The AbandonedR0ona
BY Wadsworth Camp

You've read of them, il you read at
all. India is full of it. 1t goes back
to ancient Egypt-the same person
simultaneously in two place@the
astral body-whatever you choose to
call it. It's the projection of ones
self whether consciously or I'M
consciously; perhaps the projection
OF something that retains reason at
ter an apparent death. You heard
him. He didn't seem to walk. He
doesn't remember leaving the room,
which was locked on the inside, His
descent OF the stairs was without
motion as we know it. He had gone
some distance before his mind con-
sciously directed the movement of
this active image of Silas Blackburn.
while the double from which it had
sprung lay apparently dead in the
old room. You notice he shrank
from shaking hands, and he slept
until we hid away the she'll. What
disintegration and coming together
again has take nplace since we bur-
ed that she'll in the old graveyard?
If his friend had shaken hands with
him would he have grasped empti-
ness' Did his normal self come
back to him when the she'll was put
from our sight and he awakened?
These are some of the questions we
must answer
you've a fine imagination, Mr..
P2redes,' Robinson said dryly.
His fat face, nevertheless, was be-
wildered, and in the eyes, surround
ed by puffy flesh, smouldered pro-
found uncertainty.
Il wish Groom were here" Par
edes was saying. "He would agree
with me. He would know more
about it thanlI"
Robinson threw back his should
ers. He turned to Rawlins with his
old authority. The unimaginative de-
tective had stood throughout, releas-
ing no indication of his emotions;
but as he raised his hand now to an
unnecessary adjustment of his scarf
pin, the fingers >were not quite
steady.
Telephone this man Waters"
Robinson directed. Then get in
communication with the office and
put them on that end" I
Rawlins walked away. Robinson
apologized to Silas Blackburn with
an uneasy voice.
Got to check up what I can. Can't
get anywhere with these things I'M
less you make sure of your first
facts. | daresay Waters story will
tally with yours"
Blackburn nodded. Ora h m
cleared his throat.
Nov perhaps we may ask that
yer yimportant question. The day
Mrh Blackburn called at your office
in Smithtown he told Howells he
was afraid of being murdered. Ac-
cording to Howels, he said: My
hearts all right. 1t won't stop yet
awhile unless it's made to. So if
I'm found cold some fine morning
you can be sure l was put out of the
way"
Il KNOW Robinson said.
"And that night" Graham contin-
ued, when he went to the old
room, he was terrified of something
which he wouldn't define for Miss
Perrine."
"He warned me not to mention
he'd gone there" Katherine put in.
HE told me he was afraid-afraid
to sleep in his own room any long
err"
Robinson turned.
What about that, Mr.. Black
burn?"
For a moment Bobby's curiosity
evercame the confusion aroused by
his grandfather's apparently occult
return, All along they had craved
