Miss Emme,s son, claimed that she did not

The neighbor was indignant a. this, "a he

M. John W. Var EIOcklin, of Twin

and was away from home with his wagon

his wife and two l:.r.e children, the eldest
five years old, AL week, except Saturday

the children enjoyed good health, and the
husband and father had no fear .or the

were near reighhors. too. On Saturday
evening the two children used 70 rodGle a

their father came 20 meet him and get a
ride home IL the wagon. On a late Sa-ur
day Nj. Van Byochlin was returning home
as usual, ard the two little fellows had
gone quite a distance to meet Inn. He
stopped to ta Ike them in the wagon. and as
he lifted them up he asked, How is

He found his wife indeed in bed insensible

alone: 10 Ieighbors were near. He called
loudly for help; the ne;ghbors were alarmed;
a doctor was summoned. but before lie ar
rived the poor woman had passed away.
The doctor said her attack was OF para

This is the chiidren's story. gethered from
them by odds and ends: On ThuEday eve

TO her and tod them she was sick, and II

she fell down on the bed. She Fever said
anything more to them. and they at first
supposed she was asleep. 1t was growing

turned them into the pasture again. The
neichbors seeing the children at their

Oldest child began 10 be little frightened,
