"This school question had for more than
a year agitated the church in America. ‘
Amid the din of controversy the appeal to
Rome was loud. The cry went out censo-
Ie-ly that Rome should Speak and that
nothing ell could reestablish peace. So

who were sincere in their appeal will now

leading to a conclusion. Thepope has con-
ferred a boon on all parties concerned by
placing for a time at least a supreme tri-

Inch in thin regard will depend on the
good his presence and action only bring to

we learned by the low. regular breathing

Thenext morning the house was all anti r.
The boarders congregated on the landing
outside my room, and II I and my
self were lions. We had to answer a thon-
xand questiousasto the state of our ex-

traordinary prisoner. for as yet not one

person In the house except ourselves could

The creature was awake. This was evi—
dencul by the convulsive manner in which
the 'hedclothea were moved in its smarts
to escape. There was something truly ter~
rible In behohling, on it. were. those second
hand Indications of the terrible writhing:
and agoniaed struggles for liberty which
themselves were invisible.

Hammond and myself had racked our
brains durlng the long night to discover
some msauaby which we might realize the
shape and general appearance of the en-
Igma. As well as we could make out by
passing our hands over the creature‘s

orm. Its outlines and Iineaments were
human. There was a mouth: a round.
smooth head without hair; a nose. which.
however. was little elevated above the
cheeks; and Its bands and feet felt like those
of a boy. At first we thought of placing the
being on a smooth surface and tracing its
outlines with chalk, an shoemaker: trace
the outline of the foot. This plan was
given up as being of no value. Such an
outline would give not the slightest Idea
of Its conformation.

A happy thought struck me. We would
take a cast of it in plaster of parts. This
would give us the solid figure. and satisfy
all our wishes; but how to do it? The
movements of tho creature would disturb
the setting of the plastic covering and «Ii.»u
tort the mold. Another thought~rvlly not.

was sent for. and after the worthy [lllyfll
clan had recovered from the first shock of
amazement. he pmceeded to administer
the chloroform. In three minutes after
ward we were enabled to remove the fet-
ters from the creature's body. and a mod-
eler was busily engaged to covering the in.
visible form with the moist clay. In five
minutes more we had a mold and before
evening a rough facsimile of the mystery.
It was shaped like a manalistorled.
uncouth and horrible. but still a man.
It was small. not over four feet and some
Inches In height. and Its limbs revealed a
muscular development that was unparal-
