was here he felt, that his: viii to get
well, his desire to free himself, was
keen also. And that gave him an i'm
pulse Of honesty.

Cochran nodded at him.
! "Well, you're making an excellent

as wrong about what you say you will
what you have done. You won't do
anything of the kind.' ~
"Ah, surely this is suggestion, hyp-

Walter Cochran gave one little click
Of jmpatience; then that passed. -
~ IN almost getting fatigued with
hearing people say that,'' he said.
nIt's you who have, been suggesting.
things to yourself and imagi ming them
with remarkable zvividness: You we
got to reverse all that; you We got to
say to yourself now, Il will do none of
those things I want to get your will
on the right side. So now plan an
other evening for yourself. Come, what

.tt.Why?' asked Thurso. b
''Besause 7 shall be treating you by
then,'' said he, :. and I find it's an
excellent plan to treat people while
their bodies are reposing Or asleep.
They themselves, Of course, their s6S1s,
are never asleep, and I guess it's be-
cause the body is lying quiet and not
suggesting distractions. -..e......
"But Maud tried to treat me once

the effect was that I coundn't get to
sleep at all. I thought she was in the

Altho he had said just now that the
treatment did not interest him, he was
talking with genuine interest. There
was something so attractive about this
big, strong young man, who looked SO
aWfully well and sane, and seemed to
diffuse sanity and health. Yet, on this
one subject, how Enthusiastically his mind
framed itself, and swithal how simple
and unfantastic he seemed to think-it
'tWhy, that was real good Of Lady
Maud, WASH T it ~ he said. "And
that feeling Of yours that she was in
the room was very likely to happen.
I'll tell you why-like everything else
to do with science, it s. SO simple. The
practitioner ought quite to sink him
self; he shouldn It be conscious of HIM
self at all. He muslin t think that he is
controlling the working Of the power
of Divine Love. But that unconscious
ness Of ones self only comes with
practice. At first. the healer finds that
his personality ohtrudess itself -
Quite unconsciously Thurso began to
be more interested -unconseiously, too,
and. for the first time the craving for
the drug, which had reached an acute
point, began Of its own. accord to grow
less keen. The very simplicity: Of the
thing, if only he could believe it was
true, struck him.
