the very existence of matter had been

How could one argue with such a
man? then asserted the reasonable
ness of all that is. To this he agreed,
reserving, however, one exception. He
looked at me, as he said it, in way I
could not mistake. The inference was
obvious. That he should be guilty of so
cheap a quip in the midst of a serious
discussion, astounded me.

and found him again in the chair. This
is the first time he has dared do this
in my presence. Nevertheless, by look
ing at him steadily and sternly for sew
eral minutes, | compelled him to van
ish. This proves my contention. He
does not exist. If he were an eternal
form could not make him vanish by a
mere effort of my will.
This is getting damnable. Today I
gazed at him for an entire hour before l
could make him move. Yet it is so sim
pie. What | see is a memory picture.
For twenty years l was accustomed to

Query: He is product of my con-
sciousness; is it possible, then, that en-
titles may be created by consciousness
We did not quarrel To this day do
not know how it happened. Let me tell
you. Then you will see. We sat up

We were so happy together. He had
a remarkable mind, most remarkable
mind, so firmly founded, so widely in
formed, so rigidly logical, that it was
not at all strange that we agreed in all
things. Dissension was unknown be-
tween US. Jim was the most truthful
man l have ever met. In this, too, We
were similar, as we were similar in our
intellectual honesty. We never saeri-
feed truth to make point. We had
no points to make, we so thoroughly
agreed. 1t is absurd to think that we

1t is getting unbearable. He is a jack
in-the-box, the way he pops into the
chair. He does not assume form slowly.
He pops. That is the only way to de-
scribe it. I cannot stand looking at him
much more. That way lies madness, for
it compels me almost to believe in the
reality of what | know is not. Besides,
hallucinations do not pop.

1t is uncomfortable to sleep in chair.
But it is more uncomfortable to lie in
bed, hour after hour, and not sleep, and
to know that he is sitting there in the
cold darkness.

They say he was murdered. They
also say murder will out. Then l say,
why does not his murder come out ?
Who did it? Where is hes Where is

CHAPTER V.
A Sunday Morning Call.

As a boy, Arthur Lanstron had per
sisted in being an exception to the in
huences Of both heredity and environ
ment Though his father and both
grandfathers were officers who be
lieved theirs to be the true gentle
mans profession, he had preferred
any kind of mechanical toy to arrang
ing the most gayly painted tin sol
diers In formation on the nursery
floor; and he would rather read about
the wonders OF natural history and
electricity than the campaigns of Ma
poleon and Frederick the Great and
my Lord Nelson. Left to his own
choice, he would miss the parade OF
the garrison for inspection by an ex.
cellency in order to ask questions OF
a man wiping the oil off his hands with
cotton-waste, who was far more enter.
tanning to him than the most spick-and.
span ramrod of sergeant.
Upon being told one day that he was
to go to the military school the follow.
ing autumn, he broke out in open re.
bellion.
II don't want to go to the armyI" he
said.
"Why7" asked his father, thinking
that when the boy had to give his rea.
sons he would soon be argued out of
the heresy.
It's drilling a few hours day, then
nothing to do," Arthur replied. "All
your work waits on war and you don't
know that there will ever be any war.
1t waits on something nobody wants
to happen. Now, II you manufacture
something, why, you see wool come
out cloth, steel come out an automo-
bile. II you build a bridge you see 1t
rising little by little. You're getting
your results every day; you see your
