A sPIRiTuALISTIc WONDER.

Science in the past has had little

called spirit mediums" Wonderful as

proven them TO be of fraudulent origin
that the scientist early dismissed them
as unworthy Of serious consideration.
That science maintains this same
opinion today there can be no doubt,
and yet an apparent exception is GER

ton, these cold-blooded Investigators
have publicly announced that they
have been convinced that the wonders
they have witnessed ut her seances are
neither the result Of trickery nor of
hallucination.
The fact that they have admitted
their confidence i'm the PalIadino phe-
nomena, however does not necessarily
imply that they have been converted
to everything else that is popularity
supposed TO go with such belief. They
accept the facts that they have sue
ceeded i'm demonstrating-the facts
they have proved, not only by the sense
organs but by their mechanical instru-
ments as well-and yet, despite this
admission, most of them are still just
as materialistic as they always have
been. To their minds, the phenomena
is sufficiently important to stand by
themselves and they have eliminated
the spfritist hypothesis i'm trying to
explain them. Instead. many of them
are now convinced that the faculty
that Eusapia displays so astonishingly,
is one that though latent is existent

To give money is not all there is of

not the end of it. There is a char

There are many in sore need Of

CHAPTER xvlI.-(continued.)

The child furtively tested her coin,
biting it as If to taste the glitter, and
Flora waited, lost, given up by her
self, passively watching for the room
to be filed again with his presence.
He was back after long minute, and
this time took up his stand at the
door, where, pushing aside the tight
drawn curtain little, from time to
time he looked out into the street.
Sometimes his eyes followed the
cracks Of the plastered wall, some
times he studied the floor at his feet;
every moment she saw he was alert,
expectantly watching and waiting;
and though he never looked at her sit
ting behind him, she felt his protec-
tion between her and the darkening
street. She sat in the shadow Of it,
feeling It all around her, claiming her
as 1t would claim her henceforth,
from the world. A ghost of light
giimmered along the curtains Of the
window, and stopped, quivering, in
the middle Of the curtained door.
Then he turned and beckoned her.
Sheer weakness kept her sitting. He
went to her, took her face between
his hands, and looked into it long and
intently.
"You don't want to go!" The words
fell from his lips like an accusal His
sudden realization of what she felt
held him there dumb with disappoint-
ment. "You have won me-" her look
was saying, "and yet | have immedi-
ately become a worthless thing, be-
cause am going; and l don't believe
In going" She felt she had failed
him-how cruelty, was written in his
face. But 1t was only for a moment
that she made him hesitate. The next
he shook himself free.
"Well, come" he said.
She felt that ali doors would fly
open at his bidding. She felt herself
swept powerless at his will with all
the yielding in her soul that she had
felt in her body when his arms were
around her. He had taken her by the
hand-he was leading her out into the
gusty night, where all lights flared-
the gas-lights marching up the street
over the hill into the unknown, and
the lights cleaning at. her, like eyes

gaped for her. The will that had
\ swept her out of the door was moving
her beyond her own will, as 1t had
moved her that morning in the gar
den. beyond all things that she knew
There was no feeling left in her but
the despair of extreme surrender.

start up again-heaven knew where,
perhaps at her very carriage window.
Her unconscious hand was doubled to
fist upon her breast, fast closed
upon the sapphire.
With all her body braced, she
leaned and looked far backward, and
far forward, and now for long time
saw nothing. The distance was empty.
The glare of arc-lights showed her
the shadows of her own progress
the shadow Of her vehicle shooting
huge and misshapen now on the cob
bles, now along blank wall, wheels,
body and driver, all lurching like one; ;
now heaped on each other, now tenu-
ously drawn out, now twisting them
selves into shapes the mind could not
account for. For here, whirling the
corner, the carriage seemed to wave an
arm and now between the wheels, fast
twinkling, she saw pair Of legs. She
leaned and looked, so mesmerized with
this grotesque appearance that 1t
down the last long hill she knew 1t
rAist be that a man was running at
her wheel.
The warm lights of her house were
Just before her, Offering succor, stiff
fening courage. 1t would be but a
dash from the door of the cab to
her own door There was no second
course, once the cab stopped. She felt
that to lurk In its gloom would mean
robbery. perhaps death. She thought
without fear but with an intense cal
culation. Her hand held the door at
swing as the cab drew up. Before It
should stop she must leap. She gath
cred her skirts and sprang--sprang
,, clean to the sidewalk. The steps of
her house rushed by her in her up
ward fight. Her bell pealed. She
covered her eyes. II
For the moment before Shima
opened the door there was nothing
but darkness and silence. She had
never been so glad of anything in her
life as Of the kind, astute, yellow
face he presented to her distressed ap.
peal.
"Shima." she painted, pay the cab !;
and II there's any one else there say
that I'll call the police-no, no, send
him away" There was no question or
hesitation in Shima's obedience
Through the glass of the door she
watched him descend upon his errand,
until he disappeared over the edge of
the illumination of the vestibule She
waited, dimly aware of voices going
on, beyond the curtains of the drawing
room, but all her listening power was
concentrated on the silence without
silence that remained unbroken, and
out of which Shima returned with the
same imperturbable countenance.
"He wants ten dollars"

Now she gasped again. "Oh, the
cabman! But the other one." For
an instant Shima seemed to hesitate
glancing past her shoulder as If there
, was something that he doubted be-
hind her. Then as she still hung on
his answer he brought it out in q
lowered voice.
