AS a matter Of fact the body that

picked her up that her name was
Katie Mclean. The police learned
that Patrolman Harding of their sta

she was the woman killed.

went away, therefore, without even
lifting the sheet under which the
body lay, and began the preparations
for the funeral. In due course the
funeral was held and the body buried.
Meanwhile Mrs. Mclean, who is en-
ployed at hotel, kept on with her
work. Knowing nothing OF the funeral
she knew of no urgent reason for go

however, surprised at her sisters long
