The Savannah morning news. (Savannah, Ga.) 1900-current, 1904-10-16

inconsiderately neglected to pass
around cards notifying his friends of
his future address, so no matter how
penitent Grace might be, she was de-
prived of the opportunity to acknowl-
edge her sins at first hand. Of all
SINNERS acquaintances there was only
one person, so far as Grace knew, who
was at all likely to know where he
had gone, and as that was a chap who
also had been an ardent admirer of
hers at one time she felt some hesitancy
about making Skinner the subject Of
conversation.
"One day, however, when the young
man called she seemed positively oh
sessed with thoughts of Skinner Try
as she might to keep her wits together,
she scarcely could speak an intelligent
sentence. Her whole mind was on
Skinner, and no matter what the young
man talked about Grace sat there say
ing over and over to herself: oh, if
1 only dared ask him if he knows
where Charley Skinner is At last
the young man started home. When
he got to the door he stopped and
said:
Oh, by the way, l wonder what
has become of Charley Skinner? 1
haven't given him thought for months
until to-day. 1t has suddenly occur
red to me that I'd like to know some
thing about him. L believe I'll look
him up
"Graces head went round danger
ously fast. Can you find out anything
about him?' she asked.
Yes said the young man. 1T is
the easiest thing in the world. 1 know
some folk down in Fulton street who
Will be sure to keep track of him. I'll
see them tomorrow and learn some
thing about him. I'd like to know,
just out of curiosity
"The young man kept his word. He
learned SINNERS address and Grace
wrote to him, and month later Skim
ner was back and the date for the
wedding was set a second time"
The man with the red mustache stop
ped and asked some one for match.
1t seems to me-" said the young
man who smokes. that you are con-
demning telepathy unjustly. 1 con-
slider that one of the clearest cases of
thought transference ever came
across"
"Oh, that part of it is all right" adj
mitted the man with the red mus
tache. Possibly their mental appli-
ances worked all right. 1t is the out
come of the telepathic correspondence
that 1 object to. No sooner did Grace
and Skinner get into their pre-matri-
montal harness than they became re-
miniscent.
Weren't. you ever coming back to
me?' cooed Grace.
Never said Skinner. TT was your
fault l went away. By the way, you
have never told me yet how you hap
pened to find out where I was
And then Grace, being filed with
the enthusiasm common to recent
psychic converts, related her exper-
fence with the obliging young man.
She expected Skinner to be pleased at
that exhibition of her hypnotic pow
ers, but he wasn't.
" DO you mean to tell me- he Said
that your two minds work in such ac-
cord that by just wishing you can make
that fellow do whatever you want him
to?
81 did that time said Grace in
nocently.
Then said Skinner, he is the man
for you instead of me. He is bet
ter suited to you than 1 am. You
and I couldn't make our thoughts hit
off that well in a hundred years. Wed
better quit before it is too late. I'm
off again
And that time Skinner left for good
Last month Grace married the other
young man, but my wife swears she
isn't happy, so, although Grace may
have been able to work the telepathic
wire without hitch, can't see where
in she profited by it. Hence my con-
tention that it isn't such a valuable
science after all"
