For eleven years, Miss C. Stovold, aged twenty-six, of New Cross-road, London, has been haunted by a penny. In May, 1925, Miss Stovold discovered in her purse a penny, across the face of which was engraved, "No. 12, II." Underneath are the initials "T.S." and "RF, 12, 1917."
"Since then," Miss Stovold told me yesterday, "the penny has followed me persistently. It has even pursued me across the Atlantic and back. I changed it on a boat going to Canada, and three years later, on my return in another boat, there it was waiting for me. Twice the coin has come into my possession in wool shops. Looking in my purse yesterday, there it was again. How it came to me this time is a mystery to me."
