his body was laid at rest in the family
vault IN the local cemetery. Four years
aga, or over SO years after the body was
placed in the vault, q sexton, noticing

opened it. Imagine his surprise to find
therein what he thought was new

perfectly that the sexton doubted his
wits and wondered if it were not body
that had been placed in the vault unbe-
known to him. Knowing that the fam
lily that owned the vault were all long
since dead, the sexton went to the exec
htor Of the estate and told him OF his
discovery. Together they visited the
vault, and at the first look the executor
exclaimed, Good heavens, that's the
body Of young son of the family who
died moro than So years ago!' Greatly
RstOnished, they carefully examined the
remains and found them thoroughly
