 Prentice had said to fsim, 'fYou have g. strong psychic. . strong hypnot1c ability" It was consequent to that statement that the Justice had sent him the second book of instruction and cAutfon.'
 BroolEneld read the book in the con- centrated intensity of a. blOw-dame- read and reread 1t. It's author differ ed with all those of his contemporar- ies who held that there was nothing in hypnotism but suggested. and quot ed in his support the agreement of those authors themselves that between tke hypnotist and his subject there existed for an indefaaate time after the hypnosis Q. strong rapport. What was this unison of vibration between the two but an invasion of the sub- conscious field of the subject and a permanent seizure of part Of that ter ritory? Was there anything but an as sumption, was there sufficient evidence to show that this rapport which seem ed to persfat through fifO ceased wsth the death of AithAr?
 1t was under the discussion or tnls inquiry that the author introduced the ethical considerations to which Jus tice Prentice had called his attention This presentation made m tndeliole impression upon BrookheId, not 50 much because of the dire consequences which 1t outlined as by the anthor's explanation of a vfbratory agreement between two minds-tle dynamic a91- tation of the communicating either by one mind and it's registratton by the other mind. The figure fitted in and confirmed all that Broolxdeld had al- ready worked out for himself
 Brookfeld's family physician. pr. Monroe, was a. fad homoeopathlst- that is to say. Monroe was 4high- obtains the ordinary homeopathic dose. already indnitesimal. and dilutes it maybe ten thomand times. There is no instrument in the universe except the human eJibconscfous mind delicate enough to detect the presence of drug in 8 hieh-potency pellet-no re- to It's action. A -potency homoe- opsthist is a. skilled diagnostfcian practising suggestive therapeutics in 8 blindfold. Now and then one of them lays aside the blindfoId and joyously but secretly, with blank powder. adopts in functional disorders the art laid aside the blindfold, but he was peeping.
 A wise physician who would not dare to confess to his pastor that he tn- dulged in beneficent deceit at three dollars a deception could find encour- aging sympathy in the heart of the intelligent owner of a. roulette.wheel to Brookdeld; and in Brookfeids pres ent psychological study of Clay's case pr. Monroe had been his guide.
 Together Brookfield and the doctor dissected the new book. The doctor had, certain patients in whom he was sure he had occasionally induced a slight hypnosis. The features of their their cures. The doctor agreed with the reported opinion of the Justice that Broolkfleld was possessed of con- siderable magnetic power.
 One night the two men had sat fair- ly late in Brookdeld's library browsing rather than surveying the fascinating field they had partially expllred m intrud&d to solicit the doctors minis trations. Jo was flow in his mind;. it transpdred also This food didn't seem to strengthen him none" Yet pulse, respiration, and temperature were normal: Jos tongue was as clean inquiry developed the fact that a re- cent addition to Jos circle of acquaizi- tance was a young colored man from Louisiana, a person of aggressive anativeness and notably of winsome qualities with the opposite sex. Even Joes own girl was taking huttering notice of the new arrival. Some said that the young man was a d0ctors E son himself and could cast a spell. He and 10 had come to words over the girl. 10 couldn't recall the exact threat indul3ed in but 1t had been to the ef- feet that 10 had "better look out" Jo dated the most alarming of his symp- toms from that evening. The doctor and Brookheld looked at each other seriously.
 If this is q spell. Mir. BrooisAAld," " said the doctor. "and see no other explanation of it, think it is case where your faculties are more clear ly needed than mine. You are man constantly favored by fortune, the powers are with you, and think you could do something for Joe"
 What do you think, Jo?" Brookdeld asked the boy.
 well, Marse Jack. if am hoodooed I'd bet your luck agin any nlgger II you'd help me-
 Jack patted the boy comfortingly on his resilient kinks. patted him with that strong hand which subtly emit ted reassurance to dog or horse or man. In accordance with his reading and his previous casual instruction from the doctor, Jack seated the boy In an easy chair, his head at rest. his han6s lying comfortably in his lap Jos attention was directed in turn to each part of his body, and complete induced. Brookfield than stroked him geneIy over the eyes. and brought his own hands down over shoulders, arms and limbs, though not In actual contact. An easy smile flt- tered at the corners of Jos ample a. gentle pricking came into feet and fingers. He heard Brookfeld, Ear away, say in a tone like the bass note on the chapel melodeon. "You may close your eyes, Jo."
 The eyeiids of the negro boy closed down with leaden slowness-his deepened-he seemed to sleep.
 Brook1eId looked at the doctor-the doctor lifted his hand, prompting Brookf1eld in the experiment. Brook field placed his own hand some inches over Jos and moved it slowly to one side. The boys hand followed. Broolkfteld replaced it by the same method. When BrookneiGs neac svns inclined to either side Jos head moved with it.
