ID DONA Copyright, 1C0B, by Charles W. Hooke 'Continued.) 1 nave no mystic power to read the I mind or the heart of another, but I perceived clearly enough that Mr.' Bnrnham was in love with Miss Vaughn and that she did not find herself able to respond. To settle this point I ventured to say that I had heard she was quite pretty. "Pretty!" echoed Burnham. "Well, that's hardly the word I I happen to have a portrait of her." And he pretended to forget which pocket it was in. It was an ordinary cabinet photograph, but it showed a most extraordinary face, a dainty composite of womanly and childish quali ties. I would not have been able to decide from this picture whether Miss Vaughn was fifteen years old or twenty-five, and after my first glance I looked up at Burnham and asked, "How old is she?" He laughed. "You'd be as much puzzled if you saw the original." he said, and this proved to be no exaggeration. "The youth, I think, is in the lower part of the face. What a pretty mouth and chin! Did you ever see such a pretty, mouth and chin? There's all the dimpled sweetness, all the quick sensitiveness of girlhood, and yet no weakness. But there's a calmness in the forehead and eyes the eyes a bit long, as you notice, with very delicately marked brows. The eyes are deep blue and all the coloring exquisite. Her hair is like the gold of Ophir. It may seem bad taste for me to run on like this," he added suddenly, "but Miss Vaughn's beauty is such a simple and natural thing that one feels no hesitation in speaking of it. Why, even in her presence I sometimes find myself however, that's neither here nor there. You asked how old she was. She'll be eighteen next week." "If the young lady's peculiar powers are of interest to science," said I, "it would seem as if some financial arrangement might be made whereby" "We've suggested that, but she won't listen to it," he interrupted. "The queer part of it is that Miss Vaughn insists that she has no powers which are not shared by all our apecies. She has, though." j vVe had reached Burnham's lodgings by this time, and there we conversed for an hour or more upon the subject of the experiments which had been made in the case of Miss Vaughn. They seemed to me to possess, the vague and unsatisfactory character which I had learned to associate with common fraudulent practices. The young lady answered questions concerning matters of which she was sup posed to have no knowledge, peculiarities of persons whom she had not seen, incidents in the lives of the questioners or of their friends. It was notable that she passed into no state of trance or mesmeric sleep. She remained entirely normal, not even exhibiting the excessive fatigue which usually follows such manifestations. She did show repugnance, however, and was always more pleased when she failed than when she succeeded. After a series of failures she would laugh almost hysterically and display a childish relief and delight. Her successes depressed her. The best of them, so far as I could learn, were not conclusive, but there were some that were hard to explain upon any natural hypothesis, and they must have been extremely startling to the inquirers. As Burnham continued to speak I became less hopeful of Miss Vaughn as a possible subject of investigation, less interested in her as a psychic, but far more interested in her as a woman. Somehow the words of this fiery but hopeless lover, this poor little, thin, dark, ugly faced fellow, who had no right to crave a beautiful woman except that he couldn't help it built up before my mind's eye a very charming personality. I talked the matter over with Hackett, and we agreed that Miss Vaughn was undoubtedly worthy of substantial assistance, if it could be rendered without offense. Her situation was certainly most lamentable and involved no fault of her own. Having heard of this case, we could hardly "pass by on the other side," as Hackett expressed it. The fact is that my partner had been playing the role of the good Samaritan in many towns that we had visited, and mostly to the undeserving, I am afraid, We decided that I should call upon Miss Vaughn, and so I asked Burnham to secure her permission; but he told me very promptly that he did not care to undertake the errand. "I couldn't lie to her," said he. "She'd have to know the object of your visit here, and then she wouldn't see you." Incidentally 1 learned during this conversation that Miss Vaughn was an intellectual prodigy, having been the( youngest girl ever graduated from Smith college. Indeed, she would prob-j ably not have been admitted to that institution if her age had been correct-! ly stated, but her. aunt had misrepre-1 sented the matter to the authorities.; Her record had been exemplary, both for scholarship and conduct. I 'Sfc Ufiht teach." said

By HOWARD FIELDING "but I really don't see how she's going to live till we can find her a position." After leaving Burnham's room I went at once alone to the Eustia residence, which must have been considered quite a grand house in its day. A despondent old woman answered my ring and ad mitted me into a chilling, gloomy at mosphere and eventually into a small room at the rear of the hall. It had the look of neglect, as if it had not been used in some weeks. My eye was at tracted by a small table unlike the other' furniture and awkwardly placed near a window. It waf littered with loose sheets of writing paper, which were dusty, and some or them were covered with scrawls in pencil as if a child had played with them. (To be Continued.) IN THE THIRD DISTRICT Everything Was Done by Acclamation There Today. Indianapolis, April 21. The Third district Republican congressional convention was held at New Albany today. W. L. Taylor of this city, Warren G. Sayre of Wabash, and Judge Penfield or Auburn, candidates for governor, left here on an early morning train to attend. George Self of Corydon, candidate for reporter of the supreme and appellate courts, accompanied them. He is now the only Third district candidate, and he was enthusiastically indorsed there today. J. F. Dillion of Jasper, Dubois county, was nominated for congress and Sam Wulfram of rfuntingburg, and Harry McGrain of Coryuon for delegates to the national convention ?' Chicago. Everything was done by acclamation. This is a strong Democratic district, but the candidate for congress has strong hopes of cutting down the majority. The Third will send a large delegation to Indianapolis to work for the nomination of Self. The latter. by the way, will be the only old soldier candidate before the convention, as he is a veteran of the war of the '60s. After tomorrow all of the candidates for places on the Republican state ticket will open headquarters at the Hotel English, and then the real struggle will begin. Taylor is going tc move over trom the State Life build ing, where he has had a large force busy for some -time. Hanly and Penfield have been at the English for sev eral days. Hugh Th. Miller and Perry Newby, the candidates for lieutenant governor, are now there, and Sayre says he will be on hand Saturday. Self, Smith, Nash and Corwin, the candi dates for reporter of the supreme and appellate courts, will have their headquarters Sn running order by tomorrow nignt. None of the candidates seem superstitious, as they are going ahead with their headquarter opening tomorrow regardless of the fact that it is Friday. The vanguard of the party workers is here, and by Saturday night k is fully expected that between two and three hundred will be on hand. The work of building the platform for the Republican state convention this year will not be so difficult, as it is the general understanding that there will be a "stand pat" policy. However, the matter is to receive very careful attention, and Monday night there will be a conference to which the members of congress, Senators Fairbanks and Beveridge, Addison C. Harris, Judge A. O. Marsh. Governor Durbln and other state officials will be invited by Chairman Goodrich. It is probable that the document will be framed up and ready for the committee on resolutions to be appointed the following morning. Among the important features will be the indorsement of the candidacy of President Roosevelt, Senator Beveridge for reelection, the policy of the state administration and the action of the Indiana Republican delegation in congress. The appointment of Harry Adams of this city as sergeant at arms for the Republican state convention is satisfactory to all the candidates. The public does not realize what a hard job it is to select a man for this position who is satisfactory to all the men who want places on the ticket. To the average politician, however, the advantage of having a sergeant at arms on your side is obvious, and it was that feature that made the selection difficult. All of the candidates are watchins their opponents now like hawks to keep them from getting any. ad vantage, but they are not worried much about Adams, who is generally known as a fair man. Herrlck Calls a Halt. Columbus, O., April 21. Governor Herrick has sent a message to the legislature calling a halt in appropriations. He declares that unless the revenues of the state are increased $500,000 appropriations made and contemplated must be reduced nearly $1,000,000 to prevent a deficit. He suggests that the appropriation of $80,000 for a governor's residence be eliminated, urges a direct inheritance tax law and the proposed constitutional amendment pn taxatjoa which be says w.quld

give the state a large revenue from "fugitive property now listed outside the state. - . ,: - . ;.. :

Slot Machines Take Flight. Bedford, Ind., April 21.' The agitation aroused since the prevent city campaign began between the three candidates for mayor on the Republican, Democrat and Citteens' tickets has swept out the slot machines, running for the' last two years in every saloon in 'the city, and not one is now doing business. The owners of these machines became alarmed over the pressure of public opinion, fearing that it eventually would compel the authorities to act, and the machines were boxed up and sent to Linton. It Is Now Judge Hunt. Washington, April 21. Tho nomination of Governor William H. Hunt of Porto Rico as the successor to Judge Hiram Knowles as United States district judge in Montana, has been confirmed by the senate. Governor Hunt expects to return to Porto Rico to conclude his work there before assuming his new duties. Will Go to Oregon. Crawfordsville, Ind., April 21. The Rev. Harry N. Mount, ron of the late Governor James A -Mount, has accepted a call to the pastorate of the Presbyterian church at Eugene, Ore. Mr. Mount has practically recovered his health, and he feels equal to the task of resuming ministerial work. Muskrats Jeopardize Life. Carbondale, 111., April 21 The old Equality coal mine was flooded by muskrats burrowing around the shaft and the bank of the Saline river, and 100 miners had a narrow escape from drowning. The men were at work when the alarm was given that water was pouring ir.to the mine. Immedi ately thev crowded into the hoists, and by the t.me the last men were taken out they were standing in water up to their necks. It is estimated that it will take nearly a week to pump the hiine out. Alleged Conspirator Released. St. Petersburg, April 21. Ludmila Re.nianikoff, one of the members of the "fighting organization of the Russian revolutionists," who was tried with Dr. Guershovnia, Aaron Vibenfield, Michael Melkinoff and Faen Grigorieff April 18 on the charge of complicity in the Terrorist plot which resulted in the assassination of several important officials, including M. Sipiaguine, the minister of the interior, who was killed in 1902, has been released from custody. Spring In New York State. New York, April 21. Blizzard conditions will prevail in central and northern New York state. The storm is one of the most severe of the year. Railroad traffic is delayed and country roads blocked by snow. Miners Caught by Avalanche. Turin, Italy, April 21. About 100 miners have been buried by an Immense avalanche near the village of Pragelato. TERSE TELEGRAMS The British House of Lord- lia reassembled. King Edward and Queen Alexandra have returned to London from Copenhagen. It is persistently asserted that a Japanese truiser was sunk off Port Arthur April li. Elaborate police precautious have been adopted to protect President Loubet during his coming visit to Italy.

The jury in the case of Emil Roeski. the last of the Chicago car barn bandits, returned a verdict of guilty. The penalty fixed is penitentiary for life.

Fire in the wholesale district of the city ef Toronto caused a loss of lti.000.000. Nearly 10 flrmi were put out of business. Tea blocks of eliding were destroyed. The recent marriage of a couple of cripples, each having only half the proper comple ment ot arms aud legs, was rioted ov the press as a " con nubial curiosity." But who notes the marriages which occur daily in which both parties are cripples in health. Crippled health means, as a rule, insufficient nutrition, and lack of nutrition points to disaase of the stomach and digestive and nutritive tract. Doctor Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery cures diseases of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition. It enables the perfect nourishment of the body, and so builds it up in sound health and strength. I had been a great sufferer from indigestion for the last ntue years," writes Mrs. Margaret Stingle, of Owings Mills, Baltimore Co., Md. I was such a wreck it seemed death was near, but to-day can say I feel like another woman. I have received much and lasting good from Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and ' Favorite Pescription.' I have taken twenty-five bottles in all, and followed the advice of Dr. R. V. Pierce, and am happy to say that life is worth living now. A thousaud thanks for your treatment." Do not be cajoled into trading a substance for a shadow. Any substitute offered as just as good" as "Golden Medical Discovery " is a shadow of that medicine. There are cures behind every claim made for the Discovery."
