The record-union. [volume] (Sacramento, Calif.) 1891-1903, 1892-05-14

then it SUNK in and united without my
knowing it. I went and paid my fine.
and then, not waiting TO breakfast,
[ proceeded to project it. 1t wouldn't
move! l tried again and again; l
had no more power over 1t than chlld.
knew it was there, but l could not move
it an inch. In wrath, L jumped up,
seized my cap. and started for the RaJah's
rooms. The rogue saw what was up TO:
/ give you my word, [ had not reached
the door when it projected me most
viciously, and l landed down IN the
Parks.
1 was not to be baten. I came back to
college at run and made straight for the
Rajah's rooms. TWAS on the lookout for
me- AS l ran by my oak, which had 10
pass, it rushed out on me, united, ana
projected me back again to Magdalen
bridge. This happened three times. Then
] sat down in the parks, just were l
dropped, and acknowledged to myself
that / was in q pretty fix. / had q fearful
week of it. OF course, wherever was IL
could unite at once by just thinking OF
me; and directly 1t had united 1t used,
believe out of pure malice, to project me
somewhere where ! did not want to go.
1t was lucky for me that it was new to the
business its powers were as yet very I'M
developed, and consequently 1t did not
carry very far. If it could, am sure 1t
would have sent me to hamtchatka; put,
as it was, never went farther than Inc
University bOat-hOuSe-a pretty tidy step
on bad morning. Still it was improV--
| ing, and | felt that l must act at once II L
| did not want to be permanent Wanderer
on the face of the earth.
| My only chance was to engrOSs its at
tention in some way, so that 1t would
| forget me for little while and leave me
! free to speak to the Rajah. [ pinned all
my hopes on the Rajah. Well, one morn
! ing, about week after it first projected
me, I went for a walk in Christchurch
! Meadow. We were united, and it had
actually left me in peace ever since break
| fast. [ hoped it's better feelings were
| beginning to get the mastery of it, and in
order TO see, / tried to project it. No, 1t
would not move! The creature was still
recalcitrant.
! Suddenly I saw essie Drayton just in
front Of me. In delight at seeing her L
forgot about it, and, quickening my pace,
smiled divinely, saying: Why, Mr..
| Mares, was just going to write"-- At
| that moment when | was listening to her
sweet voice, it projected me! Gould i'll
nature go further? But luckily its mind
was not really concentrated on what it
was doing. l believe it was thinking of
| Bessie, and consequently it only carried
about a hundred yards. l landed be-
hind one OF the big elmS, where lay
perdU till it had gone by. 1t and bessie
passed me together, and 1t was grlnnIng
from ear to ear and looking as pleased as
Punch. And poor Bessie, who thought
she was talking to me, was being most
charming to it.
| did not waste time in swearing. I ran
like the wind back to college, hoping
that BeSsie's society would prevent 1t
coming after me till I had spoken to the
Raiah. l still retained one pull over 1t.
In order to unite it had to come where l
was: it could not resume me from dis
lance, as | used to resume it; so ii it
united now it would have to leave
Bessie.
BY blessed chance the Rajah was at
home, and in trembling haste | poured
my story into his ear. lie burst out
laughing.
4 was afraid of it!' he gasped, hold
ing his sides. How splendid F."
restrained my annoyance, and after 8
time he became a little more grave.
"Do nelp me ~ l urged. 1T may unite
at any moment and project me the deuce
knows where"
"Oh, it'll be all right with the young
.Not for long. She's very particular
and won't let it walk far with her"
"Oh, then we must act. You don't feel
it YETI"
The Rajah sported his oak, took off his
coat, lay down on the floor, and went into
commissions. l regretted putting him TO
so much trouble; but my need was
urgent, and l knew that he was u good
natured man. Presently he cried (anu l
was Just getting alarmed about HIM:
Are you there, Nani-Ial ?''
Certainly" said an old White-haired
gentleman, dressed in a sheet, who sat in
the Rajah's armchair.
That's all right" said the Rajah, get

He said it was too bad for the Rajah.
, How were they to live ifthat sort OF thing
went on? Then he turned to me and
{ added, "Of course you couldn't manage
it. II you'd gone through the course you
would have been all right. But there,
it's everything for nothing nowadays"
''My friend couldn't go to Thibet."
