I Thir friendship began in tha earl? dan oi int wireless ttlegraphj dtmonilnUoi oy Marconi. 1 ht only two of t large com pany of gabbling itudenu who agreed upon l ie gruuiiitneaa of certain ainipl piienomt.a ni hypnota, mental telepathy nd usge.tiun. Parker and Brtvoort drift. td aart itoin tha sniffers and commenced to knit from the tangled material, of tbtir dreamt, their .peculation and their oddly umereni leuiperamenta, that queer but un alterable friendship which endured without a break till poor Parker died. They became a. brother., forever delving into occult ram-itit-ationa of tcitnce, silent, inseparable, and mutually self-sacrificing. Hrevoort't room wa tha front haH of aa old loft on tht fourth floor of a .tore build ing just beyond tha umveraitv aettlainent and Parker lired in a tort of sentrv-boz in tht tower of a Mat building about a mile south in a direct lint from Hrevoort't place. Parker waa atudymg law and hu tnend waa in tht junior medical claw, but neither of them cared for rank or atanding, preferring to puraut knowledge along thus, devioua, cattering trail, that rirat lurt tht undieci plined minda of all imaginative student. t-arker, who had a knack oi modeling in clay, ut up a tort of Mudio in out corner of Itrevoort t barn like room, and there tht two friends spent moat of their indoor kit art, studying, smoking, chatting, experi menting, itrevoort in time came to bt mort deitrous tvulptor than hu fnand ami hit room txcanie populout with scorta of mora or leas artituc and accurate platter casta. Tht Lord knows just how thty started or how far they got Into the probings of tht mysteries of mental radiation.. They were in ine no tut of walking together for hours along tht lake short or in tnt park in ailent sinvemation. to to speak, each with hu keen mind tiled upon Uit other, each bent UHn projecting without words such miiidIi mewages as might reach the other's fallow consciousness. Then they discovered, or thought so, that them soundless waves of thought always seemed to travel best whtn txchanged while they faced each other with liack to north or south. That suggested tht ilea of new eiparinienlt, and very soon Parker in hi. little dormer tower facing tht lortn and Itrevoort in the south window of hit rookery were radiating short meaaaget uiat nad no meaning beyond tha undent ime proof ol all their previout turnin Hut when tht cords got wind of thtat weird doings they began to worry the friends. Itrevoort was proof against the young wumen, but Parker, who was a ten der-l. carted, impressionable fellow, fell in rovt with halt Caldaell, and made liar a sort ol tide partner in their psychical re searches. 1 he odd art of this was that her introduction into the affaire of the two tlu dents mailt no breach in their relation!. sua wnen poor l'arker fell tick with pnau munia Kate got a room in his boarding houst so that she could nurse him. Indead. llie had him moved from hi. draughty eyne in tnt tower, placed him la her own cosy 3hi and nerseii look possession of tht no try box. Itrevoort would rtlieve Kale tvery night ana tit up wiui his tailing ft lend, and be tween them they watched hunso as.iduously, .ost so mucn sleep and fretted so much that it last tney were obliged to give up all their umvei.iiy work and stand togctner, a forlorn hope, ag.iinst the advancing, mer ciless intruder, raiker was quite on scious lor a lew days before he died and to Itrevoort, bending over him, he reiteialed hia simple wi.net. lit wanted to be ere liated; he had no near relatives, so Katt mignt have some and llrevoort tht retl of lis dual. Mat waa to have hia hooka and .he furnishings of hia little room, and lire roort was to keep the utensils and tquip nientt of the studio. "You're a pretty good modeler now," whispered Parktr, tmding ghaatly. "Try your hand on a bust of me, takt a death niaea, win you: He died mat night with llrevoort and Kate holding his handt. His classmates carried hi. coihn to the furnace, and in the day. thereafter when they had reverently divided his aenes they tried to make a fair iivi.KMi of poor Parker's mighty share of lovt and loyalty for ti. cm bold. Hut tt waa nearly a week after his going that they set apart for eacn day a tune wnen they might resume tneir elptnmentl. Tht death mask was dune. It stood ghostly in llrt foort's closet, and WimUi it in a tiny wood en box the handful ol asuea of tneir trielid. Kate had taken possession of tne little sen try box, and upon Ha narrow mantel shelf in a little silver jewel box lay tht relict of ner loat lover. Tht morning of tht first day after thtir renewed efforts to eichange nissssji t thty met on itie camput. "Did you get any message" tbt aaked, frowning ietulantly. "No," he answered, looking furtively ovar hit upturned collar; "what was it?" "I anked you to come over," her lip waa trembling, "queer, we never failed before " "Ves.itisquecr." Ttien.afteraii awkward pause, "1 say, Kate, did you notict any thing wmle you were .ending that message? "No o. Tliat is, not just then. I had that little hoi of his ashes in my hand when 1 said 'come over.' 1 don't know whert 1 laid it afterward, but 1 can't find it." They were silent for a moment, but be fore tney parted ht laid a nervous hand on her slet-ve and said: "Weil tiy it again to-night at tight. This lime 111 send the uie.it.ige." "All rig'it," .he wnnpertd, without look ing at him. and darting into the hall. Hut wnen tney met again next morning anil he asked her, ht-mtatingly: "Ihd you git my meswigr, KaUi?" tht looked up frightened to hear him call her "Kate," and then quu kly answered: "No, Mr Itrevoort " "Did anything odd fiapen whilt you were sending your meeaage?" she asked, let ting her eyes stray apprehensively over her pallid face. "We, Mine Caldwell," and ht laughed pitiluliy witn a note of tiled mockery in his Voice. "Vrs, a very alilioyu.g thing hapjniud. Just s.
