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.

"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

"Hold," 1 commanded, rising in my ri1

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

will believe me when I tell yon that I

crets and that the key lies in that small

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

He understood my intentions, and the

man alive! don't you realize the impor

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

" 'It is a terrible thingr I exclaimed,
with a shudder. 'Hut why have you

" 'Uevause the secret is worth much to
me. Hut when I approach men they call

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

"Tho morning light was fast dispelling
the shadows of night and storm, and we

" 'There is a good place to test our

pool of water formed in a depression of
the earth by the late storm.
"Without waiting for my reply he

to me, though I had anticipated the con
