son; you had bettsr think twice before
you decide Our business with Moore is
our own AFFAIR and his. He knew what
he had TO expect before he came here,
and he knew. also. Just what dangers
threatened you IL he brought you with
hfrn. He acted the part OF coward In
doing so. and II you win heed good ad-
vice you will have nothing mora to do
with him."
what have you done with himf" was
all the reply made
I'VE have done with him sust exactly
az we now propose TO do with you. for
see that you are incorrfgibie. Pick him
up boys. 1t IL a waste Of breath TO argue
with him
II should attempt to describe the ex-
perfences through which I passed during
the ensuing hour and a half, credulity
would be taxed to the utmost. but n Is
certain that every ruse which the inge-
nuity OF the human mind could conceive
was forced upon me to induce me in
some way to desert Moore or to deny
him As the ceremony progressed-and
before the proceedings had occupied
above an hour had decided that Il was
ceremony OF some kind--it dawned
upon me. dimly at first. and then with
the force OF certainty. that was under
going some sort OF initiation: what IL
was could not determine. The real
truth did not once occur to me.
At last, with the bandage stiil over my
eyes, heard these words:
The Seattle post-intelligencer. [volume] (Seattle, Wash. Terr. [Wash.]) 1888-1914, 1900-09-16

MY friend"-and the voice startled me,
for fancied that recognized TIT IL
with unmixed pleasure that announce
the completion OF your trfas7 ana sur
fering. You have been tried in the bal
ance and have not hean fours Wartime
in the virtues which we require OF all
candidates. Whoever enters here must
possess all tho qualities which are ex-
pressed by the word Friend which Is
the most abused and traduced word in
our language. Throughout all the tests
that have been applied to you. you have
been steadfast, loyal and true. What
more can one friend ask OF ancther7
You were willing at the request OF Mr..
Moore, TO go blindly into unknown dam
gers, content to await an explanation
until he chose TO grant one, and you have
found here many who stand ready at
any moment TO perform the same service
for you. And now. after some further
initiation and instruction. you will have
become a member Of the most secret
order In the werld--and the most mag
nificent. Even its true name is never
mentioned never uttered aloud Mr..
Moore will remove the bandage from
your eyes and cut the cords that bind
you. After he has craved your pardon
for the imposition he has practfced upon
you. you win be instructed in the mys-
teries of this sacred order"
That Is all. I wish / might tell the
rest. but I cannot.
