you follow the border of this open ground do you

Croiset had come with Hollands DR.. W. H. C.
Tenhaef, the world-famed professor of paraPsy-

DR.. Tenhaeff had been telling me of the mind
reading powers of Croiset one of his star para
ghosts people with allegedly cairvoyant powers.
But never expected to see, that very evening, the
beginning Of an absolutely amazing demonstration
of what Croiset could do.
We talking when call came for Croiset
from Eindhoven, so miles away. A four-year-od
child had been missing for "a hours and the police

left Croiset's house in a mood of considerable
skepticism. Three days later, | checked up. The
police of Eindhoven had just found the chid's body
next to one of the piers of the bridge over the
