spiritualists' camp. Chesterfield. Ind.

RI HESTERFIELD, Ind, Sept.
III 12.-The symptoms Of me-
III diumship are varied and Won
derful.
One should never be too sure at
Chesterfield that a sick headache
Is a sick headache, or that neuralgia
is neuralgia.
Either of these may indicate only
a step toward spiritual development.
In fact. the really distinguished
visitor at camp Is the one who can
boast the greatest number Of queer
symptoms of "unfoldment."
1t is the fashion to speak Of Tex
haustion in the solar plexus" after
a seance. thereby impressing the
other members in the circle with
ones great susceptibility to "the
forces"
Extreme sensitiveness to light
after a seance is also another proof
to the assembled company that one
is highly developed in mediumship.
Sign of Clairaudience
One little old woman sitting near
me in a seance of Mrs. Matte Mich
OILS and Mrs. Mable Rifle, spoke up
in a trembling voice. Mrs Rifle.
my head, just like an iron cap. 1t
seems as if my head would burst.
What is it?'
"Oh, dearie." said Mrs. Rifle,
that should make you very happy.
II is the sign Of clairaudience. You
will find your powers fully developed
soon."
"Oh. thank you so much" gasped
the woman, and relapsed into pride
and gratitude for her headache.
Chesterfield declares that it IS
anxious TO develop as many medi.
ums as possible. so as to bring light
TO communities where there are no
medium missionaries now.
Hard to Get In
But whereas Chesterfield pretends
to welcome new workers, there are
sinister humors about camp of the
difficulty which applicants meet in
getting in.
Mrs. Myrtle Larson, Of East st.
Louis, a Undertaking. and clairvoy-
ant medium, who came in July with
her mother TO gain entrance to the
Chesterfield ring, was one Of those
who found the barriers higher and
stronger than she had expected
Mrs. Mary Murphy Lydy allowed
Mrs. Larson the privilege OF giving
a seance in her cottage one night,
to demonstrate her powers to the
crowd.
It was here that I first saw the
trick of ectoplasm weaving out Of
the air.
Mrs. Lydy's spirit had never tried
this, and Mrs. Lydy was much i'm
pressed by the demonstration. At
every seance of hers that I attended
after that. her spirits wove ecto-
plasm, just as Mrs Larson's spirits
had done.
But in spite Of the fact that Mrs.
Larson could teach some of the
Chesterfield mediums new tricks, she
had some difficulty in gaining a per
NIT to operate at camp, and that not
until next year.
Her mother was refused a permit
altogether.

T~ lLORY was certain that the
z minute the door had closed
- upon Stanley Wayburn, Dick
would come rushing upstairs to hear
what she had to say in her own de-
Tense. Trembling, she waited.
She ran upstairs and bolted the
door Of her bedroom. She was sure
she heard the handle of the door
turn, and then Dicks footsteps 60
ing down the stairs.
Glory presently tiptoed down the
stairs and peered between the blue
velvet curtains that hung in the
doorway.
Dick was sitting in one corner of
the davenport. His head was sunk
in his thin brown hands.
Glory thought she heard him give
low groan. But she was not sure
whether he did or not.
A sudden rush of pity for him
swept over her like a wave. For he
must love her the way she cared
for Stanley Wayburn. >. hopelessly
and helplessly!
....And yet Glory knew that in
time she would have forgotten all
about Stanley Wayburn if he had
not come bach. She had all but put
him out Of her heart during the
months before her marriage to Dick.
And why had he had to come
back to spoil Dicks life and hers,
too? For Glory was certain that.
in a mild sort of way, she would
have been quite contented to be
Dicks wife all the rest Of her
days If she had not seen Stan
again 49,, He had always been able
to sweep her off her feet!
rS---1 HE doorbell rang. Glory
II opened it to DR.. John.
- well, well, is the little
wife worried?" he asked in his kind
ly way when he saw her troubled
face but there's really no need
of it. Dick has just another touch
of that flu of his. Well have him
slaughtered around in a day or
two. Where is he?"
Glory led the way to the living
ROOM.
$50 this is the way you obey or
ders, 1t is? I thought told you to
go home and go straight to bed
young fellow Dr. John said.
Dick stared at him duly.
go up and put a couple of hot
water bottles in his bed, Glory" DR..
John ordered, taking out his clinical
thermometer. He looks as if he's
having a bit of chill"
The doctor popped his thermom
eter into Dicks mouth, as Glory
turned to go. She found the only
hct water bottle in the house. after
a long search and filled it.
While DR.. John was helping Dick
into bed, Glory telephoned Mother
Gregory to come right over.
Then she gathered together her
night-clothes, an armful of her
boudior pillows, and the novel she
was reading. She carried them all
across the hall to the guestroom.
For she had made up her mind to
sleep tn ere that night . that
night, at least.
Dick followed his wife around with
heavy-lidded eyes.
Here's a couple of prescriptions.
Better go and get them filled right
away, Glory" DR.. John said, busily
writing on a small pad as he spoke
She took the slip Of paper, put on
her things and went downstairs.
She drew a long sigh Of relief as

accusingly to her daughter-in-law.
Hes either been upset over some
thing or his diet is all wrong. DO
you give him much fried food?"
Glory tried to think whether or not
Ranghild fried the meat and pota-
toes very often. She thought not.
We'll. anyway, Dicks to have
nothing but eggnog for his supper,
Mother Gregory went on without
waiting for Glory's reply. You go
down and beat 1t up while l make
Dick comfortable for the night
and make me a cup OF tea, while
you're at 1t. / was just sitting down
to dinner when you phoned me, and
l came right over without a bite. "
Glory stood looking helplessly lat
Mother Gregory's broad satin-cov-
cred back.
How do you make an egg.nog?"
she asked finally.
Mother Gregory turned and faced
her. Her fine black eyes were wild
ened in establishment.
We'll, I never heard of such a
thing! You, a grown woman, not
knowing how to beat a little milk
and egg together" she exclaimed.
You sit here and wait for me a min
ute When l finish with Dick
I'll go downstairs with you. and
show you how to make an egg-nog"
She smoothed the pillows under
Dicks head. Then she pulled the
hot water bottle from between the
sheets, and gave it to Glory.

Of that thing" she ordered. Never

top. TIN burst if you do And
roll it up in clean towel before you

Silently Glory obeyed. Then the
two women went down to Ranghi.d's
spotless white kitchen.
nNTl OW then" Mother Gregory
I'm said briskly. Put on your
~ apron and wash your hands
and We'll get to work. She hustled
about collecting milk and eggs and
nutmeg as she spoke.
Glory had no aprons of her own.
She had no use for aprons. But she
found one of Ranghild's in a pantry
drawer and tied it on.
When the egg-nog was made
Dicks mother poured it into a tall
glass and set it on a little tray.

stir around and get a bite of supper
for us, Glory" she said. And see
that he drinks every drop of it,"
Slowly and unwiliingly Glory went
upstairs. Dicks eyes were fixed on
the door as she swung it ajar. She
set the tray on a chair at the side
of Dicks bed
Here's the first meal your little
old wife ever cooked for you" Glory
said with a gayety she was far from
feeling. Dick merely looked at her.
She slipped an arm behind his
shoulders to raise him but he pushed
it away.
GIVE me the glass" he said short
ly. He drained it, and lay down
again with his face turned toward
the wall. Glory picked up her tray
to go. But before she reached the
door Dick had called to her.
