In the mildest attacks there is paleness Of

times there is actual loss of consciousness.

"He was rich and he was not in love-
why should he want to die?" So they say
when they're talking about the suicide.
Well, now how do we know he was not in

Maybe little Tottie Coughdrop, late OF the

with a nice, healthy chauffeur-and nobody
even knew the rich young man had more than
a speaking acquaintance with her.
