The doctor smiled significantly and
seemed about to answer, but changed
his mind.
"Weil then, if OFarrell wsss Maximi-

interjected.

doctor.

Tarrant, it is only in the case of IN

Unnecessary" replied the doctor
tersely. Persons of the neurasthenic
temperament are already hypnotized;
that is to say there always exists in
them a more or less complete inhibi-
ton of certain sensory faculties which,
artifcially produced. is called hypno-
sis. But even then, only in the rarest
cases does enough of the old person

"How can l see herr"
"Why, curiously enough, Mary and
her mother are coming here to dine

1T is to be, in sense, farewell visit,

after that I do not think that we shall
ever set eyes on her again."

81 am going to close the door, Miss
Rothway," he said. But you will not
mind. You will not mind?" The last
sentence was a question, but the f1S5t
was command.
NO." she replied, quite placfdly, II
shall not mind. Of course, Doctor I'M
manuel" -
And we went out and. as we reached
the library door, we found O'Farrell
waiting for us. He had come In at the
precise moment when he should have
arrived. 1t seemed as though fate were
playing into ImmanuePs hands. But
CFarrell greeted us with an unmis-
taxable scowl. It was evident that he
was in no mood for hearing any more
upon the subject of the reincarnation
theory.
But Doctor Emmanuel did not ride
his hobby that evening. Instead he
joined the group around the pleasant
fireplace and proved himself as lively
an entertainer as could well be imag-
ined. He talked of his work, of his
country. of the condition of Greece to-
day in comparison with her state at
the epoch of her past splendors, and
so led up the conversation insensibly
to Greek and Roman art.
"By the way, Mr.. O'Farrell," he said
presently, have you ever noticed the
singular resemblance between your
self and the statue of Maximius in Mr..
Tarrant's galleryT
Indeed have" answered the cap
tain, laughing, Il presume that that
chap was an earlier incarnation of nv
own" He had, in fact, not only recoy-
cred his good humor under the doc
tors skillful handling, but had become
almost boisterously good-tempered and
boyish.
"All the same" said Doctor In

the plan; only they must keep the
door closed and not let the sound of
their voices reach us below here"
Then" said Emmanuel, you may
l1ave the rest to me-"
On the following Friday evening we
dined with the Tarrants and their two
women guests. Mrs. Rothway was a
charming woman of a rather old-fash-
Toned type, little worldly, and frank
ly sorry at her daughters choice
Mary, however, attracted our attention
at once and held it during most of the
dinner. She was tall. statuesque
brunette, of =. striking beauty, and
could we'll imagine how, in the garb of
vestal virgin or a Roman matron,
she would present completely the illu-
sion of having stepped out of the gal
leries of history into the world of to-
day. She was witty, too, and seemed
to be in gracious and friendly mood.
| saw here no trace of the neurasthenic
at least, not until we rose to go up
stairs to the drawing room, and, when
we entered the rather dim passage,
Mary shrank back suddenly and
clutched at the jamb of the door. Doc
tor Emmanuel cast significant glance
at me, and then, without a word of
explanation, he placed his hand gently
upon the girls arm and, with a slight
but unmistakable gesture of command,
he led her to the stairway. Once
there, Mary Rothway seemed to recov-
er her self-possession; she withdrew
her arm from the doctors grasp and,
with quiet dignity, she assembled in the
wake of her mother.
Nov, Mrs. Rothway." said Tarrant,
when we were seated, Il shall have to
ask your very kind indulgence, and
Miss Mary's also, for about an hour.
These gentlemen and / have a most
important engagement-one, I need
hardly say, which occurred at the last
moment and is absolutely unavoidable.
May we be forgiven IL we leave you
for an hour?"
Accord was graciously given. saw
Mary Rothway glance nervously at
Doctor Emmanuel as he approached
the door, the last Of the party. He
saw the glance and rightly interpreted
it. Mary was afraid that he would
shut the door. And it was indispens-
able that the door should be closed,
lest OFarrell's very hearty tones
should reach her ears.
Doctor Emmanuel turned back and
placed his hand upon her forehead, so
quietly, in so professional a manner,
that, she seemed at once to meet him
in the relation of patient to doctor.
