CURED in Rome in a long time happened

her two children a little girl and boy, we're
playing on the street and the boy, who was
e years old, said he would run upstairs and
get the bird cage The two children started
up the stairway which led up to long dark
hallway The little girl paused an instant at
the head Of the stairs and told her brother not
TO go back in the hail, as it was so dark. The
boy was not afraid of the darkness and went
on At the back end of the hall a tall, old
fashioned counter, which had been moved
from the store below, stood against the wall.
On top of this was the bird cage out OF the
boys reach. The counter was about twenty
feet long and was made of very heavy oak
timber The boy climbed up the front of the
counter. II was wider at the top than at the
| bottom ana was very top heavy. When even
with the projecting edge of the top Of the
counter il turned over. The little girl heard
the crash as il fell. She called her brother,
but no answer came. She called him several
times but all was silent. She then went
downstairs and told some of the bOarders that
Jim had fallen upstairs and was hurt. They
took a light and went up, and lying under the
counter with his head crushed to a pulp they
