ter. Cora. The young lady is one OF the
charming misses Of the city, she being

suppose Cora until two years ago last
March. was as healthy and strong as any
girl of her age She was attending school
and was studying hard. Perhaps she was
too studious. for We noticed that the
healthy color In her cheek was rapidly
