Hole In the Skull.
The hole in the skull could easily
have been caused by a heavy thrust
with a pen-knife. The whole CHASTITY

and then added that the mouth was
slit from ear to ear. II seems to me
that the reader would have reason to

a point. But is nevertheless the fact.
It struck me as curious: don't know
why, exactly,-but II did.
