CHAPTER XXII. Jeanne Lenox, BtationeJ behind the laco curtains of the parlor win-lowa in her own home, was also watcbin- thesa first enowflake9 of the year. At least, eo it appeared to Miss IlilJab, wbo was lounging in a bij chair before the fire. In reality, Jcacno waa watching for riorencc. She had sent her rnai 1 on an errand, and she had been iu a do.ea dillerent minda about that errand in as many minutes since ii.pateliinz her. The embroidered edjjes of the lace curtains were Buffering at her hand. Her certous little L"iu:er9 had tilled at theiu with euch unconscious ener-y that they bad yielded to the unusual strain in several places, showing uply, jajized rents. She wa3 certain that Florence had been absent long enough to have pone to the mM nnfl hftok "fortv times." She had ryavor vpntnrp,! there herself eince herself since en- i v. . - - countering Mrs. Koper; but how could she let the days roil over his - . DOOr, EICK. head" without letting him know that somebody besides the doctor and the hired nurse was thinking about him and caring tor him? Had fche not told him that eho would wait patiently until ho was great? And would it not comfort him now on his paia and loneliness to know that oho was not forgetting her promise? She was sure ehe had done ju&t the very 'best thing," and ehe was not at all sorry. Only, if that horrid Tlorenco would not dally so. A" moment later Mi.3 Ilildah, turning her eyes toward tho window to make aa observation ta her uieco upon the execrable promptness with which fall had eet in, found that Jeanne was not there. She had disappeared witn the most myterious suddenness, "without even the rustle of a petticoat," the old lady muttered querulously, taking refuge once more in her crochet work. . Jeanne's watch really had terminated with remarkable suddenness. She had seen I'lorence and in her hands were the flowers she had eent Kandall Mackaye end what looked like her own note. She was in her own room by the time Florence found her, to.-sing the contents of ner top bureau drawer about with a reckless assumption of indifference which was entirely thrown away on the experienced Frenchwoman. Florence walked' across the room and placed the roses in a pitcher of water, before making her report. "We havo mado a mistake, she saiJ, coolly, laying Jeanne's note down on the toilette table before her. The was seal was unbroken. Mistress and maid looked at each other silently. Jeanne's iaco was white to the very lips and there was a startled look in her ereat innocent eyes. "I am sorry I could not deliver them, but it was impo.-siLiie." "And why?" "Uecaus.j Monsieur's wife has returned, and it would have teen manifestly indiscreet. I could not injure my young lady's reputation so thoughtlessly." -His-wife:" Florence, the maid, experienced a fleeting sen.-at:on. of pity. After all, this white, trembling girl before her was not a Lady F.unice. Fut "this white, trembling pirl"' had once tried to dif.oii-3 her insolently, and Florence never forgave. "Monsieur s wife," sho repeated. "It would seem that their quarrel quite made up. The janitor Fays everybody is happy, and now Monsieur wiil get well. Let us hope eo." She knew that every word which foil from her thin, cruel lips struck its own distinct Ftab to the young heart of her mistress. Jeanne made a feeble elfort to fay something, but hhe could find neither words or voice. She would like to pay something calm and cleverly deceitful something which would make Florence believe that ehe had known all along that llandall Mackaye. had a wife, and that her own courtesy to him had been f-imply tho courtesy of an art patron. Poor little Jennno ! No clever lie would come at her bidding. She just sat there beiore her tormentor, feeling all the rich, warm blood that had been bounding in her young veins turning to ice, and leaving her cold and numb. She shivered as If with a physical chill. She was slowly tearing the note into bits. Florence was behind her in a moment, tenderly wrapping a shawl about her trembling shoulders. "And, Mies Lenox, I have other news for you. My friend, the janitor, pave it to tee. He got it from the elevator boy at the studio building, and I believe tho elevator boy heard it from tho man of the centleman who picked Mr. Chiltern up, but of that I am not quite 6iire." In a bewildered way Jeanne gathered that her maid had picked up pome news among the lacqueys; but why should Fhe intrude it upon her? What was Dolly Chiltern to her? Florence had meant to divert her, Well, ehe would be diverted, if only to 6how her that this news about the sculptor meant nothing to her literally nothing. fche turned her faco toward the open drawer onco more and beat over a mass of tangled ribbons. "Well, Florence, what about tho gentle"man'a man, and the elevator boy. and Mr. Chiltern who was picked up? That has such a disreputable sound." "The janitor Fays be i; very badly injured, perhaps will- carry the scar to hi VT&ve. At least fo one of the waiters at the club told the pi ntleraan's man who picked hira up. I mean tho man of tho gentleman who picked him up." "Scar to his grav: ! Focr Mr?. Chiltern ! Fhe must be almost cra7y. Lutwhatwua ne doing? IM your footmen and your waiters tell yon that?" "He was defending a lady's honor. Mr. Chiltern is of the knightly sort, only Miss - Lenox never tcmul to discern it." " Jeanne was looking at her ajain with that wild, hunte.l look, which ouht to have disarmed her, but it did not. On the contrary, this "affair" ha 1 so many ioints of similarity with her dear Lady Eunice's romance that Florence quite revelled in it. As a rule she' had found service in Am eric.i ratlicr devoid of interest. The American women were tame, fiat, timid. None of theui Lad the esprit of her dear Lady F.unice. It was suddenly borne in upon Jeanne that Dolly may have been lighting her battle. She Unshed rrcklewiy. Detter brave it ont if he ron'.d. She supposed that was til that a woman could do when sh? found Iic-r namn wa3 being drHfc'c?d through the mire. There was a fevered spat on her cheeks now and her eyes were literally ablaze. "Who was the' la Jy. Florence, that Mr.

Chiltern defended in drayman's style? "I do not know tho lady's name. My friend the janitor did not give it to me. I thought Miss Lenox would bo interested, because she knows Mr. Chiltern and his lady mother and all the sweet young ladies of the family." "Yes I am sorry. Poor Mrs. Chiltern'." She was not thinking of chivalric Doily Chiltern. She had forgotten all about him, even as the words passed her lips. She was thinking of Kandall Mackaye, and of the intensity of her hatred for him. How "ijueer" that one drop of ga'l could turn love into hatred with such celerity ! Mie was casting about her confusedly for some way out of this esclandre which should not make total wreck of her selfrespect. Her ideas of right and wrong seemed suddenly turned topsy-turvey. She was glad her father was still in Lurope. Things "blew over," Bhe supposed. Hut, oh for some Etrong, wise, good woman friend somebody to put loving arms aooui her and teli her what to do, what to !saa,t0 leave undone, what not to say : coma tne ever iace me woria asain; . , whllrt T.inna trrncllo,! olnrA n-ith the horror and the Bhame of Landall Mackaye's perfidy. Miss Ilildah Bat by the parlor tire crocheting a woollen cap V be put ia the next missionary box, and Florence moved noiselessly about the room, laying out Jeanne s dinner-dross. These two women were all the girl's womanhood ! "I suppose we will hear it all tomorrow," said the Frenchwoman, carefully pulling out the ribbon bows on the sleeves of the dress she had thrown on tho bed. Her back was turned to Jeanne. "Hear what in the papers tomorrow?" "About the trouble at the club the ladv's name, and so on. Fortunate lady! V - IS Skf -- aS Tl VA UICIIU TT lilt Now she wiil become the fashion ! My Lady Lunico once said " She heard a short, quick gasp behind her. Jeanne's head fell forward on the toilette table before her. She had fainted. Florence laid her quietly ( n the bed and cut her corset strings. She was will trained in such service. It made her think better of Jeanne. She was not such a little plebeian after all. It was only your true aristocrat who could and did suspend animation at the proper juncture. Jeanne opened her eyes after awhile and looked up into the cynicAl face of her French maid. She could never remember looking into a mother's eyes. "What is the matter with me, Florence? I feel so stupid." "Miss Leuox fainted. That is all. One's first affair always excites one unduly. Miss I-enox had better try to go to sleep." Jeanne turned her face wearily to the wall. Yes, she would liko to sleep. It seemed pleasant to think of going to sleep and forgetting. Tna mail placed the tall Japanese screen between the foot of the Ded and tho window. She would not be needed for some hours, she felt quite sure. In the meantime perhaps there had been some developments at the studio. The janitor was under a promise to keep her "posted." She would go back to him. Jeanne sobbed herself to sleep. No tears would come to cool her hot dry lid.5 aä long as Florence was in the room, but as soon as she found herself quite alone the pent up torrent broke forth with plebian violence. Hut all her tears had been shed and all her bitterness exhausted ami 6he vns Bleeping like ft little tired child when Mies Hildah came limping into the room, her cane punctuating her progress audibly. She came over to Jeanne's bedside and looked at her wonderin;;ly. "Was the child sick and never a word to her about it? She was made of precious email importance in this world, of none to Jeanne lately "Jeanne!" Jeanne 6tarteJ ud in affright. Tho room ssas almost dark. Mi-s Ilildah was standing over her, looking fretful. "Was there any moro trouble for her to hear about? "Are you ßick, Jeanne?" "No" sho began winding her disordered hair around her head "no, I'm not sick, Aunt Hildah." "Yoa look like it. Your cheeks are fiery red. I do beiieve you haye fever. Let me see your tongue." "I am not sick. Aunt Ilildah, and I do not care to show my tongue." "Well, well, don't get snappish. There is a person hero, Jeanne, who wants to see you. She says she wants to see you very much, on particular business." "Did she send in her card ?" "No. She says vou don't know her, but she begs you will not refuse to see her. "Have you seen her?" "Yes. Jansen showed her into the parlor. I should say she was a lady in spite of her extremely plain dress. " Begging for some charity, I suppose. Shall 1 tell her you are Bick ?'' "But I am not sick ; and I think 1 Bhould rather enjoy hearing about poor people and miserable people, just now. Aunt Hi lab. Send her in here, pleaso." "Knjry hearing about poor and miserable people! Jeanne Lenox, you are enough to make one a convert to the theory of original depravity." Misa Hildah thumped out of the room, and Jeanne, eett ng otr the bed, completed the coiiing of her hair just as the door opened to admit her visitor. Miss Hildah had opened it without ceremony, and, over tho strange woman's shoulders, was casting a severely warning look at Jeanne: "I have told tho lady, Jeanne, that we have fo many ca'ls on us from our own church that we rarely step aside for strangers." "Yes, Aunt Ilildah, but I will make my own statements, if you plea-e." Her visitor wa throwing back the hood to her waterproof, which she had drawn over her bonnet to protect it from the dry, powdery snow. She was looking at Jeanne w ith a etranpe intensity. She felt quite suro that the child had been shedding manv and bitter tears. "My dear," die said, "I have come here beg.'ing, but it is not for any church charity. I haro come here to leg your pardon, and if possible to right a great w rong I have helped to do you." "I -don't understand you. Who are yen?" It The bl iclc waterproof lay on the back of a chair now, and there stood revealed to Jeanne's eyes a majestic-looking woman, whose grave eyes were resting upon Ler with a 6ort of fistful pity. "I am Marianne Mackaye. Kandall Mackave'a w ife. And I want to be your friend." Jeanne put out a hand suddenly toward the mantelpiece. Sho needed something to lean upon. lu t her alight form was drawn to i 1 3 upmost height, and her pretty faco was turned defiantly upon Marianne. "Did your husband eend you here, Mrs.

Mackaye, to plead for him, the imposter? Has he' told you how he won the friendship of Jerome Lenox end his daughter?"

Marianne held up her hand command ing! v. "I think vou must let mo make things a little clearer. Miss I?nox. Then you will Bee that I came hero of my own accord with the earnest desire to serve you. He does not know 1 am here." "To eerve me." "To serve you. " Sit down, my child. I have suffered too much myself not to recognize the signs of it in others. I will not detain you long." Jeanne eat down in a strangely docile mood. There was something inexpressibly eocthing in this woman's low cultured voice, something imposing in her quiet self-possession. "You imaeine, do you not, my dear, that the world, all your world, will soon be wagging its head over Jeanne Lenox's folly. You imagine how the story of your giving your first girl's fancy (only a fancy, dear!) to a married man ," Here she was fiercely interrupted. "He is a wretch! Don't mention his name in my presence. 1 hate him! Oh, how I loathe hitnt" "I do not intend to insult you by mentioning his name any oftener than ia needful. It ia only because I feeh largely responsible for "your trouble that I dared come to you. I am here for your good, and yours alone. Miss Lenox, please believe" that', and hear me quietiy to the end." Jeanne's breast was heaving tumultuously, but she 'made a gesture for Marianne to proceed. "When I went away from my husband, with a view to teBting his ability for earnest effort, it was because wealthy patrons of art here in the city were beginning to notice him, und 1 imagined I was a draac on his ambition. Indeed, he told me so. I was net far-seeing enough to calculate some of the evil possibilities of giving him his lilertv. He had never been what is called a lady's man. In fact, I knew he was too self-absorbed ever to form a deep attachment for any woman. I believed he wanted his freedom as an artist and I gave it to him. Hut that his handsome face and smooth ways might ever prove a snare to others I had never thought, or, if I did, I put it away from mo as the foolish fancy of a jealous woman. For that result of my blindness I am hero to be your pardon and to make reparation. ... ., ;.... .. waVa" Jeanne asked, bitterly. Marianne looked at her with a wistful ßmile. "My dear, you have already found out that the only wound is to your pride. "es, I have; but that wound "Ir the ono I am here to heal." "Tiien be Quick about it. I am smart ing at every pore. I will diooi the Bhame of it." "What church do you attend?" Marianne asked, abruptly. Jeanne, wondering more and more at her own docility throughout this strange interview, gave the name and location of her church. "It is a large and fashionable one?" "Yes." "Your pew conspicuous?" "Yes." "inen, mv dear, l wish to accompany you to church tomorrow. Jeanne started and colored violently. l'onot ue airaid that you will ever have to recognize me afterwards," said .Marianne, proudly: out Here is a para graph I wish to have inserted in a society column on Monday. All the world, your world, will read it; and ad the world, your world, wiil w ag its wise head and eav ,e must have mace a mistakethere is nothing wrong there.' It will be a disappointment to them, for doubtless they think just now that thev have an unusually sweet morsel to roll under their tongues." "I wish I might know vou have vou for a friend. You must be strong, and good, and unselfish, or you never would have thought of sheltering me. For 1 am wicked desperately wicked." Marianne smiled down upon the troubled child with a sort of wistful tenderness. She was so young sind unsheltered "My dear," she said, "if a little white dove, who had been robbed of its brood ing mother, should tumble ignorantly from its f oft nest into the mud and mire of the roadside and 6oil its prettv wines. would you pass by on the other side and call tliat little white dove a desperately wicked thine' Jeanne put out both hands impulsively, "If I were like you. bhe Eaid, "1 sup pose 1 wou.d pics lue sidy thing up. smooth its soiled plumage and put it back in its nest. Tears were ehihins in her eyes. Marianne, drawing her close within the shelter of her arms, laid tho tired young head oa her shoulder. "And that is just what I want to do, my dear. It is only the plumage that is soiled, and mine be the hand to smooth it." It was a straneo scene, but one upon which the angels must have smiled. CHAPTER XXIII. Dr. Mi'ibank, obeying a summons from Mrs. Chiltern, who was afraid "Maria's sore throat was developing diphtheric fea tures," found the five ladies, who con Btituted what Dolly had irreverently called his "Home Guard," ia a tremend ous flutter about something. Maria's sore throat was almost lost sizht of entirely, and the doctor made his ex animation amidst a pleasant chatter o women's tongues. He was pelted with bits of information from five different points of the compass at once. Mrs. Chil tern led oll üv right ol seniority and ac knowledge! leadership: "A letter from Ado!phus, doctor. Th ey are turning their faces homeward. "Coming on the Umbria." "And Mrs. Mackaye is coming with them. Jeanne sava ehe is the best-known lady artist in Florence." "l'oor Mrs. Mackaye! Dolly pays phe persistently refused to appear in society at first, but you know he has been dead quit- two years now." "Xo!" Maria's ton gua was just loosed from the bondage Dr. Milbank had been holding it in lor professional purposes. "Two years next month." Maria prided herself on always being accurate. "Don't you know, it was the very day after Dolly and Jeanne were married that we read in the papers about his being killed in a runaway accident, and we all said, 'How shocking?' " "And. doctor, you have gotten us into business." I r. Milbank looked at Mrs. Chiltern with polite curiosity. His fancy had traveled half way across the ocean during Maria' lucid setting of everybody right, chronologically. It had flown to meet and to greet Marianne on her homeward way. "I hope I haven't got you into a troublesome sort of business," he eaid, smiling at Mr. Chiltern. "O!;, dear, no. You know if we do adore anything it is spending other people's money for them. Hut I mean" since we wrote Dolly and Jeanne about how beautifully ve had furnished your house for you, they seemed to think we have gona into the upholstering business permanently, and now they want, us to furnieh another house." "For them ? I thought they were g oing to live with Mr. Lenox." "For them? No indeed. Mr. Lenox told Adolphus, when he gave Jeanne to him, that if lie took her away from him he should commit suicide.

The way that poor woman, euuennir auu eumrung s she must have been 'herself, sheltered Jeanne from the faintest whisper of calumny was beautiful. "Beautifull" was echoed four times, softly. "Why, she actually maue me goBsips eel silly. She is a prand woman, Dr. Milbank. I wish you knew her. rerhaps I shall some day," said the doctor, with an inscrutable emilo. "Hut we are getting a long way irom the up holstery business, aren t we? "Miles!" said Maria, in a inicK voice. "Well, it is just this. . Jeanne and Adol phus are resolved oa doing a very pretty thing. And there's no reason why they should not. Mr. Lenox knows about it. and he wants to bear the entire expense, but that would not be fair to Adolphus. 'Not at all fair," the well-trained chorus echoed. They want ua to find an apartment, and, dear me! that is a trouble. It must be in a fashionable part of town ; have splendid light for Mrs. Mackaye to paint by; and must not be too large, lor sne will be by herself, excepting for servants. "I should think her lather would want to live with her.." "Father?" "Has she a father?" "How do you know, doctor?" "Where is he now?" "Who was she, doctor?" Dr. Milbank full- appreciated the tntetage to which Doily bad spent a life apprenticeship. It was dreadful to have to account for a careless remark to hve different women. "I'm Eure I don't know anything at all. I lust imagine:. I suppose, that she might have a father, do on, my dear Mrs. Chiltern ; I am deeply interested in this pretty little scheme of Dolly s and his wife's." "Well after we have found the im possible and secured the unattainable, wo are to furnish it according to our united tastes, without regard to cost "That is the nicest part of all. I adoro poking around in carpet stores." "And buying silver." "And brie n-br&c." "Only she is an artist' "And may have views of her own John Milbank was quite sure that the woman for whom this pretty surprise was to be prepared had views of her own. He sat caressing his close-cropped muttou chops absently while the discussion raged about him. "How long a time to do all this in?" he asked, suddenly waking up again. "Three miserable little weeks." "That is short." "Short! It is no time at all." "Suppose I were to tell you that I be lieve I know of an apartment which would suit your friend in every particular that is, perhaps; and that, as I would like to accommodate the owner, I shon'd esteem it a personal favor if you held this matter in abevance until she has examined these rooms, "Can we see them? Are they newly furnished ? "They are newly furnished and rather pretty. Hut as for your seeing them at present I can't say. The proprietor of the house occupies the parior floor. The suite I speak of is up onellight. I bhould think it embodied everything a lady would want. and if Mrs. Chiltern approves I could Bend her word when the rooms could be seen." Suddenly a bright idea struck hira. It would be absolutely necessary to täte one woman into ins confidence. "My coupe is at the door ; suppose you let me drive you there now, Mrs. Chiltern. It may save all of vou ladies a world of trouble." All five of them would have liked immensely to po on this tour of inspection, but as the coupe would only hold two, and the doctor had distinctly invited Mrs. Chiltern, the other four would have to bide their time. Mrs. Chiltern was gone about an hour. "When she came back there was a suppressed excitement about her which it was impossible not to notice. "Will they suit?" "To perfection ! They are superb." "And have you taken them?" "Subject to Mrs. Mackaye's approval," said Mrs. Chiltren, her eyes dancing in the most remarkable manner. "When can wu Bee them?" "Not until she comes. The proprietor is rather a peculiar man and seems to object to having the carpets trampled or er unnecessarily. And 1 don't blame him, for they are beautiful and delicate in tho extreme. Maria, the doctor says you are not to stir out of the house for the next ten days. My dear giris, now that this task has been providentially taken out of our hands we must give our attention to the reception for Jeanne and Dolly. Of course all the Hock woods and the Fosters and the Yerplanks must be invited. One of you take your pencil and tablet and the rest of you help me to think." Three weeks, after all, is a very small slice taken out of the year, but it seemed to Dr. Miibank that an unusually long period of time had elapsed between lh..t morning call of his at Mrs. Chiltern's and the moment when his man announced to him that there were two ladies come to look at the suite of rooms up.' tiire. Then for half a second be fell to trembling like a bov caught at a naughty trick. Hut Mrs. Chiltern had approved, and Mrs. Chiltern would make it all right. He could hear them walking softly about upstairs. With a nervous little laugh he Hung his head back defiantly, and. leaving his own parlor, eprang lightly up the stairs and opened the door to the Buite. They had just reached tho little alcove. Her hand was upon the bluevelvet portiere. She drew it back, and then leaned forward with an audible exkilt claraation. Kanaans masterpiece was there before her. "I don't understand what is this?" She turned her puzzled face over her shoulder. "Where Mrs. Chiltern had been standing John Milbank was standing, looking down into her faca, holding out his hands to her just as he had held them out to her on Tea Island, before he knew. "I have been tricked decoyed. Where am I? What doea this mean?' fche pointed to the statue. She could see Mrs. Chiltern's form silhouetted against the windows of the parlor which Ehe had just been expending her lavish encomiums upon. Three long rooms were between them. Close at hand stood tho only man she had ever really and understanding loved, and he was protecting, explaining, pleading, all In a voice of euch intense earnestness that she thrilled at the sweetne S9 of it, and turned her face from him that he might not read it too easily. "Hut this?" She pointed to the alcove where Love's Young Dream stood upon its pedestal. "I could not let it pass into profane bands, my love. It has been enshrined there almost as long as you have been enshrined in my heart. When I brought it here it was with no thought of this moment ever becoming possible,. Marianne. You believe that, do you not? I said to my heart, that no other woman could ever reign in it, and the cold marble that re. produced your features, my dear, pave me more pleasure than any other woman of flesh and blood could do.

There was no confusion, no reservations.

Kach knew that he and she had come into their own. "Do vou think you will take the suite, Mrs. Mackaye?" Mrs. Chiltern was no bungler. She had timed them accurately. She stood now looking innocently into Marianne's face. Provided " Dr. Milbank gave eager heed. "That there is a room for father. I came back to take care of him." "We have thought of that, too, haven't we, doctor And now that this house business is off my hands we mav as well drive home and dress for dinner." "I am not such a careless householder as you would make me out, said John Milbank, with a fleeting smile. "It ia usual to fix dates for occupation." "Tell him two weeks from toay. my dear. It is your only safeguard. I have known him for thirteen years, and I never knew him to yield a point." But Marianne had "views of her own. and it was not untii ßho had told Dr. Milbank every particular of tlxitlonely escape from Tea island and of her own ignorance of the danger she had involved herself and him in, that ehe con-ertei to fix the date for their marriage. the rxn. THEOSOPHY. A It I Kxpoundl in London by tim Xw 1'rlcitoti, Sir. Beaant. London Standard. Mrs. Besant delivered a lecture last eveDingon "Theosophv and Occultism." Mrs. Basant stated that theosophy came forward as holding the spiritual as opposed to the material conception of the universe, but declaring that it might l justified to the intellect and demonstrated to the reason. Humanity asked for something more than the outcome of agnosticism, which was that man climbed upward to fall back in the end; and in response to thi3 demand theosophy came with its message of lit and iniinorlality, showing that the universe was, indeed, a spiritual universe, that man was essentially spirit, and that that spirit was immortal, eternal, and imperishable, as well as uncreated. It said to agnostic science: "Man is an organism evolving new powers, new sciences, new things for investigation, and what yoa call 'unknowable' is only unknowable to many today, but which has been already investigated by a few, and is not beyond the reach of those who dare to tread uu unknown path." Having pointed out that the distinction between theosophy and occultism was that the latter was a branch of theosophy which belonged to the moro advanced iu theosophic science. Mrs. Besant added that, boyond this, theosophy alleged that there were different planes of life, thought, and being namely, the physical, or lower planes, and the spiritual, or higher planee, the latter being denominated "astro," "passional," "mental," and eo on. The lecturer referred at length to the evidences furniehed bv cases of hypnotism, clairvoyance, etc., of the existence of a spiritual or will power capable of moving matter, tiul went on to contend that what theosophists rewarded as the higher plane were eternal and imperishable. She also stated that one of the doctrines ot theosophy was that of reincarnation, it being held that the eternal spirit cause to the earth, encased itself in the human form, gathered human knowledge through the education of life, and when death ar rived, and the body was worn out, the im- i mortal principle of higher intelligence, or ' the spirit of man, passed through a period j of rest, and then returned once more to ' earth with the experience already gathered, enteiing upon a new course of human life, thus constantly accumulating mental and moral capacities bv an evolution as natural and orderly as the physical evolution, and ono that was necessary to explain the ditTerenccs in the inteliigt-nco and morality of man. Theosophy, s'ys eaid, further held that there wes a mental and moral as well as a physical heredity, and that there was a principle termed Karma, which n eant that as humanity sowed bo must it reap. At the close of the lecture a number of questions, written by members of the audience and banded to tho chairman, were answered by Mr. Hesant, whose replies may bo summarized r.s follows: The explanation of how man's want of all recollection of a previoui state of existerce was to be reconciled with a belief in a future stato of existence wm, roiirh'v tr-i-t the brain memory I elonud to a transient p?reouality. To tho Miiri-tioa vvi.et.er there was any knowledge derived from ascertained facts accessible to inquirers in proof of the doctrine of reincarnation, the answer was contained in the sutrzeation furnished by the immense dili'erences. morally and intellectually, between human beings, tho divergencies often existing in the case of twins, the numerous cases of infant genius in which there was knowledge such as could not have been acquired in the present state of existence. In reply to the question, "Are be:ists reincarnated, and if not, why not?'' tho answer was that the reincarnating principle passed through all the lower stages of existence, including tho minerai, the plant, and the brute, up to man ; that this was a process of differentiation, and that gradually this principle, which was general and universal, became individualized aa the physical apparatus became suitable for the manifestation. The reply to the question, "Does not theosophy destroy the intuition implanted by Ood in every individual?" was that it did not destroy, but rather trained that faculty. A question aa the origin and use of evil was broadly that evil was the persistence of the lower, or brute, nature in the lower planes of humanity. As to individual mind, origin, that was derived from the universal mind which, like light, pervaded the universe. With regard to the period of reincarnation, that varied according to tho stage of evolution reached by the individual. In reference to prayer, theosophists did not believe m prayer to anv "object outside humanity ; she preferred to put it, not as prayer, but aa the asp ration of a lower to a higher life. As to the theory of a personal Hod, if by this were meant an extra-cosmic Ood, distinct from the universe, and yet infinite, so unphiloeophic a conception was not part of tho theosophic theory. With reference to love, Mrs. Besant stated that she regarded love as the great moving force of tho world, but it needed wisdom to prevent its doing harm.
