"'Absolutely certain.' "'Well go and look in our large iron safe, and see if it is there.' "'Of course I will do it, but I know it is useless, as I have turned out the contents hundreds of times.' "Well, would you believe it, in a short time he returned and handed Mr. Funk an envelope containing two Widow's Mites, a smaller light coloured one and a black one. The envelope had been found in a little drawer in the iron safe under a lot of papers, where it had not been seen or disturbed for many years. In fact it had been entirely forgotten. "Now, the curious part of the affair was that the smaller bright coin had been thought to be the genuine one, and had in consequence been used for the Dictionary. No one dreamt that the black one could be the genuine one. However, at the next séance when George began talking, I said to George, 'I find there are two coins in the envelope, tell me which of the two is the right one?' "Instantly he replied, 'Why, the black coin of course.' "Mr. Funk said, 'I am certain he is wrong there, I know that the black coin is spurious.' "Then he asked George again, 'Can you tell me to whom I have to return it?' "He replied, 'To a friend of Mr. Beecher's, I can't remember his name, but I have seen a picture of the college where he resides, and I know that it is in Brooklyn.' "'What part of Brooklyn?' asked Mr. Funk. "'On Brooklyn Heights.' "'A gentlemen's or a ladies' school?' "'A ladies' school.' "On enquiry Mr. Funk found that a ladies' school was there, and that the Principal was a Professor Charles West. "On consulting his old ledgers, he found that this was the very man to whom he had promised to return the coin. "At a future sitting Mr. Funk said to George, 'Why could you not tell me his name right away?' "'I don't know,' replied George, 'For some reason Mr. Beecher would not tell me. He said he was not concerned about the return of the coin, all he wanted was to give me a test which would convince me that there was a direct communication between the two worlds, and having succeeded in that, he cared nothing more about it.' "After receiving this surprising answer, Mr. Funk sent the two coins again to the Mint, and received the reply that the director had consulted the assistant in the department of coins in the British Museum and was assured that the black coin was the genuine one.
