fixed idea that an island is q piece OF

one, pulling . blade and biting the

The lady could only stare. "WEa,
is your idea of grass?" she asked, at
last.

will be buried. II was the decision
Of tho officers after examining the
premiSeS and investigating the SUR
rounding circumstances, that theE0'
was no necessity for the holding Of am
inquest and so none was held. The
circumstances Of his death did not In
dicate foul play. No one had seen
him all day Thursday. nor looked for
him, as he had told his neIghbcrs he
intended to 60 to town that day and
get some clothing. His neighbOr. Jet
Cairns, heard bis horse in the barn
and looked in. He supposed tho doo-
tor had not returned from town, 90 he
did not feed IL. VIII Need, noticing
the windows down all day Thursday
and Friday too. knocked ct the door
loudly and long. As he got no ans
wer he pushed up q window and an
awful sight met bis gaze. The doc
tors body was badly decomposed.
Drs. Schenbergsr and Jones were
called and said he had been dead
at least twenty.four hours. He had
been troubled with asthma and heart
trouble and evidently passed away in
one Of the attacks to which he was
subject. He had lately complained
Of pan and cramps. From appear
ances he had mot suffered much. He
was lying on his right side on his
couch when found, with his hand to-
bis heart, and 90 passed away.
In looking through the Doctors
home nearly $1,000 In money and
checks was found. It had been placed
In various drawers and trunks about
the house, not particularly secretly.
There was no indication that anything
had been disturbed in any way, the
DOCTORS gold watch. various articles
'f jewelry, papers, etc., being found
Just where they likely had bssn left
BY the owners hand.
The valuables, including the money,
