Sperry asked.
If that were known, it could be

But there was only one empty
chamber in the revolver How could
two shots have been fired?"
There was no answer at all to
this. And Sperry, after waiting, went
on to his next question: who oc-
cupied the room overhead"
But here we received the reply to
the previous question: There was a
box of cartridges in the table-dresser.
That's easy"
From that point, however, the in

answer to questions, or we got the
absurdity that we had encountered
before, about the drawing furn-

ways as the seance had been, the effect

She refused to take the supper Mrs..
Dane had prepared for her, and at
eleven o'clock Sperry took her home
in his car. !
remember that Mrs. Dane inquired,
after she had gone.
Does any one know the name of
the Wellses' butler? 1t is Hawkins ?"
I said nothing, and as Sperry was

Looking back, | realize that Herbert,
while less cynical, was still skeptical,
that his sister was non-committal, but
for some reason watching me, and
that Mrs. Dane was in state of de-
lightful anticipation.
My wife, however, had taken dis

the whole thing bored her.
'The men ike it, Of course" she
said, Horace fairly simnerres with

Immediately conscious of a sort of
soft movement around me, as of
shadowy shapes that passed and re-

Sperry had, | believe, told Herbert

but nothing had been said to the
women. knew through my wife that
they were wildly curious and the night
of the second seance Mrs. Dane drew
me aside and made me promise l
would tell her all I learned, after it
was ali over.
Miss Jeremy did not come to din

And although we tried to keep the
conversational ball floating airly, there
was not the usual effervescence of
the Neighborhood Club dinners. One
and ALL we were waiting, we knew
not for what.
l am sorry to record that there
were no physical phenomena of any
sort at this second seance. The room
was arranged as it had been at the
first sitting, except that a table with
a candle and a chair had been placed
behind screen for Mrs. Danes Sec

There was one other change. Sperry
had brought the walking he had
taken from Arthur Weiss room, and
after the medium was in trance he
placed it on the table before her.
The first questions were disappolnt-
ing in results. Asked about the stick,
there was only silence. When, how
ever, Sperry went back to the sitting
of the week before, and referred to
questions and answers at that time, the
medium seemed uneasy. Her hand
held under mine, made an effort to
free itself, and, released, touched the
cane. She lifted it., and struck the
table hard blow with it.

ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN

PONTIAC, Mich Aug. 1.-THE Oak
land Motor Car Company will spend
S500,000 in eight weeks advertising
campaign beginning August 81, it was
announced at the factory here today.
This campaign, one of the biggest
ever launched by an automobile COM
pany during a similar period Of time,
has been designed TO served as back
bone of business drive which the
company will sponsor during late
August and September
An additional purpose of the cam
paign, it was pointed out is to further
acquaint the public with the quality
Of the Oakland Eight and Pontiac Six
and entrench the company in it's posi-
ton of third largest producer in the
automobile business, a distinction
which it has enjoyed for many months.
In making the announcement w. A..
Bless, vice president in charge of sales,
declared that there is satisfactory
volume to be had today if the product
has high dollar value and if the gen
eral public can be made to realize it.
I'VE intend to stress the values en-
bodied in our products and we are
planning to invite at least 100000 peo-
pie to ride in Oaklands or Pontiacs so
that they may get thorough apprecia-
ton of what we are offering in these
two cars he said
Tn this advertising campaign we will
use newspapers, magazines and bill
boards. The newspapers, however, will
carry the flag. The bulk of the huge
appropriation will go into the news
papers because we regard the press as
indispensable and as our first line Of
offense.n
