an urgent request for the property

state on other occasions when she
was getting acquainted with some new
control" Sometimes her friends
from spirit land remain only for a
few moments and 1t is Chrys' custom
to exploit them while they last. 1
had seen her thus absorbed several
times. but l had never before seen
her possessed" by ghostly influences.
Certeis, too, had taken note of her
condition. His eyebrows drew together
in a professional frown such as I
saw him wear when Daddy's paralysis
WAS at its worst.
l followed his quick glance at
Eloise. She was absorbed, too, but
not SO much in the mystery Of the
thing, it seemed to me, as in the me-
chanical dIIuculties involved in SPELL
ing out the English words. Her Eng
lish speech is excellent when she is
not excited.
This control refuses to make her
identity known" Chrys announced
suddenly. she says that she lived
many years in France, that she loves
the French and desires to serve them.
But she will not say why she was in
France, nor when. She insists that
such items are unimportant"
Maybe she's peeved," / suggested
Maybe she thinks we ought to know
all about her illustrious self. Spanish
queens are not SO common In France,
you know. Once l discovered two of
'em when 1 was helping my father
outline some history for his classes
/ remember that an isabella and /,
Maria Christina both had to abandon
their land for its own good. Isabella
lived in Paris for almost one-third or
the last century. Oh. don't let me
bore YOU ! added in haste for DR.

Certeis was showing symptoms OF
restlessness.
1t was the first time had ever seen
him i'll at ease. l couldn't determine
whether he was especially annoyed
by the distinguished ghost or whether
he had merely decided to abandon
Chrys to her folly.
"A pair of queens?" asked Daddy
who was in mood to guy us all.
Amy choice in 'em, Jane?"
Maybe you wouldn't want to meet
either of 'em, Daddy. History refers
to one of 'em as a lady of 'thinly dis
guised immoralities', l ratified on
rashIy. "And the other was most un-
popular in Madrid on account of her
personal vices"
Evidently this is no place for me, -
Daddy exclaimed and as he turned on
his heel to leave us, he waved a
fleppy hand toward Chrys murmuring
"by-by'' as IL to q baby. Soon We
heard his great organ pealing OUT
Chopin's Funeral March and during
all the rest of the seance he kept feed
ing that organ with the most mourn
full rolls in his cabinets.
But neither his departure nor his
rival entertainment disturbed Chrys.
Listen" she commanded. The con-
troll insists that she has an important
message which she must deliver TO
c. Now isn't that simply wonder
tul?"
Wonderful is a favorite word with
Chrys as 1t is with most successful
ouija board operators. i think she
can hypnotic herself with that one
word.
At this renewed threat of a message
from the land of wraiths. Certeis
would have fed but / called out to
him:
