CHAPTER XI
36/43

Doc said it was a shame, but as soon as I seen the man I said it served him right, and that he was a fraud, but Doc swallered him right down, hide an' hoof.
"They had the seance in the hotel parlor, and no charge, so me and ma went, thought we wasn't jist sure it was right; but I says it wasn't as if it was real--we knowed it was all foolishness; so ma and me trotted along.

I found out afterward that Doc paid to have the feller come to Kilo.

His name was Moller, an' he was one of them long-haired greasy-lookin' men.
"I must say it was real scary when they turned the lights down an' Moller made tables jump around and fiddles play without anybody playin' on them.

There wasn't many folks there, but ma held my hand, an' I held ma's, and Doc was right in front of us.
"Moller did a lot of tricks sich as I hear they always do, an' then he said he'd bring up any spirits anyone would like to have come up.

That was what Doc was waitin' for, and he popped right up.
"'I should like to talk to Bacon,' he says.
"'Bacon ?' says Moller.
