"That is from father," remarked Mrs. Lambert. "It is signed 'McLeod, and under it are two words, 'Loggy' and 'Mother, each in different handwriting." "Give it to me!" cried Kate, deeply moved. "And here is the wineglass," replied Weissmann, extracting from among the books a beautiful piece of antique crystal. Kate took it reverentially, as if receiving it from the hand of her dead mother.
Viola assisted Morton and Kate in clearing the big mahogany table, while Weissmann conferred with Clarke. To judge from the girl's gayety and eager interest the preparations were for a game of cards rather than for a test séance in which her love and honor were at stake. Mrs. Lambert was quite serene; Clarke alone seemed anxious and ill at ease.
"But to admit that one book was moved from its place is to admit that a force exists unknown to science." "But what are you going to do? Did you do it? Or did I? Did Clarke reach from where he sat and manipulate the horn? Who brought the old wine-glass from the china-closet? No one entered from the outside that is certain. And then the things 'Loggy' said?" "What do you think, Dr. Weissmann?"
She addressed Weissmann in German, calling him father, asking him to tell mother not to grieve, that they would soon all be together in a bright land. To this Weissmann replied in harsh accent: "You assert you are my daughter?" The voice sweetly answered: "Yes, I am Mina " "But Mina could not understand a word of English how is that?" The little voice hesitated.
It should be noted here, of course, that an individual biologist may quite honestly believe that he has found a fixed principle with the help of Weissmann or Mendel. We are discussing whether we know enough, as responsible citizens, to put such powers into the hands of men who may be deceived or who may be deceivers. I conclude that we do not.
Weissmann consented in blunt abstraction, and the work proceeded quite in the regular routine so far as he was concerned. Tolman was the farthest remove from the traditional mesmerist in appearance, being a brisk, blond man of exceeding neatness and taste in dress. He wore the most fashionable clothing, his hair and beard were in perfect order, and his hands were very beautiful.
He threw up his hand with a gesture of pain and despair. "Don't! I can only hope that girl is utterly bad. Otherwise she is the sport of devils. Help me forget the whole uncanny business." "You're wrong," she said, firmly. "It is just such men as you and Dr. Weissmann who should snatch the pearl of truth from this bucket of mental mire."
"Quite right," agreed Clarke, "Do not be troubled the psychic is being cared for." Thus reassured the two investigators scrutinized, measured, made notes, while Kate and Mrs. Lambert stood waiting, watching with anxious eyes the changes which came to Viola's face. Weissmann talked on in a disjointed mutter. "You see? She has no pulse. The threads are unbroken.
However, with all his eccentricities he was a man of considerable social experience, and, while he was not at any time joyous of countenance, he did not in open guise offend, though he sank at last into a glowering silence, leaving the talk to Weissmann. Morton gave much attention to Mrs.
I came to myself in my own room, and only mother was with me." Her rebellious fire blazed up again. "Oh, Dr. Serviss, I was resigned yesterday, but to-night I am in terror again, and they know it. They are eager to show their power, to confound you and convert Dr. Weissmann. I'm sure they will do some wonderful thing for you to-night if you will let them."
