vering that
she was taking more than an ordinary interest in me. As the days flew
by, her visits became more frequent and of longer duration, until
finally it seemed as if she almost lived in my apartment. Many times she
came in the morning and remained all day, taking her lunch with me in
the meantime. As my health improved, and I became more vigorous in
bodily strength, those same feelings of admiration and love I bore for
the first Arletta took a firm hold of me until it seemed that she was a
part of my very life. Ah! those were happy and heavenly days indeed. The
happiness I enjoyed there, was of that kind which can only exist between
two souls fore-ordained and mated to each other for all eternity. As the
time went by-all too rapidly-we had much to talk about. Arletta
described the many progressive strides made by science and invention
during the twenty-one years in which my mind was a blank, and I told her
hair-raising stories of my early travels and adventures in all parts of
the world. We said very little regarding my other personality. That
subject appeared distasteful, and caused her to shudder whenever it was

that it was nothing more nor less than a fancy of my disordered brain.
She also seemed greatly displeased when I informed her that it was my
intention to go out into the world and teach the principles of Natural
Law. It pained her to think that I should allow myself to even question
the authenticity and infallibility of the Bible. Her faith was so strong
and her nature so gentle that I refrained from discussing the subject in
any form, after I found how much she grieved over it. So I said no more
about my experience with the divine Sagewoman and my promise to follow
her instructions during the remainder of my natural life, but confined
my conversation to other subjects, and to the full enjoyment of her
daily companionship during my period of convalescence.

Day by day my weight and strength increased, until at last the time
arrived for me to quit t
