N<> one, excepting i he sick restored
I to health, has reason to feci more
' thankful for that wonderful advance
' science has made within the last ten
; or^Jwenty years than 1. But right
. here in the beginning I must break
[ away from my subject to tell a story.
? Margaret May charmed nie lo what
I 1 consider the higher trails. Siie was
? a sober girl of an Intellectual type.
? with excellent principle and elevated
^ ideals. I am not a man to be pleased
. with a gay, frolk >tue I. however
| kind hearted, however winning. It
? was, therefore, natural that 1 Mould
f yield to the characteristics of Marga
? ret. We I-. . t :no en !. ar>! every
I thing looked well for ? >m r future happl
? ness when my liancoc In-: an to show a
succession of singular changes. One
evening when I went to see her she
bounded into the room like a holden.
5 throw her arms about my neck, kissed
1 me several times in rapid succession
J and. Iicgluuing with "You bad l<oy,"
f upbraided me for not having come
; earlier. When I asked her for what
: she had wished ine, she said that a cir
' i'us had come to town, and she was
1 "dying" to attend that evening's per
formance. Astonished. I asked her If
the next night would not do as well.
She said It would not. and when I
1 pressed her for a reason the only one
she could give was that she couldn't
watt.
it was altogether too late lo go to the
I circus that oveni >g, so I spent the rest
, of it with her In the > :y library where
we had pasned so many happv hour.-;,
often taking book after book from the
: shelves, rambling In them together and
1 calling each other's attention to favor
. Ite passages. Hut, alas, there was no
) such enjoyment for us tonight. Mar
garet spoke of the Isiok ? as "musty,
dusty things." In which she had no in
to rest, and Insisted In talk Iiik ouly
upon tlw most frivolous topics.
It Is needless to say that 1 was not
only dlsap; : nt>'il. hut shocked. Could
this 1?< my steady, well balanced, In
I tellectua! dargnrct? I v. is inclined
! ;o doubt It. Could it be her twin sister?
I knew that she had n>> twin sister. I
endured her prattle as long as I was
able; theu, telling her that 1 had some
s work to do before going to bed. I
t rose to go.
"And you will take uie to the circus
1 tomorrow night?" she asked, with a
pout.
s "Certainly if you wish it." 1 replied
^ and wheu I could escape from an ex
j. u be ranee of caresses left her.
t That night and the nest day my
I brain was in a turmoil. I was like a
man who had 1 . his love. 1 brooded
, Instead < f working tiil after office
hours and In the evening called to
take Margaret to the circus. The
maid who received me at the door
went upstairs to announce me and. re
turning. told me that Miss May was
not feeling well and had gone to l?'d.
There was no message of disap|H>lut
t went at missing the performance nor
nt not seeing me. Indeed, the timid
told me that she thought her mistress
: had not expected me that evening.
1 This would have been natural had It
" not been for the engagement, since
It was an evening I seldom called,
l' The next of my usual weekly visits
I was Sunday, and I called, dreading to
again tind the holdcu. I was ngree
s ably disappointed. Margaret was her
il usual self except that she showed
i ; signs of overstrained nerves. Some
'? i thing told me to refrain from mention
'' ing her sb :;uiar pers"iiaIUy when I
f had last seen her. to wait and observe,
'i During the visit and the next two
ij visits she was her own sweet self, bar
t ring her altered health. Finally I re
y ferred to her desire to \ Islt the circus,
t She seemed surprised, mystified, and
when I told her the whole story said,
with a nervous tremor, "Oh. she'll
(> rulu me!"
s' "Was some "tie else than you with
" me that evening?" 1 asked.
"Yes? ui'. 1 was with you, but she
n dominated me." And she hurried out
M of the room.
.. 1 was not admitted to see Margaret
s ?Indeed, I did not care to see her; I
n was dissatisfied for a month. Theu
y I called on her. What was my sur
prise to find li r a different person
0 from either of the two I had known,
j From the moment we met > he talked
i of women's rights, women's voting,
,1 women's superiority to men and Anal
ly told me that if I interfered with Iter
- in any of these ol , to which she
prop i,, devote her li.'e We must
pr ; by ? p 1 1. .
I left her maddened, llad 1 not been
^ puzzled as well I would have broken
li my engagement then and there, but
1 ? CUiioslty pi. *. d Several months
passed In which 1 continued to visit
her, hoping that she would settle down
Into her old personality resolutely.
When she was another I would turn
i away from her; when she was my own
Margaret I loved her still the same.
I As the holilen I found It isisslble to
be ainu 'il with her; as the "strong
I minded" woman I could not endure
II her. 1 was not able to get the real -
a Margaret to talk of the other two, but
from hints she dropped I -Inferred that
n she knew of their existence, and she
, hated them.
, Otic day I received a call from n
( psychical specialist. He Informed mo
that Margaret was under his care;
that two other personalities besides
'? her ownt appeared to inhabit her body
and at times dominated her. By psy
chic methods of his own Invention he
a was trying to enable her to doniinato
- them and thus return to a normal con
' dltlon.
t lie succeeded, the Intruders were
. driven out. and Margaret Is my wife.
