The death Of Mr.. Hay came with shock
ing unexpectedness to his family and to the
two physicians who attended him during
his last days. 1t was not due, the family

left Mr.. Hay to the care of his trained nurse.
Miss Kelso. About II o'clock Mr.. Hay

At about a quarter past midnight Mr..
Hay awoke suddenly and called to the nurse.
He could articulate only with the greatest
