seemed so soft and so warm to him. A moment
came when all the fight seemed gone out of him.
He sank to his knees, remained there for an I'M
certain moment, then fell forward. AS his face
struck the snow, his head cleared somewhat. He
swallowed some of the snow. 1t felt good in his
throat. With effort, he took bottle of brandy
from his pocket managing short swallow.
THE sky was growing dark-night would be
| upon him very soon. He must push on. There
was still fight and determination in him. He
rested for several moments, counting aloud to
time himself, knowing that to remain there in
the snow more than few minutes would be
fatal. Summoning all his will power he strug-
gled to his feet. He had gone only few hundred
yards when he came upon frozen stream--a
stream which he knew passed less than mile
from his destination. Elation gave him new
strength He would make it all right, he knewl
Nothing could stop him now! Night settled down,
black, impenetrable, but Reilly moved on with a
blind direction, never swerving from his course.
Through the white furries an orange glow
appeared suddenly through the trees. Lights He
hadn't failed after all! Reilly stopped. He leaned
against a pine pressing wind-burned cheek
against the rough trunk. There was smile
his face as he moved cautiously toward the light.
Stealthily, he circled round 70 the rear of the
building, protected by the pine grove A few
moments later, standing before the rear en-
trance, Reilly slipped out Of his snowshoes. He
turned the knob and the door opened inward
Inside the hall Reilly stood still, listening. He
could distinguish the faint sound Of silverware
against china, and moved quietly toward the
dining room.

THERE'S wave of speculation about ques-
/ ton as old as man: Do we survive? Is there
Immortality? Letters come with curious regu-
larity, pertinent comments on life after death.
Every writer who believes supplies personal
evidence; those who refute the possibility of
personal survival, send reasons for their denial
From Cove, Oregon, Mrs. c. A. Anderson sends
a list of varied comments by scientists, profess
sors pastors, authors who have taken the pro
side in discussing psychic phenomenon. Here are
several unusual excerpts from her researches:
'Dr. Alexis Carrel asserts that spiritualism
is proven fact"
Sir A. s. Eddington, British scientist: 1T
would be wrong to condemn alleged knowledge
of the unseen world because it is unable to fol-
low the lines of deductions laid down by science
as appropriate to the seen world"
John Erskine 1T seems to me that the human
race has been given two bad mistakes in its
thinking. One is-they forget that our spiritual
life is just as natural as our physical"
Bishop John P. Newmen: "The belief is all but
universal that the spirits of all departed have
returned to earth. The two worlds met In Bible
times; the communications were real then be-
tween earth and heaven as between New York
and London today, and the communication be-
tween the two worlds continues today"
Basil King, author: intercourse with the
plane above us is part of our intercourse with
Cod Separation from those who love us and
whom we love is no more part of His plan than
is separation from Himself"
rIR WILLIAM CROOKS (after 30 years of
- investigation) "Since I published an ac-
count of experiments tending to show that out
side our scientific knowledge there exists Force
exercised by intelligence differing from ordinary
intelligence common to mortals, 1 have nothing
to retract adhere to my already published
statements; indeed might add much more"
Sir Oliver Lodge: my skepticism has been
overborne by facts. The hypothesis of surviving
intelligence and personality, not only striving,
but anxious and able to communicates the
simplest and most straightforward, and the only
one that fits all the facts"
Signor Marconi: This conclusively proves the
existence and the immortality OF the soul"
Rev. B. F. Austin (for many years pastor and
president Of Alma College, Canada) IF the
dead cannot manifest to mortals, then Jesus did
not manifest to his disciples, and Christianity
Is without historic basis Every argument against
the possible truth of the psychic phenomena
today Is an argument against the historic foun-
dation Of Christianity which rests on similar
phenomena. The value of man does not lie in his
body, but In his soul we do not enter into
eternity: we are in eternity. The, soul does not
become immortal; 1T Is immortal"

continued southwark.
But although food and drink had seemed to
brace him temporarily, by noon he again felt
the weakness that was more than fatigue creep,
ing over him. There a strange dizziness,
too. He fought them as he fought the wind and
snow. What was wrong with him anyway? This
was not Tim Reilly, he told himself the Tim
Reilly who had never known illness, who had
spent months at time tramping the snow coun-
try. He was getting soft! His heart was pound

panied gasps. The wind had died down some
what, but the snow was falling so heavily now
that only man who knew the country as Tim
Reilly knew 1t could find his way through the
all-enveloping white blanket.
A fear was born and grew in Reilly. What if
he didn't reach his destination? He must-he

A NINA DE KOBEN, author of "a Cloud of
~ Witnesses" Seeing the importance of
spiritual development, we marvel at the neglect
of it. The intelligent ones recognize it, and at
tempt at once to develop; the stupid ones hang
on to the earth symbols"
Stephen Phillips author: Il tell you we are

Professor Herbert Mayo: IT was hard
headed unbeliever. However, suddenly and quite
unexpectedly it developed in my own family and
the phenomena which occurs there is overwhelm-
ing evidence, and it is too late now to deny its
existence"
Professor Thomas Higginson: 'If I have not
satisfactory evidence of the genuineness Of the
phenomena which have described, then there
is no such thing as evidence and all the fabric
of natural science may be mess of imposture."
Rev. Lyman Abbott: II love to believe that
those who have died have not gone far away
from us. love to think my mother follows me
with her eyes as she did when was boy"
Isaac K. Funk: THE less people know about
this subject the easier it is for them to laugh
at it. am more than convinced the phenomena
is genuine, as convinced of the reality of these
facts in life and they are just as well estab-
lished."
DR.. W. f. Barrett: "The impressive fact of
behind them, and unseen individuality as dis
tinct as our own"
PROFESSOR A. r. WALLACE: THE phe-
nomena in their entirety do not require
further confirmation. They are proven quite as
well as any facts are proven in other science
and it is not denial or quibbling that can dis
prove any of them, but only fresh and accurate
deductions from these facts"
Rev. Robert Chambers: II have for many
years known that the phenomena are real"
Sir Arthur Findlay: Truth, whether in or
out of fashion, is measure of knowledge. What
ever is besides that, however authorized by con-
sent, is nothing but ignorance or something
worse. Spiritualism is based on truth scientif-
cally established. knowledge begins where faith
ends, and faith no longer satisfies the hunger of
the intelligent mind"
Hereward Darlington: "I think not only the
spiritual hypothesis justified as a working
theory, but it is in fact the only one capable
of nationally explaining the facts"
Professor Tyrrel: 'The tomb is not blind

He stood almost beside the man at the table
before his presence became known. There were
many things in the mans eyes, but surprise was
not one of them when he saw Reilly. He rose
quietly, pushing back his chair. They looked at
each other for a moment without an exchange
of words There was no attempt made by either
man to draw gun. The younger man YVES the
first to speak.
You look rather done up. Let me get you
something to drink"
Thanks, son, could do with a glass of
brandy" Reilly assented and while it was being
poured for him, continued, II suppose you know
why I've Gomez"
The other nodded. His head rested on his chest,
sadly. Reilly downed the brandy and pointed to
a chair.
"Sit down, son. Before the law takes over the
situation I want to have talk with you. There
are some things that should be cleared up be-
tween you and me"
Again the other nodded and dropped back into
his chair. Reilly sat down across from him and
began to talk. 1t was more than an hour later
when Reilly leaned back in his chair with a
sigh of satisfaction. Before him on the table
lay a signed confession. His duty was done. A
strange peacefuness settled over him despite
the sharp darting pains he felt around his heart.
Perhaps ne had overtaxed it little, but every
thing was all right now. He closed his eyes and
this time he did not fight oblivion. He slumped
forward in his chair.
In an instant the other man was on his feet
and around the table kneeling beside Reilly He
placed his ear to the old mans heart. There
were tears on his cheeks when he rose. He
wiped them away hurriedly on the sleeve of his
jacket. Walking across the room, he opened the
door and called.
Sergeant Daley. viii you please come in
here"
A moment later a man in the Uniform of the
Royal Northwest Mounted Police appeared in
the doorway.
"Yes sir" he saluted Then his eyes fell on
the still form of Reilly slumped in the chair.
"Why, why, it's your father, Lieutenant" he
exclaimed incredulously. How did he get
here?"
He came here to perform what he called his
duty to me. Sergeant my father, not Jules
LaFarge killed Douglas McTeague. We must
release LaFarge Immediately. He is an innocent
man. There is my fathers confession" He point
ed to the paper the table before the dead
man. Sergeant Daley scarcely glanced at the
paper. His eyes were upon Lieutenant Reilly.
"You-you knew" he asked falteringly.
I'm afraid So" Lieutenant Reilly admitted.
There was strange tremor in his voice. II don't
know Just what would have done. Anyway
dads solved the problem for me now. Sergeant,
we've got our man." Walking slowly across the
room, he stood looking out at the falling snow.
Presently, without turning, he said In a voice
that was scarcely audible: Get Dugan and
carry dad into my room, Sergeant, then-leave
me alone for awhile. want to think over some
of the things he told nne-sbout duty"
