She carefully recGunted and Mary made.
mental note of them. Finally she said:
"Oh! one thing more. He said that one
of the boardcrs in the house where he
lived. whom he described. and whose
name he gave, entered his room when
he was dad. found mis- corpse on the
floor. and took the opuurtunitv 10 steal
his Pold watch from his body. and has
pawned it at pawnshop around the
corner in the Bowery."
Mary placed no crgdenca in all this.
She suspected that her mother WAS a
little lghtheadel or had been dream
ing, ana was so anxious about her that
she bestowed little thought upon Tom
Swift, or what she regarded as the very
remote possibility of his suicide. But
the older lady insisted that she had
been wide awake. in full possession of
her senses, and that Tom Swift had
really come to her. as she had told. and
made those communicat tions.
In the morning, when her son, Fred.
was told of the supposed visitation. he
remarked: We'll III settle that easy
enough. / shall stop in and see Tom.
Ii Will be right on my way"
lie saw Tom, but Tom was dead,
and had been for a number of hours.
Since the ghosts word yae GOOD for so
much Fred pushed on to further inves-
tigation of it's crediblllty. The blacl;
pccEctbo,ll was found with the money
in it. exactly as Toms ghost said il
would be: and the letter also. Among
