I could see him from the knees up. And the only difference was, when he was in the casket, the undertaker, who knew him, combed his hair the way he used to comb it when he was younger, parted on the side here and all pulled over. As my father got older, the hair got thinner here, so he used to part it down the centre and put it this way. That's the way his hair was combed when I saw him standing at the bed. So I got a shock. And I said, "What do you want? What matter?" And then, before he would ...'. • ..'' ' the latterY" And then, betore he would have aid anything, I said, "Are you saved?" He said, "Yes, you know I'd be saved." And then I said again, "What do you want?" He said, "A bill." "Oh," I said, "no, there isn't," He said, "Yes, there is," I said, "Where?" He said, "Malcolm Dan Mac? Lellan' s. $16,25, And," he said, "the bill is 25 years old," By this time, I had lost my fear. And I turned my eyes off him, because I was get? ting ready to ask questions about the oth? er world, I put the book down on the table, and turned. There was nothing there. (Oh, he didn't stay and talk to you.) No, As soon as he got the message across, he dis? appeared. Well, I didn't sleep all night, I just sat there and smoked cigarettes. Dawn came, I went out and said Mass. So then I went to see MacLellan, and I told MacLellan, And I said, "I had an awful experience last night," I said, "I don't believe in this," I said, "There's only one other case quite similar. I'm going to go to Inverness and," I said, "if there's a bill in Inverness, then I've got to believe it. If not," I said, "I'm going on to Halifax to see a psychiatrist." So it was a Saturday morn? ing. He said, "Go ahead." So I came home, and I went over to the mer? chant. And I called him aside. And I told him what happened. "No, no, no," he said, "no, no. Your father is even," "Well," I said, "there's something, I'd like to-- have you got old bills?" "Oh," he said, "well, yeah, yeah, yeah," "Well," I said, "I want to go through them," He said, "Wait a minute. I'm kind of busy now. But at dinnertime there'll be a lull, I'll go with you," So he took me upstairs to an old office he had, and we went through every bloody bill--no, nothing. So he said, "Look at that!" He said, "Your father would come up Suppliers of Conmercial Recreational Fencing 0. Box 98, King St., North Sydney, N. S. B2A 3M1 794-4773 "Have our auger truck dig your holes." (6 7
