aroused from her sleep by the cries Of the
boy Almore. She fastened to the Sleep
ing room above, and found it completely
filled with deadly coal gas, which obvi-
| ously had come from the range in the ad-
joining kitchen. She Immediately opened
the windows, letting in fresh air, and
| examining the occupants Of the room
found Mrs. Hinkley barely able to talk,
Mrs. Emery in state of profound uncon.
seriousness, and the boy sick. Miss Pills
bury's quick Judgment impelled her to
resort at once to measures for the relief
of the party, and at last accounts all were
