Mondays issue This version puts DR.

as stated Monday, while the couple We're
together, the doctor grew drowsy, and
the lady left the room, as she did so

head She went TO a rear room on some

of the house. evidently intending 20 en-
ter the room by the front door. A door
opens out upon q small portic0 In front

sitting. As she mounted the step leadin &
up TO the pOrticO, DR.. Beck was standing
in this door. He called out halt" and
she raised her hands, took hold Of the
shawl which partly concealed her face
and threw II back SO as 10 reveal Il.

after he put her into his buggy and
drove with her TO the residence of Mr.

them Of Mr.. Jones and carried the news
Of the terrible event to him.-ColJmbus
