will hear OF its parents tragic fate.
My wife, said Mr.. Owen, was
naturally much wrought up after the
death OF our daughter, and our doe
tor told us it would be better for her
TO care for the child and relieve her
mind. We brought the baby to Do
yer and it is with us now. We will
keep it and rear It"
