Machine squinted at him curiously, then dropped
back into his big chair
For several minutes Varick said nothing; he
seemed to be struggling to control himself. Sud
denly he burst out I'm going to die day
next week. Is there anyway to prevent it"
The Thinking Machine turned his great yellow
head and looked at him in manner which nearly
indicated surprise "Of course if you've made up
your mind to do it," he said irritably Il don't see
what can be DONE There a trace of irony in
little Just how is it going to happen?'
Il shall be murdered-Stabbed in the baCk-by
man whom l don't know, Varick rushed on
Dear me, dear me! How unfortunately COM
rlented the scientist. Tell something about
it. But here" He rose and went into his 1abora-
tory After a moment he returned and handed
glass of some effervescent liquid to Varick, who
eulped it down Take minute to pull yourself
together" instructed the scientist.
He resumed his seat and sat SILENT with his long,
slender fingers pressed tip to tip. Gradually Varick
recovered. 1t was fierce fight for the mastery of
his emotions.
Now directed The Thinking Machine at last,
tell me about it.
Varick told just what happened 1ucidly enough,
and The Thinking Machine listened with polite in
terest Once or twice he turned and looked at his
visitor.
DO you believe in any psychic force?" Varick
asked once.
Il don disbeheve in anything until have proven
that it cannot be, was the answer. The God who
hung sun up there has done other things which
we will never understand" There was a little
pause then: How did you meet this man Adhem
Singh?"
Il have been interested for years in the psychic,
the occult the things don't understand, Varick
replied Il have a comfortable fortune, no occu-
patton, no dependents and made this sort of
