The circle did not break up at once. The visitors wanted to talk, and the Maileys to listen.

«My perceptions,» said he, «are not so dull that I should have failed to observe the relations which have been established between my daughter and yourself. This question however, has become entangled with the other which we were discussing. You have b

«Animal magnetism, ectoplasm – in fact, power. That is the most comprehensive word. The Christ used that word. `Much power has gone out of me`. It is `dunamis` in the Greek, but the translators missed the point and translated it `virtue`. If a good Gre

«If, my dear Malone, I can help you to get this taint – what shall we call it? – microbus spiritualensis – out of your system, I am at your service. I shall be happy to devote a little of my spare time to exposing those specious fallacies to which you

The spectacles flashed round again.

But Mailey now int! ervened and with such authority that Challenger was forced to listen.

«Undoubtedly.»

Malone grinned over the receiver.

«Criminology, I presume?»

«Telepathy, perhaps.»

«Give three tilts, Wee One.»

«I call Henrietta Dresser.»

«There is another more ordinary analogy. Have you been in a warm room with a wet dog?»

«Is it you or Miromar who is talking now?»

«Please, sir, your brother Silas is below.» The two looked at each other with some dismay.

«Splendid! Any directions for me?»

Enid consulted a business-like little reporter`s notebook. «We have done seven. There was Westminster Abbey for the Church in its most picturesque form, and Saint Agatha for the High Church, and Tudor Place for the Low. Then there was the Westminster C

«What, has Willie sauced you?»

«Well, then, we have to consider the question of Terbane`s normal knowledge.! How can you possibly know what he has learned? I should think a railway-porter is particularly able to pick up such information.»

«Then we shall apply for the warrant. You see, it all depends upon which magistrate it comes before. There was Mr. Dalleret who let a medium off last month. He is no we to us. And Mr. Lancing has been mixed up with these people. Mr. Melrose is a stiff

She gave two more descriptions to the audience, both of them rather vague, and both recognized with some reservations. It was a curious fact that her details were such as she could not possibly see at the distance. Thus, dealing with a form which she c

«Gawd be praised! Gawd be thanked!» cried a voice.

«Which was exactly what ruined them,» said Smith.

Challenger`s huge head swung round and his lion`s glare rested upon his daughter.

«No, no, I don`t blame her! She will know better some day. The day is coming soon when all truth will be manifest and all these corrupt Churches will be swe! pt off the earth with their cruel doctrines and their caricatures of God.»

He was looking at her with the medium`s gaze in his light grey eyes – that gaze which looks round and through a thing rather than at it.

«Silas Linden, you are a fool! Can`t a parent c`rect `is own child?»

«Mediumship can be developed» said Mrs. Mailey. «One might almost say it was catching.»

«All right,» said he in a sulky voice, «I`ll sign.» He was allowed to rise with a warning that if he played any tricks he would not get off so lightly the second time. But there was no kick left in him and he scrawled a big, coarse « Silas Linden « at

«Thanks, I have seen quite enough,» said the pompous mystic, all the pomposity shaken out of him. «I confess that it has been rather too much for my nerves.»

«I`ll get you one at a time,» he growled, looking back with his angry pigs` eyes at the outer door of the flats. «You wait my lads, and see!» Then with sudden purpose he swung off down the street.

«It was you that wanted something. You wanted knowledge.»

«There is Roxton,» said he. « He`s not a chicken, but he is a useful man in a row. I think I could get him. He has been keen on your subject since his Dorsetshire experience.»

«Down to the `Admiral Vernon`. There`s a chance of a job as sparrin` partner to Long Davis. He goes into training on Monday and needs a man of my weight.»

The words were hardly out of his mouth when the curtains were torn open with sudden violence and a rattling of all! the rings. In the dark aperture there was outlined a vague white figure. It advanced slowly and with hesitation into the centre of the ro

«Do you mean to insinuate, sir, that I am capable of cheating?» trumpeted Challenger.

«What have they been a-doin` of?» asked Silas with a scowl. When this worthy pair could get no change out of each other, they usually united their forces against the children. He had entered the sitting-room and flung himself down in the wooden armchai

«It is a monstrous proposition,» said Challenger, glaring all round him.

She put her little work-worn hands over his high forehead and held them there in silence.

The voice trailed off and the trumpet fell.

«Well, Professor, we are all accused of it in turn,» said Mailey smiling. «We all feel as indignant as you are at first, but after a time you get used to it. I`ve been called a liar, a lunatic – goodness knows what. What does it matter?»

«There is no doubt that Banderby is the strongest physical medium in England,» said Smith. «But we all know what his personal character is. You could not rely upon him.»

«They will form a horrible block of vibrations! We must have some of our own sympathetic people to counteract it. There is Delicia Freeman. She would come. I could come myself. You would come, Mason?»

» Not at all,» said Mailey. « I think that his case now would do good in the police court, for it would show the public that we are determined to keep our house clean. I`ll give you one minute for consideration, Linden, and then I ring up the police.»<

«Science can be heroic,» said Mailey. «Who can deny it? And yet I have heard these very scientific men tell us that we imperil our reason when we try to get in touch with spiritual forces. Gladly would we sacrifice our reason, or our lives, if we could

«Yes – I wanted to ask – «

«How far have you got?» asked Challenger.

«Why, there is a hand holding ! it!» he cried, with sudden suspicion.
