to read him the war news and In the

throat seemed irritable. His cousin
was alarmed, for several of her ser
wants were i'll with influenza. but the
professor was inclined to laugh 1t off,

and admitted, when questioned that
he felt pain all over Helped by his
faithful body servant Baxter, he was
put to bed, and he listened while Mrs.
Severn sang a much-liked song. sum

which might be very grave if the pa

That evening the professor enjoyed
a dinner, consisting of sole and pleas
ant and champagne, and on Friday he
seemed TO be much better On Satur-
day morning there was a change so
marked that the doctor was alarmed.
and from that time Mr. Ruskin sank
into an unconscious state, and the
breathing lessened in strength, until. at
800. it faded away in a peaceful sleep.
