Masson was night telegraph operator
ut a small station on the Illinois Cen
tral ltnllroad between Chicago and
New Orleans. In a locality where pint;
forests modllled the air with a Ionic
of balsam lor hurt lungs and tin' dry.
Handy soil furnished a chance for open
air exercise. Masson owned a good
horse anil at hours when he was duty
free lie rode his race for HIV with zest
uiid satisfaction. Kike all consump
tive: his spirits increased as his Health
declined, and he saw with feverish in
tensity a long vista of future pros
perity. Something peculiar in the mental
make-up of the young operator was
liolli ink-resting and battling to new
acquaintances, but It was merely the
expression of a cult which Is not yet
one of the exact sctetices. but which
has immense undeveloped possibili
ties. Italph Masson was a student of
psychic phenomena, a linn believer in
telepathy and an ardent Investigator
into every new occult theory, lie was
himself a hypnotist, possessing a na
tural gift, cultivated and developed by
Hliuly and practice. At Harvey Sta
tion he had small opportunity to Im
prove this faculty, hut there was one
family living a lew mile down the
lino where he found a willing convert
to his peculiar views, and what was
more Important a valuable subject to
carry them out successfully.
Margaret Lansing, n girl of elgl
teen, became Infatuated with the
strange new power and gave Mii-mmi
Iter intelligent co-operation when til an
evening entertainment at iiu Utile dis
trict schoolhouse, before lie went on

liypnotlc sleep. Her family and
friends were present and gave their
consent, looking upon It as a part of
the evening's entertainment and see
ing nothing serious In the perform
ance. They were merely uinucd and
incredulous when, laying his hand on
lier forehead with a light torn-It, lie
finld:
"Go over to the station, go into (he

the test would be of no value. She
'dhl not respond quickly, and lie re

gested Masson, who was deadly pale
and much excited.
The Investigating parly soon re
turned, for I hey hail met u posc
which had surprised the n.Mcrs at
their work. The men Ihey had cap
tured were two tramps who were ex
actly as the glil had described them.
No one was more astonished than
Masson himself, or more overjoyed,
for it demonstrated as a fact the
power that he feared might be fiction.
When on other occasions lltilpli
Masson followed up Ibis feat by oth
er quite as wonderful, employing
Margaret Lansing as a subject, her
family objected. They argued that it
would Injure her health, possibly
wreck her nerves, and that nothing
good would result from dabbling In
mysteries., Masson was greatly disap
pointed, for lie felt that the success
of a great discovery depended on the
girl. What might he not accomplish
by her assistance? He might teach
her to read the stars, to fathom the se
crets of itillnllude! And here lie found
himself unable to cope wttli the tlrst
edict of parental authority.
Tlie parents were undoubtedly right.
They saw on their daughter's part an
other kind of Infatuation, a growing
fondness for this young man whose
days were numbered. Science wuh
nothing when put in the scales with
their love for their child. Masson ap
pealed to Margaret Lansing as a sick
man always appeals to a healthy, sym
pathetic woman. First, pity, then
love. He who has brutal health can
never know thu sweet recompenses of
weakness. Your robust man has no
charm compared to the pleading love
of an Invalid. Italph had said to Mar
garet that lie could hypnotize her at a
distance.
"I can bring you to me at any time
by calling you and willing you to
come. II will be impossible for you
not lo obey me."
She had smiled Into his bright, com
pelling eyes with a faith and belief
that were sublime, and held herself
in readiness to go like a bird of the
air when he called her. but unfiling
came of It. for he had tried and
failed. His mind could not control
hers by any distant treatment, nud lie
had never been able to reach her by
either telepathy or hypnosis.
One night when Masson was on duty
at his station he received a telegram
from Unwllns, ten miles down the
Hue.

The young operator fell an uncon

made every nerve tingle and vibrate.
He was speaking aloud, although alone
in his otllce.
"Margaret! Margaret! Margaret!
