her, never imagining for moment
that it would result SO seriously as
It did. He arrayed himself in a

nerves experienced by the frightful
apparition proved too mnch for
her. She fell in fit, only to
wake raving maniac. For five
or six years ber friends managed
to keep her at home until her
health began to fail, when they
| very reluctantly decided upon
sending her to the asylum. She
fingered there for some time, until
death relieved her of her suffering.
