did 1t, and so are we all. He was such an
even-tempered and jolly man, and never
seemed to be -0ut of sorts in the least. Mrs
Jones can think Of no reason whatever. Moth
ing had occurred in his past life to give
him cause. He and his wife were very happy
together, their domestic affairs were in excel

a proud and happy couple. So far as l know
