We must not forget that it is the same woman with
whom Hodgson worked through many years, and
who had become thus most familiar and intimate
with the whole circle in which Hodgson moved.

memory of the man. The only thing which perhaps
could not be hers his scientific interest and
further facts which he kept secret from her. In

life absorbed by the passion,-to understand
the conditions Of existence after death,-devoting
his whole scholarly career to this group of prob

his most intimate friends. And now he enters into
the land of the eternal mystery; all the secrets
to him, and with full consciousness of personal
identity he last attans the power of direct COM

The Mysterious Conversation
THE typical form of the intercourse is like this:

believe in his spirit theories and in his communica-

At first he had been a skeptica critic of mystical
happenings but slowly he had turned round and
finally he lived entirely in devotion to his super
natural studies. To unvel the mystery of death,
not by philosophy religion, but by experiment
and observation, that was his passion, and mat
ter of course he arranged with his nearest friends
that if one of them died he should do his utmost to
give unmistakable proof of his spiritual existence in
another world
1t was hardly surprising that his death gave the
signal for spiritual performances in all parts of the

Yet the fraud was so evident that serious minded
occultists hardly gave any attention to these cheap
tricks. But soon the situation changed It became
known that Hodgson's friend Professor Hysop, the

Research had attained to contact with the deceased

as to Mrs. Piper, it seems unreasonable to be
