He had learned that, when his agent was in a semiconscious state, his the doctor's conscious mind could influence the agent. It was not Ernol, but the doctor, who had made the slip! Van Emmon was afterward unable to recall any experience between his entering the sublimial state and becoming tele-conscious.

Had he been on the spot, the uprising would have been checked before any one heard of it. "But it now seems that Calastia, during the last few hours, has become a seething hotbed of rebellion. Of course, we have isolated the district, and a search for arms is now in progress. "The head of the recalcitrants is a man named Ernol.
Apparently they had been warned. The doctor also concluded that the capture was a piece of treachery, in which bribery had been employed. Two minutes later young Ernol was placed in a large passenger flier, which the doctor labeled "Black Maria."
"To be frank, sir, I was almost asleep. I studied about Alma years ago. I know I said something, but as to what it was " "That will do." The professor made a sign, and Ernol sat down, tremendously embarrassed. "The class will understand that people, when talking in their sleep, usually say things which are the exact opposite of what they know to be true."

There was a moment's stunned silence; then the place broke into an uproar. Yells of fright and anger, the crashing of chairs, screams of pain; all these young Ernol heard without himself giving voice.
