N WN U —NO 45— = 1907 © the room is CHAPTER XVII, (Continued.) began her story. “It was very late when we got home last night after the party,” she said. “I was in a curious state of nerves and excitement. I must touch upon a personal matter—this is no time for reticence or false shame. I had been with Sir William Gouldesbrough.. You know that we were at one time en- gaged—oh, this is horribly difficult for me to say, Mr. Megbie.” “Go on, Miss Poole. I know, I know. But what does it matter at such a time as this?” . “Nothing at all,” she answered, in a resolute voice. “I was engaged to Sir William when I found that my affec- tion was going elsewhere. Gerald, Mr. Rathbone——” “You needn’t go into the past, Miss Poole,” Donald broke in; “tell me about last night.” “Twas with Sir William at supper time. There was a remarkable scene. It was a sort of triumph for him, and, as I was with him, every one included me in it. It was, obviously, general- ly assumed that we had become en- gaged once more. On the way home Sir William again asked me to be his wife. I told him that I could not give him an answer then. I said that I would tell him to-night. He is coming to Curzon street to-night.’ “I beg you, I implore you, to wait!” Megbie’s words were so grave, he seemed so terribly in earnest, that the girl shrank from them as one would shrink from blows. The same thought began to lurk,in the eyes of the woman and the man— the same incredible, and yet frightful thought. Marjorie’s cheeks were almost gray in color. To Megbie, as he watched her, she seemed to have grown older suddenly. The luster seemed to have gone out of her hair. , ‘ “IT reached home,” she said. “Mdth- er made me take a cup of beef tea, and I went to my room. I was prepar- ing for bed—indeed, I was brushing my hair before the mirror—when a curious sense of disturbance and al- most of fear came over me. I felt as if there was another presence in the room. Néw, my looking glass is a very large one indeed; it commands the whole of the room. The whole of reflected in it without any part left out, except, those parts which I could see where I sat. When this strange feeling of another presence came over me, I thought it was merely reaction after a terribly exciting night. I looked into the glass and saw that the room was absolutely empty. Still the sensation grew. It became go strong at last that I turned round, and there, Mr. Megbie—I tell you in the utmost be- wilderment, but, with extreme certain- ty—there, though the mirror showed nothing at all, a figure was standing— the figure of a man. It was not three feet away.” Megbie broke in upon her narrative. “The figure,” he said, in a hushed voice, “was the figure of Mr. Eustace Charliewood, who shot himself at Brighton some little time ago!” She cried out aloud, “Yes; but how did you know?” “He came to me also last night. He came to me out of the other: world which is all round us, but which we cannot see. He was trying to tell me something about Gerald Rathbone.” Margorie Pool began to sob quietly. | “I knew it,” she answered. <‘Mr. Charliewood in another state sees more than we see. He knows where Gerald is. Oh, my love, my love!” Megbie went up to her. He had some sal volatile in his dressing case, and he made her take it. “Be brave,” he said. “You have more to tell me yet, as I have more to-tell you. Gerald is alive. We are certain of that. But he is in some one’s power. The spirit of this man Eustace Charliewood knows whers he is. He is trying to tell us. He is try- ing to make amends for something. He must have had something to do with Gerald’s disappearance.” “Mr. Charliewood,” Marjorie said, in a whisper, “wag Sir William Gouldes- prough’s intimate friend. He was al- ways about the house.” “When Gerald Rathbone disappear- ed Eustace Charliewood killed him- self.” “Sir William was at Brighton at the time. my mother to find Gerald.” “Go on with your story if you can,” Megbie said. “One more effort!” “T- knew that the figure was trying | Starting for Lord Malvin’s house, and} With great effort_of control Marjorie | of course, j The Strange Disappearance of Gerald Rathbone. By GUY THORNE. & He was trying to help me and! that. Just as I was, in the chair in front of the dressing table, I sank into sleep.” . “And your quickly. She started. “Ah, you know,” she said. “The spirit of Eustace Charlie- wood could not tell me while I was conscious, but in sleep he could in- fluence my brain in some other mys- terious way! I dreamed that Gerald was in a sort of cell. By some means or other I knew that it was under- ground. A man was there, a man who I have seen, a man—a horrible creature—who is a fellow worker of Sir William Gouldesbrough. The man was doing something to Gerald; I couldn’t see what it was. Then the picture faded away.. I seemed to be moving rapidly in a cold, empty place where there was no wind or air, sound, or—or—— I can’t describe it. It was a sort of ‘between place.” “And then?” ‘ “Then I saw you standing by the side of Sir William Gouldesbrough. It was at the party—Lord Malvin’s party, which we had just left. I saw this as if from a vast distance. It was a tiny, tiny picture, just as if one could see something going on under a miscroscope! Sir William was talking to some one whom I couldn’t see. But I knew it Was myself, that I was look- ing at the exact scene which had hap- pened at the party when you were going away with Sir William and he had stopped on the way to ask me to go to supper with him. And, strangely enough, in another part of my mind, the sub-conscious part, I suppose, I knew that I was looking at an event of the past and that this was the rea- son why it seemed so tiny and far off. The picture went away in a flashs—just like an eye winking. You've been to one of those bicgraph, shows and seen how suddenly the picture upon the screen goes? Well, it was just like that. Then a voice was speaking—a very thin and very distant voice. If one could telephone to the moon one would hear the voice at the other end just like that, I should think. And though the voice was so tiny it was quite @istinct, and it had a note of terrible entreaty. ‘Go to Donald Megbie,’ it said; ‘go at once to Don- ald Megbie, the writer. He will help. There is still time. Go to Donald Megbie. I have been able to com-. municate with him. He has the silver &-Gerald——’ And then, Mr. Megbie, the voice stopped suddenly. Those were the exact words. What they meant I did not know. But when I awoke they remained ringing in my ears like the echo of a bell heard over a wide expanse of country. In the morning I resolved to come to you. I\ didn’t kndw where you lived, but I lopked you up in ‘Who’s Who.’ And as soon as I could get away without any one knowing, I came here.” Donald Megbie rose from his. chair. He realized at.once that it was neces- sary to keep the same high tension of this interview. If that were lost ev- erything would go. “I know what the poor troubled spirit—if it is a spirit—of the man Charliewood meant by his last words. There is a thing called psychometry, Miss Poole. In brief, it means that any article which belongs, or has belonged, to any one somehow retains a part. of their personality. Jt may well be that’ the mysterious thought vibrations which Sir William Gouldesbrough has discovered can linger about an actual and material o%ject. Last night, when dream?” Megbie said, Sir William left mg to take you in to} supper at Lord Malvin’s, he left his cigarette case behind him in the con- servatory where we had been sitting. I didn’t want to bother him then, so I put it in my pocket, intending to send it to him to-day. Here it is, It be longed to Gerald Rathbone. I found it in Sir William’s possession, and I believe that it has been the means— owing to some law or force which we do not yet understand—of bringing us together this morning.” He handed her the cigarette case. Neither of them could know that this was the case which Eustace Charliewood had found in the pocket of Rathbone’s fur coat when he had taken it from the Bond street coiffeur’s in mistake. Neither of them could see how it had been restored by Charlie- wood to Rathbone, and had been ap- propriated by’ Mr. Guest. when the: captive had been taken to his silent place below the old house in Regent’s Park. And even Sir William Gouldes- brough did not know that he had seen the thing in his study just as he was to tell me about Gerald. Something | had absently slipped it into his pocket, told me that with absolute certainty. But it couldn’t tell me. It began to weep and wring its hands. Oh, it was pitiful! Then suddenly it seemed to thinking it was his own. CHAPTER-XVIII. °* Plans. 4 into: mist. ‘of light vanished; another, and the electric bulbs. realize that it was no use.

His great pink face was blotched and Stained by excess and his hand shook like an aspen leaf. He jerked his head toward the opposite wall upon which the huge screen was stretched —an enormous expanse of white ma- terial upon rollers of hollow steel. ‘Rathbone’s getting about done,” he Said. “I give him another month be- fore his brain goes or he pegs out alto- gether. Look at those results just now! - All foggy and uncertain. He’s losing the power of concentrating his thoughts. Continuous thinking’s get- ting beyond him.” Sir William was sitting in an arm- chair; by the side of it was a circular table with a vulcanite’ top, covered with switch handles and controlling mechanism. His long, thin fingers played with a little brass button, and his face was set in lines of deep and gloomy thought. His eyes were fixed and brooding, and somberness seemed to surround him like an atmosphere. He showed no signs of having heard his assistant for a moment or two; then he turned his face suddenly to- ward him. “My friend,” he said, “you yourself will not last another month if you go on as you are going. Thatis quite eertain. You ought to know it as well as I do. Another attack of de- lirjum, and nothing can save you.” Mr. Guest smiled horribly. “Very possibly, William,” he said. “I have thought that it may be so myself. But why should I care? I’m not like you. I have no human _ interests. Nothing matters to me except my work.” “And if you die in delirium tremens you won’t be able to go on with your work.” ‘My dear William, there is nothing left for‘ me to do. In this new discovery of ours yours hasbeen the master hand; I quite admit that. But you could not have done without me. I know, as you know, that there is no one else in Europe except myself who could have helped you to bring the toil of-years to such a glorious conclusion. Well, there is the end of it. I am nearly fifty years old. There is no time to start again, to begin on some- thing new. Life will not be long enough. I have used up all my powers in the. long-continued thought-spec- trum experiments. I have no more energy for new things. I rest upon my laurels, content that I have done’ what I have, and content from th purely scientific point of view. I’ve ful- filled my destiny. My mind is not liké the minds of other men I meet. It is not quite human. It’s a purely scientific mind; a piece of experiment- ‘al apparatus which has now done its work.” He laughed—a laugh which was so mitthless and cold that even Gouldes- brough shuddered at the soulless, mel- ancholy sound. Then he got down from the table and shambled over the floor of the laboratory toward a cup- board. He took a bottle of whisky froy a shelf, half-filled a tumbler with th@ spirit, and lifted it toward his chief in bitter mockery. (To Be Continued.) REWARD FOR HER CHARITY. The Gift of a Spanish Girl Who Had , No Money. Upon a Spanish highway, where all the pretty girls and handsome youths were returning arm in arm from the gorrida, a youthful mendieant with a ragged cloak thrown around him, was praying for alms, vowing that no food had passed his lips for two wholé days. + Notwithstanding the firmness of his, tanned skin, which could be seen peeping out through the rents and tears of his ragged clothes, one felt at a glance that he was no impostor. The half-starved look in his eyes and his sunken cheek betokened the want of nourishment. “The crowd, however, paid but little attention to him and passed him by, singing Spanish lovesongs amidst hearty plaudits and peals of laughter. Would they all leave the poor boy to die or starvation on the road? From out all the throngh only three young girls stopped and gazed upon him. They were fresh to look upon, plump- rosy-cheeked and not more than twenty years of age. They paused, and gradually their laughter gave place to looks of pity. The eld- est girl gave one real. “Than you,” jhe said. The next girl gave him a piecette; “God will yeward you,” said he + ; x The third, the, youngest, who was also the prettiest of the three, had neither real nor piecette.For a mo- ment she stood undecided then, stand- ing on tip toe, she gave him a soft little kiss on the lips. The poor far- mished lad said nothing, but, seeing a bower vendor passing, he gaye to him all the money he had just begged for a large bunch of tea roses, and, with tears in his eyes, silently handed them to the younger girl.
