doubt about the realizations of his hopes in the future, but that the
delay was inevitable. He told him that the clairvoyant who promised
that he would find Marie in a few days, was only encouraging his hopes,
and that science, which could be depended upon, did not confirm these
hopes, or at least the immediate realization of them. There was a
possibility of his finding Marie in a foreign state or country or that
some news would come to him of her from a great distance. He asked
Robert for Marie's date of birth. Robert told him that he knew she
was born on October 6th, but that he was not sure of the year, but he
thought it was in 1908. The Professor told him that if this date was
correct, it would confirm all that he had told him and indicated a long
delay before he would find her.
Robert returned to his hotel more hopeful and with the firm decision to
face the future and carry out his plans, living faithful to Marie. On
his arrival at the hotel, he received a telegram from Mr. Kennelworth,
reading:
LEAVING ON THE SUNSHINE SPECIAL TONIGHT ARRIVE ST. LOUIS SATURDAY
MORNING BE READY TO LEAVE IMMEDIATELY WITH ME FOR NEW YORK.
Robert was more cheerful after reading this message because since
Marie's disappearance he had not met a man or woman he had ever known
before. Mr. Kennelworth was a dear friend of his and it would be very
comforting to meet him and talk over his troubles. He was also anxious
to meet his old pal, Walter Kennelworth, so he decided to get ready to
go on to New York. The big reception for Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh
was planned and would take place in New York on Monday, June 13th,
and he wanted to be there, but every time he thought of anything that
would give him happiness or pleasure, he thought of Marie and knew that
without her it would not mean as much to him. Still he hoped Marie
might appear or that some news of her might be received before he left.
He wanted to see Captain Lindbergh and his plane, "The Spirit of St.
Louis," for Robert was dreaming of the day when he would complete his
own great plane according to Ezekiel's plan. Robert went to his room
and spent the balance of the day reading the Bible and working out
future cycles on wars. Figured that great opportunities would come for
making money in the Stock and Commodity markets, and that he was going
to make a great financial success and carry out his plans.
