A Discussion of Spiritualism

remain questionable, because the in
quirer cannot enter into the mind
of the believer and test the foun-
dations OF The belief. The testi-
mony OF Sir Isaac Newton in sup
port OF the law OF gravitation
would have been worthless IL he
has not indicated proofs which
thousands OF other men could i'm
mediately put to the test OF expert
ment.
The extreme care with which
scientific processes Of investigation
are guarded against lurking error
is shown by the fact that the
scientist never accepts the evidence
of one sense alone If he can in any
way test ii by that Of another sense.
The usual proceedings OF the
spiritualists are not characterized
by any such caution. To judge by
what have myself observed at
spiritual seances, the chief anxiety
Of the Operators" is to prevent
any tests being applied whereby
the deception OF one sense-say
that Of sight-may be detected by
the aid OF another sense, either of
touch or hearing.
And, strangely enough, even mem
The Washington times., 1919-06-23

bers OF the circle OF sitters, who
are manifestIN being imposed upon,
often resent assuggestion to test the
accuracy of their sense perceptions.
Absolutely lacking in critical quail
ity, they swallow every bait pre-
scented to their duped senses.
1 have said that science refuses
to rest its conclusions on testimony,
but I have not specially named the
reason. 1t is because testimony Is
not fundamental proof. 1t is only
proof Of the belief OF the person
furnishing the testimony. Only
when it brings forward expert
mental verification of its own basis
does testimony become proof. a
court of law generally rests its de-
cisions on testimony, and is content
il the witness evidently tells what
he believes to be the truth. The
court Of science demands proof that
the belief itself is sound.
AS to the religious aspect OF
spiritualism, think that the great
recognized theological bodies or
systems look askant at il, or reject
il entirely. PhilOsophically 1t
seems to me to belittle fearfully
the future existence Of the soul.

= TAD David DeLaine been in love
RI with Desiree's maid - as
= = Samuel Leighton had suggest
ed-he could hardly have been more
perturbed in mind than he was as
he drove the car back 10 the "arage
after parting from his employer.
He had escaped Miss Bristors
recognition. But now that that
danger was past, David had time TO
reflect on the uncomfortable COM
plicstions that had arisen through
the methods he had used to avoid
detection.
In the first place, he had incurred
Mr.. Leighton's displeasure. That
was unfortunate, but not serious
for courtesy and care in the future
might obliterate the disagreeable
impression produced upon the older
man
What troubled David more was
that he had seemed to take Norah
into his confidence and to receive
a favor from her-thus putting him
20 a certain extent under obliga-
tions to her. Since the girl had
laid herself open to reproof by her
desire to keep him out Of a scrape
it would be churlish to shun her
in the future.
David was not vain, yet the most
modest of men could not have failed
to detect that the maid admired
him. or was trying TO make him
like her. She had probably mis-
taken his polite speech, and regret
at the reprimand she was likely to
receive, for a liking which he did
not feel
So Norah was q new complication
just now.
But greater than the perplexity
caused by both Of these factors was
his chagTin when he recalled that
Desiree Leighton had seen him and
Norah standing close together on
the sidewalk, chatting confidential
". The tone OF Miss Leighton's
voice had Attested to her strong dis
approval Of the situation and to her
suspicious that he and the maid
were carrying on a clandestine af-
fair. His blood boiled at the idea
Yet he argued with himself. why
should he have such a sensation Of
modification? He knew that his
action had been entirely honorable
Cassidy, his predecessor, might
have nirted with or made love to
Eny one Of the maids in the Leigh
ton household without transgress-
iRg some law OF propriety.
Not Very Soothing.
This reflection did not soothe
David; for, even though he tried
20 behave as II he were in the same
class as Cassidy, he could not for
get that he was not.
He, David LeLaine. might have
been Desiree Leighton's sutton; and
she, who had been the friend and
gnest Of his aunt, now thought Of
him az the lover Of her maid
That, he told himself feroely,
vas what ranked. Yet why need he
care what Miss Leighton thought?
He was nothing to her nor she
anything to him
He reiterated that last part Of
this assertion so often that, had he
been a psychologist, he might have
doubted his own belief in it. Too
vehement protestations may prove

that one is not quite sure Of the
truth nc processes.
So absorbed was David in self-ex-
planatiohs that he saw too late
taXicab swing around the corner
just ahead OF him. The driver
careless or drunk-swerved sudden
ly to one side, but not quickly
enough TO avoid a collision with the
mud-guard of the Leighton limou-
sine. There was a severe impact,
and the guard crumpled up like a
bit of Dashboard. There was also a
sound of crashing glass as the left
hand headlight struck the cab.
There ensued some commotion
and alteration. The cab driver
whose fault the accident had been
was loud in his imprecations. David
was more quiet and, after giving
his name and address to a police
man-who, however, eXonerated him
from blame-drove his car slowly
to the garage.
Another chance to get in wrongw
he unused gloomily. This has
surely been my unlucky night.
And I am to call Miss Leighton up
in the morning for orders. When 1
do 1 will have to inform her that
the Limousine is at the repair shop.
Sweet for mev
He arose early next day and left
the limousine at the shop at which
Mr.. Leighton had his repairs done.
Then he returned to the garage to
make sure that the smaller cara
handsome runabout-was all ready
for use He had used this smaller
car on several occasions when he
had driven his employer down to
the office or had brought him home.

THE LOVE GAMBLER AS Clever s Story by
David Resens the Thought Evidently Held by Desiree
Leighton That He Is Carrying On
Affair With NOrah

Miss Leighton had never been in It
since he had been driving for her.
But she must ride in it today.
He told her as much when he tel
ephoned at Q o'clock for his orders.
81 am sorry" he explained. that
I had an accident last night with
the limousine"
oh" she calculated impulsively,
"were you hurt I mean"-cor-
recting herself quickly-"was much
damage done? And how did it hap
pen?"
The car is not badly injured" he
replied, ignoring her involuntary
inquiry about himself. THE mud
guard is bent, and the glass of one
light is broken. It will be in good
condition again by night. so it can
be used tomorrow"
How did the accident happen?"
He tried to tell her.
But why did you not see or hear
the taxi sooner?" she interrupted.
why weren't you more careful?"
81 am afraid" he confessed con-
tritely, that my thoughts were
wandering. The street was almost
empty. and I got to thinking was
of my guard
Again she interrupted. 81 under,
stand! 1 suppose 1 should not be
surprised"
81 beg your pardon" he ex-
claimed interorgatively, not COM
pretending.
Never mind" she said brusquely.
Il must go down town, so will have
to use the runabout. I hate ii, but
it can't be helped. Be here at

And pretty soon all three came
to a little house where Puss was
invited to come in and play. There
was a nice swing under an old ap-
pie tree, and soon he was swing
ing as high as the little girl could
push him. All of a sudden, he
umped out up among the branches
and hung on to a limb, just like a
trapeze performer.

Puss. And then he slid down the
rope and turned a somersault on
the ground.
And just then the little boys came
in the gate and how they did

the marbles which he had won and

the porch watching the fun. gave a
dollar. After that, they all went in
for lunch and Puss didn't start out
on his journey until late in the aft

'SThe Ambitious Woman In
BusineSG.7

A N English writer once de-
"A clared that most girls 90
\ into business as once on q
time they went to church-in order
to meet many eligible young men"
1 hope American girls don't take
this theory seriously-or they are
due for great disappointment.
When will men-and home women
eliminate the notion that the bust
ness office containing one or more
men and women is a perpetual fir
tation ground? Hasn't the over
worked man-in-love-with- his-sten-
ographer bugaboo been decently
buried in its grave yet?
As a matter Of fact, 90 per cent
OF all the incest business men you
know feel no more personal rela-
tionship toward their women en-
ployes than to their business ma
chinery. They have no more emo
ton about their stenographeFs than
about the typewriters they operate.
Which does not mean, however,
that these business girls do not re-
ceive perfect courtesy at their
hands.
1t is simply that men are used
to seeing women-and very attrac-
tive women--about them during
business hours, as part OF the bust
ness equipment. Social intercourse
during business hours is the rare
exception, and by no means the
practice, no matter how kindly the
attitude OF employer and employe.
No doubt there are many mex
perienced or immature young
women minus any abilities or am
bition outside OF matrimonial
goal. but whose masculine circle is
limited, and who, therefore, be-
lieve that a venture into the mans
world OF business will bring them
the contact they seek.
Grievously. alas. will many such
be disc ppointed. The kind OF bust
ness office that a self-respectlng
