Il have had only one experience
in telepathy." said the man, but that
was strong one. ran away from
home when | was boy OF nine. Ny
father was cruel to me, but l loved
my mother dearly. l got on Ship
at the Brooklyn docks. bound for

much roaming, I landed at Bombay,
where | became a printers devil on
small paper.
II was taken i'll there OF fever. so
i'll that I thought I was at the point
of death. That night it was very hot,
but somehow l got out of bed and
stood at the lattice OF the open Win
dow.
That was seven years after
had run away from home. but I had
never once forgotten my mother She
was my idol. / prayed to her. In my
trouble I talked aloud to her.
We'll, as | stood there I said to her
that | was sorry | had left her and
caused her SO much unhappinesS.
That now that I was about to die,
wanted her to know, too. that I had
always loved her.
Just then it became little light
in the east and there began to be a
breeze. cooling the intensity OF the
heat I heard her voice as I am talk
ing to you now:
You will not die
Then it was as if she kissed me as

window made soft flame OF his hair.
l used to go to the head of the stairs
and watch him come up, his fine hair
cleaning in the dusk OF the stairway.
For weeks after he died, whenever
