with the message you gave him this morning. The message from his dead
sister. He wants another message from her. He wants her to decide how he
shall dispose of a very large sum of money--his entire fortune."

"His entire fortune!" exclaimed Vera. "Do you imagine," she asked,
"that Mr. Hallowell will take advice from the spirit world about that? I
don't!"

"I do," Gaylor answered stoutly, "I know I would."

"You?" asked Vera incredulously.

"If I could believe my sister came from the dead to tell me what to
do," said the lawyer, "of course, I'd do it. I'd be afraid not to. But I
don't believe he does. And he believes you can bring his sister herself
before him. He insists that tonight you hold a seance in his house, and
that you materialize the spirit of his dead sister. So that he can see
his sister, and talk with his sister. Vance says you can do that. Can
you?"

From Vera's face the look of girlishness, of happy anticipation, had
already disappeared.

"It is my business to do that," the girl answered. She turned to Vance
and, in a matter-of-fact voice, inquired, "What does his sister look
like--that photograph we used this morning?"

"No," Vance answered. "I've a better one, Rainey gave me. Taken when she
was older. Has white hair and a cap and a kerchief crossed--so." He drew
his hands across his shoulders. "Rainey, show Miss Vera that picture."

"Not now," Gaylor commanded. "The important thing now is that Miss Vera
understands the message Mr. Hallowell is to receive from his sister."

The two other men nodded quickly in assent. Gaylor turned to Vera. He
spoke slowly, earnestly.

"Miss Vera," he said, "Mr. Hallowell's present will leaves his fortune
to his niece. He has made another will, which he has not signed, leaving
his fortune to the Hallowell Institute. He will ask his sister to which
of these he should leave his money. You will tell him--" he corrected

 " His integral fortune! " exclaimed Vera. " Do you imagine, " she ask, 
 " that Mr. Hallowell will take advice from the spirit worldly concern about that? I 
 don't! " 

 " I do, " Gaylor answered stoutly, " I sleep together I would. " 

 " You? " ask Vera incredulously.
