looking man, and he held the revolver
In his left hand. Neither my husband

when We could find nothing to ex-
plain what had occurred we decided
that it must have been Imagination,
and that our being in strong sympathy

to the conclusion it must have been
either indigestion or Imagination, she
turned very pale and said: You have

"She then told me that her husband
