THE YOUTH'S COMPANION 144 Beriufar Street BoMod. Mm. SabwcriptionM Ftcttvd of thU Offict Sm Oar Family Combbuitiaa Offer EJtawnaiv 'a party or young men were sitting around a table la tbe cafe of a New York club. The subject turned on the marvelous, feats .that are said to be performed by tbe fakir of India. A number of these feat were described, each one more wonderful tbaa tbe last, when Ned Garland told tbe following: , "You've bit on a subject that comes very near borne to me." be said, "for one of my family was operated on by one of these Indians many years ago with a result that baa recently made my hair curl, ; "During the last war wltb England In 1814 or thereabouts my ancestors Uved on tbe family estate or farm, for that's all it was, not half a mile from where we are now sitting. One day my great-grandfather, Timothy Gar land, a young bridegroom, bad a quar rel wltb. bis wife and told her he wish ed be might not see her again In a hun dred years. Then be- left tbe house wltb a bang of the door and, mounting a horse, "rode down to Fraunces' tavern, where be proceeded to get gloriously drunk. "Tbe next day, when be was sober, be was beside himself with remorse and rode back home to beg bis wife's pardon. He found her lying In a com atose condition, from which It was im possible to arouse her. She bad left with tbe servants a paper for him on which was written: . V; ' "You. bavt wlabed you might not Ma mi again In a hundred years. You won't see m as I was till that tlma baa passed, , "The npsbot of 1t was that when he bad gone down to the tavern one of these Indian heathens came along, of fering to tell my great-grandmother's fortune and do many wonderful things. She was full of anger at tbe time and told him she would give him all the gold she had In a stocking if be would put her to sleep for a .hundred years. Tbe rascal took her at her word ana performed tbe trick.. "Her husband kept watching for her to come to herself. . He said nothing about her condition, not caring to have It known that it was . through bis harshness that She bad come into it But she remained as she was, and aft er awhile he locked her up in a room, and since he made no mention of her she was at last forgotten. "When the farm was sold the family vault was retained and tbe ground un derneath which It was excavated de scended to me. When I came of ag a few weeks ago' and took possession of it wltb other property I concluded to Inspect it I found A grewsome place full of coffins, some of which .had partly rotted away. One that had been made of marble interested me. From a crack in the lid protruded a paper. I pulled It out and found that it bad been written In a language I knew nothing about "I took tbe thing to a professor of un known tongues in Columbia college, and be told me It was written In one of the languages of India and I had to get an Indian of that province to interpret it I bunted all over the east side among tbe slums for such a per son and at lost found one. It read in English: "This lady la to be brought to life at tbe expiration of a hundred yeara, or In No vember, 1913. "I was told by the translator that only an Indian fakir could do the Job, but luckily one bad Just arrived from Bombay, and I was Informed where be was to be found. He read tbe pa per and said be would try to bring my great-grandmother to life If I would pay blm $100 in case be succeeded. I agreed to tbe terms, bad the sarcopha gus removed to tbe top floor of a building I owned, paid In advance. and the Indian went to work. 'He wouldn't permit me to be pres- ent during bis manipulations, but call ed me in after six hours. On a lounge was a woman about twenty-tbree years of age. t She seemed only half alive, but was sufficiently resuscitated' to speak feebly. " 'Jim.' she snld, "how could you?' "I'm not Jim,' I said. 'I'm Ned.' " 'Oh. denr: What's the matter with you. or Is anything the matter wltb me? 1 feel so weak.' "She hud evidently tuken me for ber InislMind. my Ki-eat-grnndfatber, who was Just my nge Id 1813. "1 looked about for tbe Indian, and he hud gone. It struck me that I'd better have some one about, and I said to nay Kreat-grnndtnotber: " 'Please excuse me a moment Yon are not well and need attention. I am going to summon assistance.' "Do you know that while I was looking at ber, even during this abort time, sbe seemed to have grown older Without waiting for her consent I ran downstairs, bnt as I went it occurred to me that I bad better not be In a hurry about the matter; there were many dangers connected with It I paused, pondered and went back to the room. I suppose 1 bad been gone twenty minutes. And yet while I had been ntisent the resuscitated bride of twenty-tbrec bad grown to be an old woman of 123. And as I looked she gave a gasp and within a minute bad become a shriveled mummy." . There was a brief silence, which was brokeu by one of the party, who said: "Ned Garland, you ore the biggest llnr that ever entered this club or ever will enu-r It" "That's why I didn't summon as sistance. I knew I'd be put down ei ther for a liar or a lunatic. Walter, take the orders!" . We Have a Few Odd-Specials for Xmas. Watch Our Window G. S.
