THE SOUL SEARCII AN ENGLISH scientist has devonid a lot of time and effort to writ ing a hook which he calls "In Search of the Soul." At the end the scientist finds him self no nearer discovering the where abouts of what he was searching for or even knowing the character of the thins lie sought than was Plato or Seneca or Pythagoras or Epictetus, nil great teachers, hut all disagreeing when It came to the tiling which none of them KNEW auvthing about. ... I Always there has been a doubt as to whether the soul was within or without the body. One investigator who died not long ago spent years of Ids life in an at tempt to devise a weigliing-nieclianism so delicate that he would he able to determine if there wus any deter minable difference in the weight of a tinman body just before and Just after death, hoping thereby to es tablish the weight of the soul. There were reports, never perhaps Justified, that the government bureau of standards had under consideration a similar line of experiments. It would be Jusf as satisfying, In all probability, to ' try and weigh a thought, for It Is probable that noth ing more fungible leaves the body at death. Did you ever wonder what becomes of the thinking power, when the body no longer has power to breathe and move? Is the thinking power the soul? Where goes the genius of a Beethov en or a Mozart and that indescribable power to group sounds into harmony when death has robbed those fingers of writing down the notes upon the ruled paper? What becomes of the analytical powers of a Newton or a Euclid or an Einstein when he can no longer pen his formulae or give to the world his conclusions? What becomes of the genius of the painter when his hand can no longer hold the brush or of the sculptor when his hammer and chisel have been laid down for the last time? Is there tangibility to knowledge, to talent, or are they wholly spiritual and without dependence on 'material things and existence? Plato said, "The body Is a prison, from which the soul must be released before It can arrive at the knowledge of those things which are real and Im mutable." Is the soul really imprisoned within the body or Is the body only an Il lusion which our belief gives a de ceiving reality? The scientist who Is studying mat ter, for no one yet KNOWS what matter Is, tells us that everything material Is made up of electrons and that electrons are really only a mani festation of electricity and that elec tricity Is not matter but only energy, and we, therefore, end up with the statement that matter Is not material but only a demonstration of energy, so after ail what Is there to the thing which w ordinarily think of as the home of the soul? What an enigma ! What an eternal problem ! We stand upon the edge of a great ocean and wisely discuss It as a whole when we do not know more than the merest fraction of the truth about the one wave that washes at our feet. We write books with sounding titles and confess at the end, If we are truthful, "I know nothing." Only ONE thing man really KNOWS. That Is that he Is conscious, that he has been endowed with some power of recognition and reason. Whether his use of that power results in a truthful conclusion he does not know. It may be that one of the greatest glories and privileges of the hereafter will be to know something and know that it Is the truth.

Some men were erasing the sign "Talcott & Co., Stocks and Bunds," from the glittering plate glass' windows. He passed'the elevator starter, who halted him by gently catching his arm. "I've heard of it, air. Talcott," he said his voice. quivering. "Sir, my wife didn't sleep all night over It. She snys there's a room for you under the roof you helped 'us save all yoUr life long, if you'll take it." "Thank you," nodded the broker. "TeU yoifr w ife it's such people as you that make a man think there's some good in the world." Men turned and noted the tall, grace ful figure as Talcott passed. There was always something royal In his bearing. Even with "Failure" written that day against his business career, a dauntless courage showed In his kindly, steady eye. Talcott had brought half a dozen letters from the office. He opened them in turn. Five were of no conse quence. The last one startled him. It announced that nn old pensioner of his, James. Gregory, living in another city, had died leaving him his entire estate "apply at once to Dockkery & Bates, attorneys." ' . Twenty-four hours later the senior member of that firm escorted the broker to a secluded city court In the center of a vacant lot stood 1 a large covered wagon. It had windows like a house, and was divided Into three (living compartments. Seated on the grass reading from school books were three small boys.. Near by was a young lady of about eight een. She was sewing and four little girls were copying her Industry. "Mr. Gregory has left you two horses and that wagon, with all hands Included," said the lawyer, grimly. "In addition, here Is the deed already re corded In your name, "to a six hundred and forty acre tract of wild land a hundred miles from here, up near the pineries." "And this is my legacy 1" murmured the perplexed Talcott. "Exactly. Miss Gregory will explain the details," and the lawyer left him. Talcott advanced towards the young lady and Introduced himself. He fancied he had never seen so kindly and peaceful a face. Her simple story was soon told. Her dead father, an eccentric, had taken In charge, gradu ally, some homeless orphans. For them and herself he had worked, trav eling about the country In the wagon and doing odd Jobs as a tinker. When the broker asked her as to her plans for the future, she only looked helplessly and pathetically at him. They talked for over an hour. Blunt ly Talcott told of his real situation. He suggested a plan. He needed rest; a change, the doctors had said. Here It was, ready made to order. They would go to "the farm," as he called it. It was their only tangible In heritance. Talcott went to sleep that nfght feeling the great load of a broken past lifted from his mind. The odd, the new, the unknown life attracted him. . He awoke with a headache the next morning. The reaction had come. By noon he had a fever, by nightfall he was delirious. For him the next 20 days were a blank. He awoke to find himself, weak and emaciated, lying on a bed in the boys' end of the wagon. Tal cott tried to arise. He sank back weakly with a groan. Instantly from the wagon living room a light form came into view. It was Miss Gregory. Wonder-eyed and . grateful, Talcott learned how the brave little woman had nursed him, and carried out the plan of the Journey to "the farm.' Here they were, the children Industri ous and happy, and oh I such grand fortune, and her eyes danced as she told him of It ' "A railroad Is building right through your section," she explained, "and the wagon stands on the new town site. A man has been here dally to see you about selling him some of the prop erty." The man appeared next day. He looked Talcott' over shrewdly. Then ha said: ' .... ' 1 see you are a keen business man, so HI talk sense. I am a land specula tor, m give yon ten thousand dol lars for a quarter section, and fifty per cent of what I make on another quarter section selling town lota." , . "You mean," replied the broker, gently, "twenty thousand dollars and seventy-live per cent" "I guess I've figured wrong," said the speculator. "You're up to snuff. Well, I'm ready to trade." "And what Is you plan now, Mr. Talcott?" asked the motherly guar dian of the little coterie of children a few days later. "You are almost rich. again." ' i -.--i; u "I shall build a nice, roomy home," answered Talcott "and we will all grow up with the country. My dear, good nurse and true friend, I have found hope and ambition where I thought there was nothing but de spair. I have found love, too. . will you share the new home, as my wife?" ' And ' when the .blushing, lovable ax drey Gregory answered "Yes," War- nn Talcott felt that he stood at the portal of a veritable Eden.
