ton and tweak his nose. The two
things seemed equally preposterous and
impossible.
AT this juncture OF affairs. curiously
enough, there fell into the hands OF DR.
Amsden a book that offered a magical
solution OF the problem that perplexed
him-viz.. how 10 make love to the
woman who had ensnared his heart with
out being conscious OF doing It. This
book was called The Law OF Psychic
Phenomena" and its central theory
was that the subjective mind" or soul
OF any person. by a process OF auto
suggestion. may enter into communi-
cation with the subjective mind OF an
other person at any distance whatso-
ever. A condition Of sleep. either cata-
ieptic or natural. is induced by the

whom he wishes TO communicate. Then
away goes his spirit-his phantasm-
while he is buried in unconscious slum-
Der, appears in his very image to the
person designated and delivers the
message with his very voice and man
ner. Truly a marvellous theory. and
OF untold significance TO timid lovers
and bashful solicitors of every kind.
According to this theory. DR.. Ans
den, in order to make telepathic love
10 Miriam Foote. need simply TO
10 sleep on certain night, with
strong determination to send his phan-
tasm to the young woman with an elo-
quent appeal of affection. That was all.
IL was not even necessary for him TO
furnish the general substance. intro
duction or any portion Of this glowing
address. He need simply specify that
II should be passionate and rich in YER
bal color-ordering a proposal much as
he would dinner at a first-class hotel,
with perfect confidence that at the
proper time ii would be served in
proper form. To be sure, this method
of wooing was not in strict accordance
with the traditional etiquette OF az
fairs. 1t might even be considered that /
this proposal by sort of phantasmal /
proxy was hardly fair TO the object OF /
the experiment. A ghost is. after all,
but ghost, whether it be attached to

prejudice in favor Of a feshy lover.
