open the whole abdominal cavity, but
laid the stomach itself open, while at
the same time the curve or hook at the
end Of the blade drew the stomach out on
the grass in such way Is to make the

Naturally the wound was regarded a.
fatal No one had ever heard IL that
time Of repairing q fractured rennet, and,
far from medical assistance, weeping
friends gathered about the young mans
PROSTATE form, for every one realized
that even this phenomenal climate,
which for years has euchred the ceme-
terry out Of it's dividends, could not save
him. < lS4s ,#&5a.E {
It was at this supreme moment that
the woman Of the house came forth and
honored her sex (this is a matter Of his

softened it, and with q needle sewed up
the stomach, returned it to the vast

carefully also.
Of course she did not embroider q
