Summary Mera, the Medium (1914)

Harry Wright, visiting Lord Chester, expresses admiration for his picture, "A Glance Into the Past," which tells of a moment, tragic terrible in the life of a celebrated fortune teller. Lord Chester tells the story of the picture. "In the town of X lived Zira, an old fortune teller, with her servant, Harel. In the same house lived Alice Janere, who begged her to reveal the secrets of her future, but Zira's lips were sealed. She had promised Alice's mother that never would she tell the girl what might befall in the tomorrow. 'I will be your fortune teller,' said Alice's mother, 'and your fortune is both spiritual and my material. The savings of lifetime are for you,' and the mother went to a picture on the wall and released a spring which allowed the portrait to open outward. In the cavity lay a humble treasure of jewels and money. There were other ears who heard, other eyes that saw. John, the betrothed of Alice, coming to visit her, paused in the doorway. He closed the door softly again and went away, the light of avarice in his eyes. The next day brought evil doings. An unscrupulous woman with whom John had been intimate, blackmailed him for twenty-five hundred dollars. John, weak and dissolute, went to the home of his fiancee in the dark of the night. His knife mutilated the picture. He stuffed the treasure into his pocket. A sound at the door, Alice's mother entered. A struggle. Out of the door fled the criminal. On the floor was stretched a dead woman. The shock and the fight had stilled her heart for evermore. John returned to his apartment. The blackmailer called and demanded the hush money. A struggle outside the door. Alice, having discovered her mother lying dead on the floor and the domestic bank rifled, went to her fiance for aid. Rushing into the room she attempted to embrace him. He repulsed her. Alice noticed the pearl necklace and locket which belongs to her mother on the blackmailer. The truth came upon her. 'You are the murderer of my mother,' she cried as she fell unconscious. Zira adopted the bereaved Alice. A short time later Zira died. Going to another town Alice led a double life. As Ethel Landier, she was sought and respected as a wealthy and beautiful young woman. As Mera the teller of fortunes, she was the talk of the community. Mera learned much as to the inner lives of people while in her pose as an heiress. Eavesdropping at a reception one evening, she overheard a young girl telling a friend about her sweetheart. His picture was in a locket. It was loose and when the girl rose it dropped to the floor. The features were those of John, the false lover, of John, the burglar, of John, the murderer. John's new fiancee was eager to visit Mera, but John was averse. He decided to visit the fortune teller himself to learn how much she might know. He went to the house at 13 Mysteria Street. Mera entered her residence, which connected with the fortune telling house by a secret passageway. In a mirror's reflection Mera studied the features of her betrayer. Mera was guarded in her readings, her object being to allow him to think that she had little ability in telling the past or the future. She said that at the next masque ball at midnight a black domino would appear. At the masquerade ball at midnight the woman of the black domino walked quietly and silently into another room. He followed in doubt and in fear. He tried to pull the masque from her face. A revolver flashed in her hand. 'Do not look into my face,' said the woman behind the domino, 'for it conceals death, death to you.' A faintness came upon him. A few minutes later he was found unconscious. The black domino had disappeared. John, anxious that his bride-to-be should be given a roseate reading by the fortune teller went to Mera again and sought to bribe her into giving a false reading to the girl. 'I will paint you as you deserve,' said the seer sternly. His money lay untouched on the table, but John believed that it had accomplished its mission. He took his fiancee to the house of mystery. 'Your future will be clear to you if I expose the past,' Mera said, and by a manipulation of cards, she called back to John's memory the things that had been. Enraged, John rose to his feet and grappled with the medium. He pulled the wig and the concealing spectacles from her face. A shot rang out from the rear from the revolver of Harel. 'To look upon my face was death to you. I told you,' murmured the medium. This is the story of a wonderful picture."
