that Jim fell for the PARROTS. OF
course they'd learned all about him.
and 1t wasn't long before messages
began to come through In the little
circle that used to gather in the Par
rotts rooms. Mrs. Parrot generally
acted as the medium. She would go
into her frances, AND voices would
come through her lips--first her con-
| troll, the Indian, and then Aunt Mary
or Uncle Toby, as the case might be.
And SO Mrs. Thompson came. They
used to talk something like this:
us that you, Jim7 Dear Jim, how
pleased 1 am to see you again.
Are you happier. Dalsy7"
I'm happier than I deserve. am
trying to accommodate myself to the
vibrations of the fourth sphere. Jim,
1t Is far superior to anything on
earth.'
Are you an angel, darling?"
mo, l shan't be an angel till
reach the seventh sphere, but I am
privileged to watch over you. Jim,
are you contributing to the great
cause? Are you giving literally to the
Spiritualists?
"Why. dunno, Daisy. You see"
Dear Mrs. PARROT doesn't want
anything beyond her mediums fee,
but there's great need at the state
Spiritualist headquarters, Jim. Throw
your bread upon the waters, Jim"
That was the line Of talk, and after
a while it grew more definite. There
was an oil company, or something, In
st. Louis. which was going to turn
investors into millionaires. He was
to invest his money In that, and give |
1.-THE to the good work, etc. OF |
course the PARROTS were back Of the
swindler. And there was Jim, almost
falling for 1t, and yet clutching his
money like grim death. Oh, 1t was
amusing to sit by and look on.
OF course I was the only member
of the circle who saw the game, and
/ stayed from curiosity. I had no
interest In Jim Thompson's money.
And then one night-Mrs PARROT
hadn't been feeling well, she said
after she got into her trance-for
some time the usual voices didn't
come, And then, all Of a sudden, q
voice came from her lips that startled
everybody.
"Jim. Jim," It said where are !

Mrs. Parrot started and opened her
yes. Then the familiar, nasal whine
cyan: I

the small investor and to emphasize
the necessity OF investigating thor
oughly every investment proposition
before placing any money therein.
When you have been furnished with
the information called for In this
QUESTIONABLE, take 1t to any one of
the banking institutions in your COM
munity and get its opinion of the stock
offered. If the stock salesman refuses
to fill out this questionable, have
nothing more to do with his PROPOSE
ton. as it is evident that he is foster
ing a fraudulent promotion"
The QUESTIONABLE pins the salesman
