of our most popular schools. In the afternoon,
after school was out, she went to visit O

minutes, the doctor pronounclng 1t sunstroke.
Her body was inferred tho next day at ten
O'clock and her mother, an old lady about
fifty years of age, and her husband and one
little son, went home almost brOken-hearted,
and have eince been nearly distracted, being
at times unable to sleep, and in fact leading q
most miserable and disconsoate life; and we'll

known what they had done. Well, one night
last week the mother, after passing must
