Synopsis of Preceding Chapters
LARL GRIER, though an English boy of aver
n age health and sturdness, was gifted with
sixth sense, which the author termed teleenoniy,
or far-knowing. The first evidence of his extra
ordinary power was recorded when he was four
years old. He fell and was hurt, and translated
to himself without difficulty the EXPLANATIONS of
the persons about him, though the remarks were
given in German, French, Scottish dialect and
Indian. He understood the language of all ami
mails as we'll.
One day, when living in India, he described to
his father plot to murder a neighbor, which he
perceived distinctly, though the plotters We're
miles away The plot was frustrated and the
rufians captured solely on his information.
AT ten years of age he taken to England
He astounded those on board the steamer by his
strange knowledge For instance, he discerned
the moons of the planet Jupiter, and then in the
evening Armenian commercial man fell over
board. Though it in darkness, the boy
guided the ships boat to the man in the water,
where Karl could see him distinctly mile away.
This man, Paul Constantine, conceived an
travagant affection for Karl. The young "teleg-
nomst " was sent to school, where he puzzled
the teacher with his psychic feats.
Grown to young manhood, Grier one night felt
desire to recall Maggie Hutchinson, girl he
had known in India, and distinctly saw her eating
dinner with Constantine at a New-York seaside
resort, although he, Grer, was in England.
