gether they discussed what they would
have for luncheon. and Colonel Inger-
soil said he had better not eat much
owing to the trouble with bis stomach.
He seemed In good spirits then. After
talking fora fews minutes Colonsl m
gersoll crossed the room and sat down
In a rocking chair. He leaned bis head
upon his hand. which rested upon the
back Of the chair. Mrs. InGersoll asked
him how he was feeling and he. re-
piled: "Oh. better"
These were his last words. A second
after they were uttered he was dead.
The only sign noticed by Mrs. lnger-
soil was that the whites Of his eyes
suddenly showed. There was not even
a sign or groan as death came. Doc
tors were hastily called, but their YER
dict was then that death had come in

recently expressed desire II should.
