unseen hand, which covered her mouth from ear to. ear.
Full of the horrors of resurrectionism, the woman was
so stupefied that she had not power or presence of mind
to pull it off, but ran into a neighbouring shop in sr

kindly assisted in iidd•na her of the cause of her alarm,
which, on examination, she found to be a letter she had
dispatched that forenoon to one of her •former cus•
