exist? Had he not
' rather come to life again, and was she
not being inipco i d upon ouch more,
! cruelly, wickedly? Oh, more cruelly
; and wickedly thuu ever before? Her
: senses seemed leaving In r. She felt
that her mind could not bear these
; successive shocks; and, clasping h u
i head with both h T hands, as if to
steady her brain for a linal effort, she
i lixe 1 her eyes once mere on Stanley's
face, us if she would read to the hot
1 I. mi of his soul. He looked back at
. her woiidcringly, but with a mocking
smile.
"Tell me, sir," she said, in a voice
of touching entreaty, "is it indeed trim
that you havo never seen mo before
' lo-nivht .'"
1 "Neve!-, so far as I can remember,"
I said Stanley, adding gallantly: "Ami
: no one could forget you, madam, who
; had ever been happy ei:oil;'h to n o
.' Vim even once."
j " Mrs. Helmholtz sighed deeply.
I "I must be;; tin;! you will nil par
! d m me, then. I am to sorry to huvo
i made a acetic, but monsieur's so liko
- Ah! so lunch like one who wai
very dear! I cannot bear it! Olive,
make my excuses. Miss Hamilton will
forejv,! me. I must go home. I am
so overe ime -so ill !"
Colly, who saw that tho emotion
mid fullering caused bv this singular
1 seen.) was only too real, and who was,
indeed, greatly overcome In rt'i-lf,
j hi'slened to ni'ucpt the hurried ex
j cuses of her guests, nnd in a few ino
; meiits they were gone, and she was
left r.h iio with her lover alone, as
: lli-y had been only ten or fifteen min
utes before, but .staring at each other,
as if all that had happened in the in
terval had been h. vision, n dream, a
i nightmare!
When they had readied the street,
Oiive (i.iyo remeinbered that the car
riage which had brought them to tho
Ilamillolis had been ordered to return
at Lust two hours latir; but she wns
equal to Much iiioto serious emer
gencies. And it was fortunate that
she was so, for Mrs. Helmholtz was
ill from agitation and Certha Seftoii
wi s omphttly dazed and could only
g! limbic helplessly.
"Oil, i!o he quiet, Certha'" said
Olive at last. "Wo are not children
to bo lost in tho street even if wo
snould have to walk home. All! Thero
is an empty carriage!"
And w il'u quick decision she sig
naled the driver, and iu two minutes
they were all inside the vehicle.
"I told tho man to drive lirst to
your house, bertha,'' explained Miss
(iaye, ' that, being tho nearest; and
then I will take Mrs. Heliulmltz homo
an 1 stay with her a little while, tilt
-.'in! recovers from the consequences of
lliis unpleasant blunder."
Mrs. Helmholt, who was weeping
Uileutly, put out olio hand and catch
,iug that of Olivo (layo pressed it
! gratefully; and the latter returned the
iiiressure. A few minutes nu.re brought
them in front of Hertha's home, and
having seen her safe inside of it,
Olive gave the address of Mrs. Helm
hob, tu the driver.
"And now, dear," sho sni.l to In r
companion, "do try and calm your-'
u-lf, or your husband will nevi r again

i ' Oil, 1 don't care!" said Mrs. Helm
