OF their Jointly owned mines.
On this steamer q theft of son..
beautiful gems had occurred, and Dual
had recovered them in his own pecul-
lar way. This was In the week be-
fore.
IL prefer to call him a modern
metaphysician, however, Connie" !
said. Magician is hardly the word,
because, after all, Semi uses only
natural forces in gaining his results.
In fact, he says there is no such thing
as supernatural force, but that
what we so regard are but higher
manifestations of natural law. !
honestly believe that Dual knows
more about the subliminal self, sub
conscious analysis, chirography, as
trology. telepathy. suggestion, and
pure psychism than any other living
man."
Connie moved slightly.
what a fearful power a man like
that could WELD IL he wished" she
murmured.
Either for good or evil" l follow
ed the suggested thought. But Dual
only uses II for good. Connie, l tell
you, he Is the most wonderful person
] ever knew. With the ability to do
anything he wishes, he uses his
mighty power only to help others.
There are times when>I have actually
felt sense of generation for him. i
have sat in his presence when seem
ed to sense something beyond the
mere man-life, as though he were al
most godlike In his calm defense of
right and Justice"
My wife's hand fell on my own.
Don't" she whispered. you
make me feel strange. Little as !
know him, have felt that same thing
in his presence. He has done some
wonderful things of which you have
told me. He sent you to Goldfield
once to find a man nobody knew was
alive, do you remember"
smiled. Rather. 1t was there
met a girl Dual and / afterwards
went half around the world to save
from danger"
alice Parton" said Connie.
"Nee Sheldon" l amended. "She
was single at that time, the daughter
of old Colonel McDonahue Sheldon,
who had succeeded in getting his
brother mixed up in a bad mess
through trying to put over stock
deal l want you to meet them when
we get to Goldfield. The colonel is a
character, believe me-"
What you'd call crooked isn't
he?" said Connie.
l chuckled. Il don't know" I told
her. 1.-The fact of the matter Is,
like him. He's very nervy old goat,
and when Dual pinned him down, he
stood the gait like a soldier-never
whimpered, and offered to pay or
stand the shot in any way. Said he'o
had enough of the devious path, and
was going to stick to the straight and
narrow. | don't know IL you can call
a man like that crooked or not. !
know he's run straight ever since, and
he certainly loves his girl and her
baby?
HAS Alice baby?" Connie sat
up and took immediate interest.
Girl" / responded. Dual is its
godfather as it happens"
Connie smiled softly
Il shall like to meet them" she de-
cided. 1T won't seem like meeting
strangers, but more like old friends,
because / know their stories and they
know you and Mr., Dual. / think 1t
will be awfully jolly"
She glanced into the car behind her
and back to me.
What do you suppose he Is doing?
What was 1t that happened back
there on the PLATFORM" she asked.
Dual sensed something subcon-
sciously," l ventured. II have known
him to do it again and again. The
first time I ever met him, you know,
he sensed a murder and Smithson's
desire for my presence. At another
time he sent me on another similar
case. He can sense etheric waves
which are imperceptible to us of les
ser evolution, though at times we un-
consciously do the same thing. The
difference is that Dual does 1t con-
sciously and at will"
"Just as at times when you were
thinking Of me or coming to me !
have felt it," said Connie.
Exactly, Hon. You and l felt 1t
in vague way. Dual feels 1t in a
perfectly conscious manner, just as he
senses the meaning of any occur
renee. That is telepathy, so called
1t is nothing but the ability to allow
the subtle vibrations of thought
waves to influence our subconscious
minds and then translate their mean
ing into the objective plane of
thought"
THAT, then, is what he meant by
saying he could read them IL he
elected?" said Connie. And then he
said he wanted to occupy our state
room instead of his section. Gordon,
what do you suppose he is finding?
1t makes me shivery clear down to
my toes. You remember he said he
read that mans thoughts on the boat.
What do you suppose this will be?"
Heaven knows l answered. "If
Dual wishes he will tell us. Probably
