Now, this H the story of McGIlvray,
the bandmaster:
It was at the time of the taking of
Quebec, the summer of 17j:. The Eng
lish, army had lain at Montinorenct, at
the Island of Orleans, and nt Point
Levis; the EngUMi fleet In tho basin
opposlto,the, town, since June of that
great year, attacking and retreating,
bombarding nnd besieging, to no great
puipnse. Vj.w within tho walls of tho
clty.iaml on tho shore of Ueauport, pro
tected, by Its mud flats a splendid
moat the French more than held their
own.
1i all the hot months of that summer,
When parishes' were ravaged with flro
abd p word, and the heat was an excuse
for almost any lapse of virtue, McGIl
vray had not been drunk once not
once. It was almost unnatural. Pre
vious to that, MrGUvruy'a caieer had
bc.cn checkered. No man had receied
so many punishments In the whole
nrmjv none 'had rlstn so superior to'
them as had he, none had ever bef-n

lie was not rt-markable to the vision
scarcely more than five feet four,
with an cyo like a gimlet, red hair tied
In a queue, a big mouth, and a chest
hrmvu out like the -breast of a part

tactics that McGilviay might not be
compelled to march, and so expose his
condition. Standing still he was quite
JH for duty. He never got really drunk
"at the top." His. brain was always
clrar, no matter how useless were his
legs.
But the wonderful thing was that for
six niunths McGllvray's legs were as
steady as his head was right. At first
tho regiment was unbelieving, and his
resolution to drink no more was scoffed
ut in the non-com mess. He stuck to
It, however, and then tho cause was
searched for and not found. He had
not turned religious, lie was not fanati

women since the day of his weaning,
nnd had drunk consistently all tho

, A fortnight or so after Wolfe's army

told by a sentry'nt MontmorencI where

ho had forthwith set out to hall this
daughter of Gaul, If perchance she
might be seen again.
At more than ordinary peril ho
crossed the river on a couple of logs,
lashed together, some distance nbovo
the spot where the picket had seen
mademoiselle. It was n moonlight
night, nnd he might easily have been
picked off by a bullet, If a wary sentry
had been so alert and murderously In
clined. Hut the truth was that many
cf these pickets on both sides were In
no wise unfriendly to each other, and
THE LOCK TURNED AND PRESENTLY STEPPED INSIDE A! GIRL
more than once exchanged tobacco nnd
liquor across the stream. As it chanced,
however, no centry saw McGIlvray, and
presently, safely landed, he made his
way down the river. Even at the dis
tance ho wns from the falls, the rumble
of them come up the long walls of firs
and maples all else was still, most
still. He came down until he was oppo
site the spot where his English picket
was posted, and then he halted nnd
surveyed his ground.
Nothing human In sight, no sound1 of
life, no sin of habitation. At this mo
ment, -however, his stupidity In thus
rushing Into danger; the foolishness of
mirsultic a wctnan whom he had never
seen and a French woman nt that; the
punishment that would be meted out
to him by his colonel If his adventure
was dlscoveied all these came to him.
They stunned him for a moment, and
then presently, as If In defiance of his
own thoughts, he began to sing softly:
"Malbrouk s'en va t'en guerre."
Suddenly, In one confused moment,
he was seized, nnd a hand was clapped
over his mouth. Three French sol
diers had him In their grip; stalwart
fellows they wore, of the regiment of
Iiearn. He had no strength to' cope
with them, he at once saw tho futility
of crying out, so he played the eel, and
tried to slip from tho grasp of his cap
tors. Hut thoutrh he gave the trio an
awkward five minutes he was" at last
entitely overcome, and was carried
away In triumph through the woods.
More than once they passed a sentry,
and more than once campflres ,ioynd
which soldiers slept or dozed. Now and
again one would raise his head, and
with a laugh, or a "Sapree!1 or 'n
"Sacro blue!" drop back into comfort
again.
After about ten minutes' walk he was
brought to a small -wooden house, tho
door was thrown open, ho was tossed
inside, and the soldiers entered after.
The room was empty save for a bench,
some shelves, . a table, on which a lan
tern burned, nnd a rude crucifix on the
wall. Had there beeni nothing else
there would have been the crucifix, for,
before all else, the French' in Canada
were rllglous.
McGIlvray sat down on the bench, and
In five minutes his feet were shackled,
and a chain fastened to a staple In the
wall held him In secure captivity.
"How you like yourself now?" asked
a huge French soldier who had learned
English from a girl at St. Mulo years
befoie.
"If yuu'd tie a bit o' pink ribbon
round me neck, I'd die wld pride," said
McGlloray, spitting on the ground at
tho same time to defy them.
The big soldier laughted and told his
comrades what the band-master had
said. One of them grinned, but the
other frowned sullenly, nnd asked:
"Avez-vous de tabac?"
"Havey you to-ba-co7" said the big
soldier Instantly Interpreting.
"Not for a Johnny Crapaud llko you,
and put that In your pipe nnd smoke
It!" said McGIlvray, winking at the big
fellow and spitting on the ground be
fore the surly one, who made a motion
as If ho would bayonet McGIlvray
where ho sat.
"He shall die the cursed English
soldier," said Johnny Crapaud.
"Somo other day will do," said Mc
GIlvray. "What does he say?" asked Johnny
Crapaud,
"He says he'll give each of us' three
pounds of tobapco If we let him go,"
answered the corporal.
McGIlvray knew by tho corporal's
voice that he was lying, and ho also
knew that somehow he had made. a
friend.
"Y'are lyln. me darlln', me bloody
beauty!" Interposed McGIlvray.
"If wo don't tako lhm 'to headquar
ters now he'll send across and get the
tobacco," Interrupted the corporal to
Johnny Crapaud.
"If he doesn't get the tobacco he'll be
hung for a spy," oald Johnny Crapaud,
turning on his heel.
"Do we, all agree?" said .the corporal.
The other nodded their heads, and as
they went out'MtGIlvmy said after
thejn
"I'll dance a Jig on ycr ecpulchrecs,
ye'swobsl" ahd he spat'o'n he ground
again In defiance.
Johnny 'Crapaud turned to the cor
poral. ,
"I'll kill him very dead," eaU he, "If
that tobacco doesn't come. You tell'
him so," ho added, JerKlng a thumb1
towards McGIlvray. "You tell him eo."
The corporal stayed when tho others
went out, and, In broken English, told,
McGIlvray so.
"I'll play a hornpipe, nn his gory
shroud Is around hl'rn," a1d McGIlvray.
The corporal grlnn'ed from ar to car.
"You llko a chew tatiac?",ald lie, pull
ing out a dirty knob of a black plug.
McGIlvray had found a man after his
own heart.
"Sing. a song a-slx-pence," saldo he,
."what sort's that for a glntlcman an a
corporal, too'' FeeT In me trouslca
pocklt," said he, "which la fur me1
frlnds forlver."
McGIlvray had now hopes of getting
free, but If hd hail nottaken a fancy to
"me b'aby corporal;" 'as1 he called the
Frenchman, ho would have made es
cape or release impossible, hylhsultlng
him nnd everyone of them as quick aa
winking.
After tho corporal had emptied one
pocket, "Now the other, man-o-wec-wccP'
said McGIlvray, and' presently
the two were drinking what the flask
from tho "trousles pocklt" contained,
nnd so well did McGIlvray work upon
the Frenchman's bonhomie that the
corporal promised him he should es
cape. Then ho explained how McGIl
vray should be freed that at midnight
some one would come nnd release him,
while he, the corporal, was with his
companions, so avoiding suspicion as
to his own complicity. McGIlvray and
the corporal were to meet again and
exchange courtesies after .he, man
ner of brothers If the fortunes of war
permitted. ,
Then McGIlvray was left nlone. To
while away the time he began to whis
tle to himself, and whnt with whist
ling and what with winking and talk-Ing--to"
file ''inteHj on the table, and
calling1 htmself painful mtmes, Mie en
dured his captivity well enough.
It was near midnight when the lock
turned in t he door and presently

matters tha,t have occiirredln some

Do our brains send out waves?
Men of science both here and abroad
are discussing the newly launched the
ory of Professor Crookcs, tho noted
English chemist and physicist, who
believes -that brain waves are the cause
of hitherto unexplained cases of so
called thought-transference. What Is
regarded as even more significant than
his offered explanation of telephatlo
phenomena Is the professor's admis
sion that such phenomena really exist.
He Is tho first eminent man of science
who has ever placed upon record his
belief that thought-transference la a
possibility. A glance at Professor
Crookcs' record will explain why his
remarks are given great weight by
men of sober judgment. He Is of that
class of scientists from whom we gen
erally expect the most conseivatlve
views founded upon deductions drawn
only fromi well-weighed facts. Pro
fessor Crookcs Is best known Just now
as the Inventor of the Crookes tube
used In the discovery of the X-rays.
He is also the Inventor of the radio
meter and the discoverer of thallium.
He was the founder of the lliltlsh
Chemical News, and Is now the editor
of the - famous Quarterly Journal of
Science.
Professor Crookes says that a great
deal of the evidence which has proved
to him the renl existence of telepathy
and kjlndrcd powers has been collected
through the agency of the famous So
ciety -for. Psychlal Reseat ch, of which
he is the president. The writer hav
ing access to the -private lecords of
the society, has selected some of the
most lemarkable of these recent cases
reported" both to the Ameilcan nnd
English branches during the past year.
These cases are reported for the most
part by members or associates, of tho
society nnd tho evidence of the per
sons concerned is weighed by a pro
cess 'which appears to exclude fakes
and shams.
SIMPLE EXPERIMENTS.
The society has lately been urging
members to try experiments In thought
transference with the agent and per
cipient, or more clearly speaking the
transmitter and receiver as far sep
arated as possible. "This separation is
considered lmpoitant since the receiv
er even with the most honest Intent
cannot help being guided by even un
conscious indications given by the
transmitter when ho is within seeing
or hearing distance.
Simple experiments in this line of in
vestigation can be made by any two
Interested pel sons In the following
manner: Make nn agreement with a
wplI-,Known friend who' Jlv.qs In an
othpj? -cjty, that say on the" first of
-the- fOllOWjni? month vrill. will nnnh
evening, say at eleven o'clock, devote
a nait nour to experiments In thought
transference. Agree that one shall act
as transmitter rtnd the other is re
ceiver , during the whole exi .ment,
or, If preferred, that you will alter
nate every other night. Understand
between yourselves that the transmit
ter must concentrate his mind upon
tho receiver, who at tho same time
must avoid concentration and put his
mind In a passive state. Roth receiver
and transmitter should have a blank
diary or memorandum sheet before him
In which to record his exact thoughts
and impressions as they occur.
Similar experiments giving very in
teresting results have recently report
ed to the society. They probably rep
resent the ETOatOSt Mllcrpssoa In tlila
line which have yet resulted from such
tests honestly and scientifically made.
Those of two English ladles, Miss
Campbell and Miss Pespard, the form
er in London and the latter in Surbl
, ton, .about fourteen miles therefrom,
are of 'particular significance. In nil
of -these tests Miss Despard acted as
transmitter and Miss Campbell as re
ceiver. The thought transference was
to tako place at eleven o'clock each
night after a given date. Tho order of
the exnerlment was o Tib nitnmntin
every other night the transmitter was
io nx ner minci upon an object and on
the alternate nights upon a diagram
which she was to draw upon paper.
Each was to mall to tho other every
few'days a letter containing a diary of
tho "experiments. , On the first night
of tho tests, Dec. 27, according to the
copy of her letter 'read by tho writer,
the transmitter at 11.04 o'clock con
centrated her mind mon a brass can
dlestick In her room. She felt that tho
result would not be very satisfactory
since she found dllllculty In con
centrating her mind. "Not having de
cided previously what object to think
of," says she, "I looked over tho man
telpleco first and rejected two or three
things before fixing upon the candle
stick. A very noisy train was also dis
tracting -my attention, so I wonder If
you will think of that." In her notes
concerning this same night the re
ceive.? states: "I am sorry to pay I
forgot our projected experiments un
til I was Just getting into bed, when
I suddenly remembered, and Just then
I heard a train making a great noise,
and as I have never noticed It like that
before I wondered If It was one of
your trains." Concerning her other
Impressions the receiver says that
"clock, watch, bath all flitted past,"
as well as "a circle of firelight." Tho
only word that came to her was "sand"
and a sound like "k" or "g." it will
be observed that "sand" and "cand,"
tho latter in "candle," aro slmllnr and
that tho sound of "k" would be cor
rect for tho beginning of "candle."
Having noted these Impressions tho
receiver says she heard the clock strike
11.30. In the morning she found that
tho clock was twenty minutes fast, the
time of her Impression therefore hav
ing'been lust after 11.
, On the second night tho transmitter
'"si vii a cross inscrioea in atrl
angle, but tho receiver failed 'to' ob
tain theycorrect-Impression of this
message. On tho third night tho trans
mitter was consclousof greater suc
cess when she concentrated 'lier mind
upon "a small Bristol ware Jug about
six inches high, the lower parti being
brownish red, of a-ritetallic coppery col
or, tho upper part, haying: a band of
reddish onU light-purple flowers of a
twmewhat conventional rose pattern?
handlo greenish." She also remarks:
"I do not think you have seen this Jug,
as It has bet-n nutwiv ln.n. mmirH'
nnd rinltf laid,, Vumiirrl.t fYi.fr T ... At...
7 .,.-.;., "."TO.il "v,, tow, me
Jus chfefly'-by'brtght firelight." '
Tho receiver on thla same night first
thought of sponge, but concluded
that It was suggested by tho sound
of running water. "Next," says she,
"I had more distinctly nn Impression
of a reddish metallic lustre, and, I
thought It must be a Moorish brass
tray on May's mantelpiece; but nt last
I saw quite distinctly a small Jug of
a brpwplsh metallic appearance be
low, with nbovo that a white hand
with colored llowers, lllao and crim
son, on It."
On the fourth night the transmitter
drew a 'square, but after making It
saw that It was not ns correct an It
might be, that the figure In her Im
agination had tended to "slope up to
the right." The receiver on the same
night drew an irregular quadrangle
whose right side was tilted up. Hav
ing finished these Interesting diaries
tho two experiments exchanged them.
The jiostmnrks on the containing en
velopes proved to members of the so
ciety thnt Miss Campbell posted her
letters before receiving the one from
Miss Despnrd, and that Miss Despard
had posted her communication before
hearing from iMIss Campbell. It Is an
Interesting fact that tho experiments
with objects were more successful than
those with diagrams. This Is explained
by tho supposition thnt the transmit
ter had taken more interest In the
former.
IN THIS COUNTRY.
Another series of Interesting experi
ments In thought transference, made
In Kismet, Morgan county, Tcnn., linvo
also been reported to this same so
ciety. In these the receiver, A. S.
Wlltso, M. P., covered his eyes with
a fold of dark cloth, while tho trans
mitters', who were several Individuals,
concentrated their minds uikii forms
previously unknown to the receiver.
Out of six trials made on one day,
when the doctor's wife acted as trans
mitter, she Is reported to havo trans
ferred three Images which the latter
saw vividly and correctly. One was a
mountain, another a house, and the
other a man on a horse. In the lnt
ter tho transmitter concentrated her
mind upon the appearance of the doc
tor when he used to Hde horseback in
years gone by. While Mrs. W. wns
concentrating her mind upon her moth
er's picture the doctor saw the Image
of his mother-in-law. 'While tho trans
mitter was thinking of a chimney, with
smoke pouring out of it, tho receiver
said he saw a clicle, but could not
tell whether It was a wheel or a ring,
on Recount of dull, smoky clouds. The
samo doctor tried additional experi
ments of the samo kind with his wife,
his 16-year-old son, and several friends.
On another occasion he appears to
havo been possessed of the strange
power of taking stolen Interviews with
his wife's meditations. One day while
wilting nt his desk he preceived that
she, In the same room, was In deep
thought. He dropped his face on his
arm and attempted to catch the drift
of her reveries. He saw" mountain
scenery, her brother nnd two women
on horseback. He afterward learned
that she wns at the time thinking of
her homo In the Cumberland Moun
tains, of her brother who lived there
and of herself and another woman who
onco resided In that region. She did
not remember having thought about
.horses, but since horseback aiding is
the ordinary mode of travel In the lo
cality mentioned she may have uncon
sciously visualized her method of loco
motion. At this point the wife, per
haps becoming alarmed at her hus
band's power to read her Innermost
thoughts, declared that she would in
a second experiment foil blm, but was
obliged to confess later that his im
pressions in the other Instance were
perfectly correct Numerous neighbors
and friends testify to the truth of tho
assertions concerning this doctor and
his strange telepathic power.
An Interesting case directly bearing
upon this subject and reported fiom
LonJon is that of a man named Fred
W. Rose, who contilved the idea, of
sending his "astral body" to the room
of an old lady at whose house ho was
in the habit of calling. One evening he
went to his room, nnd without having
previously mentioned the fact to any
one, concentrated all of his thoughts In
an endeavor to Imagine himself going
down tho steps of his house, walking
along the streets, at riving at the old
lady's door and afterward going to her
room. Having expended considerable
mental energy upon this Imagined ex
ploit lie fell asleep. About the same
time, ns reported to the society, tho old
lndy's daughter was startled several
times In her sleep by Imagining, with
unnatural vividness, that sho heard
omo one walking outside In the pas
sageway leading to her door. Her son
had experienced the same sensation
while the old lady herself, while trying
to read herself asleep, had been
startled by a feeling of awe nnd after
ward by seeing a strange blue, lumln
ous mist, creeping upward toward her
from the side of her bed. She was too
terrified to move and put her book up
liefore her face as If to ward off a blow
Suddenly the brow and piercing eyes
of the strange Mr. Rose appeared over
the edge of her book. In the next mo
ment the mist and face had as sud
denly dlsappeated. The testimony of
all persons figuring In this successful
experiment In thought-transference
has been submitted to the Society of
Physical Research, including a lengthy
statement signed by Mr. Rose.
These are tho most Interesting of the
many casoa of experimental thought
transfrence brought during tho past
year to the attention of the Society
of Physical Research, upon whose rec
ords Professor Crookes partly bases his
new theory, as explained In his recent
communication to science. The details
of the majority of such tests indicate
that tho tecelvers become more nnd
more adept In their strange art the
longer they continue Its practice.
After the discovery partly through'
tho agency of this same Professor
Crookes of waves which produce rays
of light Invisible to the normal eye, It
might not be particularly surprising to
learn that ther are projected In tho at
mosphere waves of thought, w hose per
ception Is not yet given to us all. How
the brain Is supposed to create Its vi
brations nnd consequent waves has not
ns yet been explained to us on this sldo
of the Atlantic. As bearing directly
upon tho point, however, might be
mentioned a theory of Elmer Gates,
psycho-physicist and director of tho
Laboratory Mind Art, this slty. In a
conversation with the writer, Professor
Ontcs suid: "All mind action is accom
plished by the chemical motions of tho
atoms and molecules of the brain. Tho
moving atoms produce wave-motions
in ether. I hope to discover the char-
'acteristic ether waves produced bv
mind actions. Llsht consists of ether
waves of a certain pitch. When they
fall upon a chemical substance they
produce In Its atoms certain motions
which cause chemlnl changes. Now If
I can discover that such waves sent
out from nn active brain, set up Inlts
chemical motions, I shall have- mn'de
an Important advance in this interest
ing domain. Thp ndvanco will le
equally Brent for science, If I can
demonstrate that no Buch thing oc
curs." In simpler Justice to Professor
Gates it should bo stated that this
opinion was expressed 'to the writer
oveV'ejx. months ago.
