queer sight. The body Of the dead man was
stretched upon a table and four candles bur

were placed upon the stomach (for what pur-
pose is unexplained.) At another table two
Mexicans, negro and white man were play

frail Hunter was expressing her fears that
the presence of the dead would prove an in
