dent of much learning, and that L had
come and broken in on his thoughts in the
night with other thoughts even more ac-
ceptable; that had conversed for at
least three hours in Parbatiya-whatever
language that may be--on the ethical side
of life, and that II, mind you-had
quoted long passages from Bhagavata and
other standard poetry; and he was justly
incensed that | should now come and mock
him with pretended ignorance. l tried to
explain to the Suru, but as | was quite at
sea myself j doubtless failed and l con-

his learned robe about him and, with
profound obeisance to his friend, stalked

ference, and then asked And what about
your interesting lady, Billy?'
"Oh, damn L beg her pardon! Let
her go TO grass! I'll send old Barnes to
along with mel Wen drop Poonah, and
WillislI be glad to fill your place here,
and What. You went? Well,'of all the
obstinate pigs
But Allan only laughed on and then in

next month as yoH Intended, and I'll be
through the chapter that's bothering me;
then we'll skip specializing and general
practice together and do what you so
rudely said of the lady-'go to grass'-fer six
long weeks. Not a sanitarium, though: that
don't go. Well run in to Behar, and put
up with old Mckenzie Eth? What d. y
say?"
I'D rather you'd go tonight, Allan
Not for thousand rupees! Look here,

These willy old fakiis that you have here

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES nothing like IL for
seif-hypnotiza tion-and that's just about
what's happened to me. I've been analyz-

quite sure that this is a perfectly normal
physiological process-we have lots of d TIA
