manner peculiar to mediums when they come out of trance His face resumed its natural expression. He picked up his hat and walked out of the temple.
 Immediately young lady, well dressed and attractive of feature, left her seat, and with a sliding, pantherlike step moved out into the opening. Her face was wreathed in smiles. As she moved about she didn't speak. Her eyes were almost closed. With her right hand she beckoned encouragingly, while with her left she seemed to be warding off something visi- ble to her, but unseen by those looking on.
 "When she moves her right hand," said Mrs. Van Buskirk, lit means that she is reaching out for some good spirit The motions with the left hand nre to ward off the bad influence"
 When she had made two or threo cir cults of the open space, all the time smil- ing and waving her arms still continuing that curious gliding movement, the young lady began to mutter, but in such low tone that what she said could not be dis tinguished. She dropped into a seat be- side lady and talked oonfldentially several minutes. Then, like one slowly and easily arousng from nap, she opened her eyes widely and was herself again.

Brave will teach squaw bet ter than to keep him away another timc," said the spirit threateningly, all the timo keeping up the pounding. Bravo is master now, and he'll show squaw that 
 Then followed the strangcst part of this scene As if with some invisible person, Myra Paine struggled and wrcstlod about the spaco At last, as if the unseen power had got the better of her, she was suddenly thrown prostrate on the ground.
 Mrs. Van Buskirk supported the fragile woman for a few minutes and then led her to her seat. Later in the seance Myra Paine came forward and in right mind said that sho owed an explanation. It was true that she resisted the coming of her Indian control. For a long time she had kept the Indian spirit from coming, and she believed that she had done very wrong. In the past year she had felt at times loss of mediumistic power, and she now believed that her bad treatment of her Indian control was the cause of it. She felt that she deserved what they had just scen
