Attention of Messrs. Roberts, Cole,

Dear Sirs:
Confirming our composite telephone talk
with Mr.. Walker. it is with great pleas
ure we report a subscription which totals
at this writing slh2.700.
We had a large and somewhat hilarious
meeting this afternoon on the roof gar
4
sum booked before the meeting opened
There were a few snappy speeches and
then the subscriptions came almost faster
than we could rocord them, so that the
stipulated amount was soon raised. We
enclose a list OF subscribers with
amounts herewith
There are probably many more Bur
iington people who will wish to get in
and while they may not subscribe for the
entire remaining $4,000 we think it ad-
visable not to place this stock elsewhere
until they have been given reasonable
time to take II up. We hope you VIII
agree with MS in this.
We are congratulat.ng ourselves that
we have secured for our city this indus
try. and the interest in us of men of the
ulate you on the quick action you in
spired in us. With kind regards to you
all.
Sincerely yours.

on the new factory would commence with
in ten days. The company has secured an
option on L-acre site, south of the
Champlain school building. and bounded
by Park street and the Rutland railroad

ming, as we sat in our rooms, Doctor
Emmanuel outlined to me his plan.
1T is a desperate chance" he said,
"and I confess I am not altogether
sanguine of success. But it is worth
trying. I fancy that the main trouble
with Lady Sibyl is that she is an ideal
list; she knows nothing of life, with it's
crudeness, its cruelties, its passions.
She has always lived in the exalted
region of the intellect. II she could
see this Axel as an Infatuated savage
l think the shock would produce an
intense reaction. Now l have been
to his meetings, for the psychology
OF conversion has a great attraction
for me-. He is a magnetic speaker,
one who is what we call carried
away When he breaches he is &C.
tually self-hypnotized. He says that
he speaks as the spirit directs him,
and I have not the slightest doubt
that he is, at such moments, largely
dominated by his former self-or role,
rather, for the self does not change.
Do you know the Kensington Taber-
nacle?"
NO." I answered.
1T is a large room, fitted up for
meetings Of a religious or secular
character. It occupies the central
portion of the building, and radiating
out of it are numerous smaller rooms,
which are also rented for the night
to scientific and learned societies
which hold their regular meetings
there. Now here is my plan: If we
can rent one of these rooms and make
it the setting for our drama, and
bring Axel in there while he is still
under the emotional influence of his
sermon, self-hypnotized, that is to
say, it is possible that we may cap
ture the elusive Hajid, bring him to
the surface, and so display the real
man to Lady Sibyl."
"There wasn't much p~eacefulness in
Hajid," I said.

there's more to come. I have been

that, when we were in Athens togeth-
