be the matter. My mother came to my
room a few minutes later and 1 said to
her:

next morning and inquire. wanted to go,
too, and we went. We never felt any fear
of the fever. 1t seems to follow some fam
lilies, and they have a death every time it
comes but we had never had it.
I'VE reached the house, and there was
something very quiet about it, as il some
thing might have happened. My mothe;
asked after Isabel, and ID was as l felt
sure It would be.
" Isabel died last night her friend said
and we have just come from burying her.
People are buried very quickly when they

angel in her white night dress, with her
long hair hanging around her her Big blue
eyes and flushed cheeks, and she was so
anxious to go to Lizzie that in the de-

10 get her back to bed. AS soon as we-did
the last symptoms of the disease set in
and she died Immediately.
