Gently his family discussed the wisdom
Of allowing his wife and her sister,
Miss Harris, and children to remain with
him. The Colonel became suspicious that
The children would be taken away, and
summed the society OF all strange persons,
becoming &" shy OF human beings" as the
Germans say. A few days before the
tragedy he was restless and excited, and
60 strange were his actions that his wife
said. "Well. the end is not far off," Her
fe1rs were that he would commit suicide.
