Next day the dog was missing.
The body of the dog was subsequently found floating in the water near a
bridge. An examination of the attendant circumstances pointed to the
dog having met its death on the night of Mr. Rider Haggard's dream. As a
result of this gentleman having made public this experience, he received
from numerous correspondents accounts of telepathy between the minds of
the writers of the letters and the minds of animals. These accounts were
sent by Mr. Rider Haggard to the Secretary of the S.P.R., who handed
them to me for investigation.

A very good case was that communicated by Lady C. The following is the
account of her experience:--

"On one hot Sunday afternoon in the summer of 1900 I went,

and my reading, and at once I felt sure that there was
something the matter with Kitty. I tried to put the feeling
from me, and to go on with my book, but the impression grew
stronger, and I felt compelled to hasten back to the
stables. I went straight to Kitty's box and found her
'cast,' and in urgent need of help. The stablemen were in a
distant part of the stables, whence I fetched them to have
the mare up. Their surprise was great to find me in the
stables for the second time that afternoon."

I wrote to Lady C., and received the following reply:--

"Lady C. would be glad indeed to have the case investigated,
as it always seemed to her to be of the greatest possible
interest. At the same time, it may be diffic
