she has born children.
Four of the five children by her first hus--
band died during his absence, leaving one
daughter, young lady, still living with her
mother. Friday of last week Mr.. Bell called
at the home to see his family and found the
above state of affairs existing. He did not
create scene, nor did he in the least blame
any one but himself.
He remained with the family until Satnr-

New York, where he was going on business
