REMARKABLE achievements of Ivan Brodsky,
physician, whose investigations into psychic
to exorcise evil spirits from the bodies of their victims

HE adoventures which I en
countored in the company
of Dr. Ivan Brodsky, while
assisting him in his psychic
al experiments, had all, as
I have hitherto related
them, arisen out of his
rnUsset desire to aid his fellow men.
Ihave now to record one of a differ
.st character, in which the doctor for
e first time broke his self-imposed
Jale not to tamper with psychical af

ersst. It was-on this ground, per
p--a failure, so Tar as ultimate re
Odts are concerned; yet it was of so
gtrsge a character that I feel it is
-Orthy of record.
One evening when I entered the

- in an arm-chair, surrounded by a
ls of dusty tomes, some apparantly
of a most venerable age. As I entered

Hiave you ever heard the legend
of Frar Bacon's head?" he asked.
I happened to recollect that absurd

Vew sullen and refused to answer

with rage, seized a hammer and shat
*sred it to pieces.
"There is a similar legend in the
:i nmud," said Brodsky, when I had
sgacluded. "A learned rabbi, skilled
the Kabbala, succeeded in making
little man, a humunculus, to do his
-?Miing. For the six days of the

K house mechanically, sweeping,
and cooking. Then came the
a~-eath day, on which it was forbid

ibre, his pupil rushed in in a condi

She is the first woman in New
laws of the utmost consequence to
humanity. Yet, if you were to publish
these you would be called a madman;
even our brethren would cry you down.
Why? Simply because they are
bound down by their own miscon
ceptions; their minds are not flexible.
You vouch for our friend's character?"
he continued, smiling.
"Absolutely," returned the doctor.
"Then I will tell you our plans," said
Adams to me. "You may possibly
know that I am the most intelligent
and skillful Egyptologist in this coun
try or any other." He paused and
looked at me searchingly. "He thinks
me boastful!" he cried to Brodsky.
'There he goes; conventional preju
dice dictates that a man must not tell
the truth about himself, and already
nur friend's mind is fermenting with
misdirected zeal-"
"On the contrary, professor," said
I, "I know that what you say is cor
rect."
"Good!" cried Professor Adams.
"Well, I was about to add that, much
as we know about ancient Egypt, what
we do not know it infinitely greater.
How often have I walked through my
mummy gallery-fine fellows they are,
lying in their handsome cases-and
said to them, 'You Nebo there! You
must have been contemporary with
Joseph. Come back to life and tell
me about his corner in grain.' 'You,
my friend Sesostris, who wear your
hair after the style of the Ptolemies,
did you ever see Cleopatra, and was
there really anything between her and
Mark Anthony, or did some writer
spread that lie among the Romans?'
And that is about as far as I got until
I made the astonishing discovery that
neither friend Nebo nor friend Sesos
tris bad ever been enbalmed!"
I was so facinated by the professor's
breezy speech that I hardly grasped
the significance of this fact at first.
"In other words," said Adams, "their
bodies though shriveled and almost
fossilized with age, were preserved
Intact by reason of certain herbs
placed in their wrappings. Every
organ remdins Intact. Now. sir, if
these dried frames were brought back
to a semblance of life by saline in
jections into the veins, we should see
Nebo and Sesostris as they appeared
in life."
"About the time that I made this
discovery I began thinking of our
friend Brodsky here. Tht universe,
he told me, was a mass of discarnate
soul stuff. Why, if three persons sit
ting at a table in a dark room can
make even the wooden table live,
would it not be possible to animate
real flesh and blood?"'
"Emphatically possible," said Brod
sky. "But unfortunately we could not
be sure that the soul of either Nebo
or Sesostris would be the one that
returned to its habitation. As for
Nebo, he lived so long ago that he has
probably been incarnated at least once
since his death, and is, in consequence,
too far removed from his ancient
Egyptian life. Sesostris may not have
returned, though fifteen hundred years
is usually the longest period between
re-births. In such event he might still,
retain some memories of his old life."
"Let it be Sesoatris, then," said the
professor. "Then you will come to
my house in Baltimore on Thursday
evening and attempt to bring back the
personality to our Egyptian friend?"'
he queried impatiently.
The doctor hesitated.
Professor," be said candidly, 'If any
body but you asked me to do this I
would refuse. I gave you my qualified
assent solely because of your long
work and your researches. Yes, I
will come, but you must promise me
that if I recall the spirit for one short
hour you will never attempt the ex
periment again."
"I promise gladly," Professor Adams
returned. "Why, an hour will be
ample. I only want to ask a few ques
tion-whether the Ptolemy Philopator
we read of was the son or nephew of
Agrippina the wife of Thoth; whether
the Egyptian masses ever adopted the
Roman toga; whether the gold ring
remained the badge of nobility after
the assasinatlon of Caesar; whether
the old dam at Thebes had yet been
built; the exact dimensions of the
colossal lighthouse at Alexandria and
the length of the Delta in Cleopatra's
time; with a few elucidations on the
statement made by Herodotus concern.
ing the migration of cranes; and-"
"I am afraid, professor, returned
Brodsky, " that you will find your own
knowledge of ancient Egypt eonlsider
ably exceeds that of your friend Sesos
trls. However, I will do my best. We
will be at your house in Baltimore on
Thursday evening and will ask you
to be alone and to await us in your
mummy gallery."
I pass over the Intervening days,
which I spent in a fever of anticipa
tion. Could Brodsky really restore life
to a mummy, reconstruct the days of
Caesar and Ptolemy. so that time
would be virtually annihilated? It so,
he was an incomparably greater ma
gtcian than L had ever believed him to
be. But I said nothing to him, and
he did not volunteer any fwurther state

we were ushered into the enormous
house which Professor Adams occu
pied in a residential district in Balti
more. It stood by itself in some ex
tensive grounds. Adams opened the
door himself, for he had sent away his
servants, in accordance with the doc
tor's mandate. He led us into a long
hall, down either side of which ran
winged figures, bulls with kings'
heads, from Assyria, obelisks covered
with inscriptions, and, here and there,
some upright mummy case, beautiful
ly carved. The air was redolent with
spices.
But what attracted and facinated
me was a long table in the center of
the hall. It was not unlike a billiard
table, in appearance, except that the
top was level with its edges. It's sur
face was composed of slate, apd it had
been set level with scrupulous care,
as was evidenced by the little bead
within the spirit level, that stood pre
cisely in the center of the glass tube.
Upon this was a magnificent mummy
case, into each end of which had been
fitted a very modern handle of brass.
"Now, asi," said the professor to
Brodsky, "if you will stand at this
end and take the handle I will show
you our friend Sesostris."
The two men took their positions,
the one at the head, the other at the
foot of the case, and, with some dif
ficulty, they raised the lid. I started
forward, but remained rooted to the
spot in astonishment, not unmixed
with admiration.
Within the case, lying as though
asleep, was the mummy of a man.
Mummy, I say; and yet, save for the
parchment-like appearance of the skin,
which clung tightly to the bones, and
the absence of the tissue, one might
have thought that he slept. The eyes,
closed, were beautifully fringed with
long lashes; the hair, black and curl
ing, thickly covered the skull; there
even seemed a tinge of color in the
olive cheeks.
"Ha! Your are amazed!" said the

ance nineteen hundred odd years ago.
A handsome fellow! See the thin lips,
the ctrved nose, the character in the
face. Prop him up, so. Now, doctor,
the rest remains with you."
"We must have total darkness," said
the doctor. "As you know, such man
ifestations cannot take place in any
degree of light, since the vital pro
cesses occur in the dark and develop
there, just as the seed that matures
under the ground."
"You-you really think that you can
bring him to life for an hour?" asked
Adams, rubbing his hands.
A shade of vexation crossed Brod
sky's face.
"I believe," he replied, "that for the
space of one hour I can induce some
discarnate intelligence to occupy this
shell. Whether it will be that of
Sesostris I cannot tell. Let us hope
so. And now kindly draw up chairs
around this table; I will sit at the
head, and you will sit on either side
of tht mummy, loinu -hand* ascros

Professor Adams went the length
of the hall, snapping out the electric
lights. I confess that a certain eerie
sensation, not wholly dissociable from
fear, crept over me as the shadows
lengthened and the long outlines of
the mummy cases, the obelisks, and
the winged bulls, were thrown into
blackness. Over our heads one single
light remained. Adams snapped it
out, sat down, and stretched his hands
to mine over the mummy in the dark
ness.
There we three sat in perfect si
lence. I hardly dared to breathe in
the thick, spice-scented air. I was

edly to the extremities; the lungs,
automatically taking in their fill of
air. Across the table I heard Adams
gasp and wheeze. Then I heard Brod
sky's low voice.
"Breathe away!" he said softly. "It
is a good sign. To create this lie
it is essential that each of us con
tribute a certain quantity of his own
vitality. Do not be alarmed at any
thing you see or hear. Breathe softly
and concentrate your minds upon the
task in hand."
Still we sat there. Cold spasms of
fear overcame me; I felt as though
my dissolution were approaching and
beads of sweat, icy as death, sprang
out upon my forehead. I felt the
professor's 'hand tremble in mine.
Then i heard the faintest rustle in
the darkness. I heard something that
scratched, something like the faint
gasp of a living thing. An icy wind
arose and came whistling down the
long hall, wailing and whining round
the obelisks. It swirled over the table.
My brain swam, my senses failed me.
I could no longer feel the professor's
hand in mine. I tried to rise, to cry
out, but even the powers of locomotion
had left me. And on the table once
more that scratching sound arose. It
was like nothing that I had ever heard
in life. In my horror I could imagine
only one simile for it-the scratching
and tapping of a chick, trying to break
through the stell of the egg.
And suddenly, out of the darkness,
I heard a feeble wail-the wall. of a
new-born child. I heard the doctor
spring to his feet, and an instant later
he had switched on the electric light
above our heads, while the long shad
ows of the statues and obelisks
rushed out toward us from the sides
of the ball. Then the cry changed into
a deeper roar, and I saw that the thing
upon the table moved.
I think the surprise of what we saw
threw us all off our balance more or
less, including the doctor. For in
place of the full-grown man, coming
back to life after his long sleep, dased,
perhaps, perplexed and confused, but
still manifesting the energies of his
kind, there was a man-babe-a man in
stature, hut helpless as though newly
born. The cry had changed to the
harsh bass of a mans a vocal chords.
But the eyes, as though thei had
opened for the Arst time upon the
light, stared and winked meaningless
ly, and there was no power of coordi
nation in the muscles of the limbs,
that moved senselessly, while' the
hands, doubled and clenched as a
baby's, stretched out toward the elec
tric bulb, as though striving to take
hold of it. We three stood, staring
and helpless, at the thing that we had
made.
I do not know how long we stood
there; so long that the monotony of
the cry had paralysed our sense of
hearing. I think It was Its sudden
cessation that released us all from the
spell which held us. Then I whim
pered to Brodsky:
"It is learning!"
For some sense of coordination was
coming into the limbs. The creature
raised itself upon its elbows, It
floundered helplessly, something In
the manner of a fish Sung upon a
bank; and suddenly it toppled out of
the case and rolled on the table, bal
anced for a moment on the edge of
4theate andll-tohe - Then
with its newly developed sense of loco
motion, it crawled, Infant-like, until
it clutched at the professor's knees,
raised itself, and stood upright for
the first time, gripping the edge of the
table. And It looked upon us vacantly,
yet with an ever-dawning intelligence
in its eyes.
I cannot describe in detwl the
stages of that awful evolution. We
appeared destined to behold, In that
one hour. the unfolding of a com
plete cycle of li4man life. Time was,
as it were, suspd#ded for as; or rather
it spun forward with frenzied swift
ness, so that we actually seemed to
pass through a span of human exist
ence there. The creature released its
hold of the table after a while, stood

floor, swaying from side to side. It
had reached the age of childhood now;
infancy was behind it, and it was time
for the appearance of the normal psy
chological instincts of affection.
We saw the light of intelligence
come Into its eyes as it turned them
on us and gazed at us, pussled, appar
eantly, and uncertain, as some house
pet that sees its image for the first
time in a glass. But it manifested
none of the child's affection for its
parents. It seemed to divine, by some
horrible intuition, the awful circum
stances of its birth. It shrunk back,
retreated into a corner of the hall,
and crouched there, glaring and gib
bering at us. As it swayed uncertain
ly from side to side it stumbled over
the projecting edge of a mummy case
and fell It leaped to its feet with a
shrill scream of pain and fell upon the
inanimate wood, reducing it to splin
ters with a few well-directed blows of
its naked fists. And now it had
learned the secret of its strength. It
came out of its corner, its eyes fixed
savagely upon the doctor's.
"Take care!" I screamed
I was too late. With the cunning of
a cat it had crouched down, it averted
its gaze one moment; then, straight
as an arrow, it leaped for the doctor's
throat, seeking, with the wild beast's
instinct, for the great vulnerable art
eries. Brodsky staggered under the
impetus of the attack; I glanced hast
ily round me and perceived an instru
ment of iron with a long handle of
wood, such as is used for opening
packing cases. I flung myself upon
the thing and belabored it with all
my strength. It left the doctor and
turned upon me, snarling. I hit it with
all my force upon the bridge of the
nose, and with a whine it fell at my
feet, fawning upon me. It had dis
covered the meaning of its second
lesson, the strength of others. Brod
sky rose slowly. His shoulder had
been bruised, but he was not other
wise injured.
We three withdrew into a corner of
the room and watched the creature.
The fight had been beaten out of It;
with the short memory of the savage
it seemed already to have torgotten
its sudden murderous onslaught It
was now crouched upon the floor, fin
gering the tool which I had let fall,
patting and turning it over with an
aspect of intense curiosity. This was
the stage of prehistoric man, the sep
aration from the beast by the faculty
of imagination.
Professor Adams found his voice.
"This is terrible, doctor," he whis
pered tremulously, plucking at Brod
sky's sleeve. "What will you do with
itt I have some chloroform in my
room; I keep it for eleaning the
papyrus. Shall I bring it in? You can
destroy-"
"It is not necessary," I answered.
"Look!"
They glanced back at the creature.
It was still seated upon the floor, but
had dropped the tool an$ now sat,
crouched in a heap, statl before it
idly, while a low whimpering sound
came from between its lips. And it's
aspect had changed. With the arrival
of adolescence the featu:es had in
sensibly altered; already I had noseaed
how the soul withia, working upon the
plastic clay, moulding it in its own
image, had thrown back the fine fore
head of the mummy, enlarged the
jaws, lengthened the arms sad bowed
the to er limbs, until It begoa to show
the Smli-human appearance of the
primeval man. But now the nlescles
ha wasted upon the imhbs, the face
lined, the thick growth of beard
that had sprung out upon the lower
half of the face was turanla white.
The creature was aging visibly before
our eyes. It's span of normal life was
almost over.
And then oocurred the most pathetic
of all the incidents that I remember.
Perhaps primitive man feeling his
strength go from him, mitht have
wondered it hli dimly developed phd
at the slow approach of death, pon
dered upon the ulnown gudf before
him, toward whose edge he was ap
proaching with irresidstible movements
and ionged that his little, ,belpless
lif should not go out alae, without
some human compealmbtp. The rea
tLure half rose, sad, very benat and
falterfi, stunded toward us and cow
ered at our feet, laying its hbead down
upon the ground before the doetor,
much as an old dog maght seek Its
master In the hour of death In spite
of my repupsace tears sprsnng late

"The fourth dimension?" I cried.
"The fourth dimensional existence

human limitation, and was not known
to the earliest savages, any more than
it is recognised, in their wild state, by
animals. Everything that has ever
happened, is happening now, or will
happen in future, takes place simul

"You mean that I am at once a
child, a man, and a dotard, as the
creature was!' I asked. "That Caesar
and Washington were and are contem
