THURSDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 23, 1890.246They have brought us a poor soul whom we will materialise; and perhaps, with the aid of Tom, we canbring him through to-night .—EYA.S.: How do you do, friends?Friends: How do you do?S.: I would like to stop here a little while.Mrs. B.: All right; you are welcome to stay as long as you please.S.: There is nothing the matter, but I would like to go in the other room.Mrs. B.: All right; go anywhere you please.S.: If anyone should look for me, just tell them I am not here.Mrs. B.: Yes, I will tell them.S.: I have got a little blood on me; I killed a rabbit.Mrs. B.: We will protect you here.S.: Thank you, madam; you are very kind. Oh!! !— Shut the door, please.Mrs. B.: Yes, we will shut the door; you needn’t be at all alarmed; you are perfectly safehere.S.: There is nothing the matter, you know.Mrs. B.: I merely wanted to assure you that you are perfectly safe here. If anybody comeshere, I will send them off.S.: Yes, do, please. It’s nothing; only we got into a little dispute, you know. That is all.Mr. F.: What did you do with your rabbit?S.: Oh, I just left it outside. I didn’t know but what you might notice I had a little bloodon my pantaloons. Oh! I didn’t see anything; no, I didn’t see anything.Mr. F.: What makes you appear to be so nervous?S.: I am a little nervous, yes; but that is all there is of it.Tom: Well, I declare, John! What are you doing here?S.: Don’t mention it. Don’t say anything about me.Tom: I would like to know what you are doing here?S.: I just stopped in for a little while to rest me. I was very tired.Tom: You are welcome to rest here, because these are good friends; they make everyonewelcome, and they never tell who they have got with them, so you needn’t be at all alarmed.S.: The lady seemed to be kind; she said she wouldn’t tell—it’s no matter about that.Tom: What’s the matter with you?S.: There’s nothing to tell.Tom: Why, no; I am sure it is nothing for a man to kill a rabbit.S.: No, that’s nothing. I didn’t know but they might think it a little strange. Oh! Could Igo upstairs a moment?Mrs. B.: Yes, you are welcome to go upstairs if you want to.S.: Don’t mention that there is anybody upstairs. I see them coming! Oh God, I see themcoming!Tom: Now you just keep a little quiet. There is nothing going to harm you. Don’t you knowyou are out of harm’s way now?S.: Yes, I guess it is all right here. It is very quiet and pleasant here.Tom: Of course it is, and we are all shut up here, and there is no light; so you see you aresafe.S.: I haven’t been very well.Tom: You don’t appear well; you appear to be in a very nervous condition. Say, your nameis John, isn’t it?S.: Yes; but no matter about it.Tom: I don’t care to tell anyone about it, only Sarah told me your name is John. Youremember Sarah?S.: Oh, yes, I remember her very well; but how could she tell you?

247Tom: How can one person tell another one anything?S.: Do you mean Sarah Mansfield?Tom: Yes.S.: She died quite a little while ago.Tom: She is alive just the same.S.: Well, maybe she is; I don’t know. Oh!!!Tom: What makes you scream out like that?S.: I didn’t see anything at all.Tom: Of course, there’s nothing for you to see. I think you have got the tremens, haven’tyou?S.: Oh, no, no.Tom: Have you been drinking too much?S.: Oh, no, no.Tom: What makes you scream out like that every little while?S.: It’s just a little nervousness.Tom: See here, John, I think it would be better for you to tell the truth; because if anyonedoes anything, and they will confess it and tell the truth, they will feel much better than to keephiding as you are trying to hide now.S.: I am not hiding; no, no, I am not hiding.Tom: There is no use for you to try and keep it back any longer.S.: I guess I will go.Tom: No, I want you to stay here, because I am going to take care of you. I will be one ofthe best friends you ever had.Mrs. B.: Tell us your trouble.S.: It’s no trouble.Tom: Say, John, I have got something to tell you. A long time ago there was a little girl, andher name was Lucy. Do you remember?S.: Remember Lucy who?Tom: Your Lucy.S.: Of course, I remember her.Tom: Don’t you remember how you used to hold her on your knee and tell her stories?S.: Yes, but that’s no matter. Don’t speak of it.Tom: Little Lucy is a very bright spirit now, and she loves her papa.S.: No, she couldn’t do that.Tom: Yes, she does.S.: Have you a little water? I would like to wipe off this stain.Mrs. B.: Yes, there is a little tub of clean water over there.S.: It doesn’t look well. Oh! ! !Tom: Well, I declare! You are the most nervous man I ever saw. What is the matter?S.: I am trying to wash it out.Tom: What do you want to wash it out for?S.: It doesn’t look well. I wasn’t careful, you know, when I killed that rabbit.Tom: I don’t think you ought to be troubled about that.S: Well, it might get me into trouble. I would rather have it washed out. There! No! no! no!Oh!!!Tom: See here, John, I want you to listen to me for a little while. I have got a story to tellyou. What made you go down there to that place?S.: Hush!Tom: No harm can come to you now.S.: How do you know anything about it?Tom: Because I know all your past life and all about you, just as if I had lived right withyou; because I can come into your surroundings and come in contact with your condition; and atthe present time I can take up your past and read it like an open book.S.: Please don’t speak quite so loud.
