Another sjxu, and had ai'teu In diver
ways, and what had appeared to him
on the morrow to he a mi or
niRhtniare was nothing less than a
reality. His onl regret was that his
train had no cunti'ui over liu- iloinps
of his spirit whilst his body slept.
He Insisted on dreaming about me
one night, and got me to promise to
keji wake and look out for him. I
(tot a nasty cold by keeping the win
dow open, but he never came neither -In
substantial nor shadowy form to
the best of my knowledge. But he
c.iiue the next morning in person and
appeared to be mightily pleased with
himself. !
Well, old boy?" he said, as If he
expected me to say something pleas

"No. I'm not well," I thundered, "I've
a liquidised probocU through your
tomfoolery." !
"Wha at?" he queried. "W'by, 1
thought it worked finely. I can swear
in a court of law 1 dreamt about you,
a nil I distinctly remember speaking
to you." I
"Get any answer?" r aaked, cvnic
ally. ' ;
"My dear fellow, we were chatting
together for more than half an hour.
Why I remember It as well as any

Johnson t;. ,;Jeu, with the air of a
Ji.au w hu had done something great, j
"How Ions did you lie awake?" he
Questioned. I
' Like the blithering Idiot that I
v ..-," I informed him, "I did not shut
my eyes until after one o'clock al-
though I got to bed at half-past ten.".
"Awf'ly sorry, old chap." he said.i
apulu; :..ally. "but I don't think If

in ust try again." j
I shook my head very decisively.
"'I'm not j-oing to get another run
ning nasal organ for anyone," I as-'
-rted. j
' As a friend" he began. I
"No friend would wish mo to po to
the expense of purchasing extra hand !
Kerchiefs."
"You see." explained the theorist.!
the business didn't thoroughly work
--e.vejK in my own case. I'm uite
i.isned that I or part of me came,
mi mais not enougn; i want you to
In hold me.
I quoted a passage I learnt when an
lafint, and wiiich I said I always acted
tip to:
"Be the matter what It may
Always 8f:eak the truth;
If at work cr if at play
Alwab sji'-ak the truth."

"To prove, the caao once for all," he

I ufcolittelj re-fused.
Don t bo so excessively skeptical !

i "Then will it fly to my rooms by thor

then we will ace."
"If I don't come by half-past one," I
..iid. sceptically, "don't sit up forme."
"You you'll try and tome, won t
you?" lie pleaded. I never saw him loo::
juore anxious.
"Hut how how ehall I be dressed?"
1 atked, anxiously.
"Don't be Silly. Mo one can see your

"Hut I fhall be Jolly cold, dressed like
'--ifcat, ihan't I? I'm not Kiuir to get

"You silly fellow," he explni tied, "why,

It's only yc - mind, an It were, that'.,

"Hut how--iuiw nhhil you know me?"
1 aiiked, somewhat uncertain. "Uiok

"To the outsider you will be invl

man the spirit for what it looks liln
might be 'non est.' There Is nothing to

"And yet It's I all the time?" 1 said
w ith a huge laugh, which dlsconcertei
Johnson. "Hut how shall you know
me?"
"I shall expect you. It Is mind to
mind. Our minds will work In unison
and your thoughts will be my thoughts
I shall keep my whole energy transfixed
upon your coming. I shall speak with
you. and you will reply."
"Then it is usual for a spirit to hrliu
his throat and lungs with him. Is It?" 1
queried, incredulously. "I say it will
look bi.istly funny to see a throat and a
set of lungs waltzing about, won't li?"
"You're frivolous." he chasti.-eii mi
with. "You do not s the possibilities "
"I see the impossibilities, though." I
ventured. "First of all. as I a.d.ed !

Joan.-on agreed.
"It'ts a bargain," he said. "I ahall bt

"Good." I said. "I'll come of course,

He called round the next morning,
looking inmit disappointed, however.
"You you never came," he said
sulkily, "and 1 left the door wide open
all night for you."
I assured him that, aa far as I could
say, a portion of me had called upon
