suddenly and very unexpectedly

1t was the first intimation that
her father had that she was in i'm

the last ones received she had told
Of her desire to get home to the
green hills and valleys of her native
county. The stay in Aiken was
carefully weighed and she gave it
in her opinion as having been oenefi
cial.
Three months ago she had gone
there and through the months her
letters were filed with her indoms
liable personality. She spoke of the
fight which she was waging against
the malady which had relentlessly
pursued her for several years and
gave it as her opinion that she was
as strong if not stronger than when
she went South.
Preparations we're being made for
the return home to spend the sum
mer in the town which she SO dearly
loved, with her father and grand
mother by,whom she was SO greatly
beloved.

letters which glowed so with hope

demis came as shock almost too
