deformed. She is now recovering from
This deformity. She does not feel any
bad effects of her strange illness and has
felt no pains for two months.
During her illness twelve physicians
visited her but her case bcf1ed't them all:
Nearly every Sunday persorsfrom miles
around went to Mr.. Compton's home to
learn the condition of the child and to
hear the most marvellous story thaS had
ever been told them.
Before the little girl recovered, one
large stone bruise on each heel caused
her intense suffering. Often before she
became speechless she said that she felt
something in her throat like worm and
tried to reach her fingers to it to pull 1t
out. Her constant request was that she
be prayed for and she believes now that
prayer and merciful God restored her
to health.
She is pretty little girl, apparently
not over eight or nine years old, and
answered intelligently and pleasantly
all questions asked her by the reporter.
Money was left for her while she was i'll
and her father brought her to the city
Yesterday to let her purchase what she
wanted, and she bought handsome bu-
reau with it.
Several persons in the city who had
heard of her case, gave her presents and
she was told that when she returned to
town others would do likcwise.-Grecn-
