Clough took his seat and Emmanuel
went to a chest and brought back

OF glass ball, suspended from a chain.
The chain terminated in a common
corded wire and socket, which he at
tached to the electric light fixture.
He turned the switch and instantly
the ball began revolving with tremen-
dous rapidity.

Emmanuel drew nearer and held the
ball within a few inches of his fore
head.
Don't take your eyes on it," he said
soothingly. Now, do you notice how
sleepy you are growing? That is the
first stage You will be asleep in a

You cannot keep your eyes open any

Coughs eyes closed. He did not
move.

Doctor. Your mind is active but
your senses are in allegiance. You
can neither see, hear, taste, smell. nor
touch. And yet you understand me
perfectly. Now you are sleeping pro-
foundly."
The figure grew rigid i'll the chair.

the fixture, having snapped off the
switch. Leisurely he crossed the
room and put the mechanism away.

Gabelle tartly. Tarrant glanced at
her indignantly, but the Doctor only
smiled indulgently.

Yes. see her" he answered.
But you do not see all of her.

Her soul is missing"
Where is it, them" Emmanuel
asked
Wauwatosa news. [volume] (Wauwatosa, Wis.) 1900-1948, 1917-03-23

But, looked at in another, 1t is a mod
ern miracle. Emmanuel gave me his
version the next day, when | called TO
question him and found Tarrant al
ready there.
Ny explanation is" said the Doc
tor, that the one was all soul and
the other an body. And Clough, by
reason of his great love for her, did
what Orpheus is tabled to have done
for Edrydice; he went down into hell
and found her again. You know, those
myths all have some psychological
meaning. l imagine that he got TO
that region where all souls are merged
in the world-soul, which We call God,
and that there he gave her, what she
lacked, out Of his superfuity. That's
all; as you know, it got beyond my
control"
or" hazarded Tarrant, perhaps
the power of imagination stirred her
better nature into activity
IF You prefer to put it that way"
replied the Doctor.
And they we're married, of course,
and lived together with mutual devo-
ton. As Tarrant says. Nature knows
her own purposes and usually man
