Years - Lifeless Body

st. Louis.-For a year Marie Leh'
man, 26 years old, counted the days
which she must pass before, under the
terms of life insurance policy, she
could kill herself and thus leave her
helpless invalid sister Maggie, 19 years
old, $1,000.
A clause in the policy said that the
insurance would not be paid if the
holder of the policy committed suicide
within one year, but that after that
self.destruction would not be bar to
collecting the insurance. The year
expired and Marie Lehman killed her
self next day by swallowing carbolic
acid.
The insurance policy, naming her
sister as beneficiary, was found among
her effects at the rooming house on
Pine street, where she lived.
When the last thread was off the
reel her mission was ended, and she
carried out the resolution which she
had made year before.
When Maggie Lehman was seven
years old scarlet fever made her a
hopeless invalid who required con,
slant attention night and day.
For the IL years which have passed
since then the burden of caring for
the afflicted girl had been upon the
shoulders of her sister.
Their father ranchman in Idaho,
was shot from ambush and killed five
years ago, and under the terms of his
Will each of the girls received $4,000.
This small fortune was rapidly dwin.

sisters share, but her own, for medi.

Only few hundred dollars remained
when Marie hit upon the plan of in.
surfing her life in her sisters favor
and killing herself.
The fulfillment came when she
