III. ANALYSIS.

1
Love worried Philip Fosdick with re-
lentless importantly, whether he were
behind the desk in his consultation
room, doing his best to give his best to
those unf0rtunates who sought him
out to lay open distressed hearts and
bespeak his sympathy and healing
counsel, or whether he sat in solitude
cudgeling his wits for insight into the
mystery that Swallowed the happiness
Of the woman he loved.
The problem Knocked his shrewdest
efforts. Practice and study, personal
contact and observation together with
close examination Of cases recorded
| by others, had long since made him, as
he believed, familiar with every phase
of psychosis, hysteria and neurosis, as
well as with these psychic phenomena
which will at times develop In per-
sons of seemingly normal idiosyncrasy,
from simple dreaming to somnambu-
lism in all its guises, with halucna-
ton, trance, ecstasy, telepathy and
telaesthesia and the various forms of
hypnosis.
However nearly akin they might be
to more than one of these, what Eos
dick for want of a better name contin-
ued with Priscilla to term her
dreams persisted In defying classifi-
cation by virtue of perverse sort of
int in CT r1nfnItitxy Vow To-,
no sense true dreams, having none of
the features peculiar to those fantastic
inventions of the mind uncensored by
waking consciousness, They were ut
terly without traceable relation to any
thing In the memory of the subject
or her personal circumstances and en-
vironment. Nor were they, as is
every ordinary dream, tumble of con-
densed and disfgured impressions un-
ineligible but to the trained percep-
tons of the analyst. On the contrary
they were. as communicated to Fos-
dick, coherent, dramatic, picturesque,
convincing reports of happenings
which, If they fell short of the round
ed completeness of the invented story,
were strikingly like reels Inconsecu-
lively viewed In some cinema of en-
trancing interest.
Further: Priscilla was not hysteri-
cal, neurotic or anemic. Neither was
she of unsound mind. Hallucinations,
trance and ecstasy take shape only In
the mlasmata of insanitary mental and
physical states. The man who since
her earliest days had adored and
watched over her, knew few minds
more clear of vision, unprepossessed
by illusions, or capable of straight,
honest reasoning. But 1t was not more
sane than her well nourished, groomed
and guarded body.
To certainty, however. the
dreams" were telepathie. And Fosr
dick had already seen they could be
stimulated by auto-suggestion---
when Priscilla had suffered sense Of
translated identity while puzzling over
her portrait Of 'Leonora." So, too,
without question, they fell within the
definition OF telaesthesia as amy d.
rect sensation or perception of objects

"Priscillaw
The imperative tone shocked her
into momentary silence. But her at
titude remained that of suppllcation,
she still trembled in frantic anxiety
and besought his generosity with
pleading hands.
"You won't--you promise not to go
to headquartersT
II promise. For the time being. at
least. I'll keep away from the police
but on one condition Are you

"Yes--yes, Philip"
"You must stop this fretting---take
things quietly. And you must come
away from the studio with me at once.

Aunt Esther will have me-Ill drop

CHAPTER FOUR
The Haunting Portrait.
1. IN THE AIR,

iN AIM
That was the year of the impetuous
spring; March brewed weather whose
golden graciousness she stole from
May, April brought times of summer
heat, such as that afternoon when
Priscilla fell asleep in the studio and
dreamed her dream of terror. Days
followed as rare, unreasonable enough
but sweet with the warm delight of
youth anticipating the richness Of ma
turity, with nights of wonder whose
winds walked suavely beneath skies of
velvet, purple, dense and soft Top
coats and heavy wraps went early and
unmourned to limbo, summer furs APP
peared to stress the delicacy Of sum-
merry frocks. Shop windows bloomed
with displays of sheer and dainty fab
RIGS exqusitely tinted like beds of ex-
otto flowers under glass. In between
them the Avenue saw confused and
distracting shows Of living flowers
drifting up and down, eddying in
groups. pausing lightly. And by day
and night as well the Town abandoned
itself to such friyolity as had no prec-
edent in the maddest chapters of its
history. Between twelve and twelve
IL was difficult to secure table at any
of the more favored restaurants unless
one haa been thoughtful enough to
make reservation long In advance.
Plays offering the sorriest of entertain

In the morning rushing tides of motor
cars rendered the passage of Fifth
avenue as perlous as at five In the
evening. The more retiring social life
was proportionately more gay and rest
less, its brief post-Lenten season in
candescent with brilliance unparal-
leled In the memory Of the most elder
ly idler. Everywhere there was end
less feasting, dancing, coquetry, laugh
ter, love In idleness. Announcements
of engagements popped in well-nigh
continuous fusillade; and after dark
all the kindly shadows in the parks
were murmurous with the voices of
humber sweetheartS. Love was in the
air, as omnipresent as the dust of gold
sprayed into the night by flaming sky

quite insensible to the preoccupation

III. THE PRESCRIPTION.

Priscilla had a pensive moment.
"Hypnotism?" she echoed her thought I:
az wonder If that's one way .
Do you think you could get at the
truth, Philip, If you were to hypnotic
and then cross-examine meT
ard rather not except as last re-
sort Hypnotism demands such com
plete surrender to the will of the
Yiypnotist, it tends to undermine the
independence of the ego which is es-
sential to the right development Of
the individual"
''But what else can we DOR
.Many things To begin with,
I want to take this story home with
me and 90 over it word by word. AS
II stands. in its intrinsic significance,
it's an absolutely unique human docu-
ment. utterly artless and honest. The
clue we need may be in it, in some I'M
conscious betrayal of repressed emo
ton or desire; it may lie hidden in
some turn of phrasing. even in some
unusual word. the word you wouldn't
ordinarily use to express your thought.
Such things can only be got at through
close study"
"What else?"
"Oh. plain sIeuthing, for one-like
digging into the mystery of your par
ents' marriage finding out why they
were unhappy, and especially who

family she had behind her-whether,
In short it's possible that you've in

test.

SUBURBAN HOME WAS
ROBBED SUNDAY NIGHT
Residence Of Mr.. G. G. Smart, on Ger.
mantown Road, Entered by
Sneak Thieves.

Sometime early Sunday evening
while members Of the family were alb
sent, sneak thieves entered the home
Of Mr.. G. C. Smart on the Germantown
road Just west Of the city and ran
sacked the second floor Of the resi-
dence carrying away several pieces Of
jewelry Of considerable value.
Among the jewelry missed Monday
morning by Mr.. and Mrs. Smart was
eight or ten ladies' rings, two brace
let's and one very valuable ladies'
watch. The watch was probably the
most valuable article stolen from the
home. So far as Mr.. and Mrs. Smart
are able to learn, nothing else was
taken of value except the jewelry. The
theieves evidently did not enter the
third floor Of the residence as moth
ing seems to have been disturbed
there.
Police are Of the opinion that the
"job" was done by sneak thieves in
the neighborhood Of the Smart home
who knew that the members of the
family were absent from the home be-
tween the hours OF 5 and 9 p. m. Sun
