Do you believr in anind-rradinf,
fortunr-telling, mental t^lepatky, and
reftatod ffcystcrteii of Uu* mind—a
“sixth atnse”, as some people term
collectively these little-understood
abilities that a few people claim to
^aerniii YJ It’s quite likely that-So* are,
to say the least, extremely skeptical.
People in all aces of. history’ have
been; and people are baffled when
what seems an authentic evidence ot
a “sixth sense** is presented them.
Many think that such cases are, some
how oi other, complete fakety. But
once in h while occuis some Such in
stance whose genuineness one can
hardly dispute.
If you, the reader, are one ef these
aforesaid skeptics, then this case may
cause you to wonder if maj. b« there •
isn’t something to it after all. It's
something that occurred to one df
your own faculty member. E. L.
Williams, Head of the Industrial Arts
Department) a few years b.u*k-*-in
the fall of H>38, to be exact.
Mr. IVYilliama, let it *be said, is a
man who though interested in such
things as mental telepathy and apitit-
ualism, j is extrcm.’ly open-minded
about, it- He realises that in such
)ittle*kn»wn fields probably la great
deal of trickery d’ies occur—in fact,
as a bo|r he worktni as a magician’s
assistant in a traveling show, going
to the next town, before the show ar
rived, in ordet to gsther local gos
sip which furnished material for some
of the magiciaa’s “magic”. Still. Mr.
Williams believe* that cases do occur
that may actually be the woricing* of
a “sixth sense**, and this tkftng that
happened to him would seem to be one
utf them, even though it does not
posse** a definite ending.
It war on a dreary, drizzly, autumn
evening that Mr. Williams and his
*wtfe want visitinr friends of theirs
for supper and a little game of bridge.
They returned home to find that dur-
. ing the time they had b.*en away
someone had ransacked the house and
stolen a number of things of consid
erable value—clothes, jeweliy, and a
fine new Gladstone traveling bag
parked with clothe* that Mr. Williams
