Tragic Story Of the Origin Of the p.

"A skeleton in the cupboard Ii q
familiar expression which has a tragic
origin. The story is that q certain
widow in England had a son In India.
but owing to his failing health his
mother became very anxious for his
return. One day she received q letter
from him containing the strange re-
quest that she should find some one
who had no care or trouble and ask her
to make six shirts for him.
Anxious to accede to his wishes, the
mother hunted long and finally found
q lady who apparently fulfilled the
condition. The lady listened in silence
to the request and then invited the
widow into her bedroom, and there she
opened a cupboard. which contained a
human skeleton.
Madam" she said. II endeavor to
keep my trouble to myself. but every
night my husband compels mi to kiss
that skeleton. which was once his n
val. whom he killed in q duel many
years ago. Think You that I am hap
