kindred subjects. Blayatska is dead, but
Besant, the high priestess and believer,
and Stead, the investigator, still live.
la India there are societies thousands
and thousands of years old, from whom
Blayatska caught her glimpses Of Mir
yana.
Now and then one Of the mysterious
brUtheThOOds send out 20 the world across
the great waters an adept In their science.
Hearing 80 much talk around the city
Of Prof. Harding's wonderful power,
concluded TO call on the gentleman 10

looking man, with an eye that, TO the
practical individual, would denote ply
steal weakness Of that organ, but 20 one
OF an imaginative mind, the windows OF
soul, which through them sees, but not
as we do.
The reporter said: "Prof. Harding, |
have called upon you this morning In
search OF something interesting for my
paper, and having read much OF the
powers OF the adopts in your science, /
am sure you can give II 10 me-"
Prof. Harding smiled, and, answering
with goOd-natured pleasantly, told the
reporter that he could give few exam,
pes OF his powers as an adept, II that
YVES desire.
The professor told the reporter more OF
his past life than Rousseau ever revealed
in the Classic Confessions"
The reporter was told that he had a
piece OF paper. Folding the paper, he
laid II upon the table. Then he said:
What Is your favOrite cOlOr?"

leads TO the house."
Think OF II reader, he even went 30 far
as TO describe the pitcher. But the
reporter was eXultant and was Just
about TO say, you have failed" for the
description did not suit his home, when
the adept went on, 1T Ia the home OF a
young lady. whereof, at the age OF nine
teen years, you was a guest"
The reporters faber collapsed, the
adept had carried him back 10 pluck a
flower from broken pitcher he would
never forget.
These and many more things, some OF
such a personal nature, that. although
the reporter was a newspaper man In
every sense OF the word, he draws a line
at making all of his life public; sufficient
70 say that he left Prof. Harding with a
iirn conclusion that he was a wonderful
man protesting wonderful science by
the aid OF which he reveals strange and
mysterious things to the man who
knows not OF the ways he has travelled
TO reach his wonderful perfection.
