His pathetic eagerness, his sem
sitive loyalty-even his sudden
and solicitious zest in the pious
fraud oposed-made between
them an irresistible appeal. Dollar
had to think; the rooms upstairs
were not empty; but none en-
shrined a more interesting case
than this sounded.
On the other hand, he had to
be on his guard against a weak
ness for mere human interest, as
apart from the esoterio principles
of his practice. People might call
him an empiric-empiric he was
proud to be, but 1t was and must
remain empiricism in one def
mite direction only. Psychical re-
search was not for him-and the
Dysone story had psychic flavor.
In the end he said quite blunt
