Each al lows for a huge open fire. These she got by spying from her automobile a sign of Secondhand lumber for sale" on the grounds where an old hotel was being raZed. She recalled that in her childhood she had once visited some children who were staying at the then fashionable though old-fashioned hotel. The memory also came of high carved mantel in the so-called nursery. frorc which goodies were reached for the ?mpromptu juvenile tea party, and turning back, she dscreetly alighted from her automobile some distance away and proceeded to find the con tractor. As a result of her interview she proudly says $50 or $225, as she waves her hand toward these perfect marbles.

preparations for his death,
He climbed the ladder-ikc stairway
of the building. made a clear space
near the window, and, making a moose
OF the short rope, placed it about his
neck and after fastening the other
end firmly TO the rafters of the barn
flung himself into space. His neck
was not broken. strange TO say, but
he was strangled to death as his
weight tightened the moose about his
neck
His body was not discovered until
about 1:3O a. m.. when his son went
TO the barn to secure a shovel.
