made me. For even after the days Of
my trouble, he still told me that he

You know, in England, persons who
own nice homes give them sucn names,
and I concluded that the Americans

have had some strange experiences &c
worry over.
About three weeks ago, 1 received a
message to go to Liberty park 10 care
for a patient. The person who sent
the message refused to give a name or
make any sort of explanation of the
nature Of the case. As it was about

frightened and hurried back to the hos
