Copyright, 1C0S, by Charles VT. Hooka CHAPTER I. THE rROBLEM. HAVE known Donald Donaldson, Jr., ever , since he was born; Indeed. I may say, much longer. There is an entry about him in my diary under date of March 10, 1877, and that is about four years before he saw the light and nearly two years before I first heard of either of his parents or they of each other. In plain words, he was an ideal of mine, a subject of speculation and study, a dweller in my brain before he had an actual existence, so that he might be a tenant of my heart. It is stagul.'jr that two romances,, many mysteries and a very startling tragedy should hang upon so small and commonplace a peg as this which I shall show you. Twenty odd years ago I made an appointment with Stephen Hackett, then my partner and since deceased, to meet him in a New York bookstore, choosing the place simply because it was ouvenient- I was ahead of him and of the hour, indeed, and while waiting I took up a volume entitled "Psychic Marvels," by an English writer whom 1 now perceive to have been both credulous and mendacious,, a man to believe a good lie and improve it in the telling. In those days, however, I had read little, and the book appealed to me as a scientific presentation of a subject of great interest and importance too often shunned by practical men and left to be the sport of impostors. When Hackett arrived, I was sitting on top of a small stepladder on rollers, a device common in bookshops, while two polite clerks were vainly endeavoring to gain my attention for the purpose of telling me that the business of the establishment was suffering for lack of that ladder. 1 bought "Psychic Marvels," and we devoted the evening to it, Hackett and I. in the library of my house in Tunbridge, N. J. Now, if you please, that was the cause of Donald Donaldson. Jr. If I had not suggested the bookstore as a place of meeting, if that particular volume had not caught my eye, perhaps even If the stepladder had not been placed handily for me to sit upon, there would be no story for me to tell. But some one built the store, and some J one wrote the book, and some one else was the father of the author, and an- j other was his grandfather, and so on back to the monkey who was the ancestor of them all, not to go further. Tracing causes is a famous old amuse ment of our race, though we know already that the whole past of the universe is the cause of every blade of grass, even as that blade itself is an essential prop of the whole future. It is a worthy effort, however, to see as much of this vast skein as we can, and he Is wisest who sees most, provided that he does not fancy that he sees all which exists even in the small portion that is under his eye. To resume my story, Hackett and I spent a studious evening with 'Tsychic Marvels," sitting up so late that neither of us was fit for business on the following day, and we were led to read many other books and to engage at last in a practical, common sense investigation of an interesting subject. The firm of Hackett & Harrington manufactured carpets still does so, in fact and keeps the name, though my partner long since closed his earthly account and went to, meet another which conld not have been one to shame him. I hope my own may be as good, for It must soon be closed. Tunbridge people began to call me "old" John Harrington a matter of teu years ago. However, in the days of which I am now writing I was a young man of forty-two, and Hackett was not much older. We had made a good bit of money in our business, and both of us had been fortunate in outside investments, so that we felt very secure. The time had come when we might afford to relax the pressure under which we had labored since boyhood and to take more ease and pleasure in the world. But the opportunity to enjoy Is one thing and the power is an - other. I had little appetite for amuse - menis, ana uacKeri uau none. were uneducated men, with narrow sociai interests, ana. to oe urier aDout u, we really did not know what to do with ourselves. Unlike many others in the; same situation, however, we knew what was the matter with us we needed mental exercise. This decision we naa reacnea oeiore me iignsnmau a book fell into our hands and offered - . . m 1 . w i l an acceptable suggestion. If we had not chosen to investigate psychic phenomena, the hidden wonders of the hu man mind, we should have followed: some other line, with a less definite result perhaps. It would be singular It two trained business men. with thoroughly practical minds, accustomed from their youth to deal with hard facts, should fail to accomplish anything in such an undertaking. We approached the subject without prejudice. When we discussed the matter in the light of the blazing logs in my library, Hackett would b the skeptic on a Tuesday evening and I on a Wednesday. We never agreed

7 By HOWARD FIELDING differed. We decided to base our work upon the wisdom of the old proverb which says, "First catch your rabbit, and then cook him." There is no doubt whatever that nearly all mankind have tried to cook this particular rabbit be fore catching him. Suppose we take the psychic problem in its simplest form, which used to be called clairvoyance, and 1 still think that that is the best term for it. Is there upon record one single genuine case of it. proved beyond doubt? Hack ett and I read fifty books and failed to find an Instance based upon such evidence as we would accept in our business. Yet whore there is so much smoke there must be a little fire. and. using this crystal of popular wisdom as a touchstone in the matter. I would be willing to assert that one ten millionth of the labor wasted in base less discussion of doubtful facts would have sufficed lo give the world enough genuine facts to satisfy all candid minds. Have patience with me: I am get ting the philosophy of the subject out of the way as fast as I can. The es sential point is that Hackett and 1 went out to catch a real rabbit in oth words, a human being who had had a genuine "supernatural" message. We did not care where it came from or what it was about or how it was transmitted so long as it could be proved that it came and that no known organ of this mortal body could have enabled the individual to receive it When I was a boy, I used to hunt rabbits In a piece of woods which was supposed to be a particularly good place for them. All youthful hunters went there, and as a result (visible to me in these tuuture years) all sane rabbits had gone over into another county. One day, when the snow had come and the rabbits had put on their winter coats, some jester set up the corpse of a white cat in the edge of the woods in an absurdly conspicuous position. I saw it and blazed away, though my common sense should have told me that it could not be a rabbit because such a preposterously reckless rabbit would have been shot long ago. Yet I wasted my powder, and. having done so. I set the creature up again in the same place, and every mother's son that came that way exercised his marksmanship so long as there was anything to shoot at. And next day, in a different spot, but equally conspicuous, the joker played the game once more. I remember that for a long time afterward all the boys were ashamed to be seen going into that piece of woods with a gun. It took Hackett and me about a year to discover that genuine psychics are not found in the edge of the woods beside the beaten path; that it is hard to find them even when one knows where they are, for they lie low, and, like the rabbits, they imitate the natural color of the surroundings. You may accept this as a general rule: When your fellow man takes you by the button of your coat and leads you into a corner to tell you of a prophetic dream or a mysterious psychic message, he does not believe the story himself. Perhaps he may be trying to believe it, but no one has to try to believe in a real experience Of that kind after he has had lt4 He knows. And the chances are good that he will not talk of it to his closest intimate. It is ever the element of doubt that leads to talking. Our hobby gave to Hackett and me an excuse for study, an aim in travel and an opportunity of meeting cultivated men and women. As it was an elected hobby ana not the result of congenital mental distortion, we rode it calmly and were never mistaken for cranks except by cranks. It is true that some of our earlier experiences were more or less absurd, but we were saved from serious error by the busi ness man's faculty of turning from the impracticable to the practical. When we encountered an impostor, we promptly charged him up to "profit and loss" and passed on to the next item It was wlj engaged in a fruitless J tnoUgh not uninteresting investigation , in Boston that we came quite by accident upon the most important information We made tne acquaintance of a vounr nhvsician-named Hnrold Whit. ln who wag the d is tod of thA mns hnnoai. tA mfln tn world. I believe that Whiting would not lie even to himself, and there are M M . . 9 ja TT ( tew ui wliolu bo mucn can oe saiu. tie was amusing himself with experiments in the matter of peculiar capacIUes and knowledge exhibited by persons in the hypnotic state, but confessed that he had found no facts upon which con elusions of any importance could be based. We discovered that his thought had been turned Into this channel by a remarkable occurrence which he had wit nessed, but we had considerable diffi culty in persuading him to say any thing more upon the subject. It appeared that he was under some sort of pledge in the matter. "There Is a friend of mine, now in New York," said he, "who received a psychic message from his brother, who was then upon the other side of the

was received. I know the story In all its details, but I cannot give you the facts nor tell you the man's name because I gave him my word that I would not disclose them." i V Perceiving our disappointment, he expressed sincere regret, and by way of atonement he gave us the name of a young woman in New Haven whom it might be worth our while to see. "I received a letter about her some time ago from an instructor in psychology at Yale, an old friend of mine," said he. "My friend and several other members of the faculty are investigating the case, and they regard it as genuine and important. The girl's name is Dorothy Vaughn. She is an orphan and lives with her aunt, Mrs. Kustls. who has had certain occult experience" herself, as I am told." He gave us the address of Mrs. Eustls and the name of his friend. His reference to the fact that unusual powers appeared both in the aunt and the niece led to a general discussion of the restriction of such powers and their persistence in families. No one who has given the subject any study can doubt that these traits are handed down from generation to generation. Often a vague family tradition leads back to the true psj'chic whose powers, weakened by admixture with a common strain, reappear to flicker uncertainly In the present day. Hackett seemed to find much material for thought in this conversation. He did not contribute largely to it, being a man of a slow mind and of few words, but some daj-s later, while we were on the way to New Haven, he

suddenly emerged from a reverie to say: "I wonder what would happen if two of them should marry?" When I had found out what he was talking about, I agreed with him that the experiment would be very interesting if there were any way of makng it. Hackett suggested that we should forward into the smoking car, ar.d when we were there and he had smoked a part of a long cigar he said: "I don't see why there isn't." I replied with the argument that two persons of opposite sexes, possessing powers now commonly called occult. must be naturally antipathetic, so that a marriage between them could not be brought about, for, if this were not so. the whole human race would have become "psychics" long ago. The clair voyant power, not to go further in the matter, is an obvious and great advantage and would certainly have been utilized by evolution to the extent of crowding from the earth all other kinds of men unless nature had set up some sort of barrier, and where should we look for it except in the realm of that attraction which we call love? As we were running into the station at New Haven, Hackett remarked that there might be something in what I had said. "I'm sorry, too," he added, "for it seemed to me as if I had an idea." As a matter of fact this idea had long been in my mind, and at intervals during the space of nearly two years I had jotted down notes in my diary regarding an imaginary child whose parents should both be psychics, but I had never discussed the subject with Hackett His idea of this experiment in heredity was therefore entitled to the credit of an independent discovery, CHAPTER II. cpo: THE mother's side. M It. BURNHAM, the instructor to whom Dr. Whiting had referred us, proved to be a pleasant fellow, well worth meeting, but we had no sooner made known our errand than he became much disturbed. "A most unfortunate thing has happened," he said. "Since the date of my letter to Dr. Whiting Mrs. Eustis has died. Miss Vaughn Is in deep grief and in a very trying position, too, poor child. Her aunt left nothing but debts, andwell, some of us are trying to see what we can do for her. She hasn't a penny or near relative in the world, and nobody seems to be comIt xoas an prdinary cabinet photograph Ing forward to help her except us, and we're men, you see, and it's very em barrassing. She isn't the sort of girl to take help from any one, and it looks as if it might end by her taking up some confounded occupation that she isn't fit for. We are all very blue about It."

House Passes Statehood Bill After a Prolonged Discussion. ! TERRITORIES COUPLED Joint Statehood of Oklahoi Indian Territory and Arizona and New Mexico. The Former Will Bear the Name of Oklahoma, the Latter of Arizona. Washington, April 20. After a debate extending through the entire sea. sion the house has passed the bill providing for joint statehood of Oklahoma and Indian Territory under the name of Oklahoma, and of Arizona and New Mexico under the name of Arizona. In discussing the rule which had been reported by the committee on rules, providing for immediate consideration of the bill, Mr. Williams, the minority leader, declared that no Republican had any. idea that the bill would become a law at tills session. Delegate Wilson of Arizona opposed the bill. It was favored by Delegates Rodey of New Mexico and McGuIre of Oklahoma. The question of additional accommo dations in the way of office and com mittee rooms occupied the attention of the senate the greater part of the day. The s -bject arose in connection with the provisions in the sundry civil appropriation bill, one for an exten sion of the east front of the'capitol building in accordance with sketches left by Architect Walters, and the oth er for an outside senate office and committee building. Much variety of opinion was expressed. Pennsylvania Mining Town. In Hands of Armed Men. Somerset, Pa., April 20. An out break even more disastrous than the riot at Boswell last January has been hourly expected at the town of Garrett, the scene of the mining operations of the Garrett Coal company, the Somerset Coal company and other lesser operations. Trouble has been brewing there ever since the inauguration of the miners strike five months ago. A number of the striking miners at Garrett own homes there, but recently the Garrett Coal company erected a number of houses, and the bringing of new men to occupy these houses and take the places of the workers In the mines has worked the latter up to a high state of excitement and resentment, and for the last few days the town has been a veritable mine of indignation. The strikers have been parading the streets openly armed, and they have prevented the moving of the household goods of in coming miners from the railroad station to the new company houses. A horror that may or may not be connected with the strike situation at Garrett, was the burning to death of two women and four children in their home at that place. The origin of the fire is unknown, but rumor connects it with the troubles growing out of the miners' strike. The strikers lay the origin of the fire to a number of Italians who are working for the Garrett Coal company, but what motive the foreigners could have for such a crime has not developed. Strikers armed with Winchester rifles paraded the streets yesterday. They say this demonstration is to prevent the Italians from leaving the community before the coroner's inquiry has been completed. The recent marriage of a couple of cripples, each having only half the proper comple ment of arms and legs, was noted by the press as a " connubial curios ity." But who notes the marriages which occur daily in which both parties are cripples in health. Crippled health means, as a rule, insufficient nutrition. and lack of nutrition points to disease of the stomach and digestive and nutritive tract. Doctor Pierce's Golden Medical Dis covery cures diseases of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition. It enables the perfect nourishment of the body, and so builds it up in sound health and strength. I had been a great sufferer from indigestion for the last nine years,' writes Mrs. Margaret Stingle, of Owing Mills. Baltimore Co., Md. I was such a wreck it seemed death was near, but to-day can say I feel like another woman. I have received much and lasting good from Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and 4 Favorite Pescription. I have taken twenty-five bottles in all, and followed the advice of Dr. R. V. Pierce, and am happy to say that life is worth living? now. A thousand thanks for your treatment."
