There was u gre t ado !n the Stan
wood home. A pacl'.iA* h!\l l.cch d*
llvered at the do r adure od to Ml.- ;
Grace Stanwood. had been received lv
the butler. and the bearer had g.nt'>
away without stilting who sent the
package. There was n"i::Iiig on the
wrapper l>.v v.hleh the s nder could
be ldeutltlcd. The Stinvoods were
enormously rl^li and feared that some
socialist or uuarchlst had sent thesu
an infernal machine. Miss Stanwood
looked at the thing -It rested on a
table In the drawing room- -studied tin
address, but could not recognize I i the
writing the ban S < f any of her fri.nda.
"I'll take oflf the wrapper, mum,"
said the liutler, who felt somewhat re
sponsible for having taken the pack
age In and letting the messenger es- 1
t-ajie.
The butler cut the string, remove I
the wrapper carefully so as not to Jar
the contents and laid bare a box Willi |
a sliding cover.
There was a ring at the doorbell.
It so happened that Lord Edward
Tall.vwag, an impeeuaious Loiulo
swell, who had come over the big pond
with a view to replenish his exchequer
by means of an American wife, bad
lieen invited to dl:.:;er. I!e had ]
posed for Miss S;?". wood's hand, to |
say nothing <>f her fortune no, this !-?
technically Incorrect t!:e sciiler.'.eti!
was to l>e s|>ecltled In a legal doeu
inent. and the matter was is; good a
settled. The only tiling i i tlw wa;
had been removed- namely. Hub erl
to whom the lady had ' een cngng .
and who had been told that in vie'..' <?
this spleudid opportunity lie tun . I ?
relegated to a position as Lord Tally
wag's l>est man at the we 'ding. 1".. >1
had submitted to the sinriiVe so n >'<h
that he had been Invited to t'.ine wit'
bis lordship with a vb w t.> getting li!
Instructions as best man.
Where was I? Oh. 1 remember'
There was a ring at the doorbell. The
butler pulled himself together and
opened the door, admitting the gue^t
of the evening. I.ord Tali. wag. II's
lordship took a view of the situation
through his monocle, surprised to see
the family all on the main tloor.
"I'm so glad you've come. Lord Tal
lywag," said Mrs. Stan wool excitedly,
"to tell us what to do. Some one lias
seut Grnce an infernal machine."
"Some disappointed lover. I suppose."
remarked his lordship.
"Dear me!" exclaimed Mrs. Stan
wood. "It couldn't have been P"b Otis,
could it?"
"Mother!" Miss Stanwood spoke the
word reproachfully.
Another ring nt the doorbell. This
time Bob Otis himself was admitted.
"Speak of Satan." (.'race remarked,
"he's sure to appear. Lord Tally wag,
this is our old friend Mr. Otis."
"Delighted to meet you." said his
lordship stiiily.
"Glad to know you." replied Rol>
bowing formally.
"Some oue. reinari;eu .Mrs. Man
wood, "has sent Grace an lm'er:ial ma
chine. Lord Tallywnj? suggest* that it
may have come from a disappointed
lover."
Something In the tone of Mrs. Stan
wood's voice caused Mr. Otis to draw
himself up stiffly. Then lie said coldly:
"Siuce I am well known to have long
been an admirer of the lady In quc^
tlon It Is incumbent upon me to prove
my Innocence. Where Is this Infernal
machine?"
"Iu the drawing room," Mrs. Stan
wood replied.
Mr. Otis walked Into the drawing
room while the others looked on
through open doors. Taking the box
from the table, he scrutinized the ad
dress, shook it, then held It close to
his ear.
"You are right," he said to those gap
lug from a distance. "It is Indeed an
Infernal machine. I can hear a tlckiug.
Lord Tallywag, If you will come here
and hold the box to your ear you may
hear It distinctly."
"Good gracious, man! Do you sup
pose I'm an ass?"
"You have seen tit to Intimate that
an American gentleman would send
his sweetheart who had discarded him
a bomb. It becomes me as an Amer
ican gentleman to relieve Miss Stan
wood from an unpleasant situation. I
shall open the box."
He began to draw the cover. Those
looklug on. headed by Lord Tallywag.
rushed to the rear of the house,
some stopping iu the dining room,
though his lordship did not pause till
ho had gone out at the kitchen door
into the yard. Some minutes passed.
Grace Stanwood went back to tbo
drawing room aud looked through the
open door. On the table stood the box,
the cover removed, while Bob stood
with an inner box In his hand? a jew
eler's watch case? regarding a lady's
watch of gold and enamel, set with
Jewels.
"Some one has sent you a wedding
present?" said Bob.
"Oh, Bob!" she whispered. "I feared
you would be blown to pieces. You're
brave as a lion."
"Where Is the man who intimated"?
"In the cellar, I expect." She burst
Into a laugh.
"Let us go and And him. 1 wish him
to see my vindication."
Lord Tallywag was found in the back
yard and shown the contents of tlie
box. Then Bob Otis excused himself
from dining with one who had charged
him with lutent to do a cowardly mur
der and departed.
The episode overbalanced Miss Stan
wood's desire for a title. She shipped
his lordship and married Bob Otis. It
was not till after they were married
that Bob confessed he had sent the
Infernal machine.

"Professor Fulcrum, I believe."
"At your service, sir."
"I understand that you have beeu
tor a long while a close studeut of the
brain and have made some remarkable
discoveries."
"1 have simply been building on the
scant knowledge held by our grand
parents. It has been reserved for us
tiu de slecle people to point out the
exact spot on the brain that directs
any special condition."
"Your modesty Is wasted on uie, pro
fessor. It Is you who have made this
last discovery. How did you do It?"
"Vivisection. Our ancestors found
difficulty In getting consent to experi
ment on animals. Now. with some
40(1, 000, 000 of people, life Is so cheap
that we can operate on human beings.
T am indebted to malefactors for my
discoveries. And malefactors are in
debted to me as well, for I can now
make an honest man of a rogue."
"Uy what means?"
"Trepanning. For Instance, I know
the exact spot in the brain that pro
duces kleptomania. 1 cut away a bit
of the skull and llnd an abnormal
development of the brain directly un
der It. This 1 cut away, and the pa
tient lias no more desire to steal."
"Can you turn hate to love, or vice
versa ?"
"No, but I can destroy either the one
or the other."
"Now we are getting down to the
object of my visit. My son Is in love
"with a girl whom I do not wish him
to marry. Can you destroy his love
for her?"
"Yes."
"IIow?"
"Recent development In microscopy
has shown us that each sensation has
a minute corrugation on the brain. On
a certain point in your son's brain will
be found a little protuberance com
pose! of these minute corrugations.
If this protuberance Is removed the
love is killed."
"Forever?"
"Not necessarily. Another operation
Is required to prevent Its return. I
must cut away a certain tiny particle
in the bump of memory for that par
ticular girl."
"Very well, professor. I will bring
m.v son t" you at once. lie Is waiting
without."
Professor Fulcrum consented only on
the payment of an Immense fee and
guaranty of indemnity in case the son ;
claimed damages. Then the young
man was shown Into a room, where
an anaesthetic gas was turned on.
When he was unconscious he was
placed on a table and the operation
performed. On coming to his senses
he found his head bandaged and was
told that a burglar had shot him, mak
ing two bullet holes in the brain. lie
was to be kept quiet till the wounds
healed. He was removed to his borne
"Who the dickens Is this Amanda
Brown who is sending me flowers?"
he asked one morning during conva
lescence.
His Tat her, who hoaril the remark
and hoped that he would marry the
donor, was delighted. He rushed off
to Professor Fulcrum to tell him that
the operation had been eminently sue
cessful.
"Now, professor," lie Bald, "there i
a girl I wish my son to marry. Can
you make him love her?"
"Certainly not."
"Are you sure? She loves him. and
she Is immensely rich."
"I am perfectly sure. I cannot cre
ate. I can only destroy."
Jennie Cnrr, who had been removed
from Walter Iligglns' memory. Insisted
upon seeing him as soon as It was safe
for him to undergo the excitement of
the meeting. Mr. Higgins senior, curi
ous to know If Ills son would remem
ber her on seeing her, granted pertnls
slon at once.
"Oh, Walter." she said plaintively.
"I'm so sorry!"
"Let ine see," said Walter, looking at
her scrutlnhlngly. "So many people
have called to see ine. Where have 1 ;
met you?"
This was enough for Mr. Higgln
senior. He took the girl away and
told her that the shooting bad affected
his sou's memory.
One day six months later Mr. Illg
gins rushed into Professor Fulcrum's '
workroom in a rage.
ou have swindled me!" he cried.
"How so?"
"My son has married the girl, after
all."
"Well?"
"You said that you could guard
against Ills love for her returning by
destroying Ills memory of her. His
love lias returned. He has married
her."
"It has not returned, if lie loves
her it Is a new love, not the old one."
"It Is certainly not a new one, for
my son has had nothing to do with
her since you operated on him."
"I don't believe It. My knowledge Is
bused on long experiment and Is exact
Find out what has taken place be
tween the couple since your son's re
covery and you will prove my post
tion."
Mr. Iligglns departed and in a few
days sent Professor Fulcrum the fol
lowing confession signed by his son's
wife:
I nlways knew that the HIgglns family
were opposed m me and noticed that they
were especially pleased when I was blot
ted from Walter's memory. I had won
him once despite their opposition and re
solved to do so again. keeping my effort
a ieeret from them. I began at the begin
ning In my own way pledging him not to
let his family know of his meetings with
mo: then when I had won him I married
him clandestinely before they could Inter
