about to be separated from loved ones
by death. During the earlier stages Of
my disease had no idea while in my
second state. Of employing my time in
anything useful. / cared for nothing
but to ramble about, and never tired Of
walking through the fields and woods.

for two or three consecutive days and
nights 1 would neither eat nor sleep. l

Those feelings. however, began grad.
ually to wear away. and eventually
quite disappeared"
Mary Reynolds two lives were thus
entirely separate and the intervention OF
one or the other apparently made no
break in the continuity Of either one.
The strangest feature of this metamor-
phosis was that in her normal or first
state" she was quiet and sedate and
pensive almost to melancholy, with an
intellect sound though rather slow and
singularly destitute Of the imaginative
faculty, while in the abnormal or second
state. che was gay and cheerful, extraya-
gsntly fond Of society. fun and practical
jokes, with lively fancy and a strong
propensity for rhyming. Her hand
writing was entirely different in the one
state from that Of the other. In her nor.
NAL condition Miss Reynolds regarded
her dual personality with dread, as a
severe affection of Providence and epec-
tally. AZ she said, because it might lead
her to forget her parents and loved ones.
Yet in the abnormal state she dreaded
the return of the normal condition or
personality for quite different reasons.
She looked upon it as passing from q
bright and joyous into dull and stupid
phase OF life.
She then became acquainted with
members OF the family in both person.
alities and was especially fond Of her
brother John, who resided at Meadville,
some thirty miles from her home in
Venango County. On one occasion,
while in her second state" she rode to
Meadville on horseback and visited at
the home Of Mrs. Kennedy where she
became guest for several weeks. A.
mong other friendships there che made
one with q Miss Nancy Dewey and they
occupied the same bedroom. One night
they agreed to play q practical joke on
John Reynolds. who was boarding at
the same house, but when Mary awoke
she had changed to her natural etsts.
She, Of course, found herself sleeping
with total stranger. in q strange house
and in a town che had never before

into which she had been 90 strangely

into which she had been 90 strangely
reborn.
After remaining in this infaptile con-
dition for five weeks. she awoke one
morning in her natural state, without
the slightest recollection Of the lapse
into juvsnility, and she took up life at
the precise point where she had left it
when she fell into that slumber from
which she had awoke to the new life.
The change of the season and the dif-
ference that the interval of five weeks
had made in the home were wonderful
to her, as having occurred in one night.
After the lapse Of few weeks there
was recurrence Of the profound slum-
Der and an awakening to the infantile
life which she thereupon resumed, her
knowledge being limited TO what che
had acquired during the past five weeks
term" Of the new life.
These alterations from one state to
the other continued for fifteen or six
teen years, and only ceased finally when
she had attained the age of thirty five
or thirty-six years, leaving her per-
manently in "her second state" in
which she remained without change for
the last quarter OF century of her life.
In 1896 Miss Reynolds, who was then
housekeeper for her nephew, the Rev.
erend John V. Reynolds, D. D., at his
request, made a written statement of
some Of the facts Of her remarkable ex-
perience. As she was then permanent
ly established in "the second state"
having no recollections Of the incidents
of her normal state. she relied upon the
testimony Of friends for the circum-
stances concerning it. She says:

first change occurred, until within eight
or ten years. frequently changing from

but in no instance did I continue more

the character OF my sleep. But in pass

he was an intimate friend Of Robert

in "the forest primevsl." 1t was in
Venango County. in Western Pennsyl-
vania, between Franklin and Titusville
which latter place was than only q
settlement made by Jonathan Titue,
Mr.. Reynolds nearest neighbor. Hav-
ing. with the assistance Of his son, built
a log cabin, Reynolds left the lad to
take care Of it while he returned to
New York to bring the remainder Of
the family. In four months they were
reunited in their western home. or
this family was daughter, Mary Roy
nolds, born in England and q child
when brought to America. There was
nothing remarkable about her child
hood and youth. She possessed an ex-
cellent capacity and enjoyed fair OPP
portunities to acquire knowledge. Mr..

OF what was then the Far West" 30
that the family had the advantage, not
enjoyed by other frontier families, of
associating with education and culture
and they seem to have profited thereby.
Mary, while not brilliant. seems to have
been endowed with an uncommonly
well-balanced mind. She became sub
ject to "fits" when she was eighteen
years old, though no reliable informa-
ton as to their ca1se or character is
given.
In 1911. when Mary was about nine.
teen years Of age. she had an attack OF
unusual severity. She had taken
book, one Sunday in the spring, and
had gone into the field at some distance
from the house that she might read in
quiet. She was found lying insensible
and, being restored to consciousness,
was blind and deaf for five or six weeks.
When she recovered sight and hearing
and was almost restored to her former
health, about three months after this
attack. came the first indication of
double consciousness. She was found
one morning, long after her usual hour
for rising, in profound slumber. from
which she awoke after some hours.
In that sleep she lost all recollection
of her former life. She knew neither
father, mother nor relatives. All her
acquired education had passed from
her and her knowledge Of common.
everyday things and Of language was
precisely that of a newborn infant.
The only difference between her con-
dition and that Of babe was that she
had the faculty OF acquiring knowledge
possessed by mature person and thus
rapidly learned the lore OF the world

Hotel GOSSiD|

1t was evident today from the scenes
and conversation about the, hotel corrd-
doris that the lull in business which vas
caused by the election, was over Very
little was said about politics. Drum
mers were engaging sample rooms n
city merchants had time to come In and
examine goods. On the registers there
was a notable absence of the names of
candidates for office, and of politicians.
Il count this as the day on which we re-
sumo business" said a travelling man, at
the McDermott. "Cf course, we have
never exactly given UP business during
the campaign, but politics absorbed. so
much of the time of tradesmen hat we
worked at a disadvantage. The returns
were coming yesterday, and men who
were up late the night OF election day
We're making up sleep. These things had
a tendency to make the day after cleo
ton almost as poor a one for business
as the day OF election itself. All that
sort Of thing is over now. and we are
ready to rush things again. Then there
is another factor in this rade situation
which must not be lost sight OF. Many
merchants felt a little uneasy before the
election because of the uncertainties that
might be involved in case the democrats
got control of the government. They hes
itated to buy goods in large quantities
until they could know that a settled con-
dition of things could tie assured. Now
that the returns show that the republf-
cans are going to continue in power and
that a stable condition OF affairs can be
depended upon, purchases will be made
more freely. I don't suppose that many
people who are in business seriously con-
teGlfllated a change dn the national ad-
ministration, but just the same mer-
chants are not likely to take long chnaces
by making heavy purchases wnen there
is some uncertainty aaoou, what condi-
lions they may have to meet before the
goods are sold. This has been we'll DEM
onstrated several times during the last
ten years. A man don't like to gamble
in his business if he can avoid it,"
