not seriously hurt. She lifted the dog into the eallta
and the man drove on. Not receiving any call or diree%a
from his mistress as was usual he stopped the carriage sad

St. George's Hospital, which was near at hand. ";at
there it was discovered that she must have been dead Sc'er4
little time. Mrs. Carlyle's health had been for sell of
months feeble, but not in a state to excite aniieti
