letter shows that they sufficed to bring much
consolation to the lady.
The next letter Is Informative, rather than
asking for information. It is from q wen
known clairvoyant who has given me some
remarkable results asked her to tell me
exactly how she got premonitions Of what
would occur-which she does with wonderful
accuracy. She answers here that the in
formation comes to her in pictures and
symbols. If, for example she sees a picture Of
sinking ship, that carries its own message.
Or it may be fire or a broken motor car.
Birthdays and happy anniversaries are shown
by gorgeous flowers, chiefly white wedding
by orange blossoms. Death by a shroud.
Turvey, who was remarkable amateur sensa-
tive, gives similar explanation in his
beginnings of Seership," and adds the in
teresting detail that he judges the nearness
or remoteness Of the incident by the clearness
Of the image. Both agree that 1t is not
always easy to distinguish what has happened
from what will happen-the past from the
future.
Now there is only one letter left at the
bottom Of the little drawer-one drawer out
Of many in which tabulate and subdivide
my psychic information 1t happens 70 be
particularly beautiful one-so beautiful
that ! remember that when I received 1t
had some thought Of publishing it as q
leafet It Is from the Australian mother who
had lost her only child It begins, "For five
years had prayed day and night that the
the years passed, and my heart was stiH
empty, my prayer grew almost to q cry Of
despair. He sent 80 many babies to mothers
who did not want them mothers who had
too many to care for and mothers who left
them in parks to die, and asked for only
one, just to comfort the big aching loneliness
in my heart" /" eai
When the baby did at last come 1t was born
dead
.-They buried him in the garden under q
waffle tree, and I filled the tiny grave with
fresh sweet violets % that the. cold damp
earth would not touch the dear Gimpled
body. folded, away an the tiny clothes. that
had made, but my heart was like o stone.
It had died with my baby"
Very shortly afterward the mother had o
serious operation and while under ether had
vision which she describes in remarkable
language. She found herself IN q lovely
country and IN company with some guardian
friend who explained all things to her. He
led her TO lovely cottage in garden fun
Of bright eolOrs.
Where have you put my baby2" asked
He turned and looked across the garden On
the left Of the path. There, lying in q bed
OF white pansies, was my happy little baby.
He was laughing, and his dimpled hands were
stretched out to catch q gay butterfly that
darted about. to and fro, playing with him.
The pansy faces seemed to be caressing his
sweet little body, the taller blossoms swayed
overhead, and the laughter of my baby ringing
IN that garden seemed perfect thing.
Oo you want 20 take your baby back -
earth with you? he asked.
"'Oh, no, said. I could not take him
away from such happiness to know pain and
sorrow. He Is better with YOU
Then he took me by both hands and said,
You must 60 back now, but it Is only for
abort time, and always remember that this
little cottage with your baby Is awaiting you
so opened my eyes and found myself IN
the hospital bed, just coming out Of the
anesthetic. said to those who stood around:
I have seen my baby. He is 80 happy that
shall never fret for him again
They thought it wonderful that q dream
could make me so happy, but it was more than
o dream
THAT was three years ago. Six months aRO
another dead baby was sent to me. but I
couldn't grieve, for knew that there would
be now two happy babies playing with the
butterflies among the white pansies"
One may take all this as q pure fantasy or
- an actual psychic experience, but, whichever
way you take 1t, 1t seems to me TO be very
beautiful and consoing. have not heard from
the mother since, and perhaps she also (as
she WishedD has gone to the garden and II
