 Hastily the lid was removed and aa soon as the AffriRhtened workers ap- preached the strange object they saw that what apparently lay before th0m was the corpse of Helen S0ttley. Dxs. Bushong and Kohlsr were at once summoned and they noticed that the evidence of death were not there, not . sign of decomposition. So instead of being wrapped in the clothes of death, the girl was placed in @ bed and [ closer examination made. It was found that the hands were warm and . slight flush appeared on the cheeks. Re- storatives were applied, but to no avail. These conditions were the same throughout the night and all next day. To-day the mother is watching by the bedside of her girl, not know. ing whether & corpse lies between the sheets or whether there is life in the motionless form.
