First
Prof. Crosby, on tils way to visit a
friend In tha country, meets Mia Tabor,
whom he had met at a Christmas nouiie
party tha winter before. An accident to
the trolley car leaves thorn stranded near
the Tabor home, where they are made
welcome, but under peculiar conditions.
During the night Crosby Is asked to leave
the house, Miss Tabor saying goodbye
to him and re-juestlng him not to call
again. At the tun he learns that Tabor
Is concerned In some way with a burly
Italian, named Caruccl. When he goes i-n
to his friend's home, he finds Miss Tabor
also a guest there, and Just as they are
Retting on well together, she is taken
away by Dr. Ucld, whom Crosby after,
wards lenrna Is a brother-in-law of Miss
TaDor. having wedded her sister Miriam,
who Is now dead. The mystery of the
Tabor household Is increased, though,
when Crosby gets a hasty call to go with
Miss Tabor on a mysterious mission to
the -cltj , where he rescues Mrs. Caruccl,
who is .Sheila, Miss Tabor's nurse, fro.n
the effect of a brutal attack by her huu
band Plans are laid to get rid of the
Italian, by sending htm out of the coun
try, to relieve Mrs. Tabor of his presence.
Mr. Tabor tells Crosby his wife has never
been qulto well since the death of her
daughter. Maclean, a newspaper reporter,
aids Crosby In gaining admission to a
spiritualistic seance, where the dead
daughter Is supposed to be "materlal-
Iictl." After the Beanco Crosby discovers
Dr. Reld and a stranger drugging Caruc
cl. Intending to have him "ahnnehnUd"
aboard and outgoing steamer. He make
an enemy of Reld by interfering. A call
.comes irom xaoor, telling nun tnat mm.
Tabor has suddenly Krone alonn to thn
Vity, and asking Crosby to look aftjr
n cr. no aucceeas in locating ner, and win
nesses a strange interview between Mrs.
Tabor and a man who turns out to be
Dr. Paulus, a celebrated alltnlst. Crosby
and Sheila get Mrs. Tabor back home,
and there Crosby meets Misa Tabor for
an Interview that promises to lend to th.
clearing up of the mystery. They con-
icss meir mutual tove, ana agree to work
together for Mrs. Tabor's recovery.
Crosby meets Dr. Reld, and they settle
down for an explanation. After discuss
ing the situation fully, Crosby returns to
the city, where he meets McLean, nnd
together tbey go to attend another
seance, wnere they encounter Mrs. Tabor.
The usual phenomena aro presented,
table-lifting and the like, and then the
'spirit" of "Miriam" appears again, and
Mrs. Tabor questions It. In the midst of
proceedings Crosby switches on the lights
and Mrs. Tabor faints. The medium Is
furious, but Crosby calls his bluff, and
has Mrs. Tabor cared for, when Mr. Tabor
appears. He takes Mrs. Tabor home,
while Crosby goes to consult with Dr.
Pauius. to determine If the nature of
Mrs. Tabor's hallucination Is such as
leaves any hope for cure. Dr. Paulus
agrees that the visits to the seances have
been a contributing cause to Mrs. Tabor's
condition, and when they Join the family
they havo a general consultation as to
what action should bo taken. Crosby
suggests they get hold of the medium
and try to make her confess her fraud.
Dr. Paulus succeeds In arettlna-' Mrs.
Mahl, the medium, to' Visit the Tabdr
nome, ana TaDor, Crosby, Raid and
Paulus enter Into a conversation with
her, leading; up to the proposed "ma
terialising" seance. Mrs. Mahl is in
clined to be recalcitrant. Some little per
suaElon is used, and she contents to un
deceive Mrs. Tabor. A "seance" Is ar
ranged, and "Miriam" la called up. At
the proper time Mrs. Mahl explains to
Mrs, Tabor how she has been deceived.
The explanation is a success, and Mrs.
Tabor faints. Dr. Paulus takes her In
charge, and soon revives her, arranging
to she will see only her own when sha
returns to consciousness. Mrs. Tabor's
first qeustlon on recovering is for the
doctor.

It is Impossible to describe the convinc
ing strength of the man as he stood
towering among us; the very compellent
force of his Individuality was reflected in
the dawning belief-In Mrs. Tabor's eyes.
Like a child she laid her little hand In
the doctor's great one.
"I am going to try, doctor," she said.
"I see that I have been sick, but with
all you dear people I shall get well."
And for the first tlm h
doctor's face nnd turned to the rest of
us who had drawn a little apart, but as
they met mine their exnreaslnn rhnnr.j
and a flicker of the old terror came Into
them, a terror that was reflected In my
own heart.
"George," she asked sharply, "what Is
Mr. Crosby doing here?"
"Why, my dear" Mr. Tabor atnm.
mered.
"I know. I remember now." She stag
gered to her feet, and the old terror xenj
upon her face. "I meant to tell you
about it. Mr. Crosby has not been hon

and" She broke off suddenly, looking
quickly from one to another of our
startled faces. "What is the matter with
you all?" she cried; then In that level,
hollow tone we had loaned to fear. "I
see now. Tou know you havo known all
along; and that was the secret you were
keeping from me."
No one spoke. She lookt. a

Out from The Vicarage, fitockton-on-Lees,
Scotland, there comes tha follow
ing letter to me, written In the Christmas
season:
"I am sending

mas. "MARY MARTIN,"
The' "heathenish sentiment ' Mary Mar
tin enclosed was a quatrain written by
me several years ago. It reads as fol
lows: So mflny gods; so many creeds;
So many gods; so many creeds;
Ho many ways that wind and wind;
While just the art of being kind
Is all the sad world needs.
I do not know who Mary Martin Is.
Dougtless she Is the wife or the daughter
of the vicar at Stock-on-Lees,
On can only breathe a little prayer of
pity and sorrow for the poor souls who
are obliged to listen to the theology
which emanates from that vicarage.
it must be filled with threats of Uod't
anger at all who "fell through Adam's
sin," and It must breathe much more of
the flames of hell than of the eweet
winds of heaven.
It must indeed bo very old-fashioned,
very unwholesome, very dreary and
dreadful theology to havo educated a
woman's mind in such a narrow and
bigoted rut as Mary Martin's mind shows
itself to be In this letter.
The quatrain was written because of
tho consciousness in the writer's, mind
of the need upon the earth today of the
simple religion of klndness-a religion
which, If practised hourly In the home.
In the business mart, In the social world
and In the churches, would banish crime,
discord and gloom from the hearts of
men.
The old-fashioned theologies have had
their day. They must go. They caused
bloody wars; they put upon the torture
rack; they burned at the stake; they
boiled in kettles of oil; they slowly
starved those who would not believe as
the leaders of these theological schools
believed,
Kuch cruel and loveless religions have
done more to bring suffering and sorrow
upon the earth than all other causes com
bined. More blood has flown, more com
munities been devastated, more lives
have been sacrificed at the command of
bigoted minds. In the name of religion'
than through greed, lust' of power and
desire of gain all united.
Thla Is a highly spiritual age. But Its
spirituality is not doctrinal.
Everywhere in tha churches and with
out the churches, souls are craving for
the creedless religion; the religion of
iractlcal kindness; the religion of love,
hope, helpfulness, the lelltlon of wllllns

such a religion, nourished in the heart
and expressed In the dally Ufa. that the

today that tho wcond coming of the

j surely expecting His faithful ones to
understand the law of kindness,
For Just the art of being kind is all
the sad world needs to carry out the new
! commandment
We recommend the following venrs to
Mary Martin In plaeo of her dretry
theology: ,
Thinking of Christ, and hearing what
men say
Anent His second cominr, some near day,
Unto the Me of me, I turned to ask:
What can we do for Him, and by what
task
Or through whut sacrifice can we pro
claim Our mlghtty love, and glorify His name?
Whereon ' Myself replied (thinking of
Christ),
Has not God's glory unto Him sufficed?
What need has He of temples that men
raise?
What need has He of any songs of praise?
Not sacrifice or offerings needs lie.
(Thinking of Christ, so spake Myself to
mei.
The rivers from the mountain do .not try
To feed the source from which they gain
supply.
They pay their debt by flowing on and
down,
And carrying comfort to the field and
town.
They scatter Joy and beauty on their
course
In gratitude to the Eternal Source.
- Fashioned Theologies.
I And thus should wo (thinking of Christ)
bestow
The full sweet tides of love that through
us flow
Upon nnith's weaker creatures. To the
less
Must tlow the greater, would we lift
nnd blrss.
Christ is tha Mountain Source; each heart
a river;
The thirsting meadows 'need us not the
Giver.
Thinking of Christ, let us proclaim His
worth
Hy cruclous deeds to. mortals on this
earth;
And while we wait His coming let u
bring ' .'
Sweet Jove and pity to the humlest
thing.
And show our voiceless kin of air and
sod .
Tho mercy of the Universal God.
Not. hy long nlayr, though pnrjers re
new our Krace;
Not by tall spires, though stetplcs have
their plaoe!
Not by our faith, though faith Is Glor
ious
Can we prove Christ; but by tho love
In us.
Merpy nnd love and wlndn.s; seek these
three.
Thus (thinking of Christ) Myself said
unto me.

you ura an individual and that It Is not
