"'Oh, I got it, dear,' she said, with a little laugh; 'that's enough.' "Of course I understood then. When the time came for the paper to arrive, I thought I would verify her quotation, so I asked her for the name, the date of the issue and the page on which the quotation would be found. She told me, giving me, we will say, 45 as the number of the page. I went to the agent, looked up the paper and there was no such quotation on page 45. Then I remembered that things seen in the astral light are reversed, so I turned the number around, looked on page 54 and there was the quotation. When I went home I told her that it was all right, but that she had given me the wrong page. "'Very likely,' she said. 'Someone came in just as I was finishing it, and I may have forgotten to reverse the number.' "You see, anything seen in the astral light is reversed, as if you saw it in a mirror, while anything seen clairvoyantly is straight." The elevation of Mrs. Besant to the High Priestess-ship of the Theosophical Society was in accord with the spirit of the age--an acknowledgment of the Eternal Feminine; but it did not bring repose to the organization. William Q. Judge, of the American branch, began dabbling, it is claimed, in Mahatma messages on his own account, and charges were made against him by Mrs. Besant. A bitter warfare was waged in Theosophical journals, and finally the American branch of the general society seceded, and organized itself into the American Theosophical Society. Judge was made life-president and held the post until his death, in New York City, March 21st, 1896. His body was cremated and the ashes sealed in an urn, which was deposited in the Society's rooms, No. 144 Madison avenue.
