"
I was still puzzling over the note and was just about to call up
Elaine when the speaking tube was blown and to my surprise I found
it was Aunt Josephine who had called.
"Where is Mr. Kennedy?" she asked, greatly agitated.
"He has gone away for a few days," I replied blankly. "Is there
anything I can do?"
She was very excited and hastily related what had happened at the
parlor of the medium.
"What was her name?" I asked anxiously.
"Madame Savetsky," she replied, to my surprise.
Astounded, I picked up Craig's note from the desk and handed it to
her without a word. She read it with breathless eagerness.
"Come back there with me, please," she begged, almost frantic with
fear now. "Something terrible may have happened."
. . . . . . . .
Aunt Josephine had hardly left Savetsky when the trance was
resumed and, in a few minutes, there came all sorts of
supernatural manifestations. The table beside Elaine began to turn
and articles on it dropped to the floor. Violent rappings followed
in various parts of the room. Both Elaine and Bennett who sat
together in silence were much impressed by the marvellous
phenomena--not being able to see, in the darkness, the concealed
wires that made them possible.
Suddenly, from the mysterious shadows of the cabinet, there
appeared the spirit of Long Sin, whose death Elaine still believed
she had caused when Adventuress Mary had lured her to the
apartment.
