Santoris stood looking down upon him kindly. "It would not be safe for you," he answered "The remedy is a sovereign one if used very rarely, and with extreme caution, but in uninstructed hands it is dangerous. Moreover, it would not agree with Dr. Brayle's medicines." "You really and truly think Brayle an impostor?" "Impostor is a strong word! No!

There was nothing for me now but to wait with faith and patience for the next step forward a step which I felt would not be taken alone. And I listened with interest while Mr. Harland put his former college friend through a kind of inquisitorial examination as to what he had been doing and where he had been journeying since they last met. Santoris seemed not at all unwilling to be catechised.

Fortunately for the general peace of society, however, most passers-by are not gifted with the sight to see the involuntary display." "You speak in enigmas," said Harland, impatiently "And I'm not good at guessing them." Santoris regarded him fixedly. His eyes were luminous and compassionate. "The simplest truths are to you 'enigmas," he said, regretfully "A pity it is so!

Santoris, is an excellent host and has no sinister designs on his friends." "Are you quite sure of that?" and Brayle, with an elaborate show of courtesy, set chairs for his patron and for me near Catherine "Derrick tells me that the electric appliances on board his yacht are to him of a terrifying character and that he would not risk passing so much as one night on such a vessel!" Mr.

And Harland looked as he evidently felt, keenly interested. "Ah, that's asking too much of me!" laughed Santoris. "You may be satisfied, however, that it's not through defrauding my neighbours. It's comparatively easy to be rich if you have coaxed any of Mother Nature's secrets out of her.

Brayle, "we should attain the millennium!" "Are you sure of that?" queried Santoris. "Would it not rather depend on the particular choice each one of us might make? Some men desire to be thieves even murderers and become so but the end of their desires is not perhaps what they imagined!" "Can you read people's thoughts?" asked Catherine, suddenly. Santoris looked amused.

In the same way he should take care of his health so that he may avoid being a troublesome invalid, dependent on others' compassion. To be ill is to acknowledge neglect of existing laws and incapacity of resistance to evil." "You lay down a very hard and fast rule, Mr. Santoris" said Dr. Brayle "Many unfortunate people are ill through no fault of their own."

Harland gave a slight, incredulous gesture. "Your theories again," he said "You hold to them still! But our little friend is likely to agree with you, when I was speaking of you to her I told her she had somewhat the same ideas as yourself. She is a sort of a 'psychist' whatever that may mean!" "Do you not know?" queried Santoris, with a grave smile "It is easy to guess by merely looking at her!"

"Ah! but first of all it would be necessary to instruct the shipbuilders!" put in Fazio "They would have to learn their trade all over again. Our yacht looks as though she were built on the same lines as all yachts, but you know you have seen she is entirely different!" Captain Derrick gave a nod of grave emphasis. Santoris meantime had come to my side.

"Well, before we all hate each other!" I said, playfully "It is quite on the cards that we shall come to that! Dr. Brayle thinks my presence quite as harmful to Catherine as that of Mr. Santoris; I am full of 'theories' which he considers prejudicial, and so, perhaps, they ARE to HIM!" Mr. Harland drew closer to me where I stood leaning against the deck rail and spoke in a lower tone.
