The treatment recommended by the society

pose that body must not be meddled with or
removed without the previous permi ssion of a
coroner.

and away he ran to the common, intending to
get back before his mother missed him.
just as he reached there the men was load
ing the cannon for the last time, and that they
night have loud report, they put in turf and
other things, and when all was ready, touched
he match the gun burst, and the fragments
we're flying in every direction. George, who
Dllt Just reached the ground, stood long way
1if, and yet was the only one injured large
llece OF the cannon hit him, cutting him
Utmost in two, and in an instant he was dead.
