III. THE AMATEUR sLEUTH.


Dredging the past for the truth
about Priscilla's mother brought to
light nothing that seemed helpful. In
twenty-odd years New York itself had
changed almost beyond recognition
and the constitution of its society had
been made over again and again till
few of the original elements remained

quietly resumed his place and thence
forth devoted himself steadfastly to
his profession and the care of his

well. He lived to see Priscilla give

genius, even as her dark loneliness

After one week of gadding about. of
shopping and theaters and dances and
motoring. Priscilla felt quite fed up
with distractions. She wanted to gel
back to her work, and wouldn't be
happy till she did.
And why not? she demanded when
she failed to get Philip on the tee
phone and secure his professional per-
mission TO return to her studio. "A
few days" of trif1ng was all he had
stipulated; and those few had served.
She dreamed no more of Leonora or
Red Carnehan or Mario. Today, all
that, indeed. seemed remote and unip-
portant. What though she had dreamed
nightmare which conceded so mys-
teriOusly with actual events as TO scare
her nearly out of her wits? After all,
1t was at worst dream; and in this
delightfully."- substantial and matter-of-
fact world, condolences don't count

She found Ada Meyer pottering with
a hopeless daub of still life. spent most
of the morning giggling and gossiping,
carried her off TO the Ritz for lunch
con, and left her there with some
friends who needed a fourth al bridge;
an arrangement perfectly agreeable TO
Priscilla; it was hard enough at any
time to settle down TO work after a
spell of idling. it was the next thing TO
an impossibility with Ada on the
premises.
The quiet of the empty studio was
soothing and grateful. Priscilla sighed
cOntentedly, wheeled the heavy easel
over TO its stand beside the pier glass,
shrugged into a paint-smeared s.nock,
and In the next fifteen minutes did
nothing whatever but sit in chair
before the self-portrait. in stirless, in
tent study of her work.
Again it seemed good in her sight,
decidedly the best thing she had ever
done; and yet she was dissatisfied;
something was wrong. something was
missing without which 1t could not
prove convincing.
The head she must not touch, lest
one misjudged stroke mar the excel

dick had already seen they could be
simulated by auto-suggestion-as
when Priscilla had suffered sense of
translated identity while puzzling over
her portrait of 'Leonora." So, too,
without question. they fell within the
dehnition of telaesthesia as "any di.
rect sensation or perception of objects
or conditions independent of the rec
ognized channels of the senses, and
also under such circumstances that no
known mind external to the percipi-
enrs can be suggested as the source Of
the knowledge thus gained" But In
either case the link was missing;
there was no known mind" with
which Priscilla's could conceivably
communicate with such intimate SYM

But was "Leonora" anything more
than fancy born of subliminai rec

she was the vessel of dual personal

that linked her mind with Priscilla's?

And yet, Fosdick had repeatedly to
remind himself, the projection of
secondary personality through any
considerable distance in space, or the
creation of a new and strange en-
vironment for its activities, was a phe-
nomenon as yet even to be suggested
by the most pretentious charlatan or
the most credulous pseudo-scientific
student of the psychic.
Nevertheless. he felt constrained

of dual personality and upon it base

Bound by his pledge to Priscilla not
to consult the police. discreet employ

vided by wide acquaintance among
newspaper men nevertheless brought
him all police headquarters knew
about the Bielinsky affair. Nothing
was known concerning the party in the

Russian escaped after adding two
murders TO his score. The name of
Red Carnehan had not been mentioned
in connection with the crime. There

Considering it essential that he
should learn more of Mr. Carnehan
