with his wife during his absence. Returning to
the house with Mrs. Hughes, he once more eS-

reached the outside of the house when his wife
arose from her bed, walked to the window, and

find her lifeleSS body stretched out upon the
upper step, where she had died without giving
Il sign of her sudden dissolution.
