END OF 4 ROMANCE.

From PearSOn's Weekly.
AT large wedding reception recently the
attention of a couple Of girls was attracted
to rather fine-iooking man. whose prema-
turely gray hair and Clear-cut features
combined in giving him a distinguished APP
pearance.
Il see him at nearly every large wedding
1 go to-" said one. Il wonder who he can
be. I've asked lots of people, and nobody
seems to know. Yet he seems to be invited
everywhere"
Yes, I've noticed him. TOO" said the
other girl. while he apparently goes to
all the big weddings, he doesn't seem 10

an interesting-lool<ing man, too. III love to
meet him. He looks like a man who had
lived aod-and suffered"
A young man standing near, who couldn't
help overhearing this conversation
laughed.
Perhaps I can throw some light upon
the identity of your mysterious hero" he
said.
DO you know him. exclaimed both girls
in the same breath.
We'll l can't say that I exactly know
him" replied the young man, but know
who he is. He's a private detective. Per-
haps you have noticed that he never strays
far away from the tables on which the
presents are displayed. That's what he's
there for-to watch them. You know there
are social highwsymen in

THREE AT TELEPATHY.

Professor Hudson the well-knowu psy-
chologist, has just published n very inter.
esting paper on modern Spiritualism," said
a gentleman who has a penchant for such
Investigations. Hand he refers In IT, among
other things. to n remarkable case Of telep-
athy a trOis.' which was witnessed by a
resident of New Orleans. Telepathy a trots
means thought transference by three. In
other words. a is en- rapport with B. and
B with c. and through that chain c re-
ceives thought message from A. who Is
not present and may he hundreds OF miles
away. 1t Is Il theory that very few Of the
telepathists themselves indorse. yet IT is
supported by some strong evidence. I am
familiar with the incident 10 which Profess
sor Hudson refers in his article. but IT Is
less striking. in my opinion. than some
thing that happened in this city only few
months ago. I am n member of a little
club at which We occasionally make ex-
periments i'm telepathy. On the occasion
have in mind prominent lady musician Of
New Orleans acted as reader and tried to
obtain ges from several OF us in turn
One of her subjects was & visitor, an Epis-
copai clergyman from Minneapolis, who
was greatly interested in the test. The
reader described the interior Of his study,
essential detail, Then sudjen'.I she said:
You are troubled about the accident to
your brother. His leg Is very painful, but
he writes you he is feeling better The
clergyman was perplsXed. 4 don't know
what she is talking about he said. 4 have
only one brother; he Is living In California,
and has met with no mishap' Neverthe-
less the reader persisted. He sent yol
typewriter letter she said. so you
wouldn't know he was unable to use a pen.'
Some strange blunders are made in even
the most successful exhibitions of teleparhy,
and we attached no special Importance to
this curious message. Two days later. how
ever, the clergyman was greatly excited
by the receipt of letter from Los Angeles,
announcing that his brother had fallen
from his horse and broken his leg. The
letter was written on typewriter. just as
described. and was in the mail at the time
of the seance. There were five witnesses
to that incident-all people of unimpeacha-
BILE veracity. IL it wasn't a case of ielepa-
thy trois, / am at a loss to know how to
explain it."-New Orleans Tlmes-Democr2x.
