He laid aside his fountain pen. Idly he
ran his fingers through the diary's pages
as II searching for an earlier entry.
Presently on the first page he found
what ne sought. Half aloud he read:
Dec. 8, 1s1-At last my life work
is crowned with success. All my former
benefits to humanity will be as nothing
to this. Today I have made the nnal
test on the drug of my own compound
ing that will revolutionize all mankind.
and i have discovered the only safe pro-
cess for administering 1t. The formula
for this drug will be found in my strong
box in case OF my death. Also a sketch
of the apparatus for its electrical Crans-
mission into the human system.
This compound of mine upbuilds the
mind and stimulates the will; to the
point of turning q mediocre intelligence
into sublime genius. I believe can
administer it to half-witted illiterate
and transform him into Shakespeare,
Napoleon or a Washington. No life
long training and hereditary gifts of
mind can make every faculty SO alert
and potent as can this drug I have
evolved.

ment, but merely that it was a new cleo

benefit the several ills Of which they had
complained to me.
Il tried the experiment on the four
(the technical result will be found with
the formula in my strong box) and the
success went far beyond my widest
hopes. Their reaction was wonderful to
note. All of the four frightened at once

seemed like members of a new and vastly
superior race of men.
