thought thoroughly masters the mind the action will take place"
 How shall get in your room? Shall I knock? Or, perhaps, shan't be bring ing my knckles with me! Isay-Iguess shall look jolly funny. Do you think . policeman will stop me?" asked.
 "To the outsider you will be invis- ible. The body is all that is visible in man-the spirit for what 1t looks like might be non est There is nothing to see."
 And yet it's all the time?" said. with huge laugh, which disconcerted Johnson. "But-how shall you know me?"
 T shall expect you. It is mind to mind. Our minds will work in unison, and your thoughts will be my thoughts. 1 shall keep my whole energy transflxed upon your coming. I shall speak with you. and you will reply" Then it Is usual for spirit to bring his throat and lungs with him, is it?" queried, incredulously. q say-it will look beastly funny to see throat and set of lungs waltzing about, won't it?" You're frivolous" he chastised me with. You do not see the possibilities"
 "I see the impossibilities, though" ventured. First of all, as I asked be- fore, how am I-even If consent to my invisible portion taking constitutional after supper-to get into your house? Please don't suppose my dear Johnson, that I'm goin~ to fly through your bed room window. I'm not; flying is entire- ly out of my line. If have the control of my spirit to will it to come I'm not go- ing to treat it shabbily by making it fly through window. If it comes at all. it's coming in the orthodox way. But again" l summed up, how can knock at your door when my knuckles are with the other part of me in bed? cant ring the bell, either. Furthermore, can't turn the handle of the door even if you promised not to fasten it." You're getting practical now. old chap" said Johnson, looking pleased "I agree with you-there must be no ob- 1 struction in the way. And there shall not be. I will leave the door ajar. and sleep in the room nearest, and greet you as soon as you come in" i "You-youre sure you'll know mo? shouldn't like to come all that way and feel like perfect stranger, of course And l don't want to get in the wrong room. do you hear?" said. emphatical- ly. Just for this once I'm going to do the thing you ask. but I'm going to do it properly. and If everything isn't just as want it, shall go back. suppose you'll have little refreshment ready for me on my advent? Oh, forgot, of course-I. shan't have any-any accom- modation for holding supper with me. shall I! Of course not. But shall ex- pect drink of some sort, because un- derstand that l shall have my throat"
 Johnson agreed.
 Its bargain" he said "I shall be anxiously waiting for you from half-past one until three o'clock" Good" said. "I'll come--of course, all being well. You'll send, cab up to our house for my other part. because we shall have to go down to business to- gstheE.S- ,..4. sz.,.,r.ss,-. .a.s,.ss,s
 We shook hands on 1t.
 "Half-past one" he said, you'll start the thought"
 agreed.
 "Yes. don't be late" were his last words, and went into the house.
 jumped into bed-ieaving my win- dow open again-and started on my thinking mission. pictured Johnson s rooms, and again and again pictured them--until got completely sick of the sight of them. But persisted gamely. and at times almost felt myself nov ing. l conscientiously tried my best for the good of the cause, and more than once l called myself and my adjunct sundry uncomplimentsry adjectives for their inability to separate. I had fairly got Johnson's bedroom now into my brain. a drowsiness came over me-and lost consciousness.
 When awoke the next morning was c firm believer in Johnson and his pet theory. I had certainly been-dreaming -Un my ignorance put it that way)- and I recalled how had spent portion of the night at his residence. was sure he'd be pleased with me.
 He called round the next morning, looking most disappointed. however.
 "You-you never came" he said, sulkily. and left the door wide open all night for you
 assured him that. as far as I could say. a portion of me had called upon him in the interim.
 His face lighted up in an instant.
 "Oh. then it was you, after all.' he said, looking relieved. That's all right
 Then some-somebody came all right?" I Queried. nervously.
 Yes. and-and they took my best clothes! And-and my watch has gone! One of your jokes, suppose?'
 Fl never saw any watch nor clothes" stammered, confusedly.
 You asked me to leave the door open"
 My dear sir" tx2.
 You say you came.
 My dear Johnson
 You deny having taken them?"
 Certainly. Tn fact. I'm really-i'm really not sure whether I came at all. I blurted out.
