NOT MURDER. Imagine a mob of men m hungry m ft pack of wolves whose froiuy ha boon firod by the Brent of blood and in its midst a follow Ix'ing, bound hands and feet, with tho noooe of the lynchmcn round his neck. I came suddenly upon noh scene in one of t be settlements on the Rio Grande, whither I had journeyed from England to find brother whom I hmd not seen for many years. A I reined up my horse near the crowd and glauccd over the exciting spectacle An involuntary cry loft my lips m I rec ognized in the victim him whom I had come so far to see. He saw and know me instantly, and though no word came from him his pale, mute lips appealed to my heart for help. My appearance caused a hesitation on the part of the leaders. nnmthotiMDie tteptns tnan niysetr. ion have a banin of water here. Pardon mo If I appropriate it to my own use,' "I bowed in acquiescence, too much surprised to siieak. "He quickly unsealed one of the vials and poured its contents iuto the basin of water. Then from auother lie sifted bluish colored powder npon the snrfiutt of the liquid, which no sooner had touch ed the other than it began to hiss, foam and sparkle until there came a report like a pistol shot, and column of lurid flame leaped up to the ceiling. I started back with n cry of terror. " 'Don't be alarmed,' he assured me, with a smile: "the water will soon burn out.' "The fire soon began to grow pale and to duuinisa In height, when it finally died out altogether, and I saw that the basin was empty. " 'How much do yon think that secret I quickly learned that a stranger in 18 worth asked my visitor, still show those parts had been killed that morn insr near a small body of water short distance from the settlement and that my brother had been caught in the very act of striking the deathblow. Not one of the spectators seemed to have any donbt of his guilt, but who is so hard ened as to condemn his own brother? I shuddered as 1 realized Almont's Ceril and in my own heart judged him inocent of any crime, 'He is my brother." 1 cried. "Uarkr shouted one of the onlookers, "the brother of the murdered man is here for justice, fp with him. bovsr "Hold," 1 commanded, rising in my ri1 Hrruneaslstwke: "blood calls for blood. "Ilis demoniacal smile Let ma have hold of that roiw." ' we shudder. The mistake in my identity had sujf geeted a way in ing his white teeth between ilia parted lips. " 'What do yon mean" 1 cried. " 'Sit down and lie composed, and 1 will quickly explain.' Then as I sank into the nearest teat, at a loss what to do or say, he continued: " 'Seeing is believing, so I have shown to yon what I cau do to impress upon you more deeply the power that I pos sess. Yon have seen that Win of water burn like so much oil, and now you will believe me when I tell yon that I have unlocked one of nature's great se crets and that the key lies in that small as be spoke rhich 1 might enable my brother to escape, and I resolved to attempt it at whatever risk. Fortunate ijr there was little family resemblance be tween us Urging my horse forward, the crowd parted, allowing me to reach his side, when I dismounted, ostensibly to exam ine the slipping noose. "It will do," I said loud enough to be heard by 1L "Xow help me to lift him on the back of my horse. We want to do this job in some shape." Willing ones sprang to my assistance, but in the brief interval I cut the prison er t bonds so that they held only by ft thread and arranged the noose so that it could be thrown off as soon as his arms were free. 1 knew few horses could match mine n speed, and once he had cleared the throng my brother would be compara tively safe. He understood my intentions, and the " 'I do not understand you, 1 faltered. 'If you mean that yon can burn wa ter" " 'Haven't I done it? he cried. 'Why, man alive! don't you realize the impor tance of that secret? In those vials are held the component agents able to sepa rate the constituent part of water and, freeing the same, set them at war with each other, which must result in com bustion and total annihilation. " 'Think of that and realize that I hold in my baud the destiny of the world. Let me throw ever so little of those won derful properties into the Atlantic and dare you contemplate the result? In one instant a nucleus of fire would be formed to grow swiftly in size, separating the ion,' he said, turning tome, 'Whatl have done once I can do every time,' " 'It is a terrible thingr I exclaimed, with a shudder. 'Hut why have you come to mef " 'Uevause the secret is worth much to me. Hut when I approach men they call tue mad and will not listen.

" 'Help you? I asked in a husky voice. 'Would you jeopardise the lives of the whole human race for a few paltry thou sands?

Lome with me and I will astonish, even you. . See, the storm has cleared away, ana tho nay ts breaking. "I was puzzled what to do. There was no one in the bouse upou whom I could call for assistance, but outdoors I might scao the man, whom, I confess, I feared. 4o I consented to accompany hint. "Tho morning light was fast dispelling the shadows of night and storm, and we had no difficulty in making our way to a lif'le body of water quite hemmed in by the mountains ami the forest. My com panion, as if fearing I would attempt to escape, had uot takuu his gaze from in since we had left the house. " 'There is a good place to test our work,' he declared, pointing to a small pool of water formed in a depression of the earth by the late storm. "Without waiting for my reply he threw some of the potassium and powder into the water. The result was startliiuf to me, though I had anticipated the con sequence. "The report was deafeuing, and the flames seemed to leap to tho sky, illu minating the uight scene with a ghastly light, but startling as was the light of the burning water the apeaxauce of my companion, who had seemed to be sud denly transformed iuto a demon, was more terrible.
