two of her children dead and the third
one sick. The latter, a little fellow,
however, was able to talk, and said that
they had polSed their fingers through a
crack in the floor and a hen under the
house had bitten them
Mrs. Wilson hurried back 10 the spring
and there found that her little baby had
crawled into it and been drowned. When
the mother returned TO the house she
found the little boy also dead.
Sametime later the father returned.
