resting place if your relatives neglected
to pay the rent! Yet this is what hap

for term of years, and if at the end
of that time the lease is not renewed
the remains are dug up and the ground

only child, daughter. Marshall Is a
man Of modest means and seemingly not

on opening it saw four men standing
in the shadow by the porch. Our horse
has fallen and hurt himself. Can you
lend us a lanternT politely inquired one
Of the men. Marshall turned toward the
kitchen to comply with the request, and
as he did so one of the men stepped for
ward and dealt him stunning blow on
the base of the brain with a slungshot.
Marshall was bound while still uncon-
scious. Miss Marshall was also bound
and a heavy muffier tied over her face.
The house was then searched and SO was
secured, which the robbers took away
with them.
