using the same play two success

same thing. Those who had seen

Occasionally the wires were up
and he spoke as well as ever,
though slowly and heavily. Then
speech would suddenly desert
him. In the middle of a sentence
perhaps, and for hours, some
times, we would wait for the con-
nection to be re-established. He
complained of great pain In his

period that he arranged a system
of communication against the
time when speech should leave
him altogether--one pressure OF
