The beseeching voice ended with a choking sob. The woman in the circle could speak no more. She was
overcome with emotion.

The tenseness of the group continued. The low sobbing of the woman who had spoken was the only sign
that people were in this darkened roomтАФwaitingтАФ listening.

"He say he will try to speak," babbled Little Flower. "He say he will try, because she wish. He say he feel
that she is worry. That she need him to tell -"

"I do need him, Little Flower," pleaded the woman. "Tell him that since he went to the spirit world I have
been alone. I need his advice."

"He is talking now," piped Little Flower. "He tell me more now. He say his name is JтАФJтАФit is like John,
he say -"

"That is right, Little Flower!" exclaimed the woman. "He has told you right. Oh, my dear Jonathan! He
knew so much about the worldтАФhe was so successfulтАФand now, without him to tell me what to do -"

"He see your trouble," pattered Little Flower. "He say his name is Jonathan. He see you worry about the
money that you have. You are afraid you are not wise -"

"Jonathan knows!" bemoaned the woman. "He is speaking from the dead - from the spirit plane. Tell him
that I soldтАФthat I did what he advisedтАФbut that now -"

The speaker paused, for the voice of Little Flower was commencing to talk again.

"Jonathan he speak to me," came the shrill utterance. "He say he understand. He tell you all through me.
He say you do well to sell the stock he say to sell."

"That is true, Little Flower!" gasped the sitter. "Only Jonathan could know about it. Speak to him again,
Little Flower. I know it is my Jonathan!"

"He say that you have sold, but you worry about how to buy. You are afraid without him to tell. You
wish to know what you must buy to be sure."

"That is true! That is true!" the woman exclaimed.

"He is on the spirit plane," continued Little Flower's voice, "but he can see earthly plane, too. He see
something that you must buy.

"Yes, he tell me you must buy. It will make you have much money. Very much money, he say. It is a long
nameтАФtoo long for Little Flower to remember. She cannot understand such big word."

"Please, Little Flower! Please try to understand!"

"Little Flower she cannot say big words. But he say letters. Listen, while Little Flower try to say the
letters: C-O-R-N-A-D-O -"
