and only ln the 15th did Colonel da
Rochaa feel Justified In carrying tha
' regression of her memory back to any
previous existence.
In all auch experiments, scientific in
vestigators proceed by careful stages:
and. with a eubject who Is simply pas
sive and not trying to produce marvels
on her own account the normal per
sonality must be restored by stages aa
f' carefully graduated in the progressive
' ""Thus, Miss Mayo waa taken back,
In her condition of trance gradually
from It yeare of age to 16, to 14, to 1.2.
to 10 years of age.
. She saw her astral body transform
Itself ln appearance corresponding with
the altered age, and her memory re
vived countless facts which she had
forgotten In her waking atate.
At 8 years of age ahe was at Beirut,
and could remember all her Turkish,
which had allpped away from her dui -
' lng tho years she lived in France. At
tho age of 1 year, her language failed
'her, and ahe could simply nod "yes"
and "no."
Then she went Into nothingness, fecl-
lng only that she existed. She was car
" ried back still farther, when she said
' she -was "all In the gray," and remem-
, bered having had some earlier existence.
" But Mls Mayo was even yet too little
"used to- the trance state to warrant
heavier strain upon her nervous forces.
With the 17th seance the full facts
ef those earlier lives of hers which
could be evoked began to th3 time be
fore her birth; beyond that, and
"Where are you now?" , ,
' ' "I am a woman. She calls herself
Una," .,.
"Are you living or dead?"
"I am dad."
'How did you die?"
The tragedy of the girls preceding
existence was disclosed. The daugh
ter of a fisherman in Prittany, she led
the toilsome, hard life of the fisher
child, yet was allowed to attend the
. parish schools long enough to learn
-bow to read and write. As she grew in
to maidenhood she hoped for marriage,
with the simple, natural desire and am
bition natural to the young, innocent
'girl.
Bhe was ln her teens when the auitor
she-longed for came, a flBherman, like
her taiiier. His name was Yvon. She
' waa married when she was 20 years old;
' and then, indeed,, she learned what life
' and' lova could be, and what sorfbw
could be,.:.-,- - - .

the First Page of This Dection
tized by Colonel De Rochaa, rehearsed
her life and death aa Llna, and her
formless, peaceful existence "ln tho
gray" until, impelled to reincarnation,
she assumed the ainorphoua haie of a
fresh astral body and descended upon
her present mother. Mme. de Mayo,
some months before her new birth took
place. But the life of Llna was only
the beginning of lier memory's regres
sion. Before that she was a man treach
erous, dissipated, cruel, bloodthirsty.
For half a century ahe waa Charles
Mauville, clerk In a ministerial office
ln Paris. Time and again during hla
career the streets of Paris ran with
blood, rnd heads were cut off ln the
public thoroughfares.
Mauville himself joined ln the sav
ageries, committing murders with his
own hand, because he loved to kill. H
lived out his petty, bloody life, hated
by all who knew him well, until he sus
tained a chill at the age of 50 years,
and died of pneumonia.
He followed his own funeral to tha
grave, and heard the pitiless comments
of those who saw It pass. Ho went,
nnt Into "the gray." but into "the dark."
and suffered blind, dumb remorse and
anguish until some unknown mercy per
mitted hlm the hope of redemption In
the body of Llna, the virtuous, passion
atPly loving peasant of the coast.
But Mauville was not the ultimata
stage of regression In Mile. Mxyo'a
memory. She was In "the dark" for n
.lonif time previously but before that
had been Madeleine de Saint-Marc, wlfo
of a gentleman attached to the court
of IOutn XIV. She had known Mile.
De I.avalllere, with whom she was much
in sympathy. Madamo de Maintenou
dlsplensed her.
"And the king, how do you like him?"
"Ho Is very proud."
"Do you know M. Soarron?"
"Dieii! How plain ho was:"
"Have you seen M Moliere act?"
"YeR, but I don't like him much."
"Do you know M. Cornellle?"
"Ho is a savage."
"And M. Racine?"
"I know most about his works; I like
them very much."
"Does vour husband neglect you?"
"Oh. yes; a great deal."
"He has other loves?"
"You may be sure of that."
"If any one nald court to you, whonr
would you prefer?"
"The klng.'w-
Marrled a as girls of noble family

years up to tho age of 20 when she
invariably saw herself In a foreign
country, among naked negroes.
If It was prophecy, does the abrupt
termination point to another tragedy
Is she doomed to perish among naked
savages, when her youth and her sweet
neaa shall be in their most perfect
flower?
If we had proof," remarks Colonel
de Rochas, "that tho personalities
playd' by subjects really lived, wa
should have proof of very great foroe
In favor of tha survival of tho soul
and of Its successive reincarnations.
In the case of Mayo, It Is difficult to
recover the traces of the more or less
obscure personages of whom she ob
ject! vates the types; but these person
ages are not improbable."
But he reviews the case of another
?irl. Josephine .. . i . , which he studied
or some months.
"The persons aro very plausible," he
says. 'I have been able to ascertain
that the places and the families spoken
of exist, or havo really exlated, al
though the subject has no recollection
of them in the waking atate. But It
haa been Impossible for me to obtain
the proofa of their birth or of their
death in tha registers of the parishes
or at the malrlea.
"Are we to assimilate these' phenom
ena to mere dreams?, Certainly not I
believe that we must compare those
manirestatlona with those which have
been studied in tha case of Mile, Helena
Smith, and, generally, with all those
which are provisionally attributed to
spirits, and in which we see the true
and tho false intermingled."
It is science Itself the science that
haa so scrupulously and so firmly taken
up the study of phenomena hitherto left
to the charlatanry of conscienceless
Cagliostros, which casta the first
doubte upon tho results of Its own ex
periments. ...
But what of our lives as wo hold
them and deal with them now. when sci
ence shall have passed beyond the dark
ness Colonel de Rochas characterises
as one "In which all observers have to
struggle at tho beginning of every, new
science?"' '" .
What cataclysm of law and morals
Impends, when we shall be compelled to
admit among us tho unknown spirits of

ALCOHOL STILL HIGH. .
Farmers Not Jumping at the Chance
to Make It.
That denatured alcohol in this coun
try is not yet on tho same basis as that
provided by the governments of Ger
many and France is the statement put
forth by the manufacturers and. users
of the product. In those countries, ac
cording to American Industries, ln ad
dition to being free from Internal rev
enue taxation a government bonus is
given for every gallon of denatured al
cohol placed In consumption.
Information and statistics now being
gathered will bo furnished to tho proper
committees of congress, and the prob
abilities are that legislation will bo in
troduced which if paaaed will result 'In
a further cheapening of the product.

tall price being In tho neighborhood of
U cents a gallon ana ma
price at cents ln fivo barrel lots. Tha
manufacturers and th.re aro fewer
than half a doien of them now are full
of reasons for this, tho main ono being
that corn and all vegetable products aro
bringing fancy prices.
Those who havo made a opedaJ study
of conditions do not view with enthus
iasm the proapect for fhe establishment
of small distilling plants on farms
where refuse apples, spoiled cabbages,
corncobs and green cornstalks and all
sorts of waste vegetable material can
be converted Into alcohol.
They aro doubtful of tho success of
cllned to devote a part of their time to
them, but they do believe that in the ey
tabllshraent of centrally located plants
a profitable employment for capital can
be found, using very much the same
methods as those adopted by the cream
ery men of the west.
It la understood that a New York
company now has Its agents in Cuba
and Louisiana looking for sites for alco
hol distilleries, the idea being to utuue
sugar and molasses refuae. If tna
plans are successful large quantities pf
alcohol will bo produced: at between 10
and 16 cents a gallon, making it the
cheapest fuel obtainable ln this country.
Contrary to the opinion generally held
by the uninitiated, alcohol cannot bs
employed aa fuel in any kind of appar
atus suitable for oil, and on this account
it has been necessary to Invent for the
purpose special and peculiar devices all
of them depending fundamentally upon
the idea of burning not the alcohol di
rectly but the gas generated from It by
hThe cook stoves soon to ba placed on
the market are very compact with
broilers and other attractive attach
ments. Besides, they are decidedly
cleaner.
Of heaters there Is quite a variety,
one style being intended for automo
biles. The motor cars In the future
also will be provided with a modified
carbureter for burning alcohol, thus
getting rid of all disagreeable smell.
Outdoor heaters and cookers burning
alcohol will aoon be on the market and
special contrivances have been devised
for the use of the same fuel In the
kitchens of yachts. Lamps suitable for
tba purpose, with Incandescent mantles,
give a beautiful and cheap Illumination.
Shot Three Mountain Lions. '
From the Denver Post
Three husky mountain lions isn't so
bad for ono man. one gun, two dogs
land a few hours. The man is J. J.
Carpenter, Cebollaf Colorado, and a
hunter of big game.
Mr. Carpenter started out bobcat hunt
ing and went up a short distance on Elk
creek, Where he struck the tracks
of four mountain Hons ln the enow,
the dogs treed one about three miles
.away. One shot and the soul of that
lion floated serenely over the hills.
Ten minutes later the dogs had two
more lions In the treetopH. Carpenter
killed the smaller one and dragged It
down into the gulch. Then he looked
around and saw the mother Hon watch
ing hlm from a point of vantage ln a
tree Just above him. She ate up a large
leaden bullet and dropped 80 feet to the
ateep hillside with a roar that sounded
quite ominous. Then ahe bit the brush
and did other things Indicative of what
Bhe would like to do to Carpenter if

ROYALTY FINDS TRUE HAPPINESS King EW.
Enjoys Ideal Life
From the London Observer.
ic
INO EDWARD Is never so happy
as when leading the life ot a
country gentleman at Sandrlng
ham, surrounded by the mem
bers of his family and his
most cherished friends. All state
Is put aside, nnd the king and queen
become f.s far as possible two private
individuals, living the life of their
choice, that of an Englirh countryman
and his wife. From affairs of atate
his majesty can never wholly dissever
himelf. and weighty matters have to
receive his undivided attention at times
Wherever he may be, but the early
morning hours are set apart for state
business, and when once his majesty
appears among his guests he gives him
self up to tho whole-souled enjoyment
Of the country life.
Neither the king, the queen, nor any
member of the royal family appears at
breakfast at Bandrlngham. This meal
la served to the guesta who elect to
come down for it at aeverai table", set
for four, six, or eight persons, as oc
casion requires; but all guests are art
liberty to breakfast ln their own rooms
if they prefer it. The king does not
make an appearance until well on In
the- mornlnp. and the men guests await
his majesty's pleasure until the orders
ef the day are given out. The king
wears rough country suits and thick
boot at Bandrlngham. end Is never
without one of the great cigars that
are especially his own. His majesty's
habit of punctuality is well known, and
to Insure a like quality In others the
clocks at Bandrlngham are always get
feet
The King Out Shooting.
Tn times gone by no ladles accom
panied the guns when shooting was
afoot, but now the ladles of the party
are invited to luncheon and to follow
the sport after. Princess Victoria Is
often her father's companion, or the
most exalted guest among the ladles
is honored with tho privilege of re
maining with the king.
Luncheon on these occasions Is a very
pleasant meal, and the portable stove
which is .arrled insures the service of
hot dlahes In perfection, fcportsmen
are well looked after, and cups of hot
turtle soup, or soma such sustaining
edible, are served before the return to
the house. The king dislikes elaborate
luncheons, but. everything 18 admirably
done, without the meal being unduly
prolonged. When a battue is arranged
the fact Is announced, and all work is
stopped in the vicinity of the shoot.
Tho beaters wear a distinctive and pic
turesque dress. The old-fashioned long
smock Is worn, the hat Is ornamented
with a ra band, and Tach man carries
a red and blue flag. The guns number
eight or ten as a rule, the kin having
no taste for a big party. The Band
ringham pheasants are noted for their
succulence, as all the king's,, pergonal
friend know, for none is forgotten.
Three to five brace la the average gift
to. efieh. and vast numbers are sent to
hospitals and other - charitable Instltu
. lions, and a hundred brace to Osborne
college. : .

"You'vo tot to get tha diamond, and
I'vo ot to hava It hero tomorrow after

mation. . "But how can I got It whan Danny's
got It and I haven't a penny to buy It
back?"
"That's your lookout Tou'vo got to
gat tho diamond and I'vo got to havo It
hero tomorrow afternoon at tha latest,"
was Red'a finality.
' "But why tomorrow afternoon?" per
sisted Helen.
"Because tho Shaan'a comln' hero for

o'clock. If I'vo got It to give him I go
out there," and Red nodded In tho direc
tion of the station-house door. "If ha
comes and I ain't got It I go up there,"
and Red ahot out his prognothous Jaw
In the direction In which ba thought lay
Blng Sing. "Now buss, buss, kid."
Helen with her heavy heart and light
ened stocking took herself off, but In
tho back of her shapely head ahe took
an Idea, tha germ of an Idea which aha
painfully nurtured all tha way down to
Coogan's saloon. Danny wasn't there,
but she learned of hla lodging-place
from the bartender and at once hurried
In that direction. For there was no
tlmo to lose, tho great thing waa to aee
Danny before ho had complicated tha
transaction by transferring tha diamond
to the Intimate friend of the Intimate

Helen found Danny sitting on a hy
drant near hia lodging-house on Second
street looking as trim as a partridge
In a neat brown suit and aa fresh of
face aa though .he lived a groom's Ufa
Instead of pumping beer all night ln tho
smoke-fouled soggy air of Ooogan'a.
"I've got to havo that diamond back."
aald Helen.
"Indian glvln', eh?" aaked Danny.
"No," anawered Helen, "I'm no Indian
and you know It, but tho guy that that
gave It to Red" .
"There, there, that'll do," said Danny,
"keep your fairy stories. Red'a got to
give back the atone or go up, I euppoee.
Why didn't you find that all out before?
I'm no pawnbroker."
"And I'm no welcher, aa you know,
Danny," aald Helen, "but this la a case
of M-lI-8-T got to, see? It's the big
chief that'a moving this time."
"Oh, all right." said Danny. "Coma
around tonight to Coogan's. I put the
atone In hla aafe. Don't forget to bring
the SO, either."
"Danny," aald Helen, "I can't do that
I've spent It"
Danny almost dropped Jils cigarette in
his surprise, then exlmled a mighty
cloud of amok, through which he looked
darkly at Helen.
"Say," he gasped, 'what sort ot B:
brace Is this you're glvln' me? Are you
talkln' to Danny Whalen or are you try
in' a dope. Now It's just this. You
give me a atone and I give you fifty, eh?
Now, cause I'm a soft fool I give you
back the stone, and you give
my fifty, eh? I loee on my make, eh?
But we'll let it go at that. Now, that's
plain, eh?"
"But Danny," Insisted Helen, "I spent
tha money on Plbbel to help Red out
of hla meaa and I swear to Qod If you'll
give me that atone so'a I can bring it to
tho Rtvlngton street Green Lamps to
morrow afternoon at 4, I'll give you ICO

Danny blew another cloud of smoke

latest pattern, and the gun room at
Bandrlngham is the envy of all sports
men, as it contains a magnificent col
lection, including a great many pre
sentations from various royal person
ages. The result of the day's eport is
always laid out for the klng'a inspec
tion before it goes to the larder, which
Is one of the largest in the world,
having accommodation for some 7,000
head of game. .
The sportsmen generally return to
the house ln time for tea, a delightful
meal, at which the queen presides. It
Is served in the hall, at one big round
table if the party is small, or at sever
al tables .if necessary. Scotch scones,
little fancy rolls, hot cakes, and every
sort of sweet cake are set about, and
Pcotch short cake, of which the king
ia.very fond, is never left out.
The Royal Dinner.
The hour for luncheon at Sandring
hara Is 2:30, and dinner, which is more
formal. Is served at 8: SO In the fine
dining room, Which contains the wonder
ful Spanish tapestries presented to King
Edward when prince of Wales by King
Alfonso VII. father of the present king
Of Bpaln. The guests assemble ln the
drawing room before dinner Is an
nounced, and the king and queen make
a formal entry with any royal per
sonages who may be among the visitors,
the royal party having previously as
sembled In a separate room. The menu
la Invariably short. The custom of
twisting table napkins into fancy
shapes, so dear to the restauranteur
and the suburban hostess, does not ob
tain at Bandrlngham. where thla neces
sary adjunct is simply folded over. All
the glass, china, cutlery, and silver are
ornamented with the royal crown, that
bearing tho three feathers, previously
In use at Bandrlngham, having been
presented to the prince and princess of
Wales for use at York cottage.
: His majesty is a model landlord, and
wben at Bandrlngham spends some time
every day with his agent, and takes
an active personal Interest in the estate
and in the well-being of the people.
Moat affeotlonate relations exist be
tween the royal landlord and his ten
ants and employes. There is a cottage
hospital on the estate for sick indoor
and outdoor servants, and it contains
pleasant nurses' quarters as well as sick
wards. Each village on the estate has
its club for workingmen, and in these
Institutions the king takes the closest
interest. . It is the king's custom on
Sundays to walk to church, while the
queen and the other ladles drive. Hla
majesty Joins ln the hymns, his deep,
powerful voice being very; plainly
heacd, and, as every, one knows, a ser
mon delivered before the king must not
last more than 10 minutes.
The king is an Ideal host, and both
the queen and himself bestow much
thought on the Individual tastes of their
guests, and all their fads end fancies
are remembered,, and as far as possible
administered to. It Is the kings habit
to accompany the men guests to their
room, where he will stir the fire and
himself look about to see , that they
