Tended Buchanan, were present at the un-

At 10 o'clock Mrs. Buchanan arrived
She slipped through tho crowd unobseryed
and passed into the room. When she
reached the side of the casket she leaned
forward, and in most pitiful manner
said: "Ohl Robert, dear Rob, speak to
me. Robi Robl open your eyes and look
at mo, Robl"
Leaning forward the poor woman kissed
the face of her dead husband again and
again, repeatedly calling upon him to

wilder and more historical until at last,
unable to control herself, she almost
shrieked in anguish, "Oh, Rob, love you

After some difficulty her friends sue
ceeded in getting the unfortunate woman
out of tho room. She was taken ko an
other room by her friends.
