While at Mrs. Dudley's the other
kNafternoon, Bailey Bird, coming down
xSthe hall stairway, which has no hand
6rail, ventured too near the edge of
the stairs and fell into the hall be-
8low. The fall would have been quite
painful and disastrous for Bailey, had
, 3d. not Mrs. Collins caught his arm and
/ in measure broken the force of the
kfall. The horrible and pitiful part
B4of the affair was that, in falling,
SHBalley crashed down onto little Ma
mie Verne, who was placidly sitting
lat the side of the stairway with her
vchubby feet stuck out in front OF her
sand dreamy smile of retrospection
Aon her little face. Mamie Verne had
1no warning of the terrible catastro-
b}phe which was overtaking her, and
sso. of course, could not get out of
the way. When the dreadful crash
was heard and the guests rushed to
1.-The spot where Bailey had fallen and
fpulled him off of Mamie's PROSTATE
K dform, it was entirely too late to help
Mamie; flat and inert she lay, her
smiling face smashed to smithereens
without groan or cry of anguish
without even calling to her mother,
Marcia, one last farewell-Mamie
hVerne passed away.
