which the message was received, and
an urgent invitation to Mr.. Harish to
| call upon him.
There was but one possible meaning
to all this now. Mr.. Jellipherson had
kept his world 1t was proved hey Dnd
all doubt. Nobody but we three had
ever known of the promise, of the gift
of the club, or of its strange loss. And
/ it was returned to US from America
| only two weeks after having GisGp-
peared in Paris Perhaps that man
even at that moment was watching
me, close at hand; in the air, lowering,
malevolent, on the point of revealing
himself to me in some unearthly SHAPED
How l controlled myself is a constant
surprise to me, but 1 did So and, see
ing that Mr.. Harish was in a fever of
desire to consult the medium, l pro-
posed that we return to New York in
order that he might have his wish l
felt better at home, l told him, than
anywhere else; and 1 knew should
feel safer. So we came back. Mr.
Harish FASTENED at once to the medi-
um, and was more than satisfied. He
told him many things which nobody
in the world or out of 1t knew, except
Mr.. Jellipherson. Still, l made no sign
of the torments I experienced. 1 man.
aged to refrain from shrieking out as
positive
proofs, but from then on l grew worse
and worse. The slightest noise sent Inc
nearly into Mysteries. l saw palmer
than ever horrible shapes in the air.
They came to me and gibbered, max
Ing threatening gestures, Ieering at me,
and touching me with their ShadOwy
fingers; and finally, when one night
Mr.. JelliphersOn himself appeared, as
had always known he would do, at
the head of legion of others like him,
l knew l must give up. l could suffer
no longer in silence. Something in my
brain snapped, a sharp pain pierced
my head, and at the top of my voice
screamed and hid beneath the bed
clothes. But they followed me even
there, and continued to beat me. They
follow me always now at night, so
that in the morning l am literally COW
cred with black and blue spots from
their clubs. See! My body is like that
all over"
She barred her arms to the shoulder,
holding them up pitifully for his in
spectiOn. They were beautiful arms,
rounded, white, perfect. He was not
obliged to remove his eyes from her
own in order to see that, of the bruises
mentioned, there was no trace
throughout their lovely length.
And you never told your husband a
word of all this?" he asked, evenly
mo. 1 could not. The subject dis
tracts me. 1 have tried to speak, but
the spirits prevent me. All l have
been able to do is to try to call his at
tentiOn to the bruises by showing him
my arms: but he does not even see
them. 1 don't understand it. 1t makes
me afraid of him. 1t is as if he were
against me, on their side, not on mine,
md IN or-id Of
their hostility to me-would resent my
accusing them of this horrible thing"
He arose and rearranged the pillows.
THAT is enough, Mrs. Harish," he
said. Lie comfortably down again
and free your mind of all uneasiness.
You shall never be troubled in this
way any more. The persecution shall
be stopped at once. l am going to
bring you a visitor, and when he comes
in you must not cover your head, but,
on the contrary, you must listen to ev-
cry word that passes between him and
me. Will you do this?"
But you are not going to leave me
alone? Doctor, / can't"
He was not holding her eyes now,
and she started up in fright.
No" he treasured her; you shall
have all the company you want, and all
the light. Feel no fear whatever.
know just what to do in this matter,
and from this moment you are safe"
He called in the nurses, and, after
giving them his instructions, sought
Mr.. Harish, who was in the hall. At
sight of the doctor he ran forward ca
gerly.
Il heard her voice. he whispered
1T is wonderful that you could get
her to speak. What did she say? Can
you do anything for herr"
Without a word Dr. FurnivaIl led the
way down stairs to the reception ROOM
Here he resumed his colOred specta-
cles, mOtiOning his companion to sit
facing him.
Mr.. Harish," he said, Il can GER
tainly restore your wife to sanity and
health, but only on condition that you
aid me, at no matter what cost to your
sentiments or hopes or even beliefs"
II don't understand" he faltered
anXiOusly. Certainly" he continued,
Il would do anything in the world for
my wife, and as for beliefs, how can
one change them? Proof is necessarily
convincing, and
1T is proof that I am going to give

without warning you of the results in
advance. Mrs. Harish is suffering
from not extremely rare kind of &C.
fusion regarding the spirits of the
dead, and in order to restore her to
sanity and health, and make the cure
permanent 1 shall be obliged to con-
vince not only her, but you, of a GER
tain truth which will startle you. 1t
is for this that 1 wish to prepare you"
Il don't think anything would shock
me that will cure my wife" said Mr.
Harish, with touch of resentment in
his tones. And my mind is certainly
open to conviction as much as any
mans. Proof is all 1 want, of any
thing. If it is spiTitualism you are hit

excitement, eff you can bring stronger
proofs against it than / have for it
I'll drop it at once, l promise you. But
you can't do it. 1 know 1 know by
proofs so perfect that even you, if
you only dreamed of them, would be as
