the work that she had time for nothing
else. During daylight hours she was al
most always absent from her nome and
even her evenings We're spent out, Her
mother ana sisters noticed that the bloom
was rapidly fading rom her face and
urged her to abandon the work at least
for A Time BIT sh, ytould not. Mean
time Miss Bibighaus instead of making
converts or endeavoring to do so was
fast going to ruin. She had contracted
the opium habit, and instead of reform-

opium smoking She finally became sick,
and the next day sLc died.
